    Made a reservation for 10pm. Wasn’t seated until 11:20pm! I reserved 2 tables & we weren’t able to sit near each other. Host wasn’t very accommodating & was rather irritated. Which made my over all experience not so great. The drinks & food was good. Would return maybe earlier in the day. Server was also very nice.

    We waited 20 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. Once we were seated we had to find a waitress after waiting 15 minutes. The food was okay. To be honest what we ordered tasted like it came from a food court. The ambience was nice. The music was super loud. I couldn’t hear the conversation between my friend and I.

    Choose to come back rather than trying somewhere new. Great food and ambience made up for the minor things we missed that could further elevate the experience.

    Came to Mei Mei for a birthday dinner and everyone in my party enjoyed their food and drinks and the space was beautiful. The spicy beef bulgogi wasn’t spicy at all but still good and the drinks were a 10/10. When making the reservations there’s an option that ask what type of occasion and of course I put “Birthday” for the occasion and the acknowledged that it was my birthday, BUT it cost $50 for them to come out with a sign, sparklers, a shot or cake. Which doesn’t seem to make any sense to me because if your celebrating a birthday that should be automatic. Also, we were in the back near the fireplace and we were burning up. Overall good experience.
