My trip down Bellaire this evening brought me to Mein and boy it was a great experience. I got there at about 6:00pm and it was already busy but we were seated immediately. The decor and theme I gotta say was picked out nicely. Lots of metal hardware and hardy wood placed throughout the room. Very cool lighting and paintings placed on the walls The restaurant is an open floor plan so it is very noisy. I would say the biggest drawback to the ambience is the chatter and busyness to it all. Not a great a sit down with candlelight and have a conversations kind of outing but nonetheless there were lots of couples there. The service was among some of the best as they were on their game tonight it seemed. Food was prepared and delivered quickly and with great presentation. I was a little disappointed with the rice portioning. Not sure if it was because the scoop was small but I eat a lot of rice and ordered 4 rice servers just for myself. See photo below for details. If you like rice served with your dishes, order lots of side rices. The plates we ordered were XO Fish Filet, Shaking Chicken, Charsui, and Lava Toast. the XO was better prepared than most other restaurants as the breaded fish was not overly cooked and breaded. The Charsui was my favorite of the night and was delicious. Recommend this dish. It is more of an appetizer portion size but the Shaking chicken was a great contrast between the two. Overall, wonderful flavor and great service! Would recommend!

Awesome food. We love the shaking tofu, and salt pepper squid. Great food is matched with great service. Drinks were refilled when needed and our server made sure our orders came out good.
