Better than most lunch specials. Service was extremely quick and surprisingly a large amount of food. Egg drop soup was better than expected and the best egg roll I have had in the Chicago. Will def try lunch again and will return for dinner.
The staff alone makes this a good place to get food. They haven't returned to dine in since covid. That's the only bad thing I can say about this place.
Great prices for delicious food. Usually get 2 meals out of each order and it has me coming back for more. Their seaweed egg drop soup is amazing and a great way they jazzed up the soup. Very quick getting your order ready and to the point. Ideal spot for a quick pickup
I didn't rate the atmosphere because it is a pickup place, not a dine-in. They closed off the dine-in area. But the Food..WOW so GOOD! The fried rice is so lightly fried and fluffy. I place the following me myself and my next-door neighbor to share. . I ordered the pork fried rice XL. Yum! It was TOO big I should have gotten the regular large size..lol next time. Fried rice with fresh white pork meat not that pinkish to reddish pieces of pork! (yeah I am from New York so this was like the truth being revealed to me on how Asian cuisine is supposed to look and taste like lol ) also ordered vegetable lo mien and garlic chicken (which comes with veggies like broccoli carrots snow peas. this place is Affordable compared to others. You get a lot of food compared to other spots here in Edgewater I will be a regular from now on. not even thinking about trying another Asian food cuisine at this moment..this immediately became a favorite! A top three on what to treat myself to eat on a Friday night/ weekend.. lol ;-) Order from there You will not be disappointed. I went in person since I don't live too far from it. haven't tried their online service yet. Thank you Mei Shung. Awesome fast service and delicious food!
Love their orange chicken lunch/dinner specials!! They’re such nice people! And the food is delicious !
Best Chinese in the neighborhood, and really high quality. Since the pandemic though they've converted to takeout only and the inside looks drab from what it once did. Doesn't effect the food though.
They ignored food allergy instructions on my order and nearly sent me to the ER.
What has happened to this once wonderful restaurant? The last two orders were awful Pot stickers steamed were greasy. The egg drop was filled with sodium The main dishes Two delight had pea pods and two or three mushrooms. The portabello chicken and shrimp had literally ONE mushroom sliced up But they give you so many pea pods you can not find the food .
Mei Shung has great food ! Been going there for years! We have two gripes. First, it's carry out only now. We miss it being full service. Second, they are SO stingy on the sweet sauce! We have to beg & plead for more of it! Many times we must pay an extra dollar for 10 packets! As you can tell we like their sweet sauce. Can't exactly say we get the warm fuzzies when ordering from the staff...almost as if it is an imposition on them being there. I wish we could walk back to the kitchen and tell the wok chefs how good they make our order.
