Mei's Kitchen — Restaurant in Alaska

I really really REALLY wanted to like this place after hearing and reading such amazing reviews!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 Got the extra spicy fried shrimp, chicken wings, meis spicy fried chicken, garlic bok choy, and egg rolls. Everything we ordered extra spicy, which it was not, but what seasoning was there had a really good flavor. Our biggest issue was the chicken meat itself and the cook of meat. Everything was very “game-y” and I have never in my life had gamey chicken before. Its very clear they do not marinate any of the meat and unfortunately the flavor of the chicken overpowered the flavors of spice and seasoning and left a TERRIBLE aftertaste. All the chicken was overcooked which could have attributed to the nasty taste. We didn’t get sick luckily, so it wasn’t spoiled meat thankfully. The shrimp used is Costcos premade frozen shrimp with Meis spices. The seasoning tasted good but the shrimp was overcooked. Might not have been so upset if their price was better for frozen shrimp they didn’t even batter and fry themselves. Portion sizes were a HUGE disappointment, the pictures are not correct. The egg rolls were the size of a little smokey sausage. The BEST thing we got was the garlic bok choy, it was garlicy, buttery, hot and delicious but portion was for one person. We were all super hungry but after eating $60 of food we didn’t get much other than awful taste for hours even after going out and getting a Moose’s Tooth Santa’s little helper pizza! We wont be going back, but I hope they make changes...

Service was great, and he was very helpful in answering questions we had!

The Spicy Fried Chicken was very flavorful & the spice level was perfect! Highly recommend getting it with a side of rice because fried chicken & rice are always a good combo, duhh 😂

The Spicy Garlic Mussels were probably my least favorite. I just tasted more garlic than flavor.

Braised Beef Noodle soup was on point! Broth was light and flavorful. The beef was nice and tender and the veggies were a perfect consistency.

The Mongolian Beef had great flavorful and the beef was well cooked and not tough!

The Lychee Tea was so refreshing and delicious! Can’t wait to try their other flavors.

The price point here was definitely fair and you do get a pretty good size portion here. We will definitely be back to try more...

Wow my new favorite Chinese restaurant! I love the noodles here they have super tiny noodles and big flat noodles! I am very picky with my noodles and theres are dangerously good! I have been here about3-4 times and it’s dangerous cause it’s addicting! i have tried the 5 spice 5/5 i have tried sweet and sour chicken 5/5 chicken brocclie 5/5 the chicken chowmein and beef chowmein tiny and flat noodles 10/5! The wings are 5/5! Man at the front desk is very informative and awesome. I have to fight the urge for noodles because of this place! I think all the veggies and meat are the right portions i feel like the noodles are a good amount i always save half for later. I recommend this place its very good and has different Options than others . Area is OK, dining is clean and quiet...
