I have been coming to this restaurant since they opened over 30 years ago. They are still here because the food is great and for me, it’s just a small reminder of my childhood when I spent the few dollars in my pocket on lunch specials here regularly.
There are a lot of options in the neighborhood but these are the types of small businesses that keep community alive. No doubt they are a top chinese food restaurant in the area. Thank you Mee staff!

Spent almost $80 for delivery with seamless. Cold sesame noodles were good, but chicken dishes and dumplings were disgusting. Stay away. I’m so sorry for the horrible review, the place has always been pretty reliable, not this time.

Sometimes you just want hassle free, NYC style, inexpensive Chinese food in a no no no frills setting. Mee is that kind of spot. It moved out of my neighborhood when Covid shut it down, and I missed the roast soy chicken noodle soup that got me through the winter. I am happy as a clam that I can make a quick trek down to the East Village for a hot steamy bowl. The waiter is the best, he remembered me and what I liked. I've had other dishes as well but I mostly recommend the roast meat noodle soups. The duck soup is very good. Like I said, quick cheap eats, satisfying and good noodle soups!

Was a regular at the midtown location. So sad to see them get pushed out of the neighborhood. I have not been able to visit the downtown location in person, but order from them at least once a week. My family refuses to eat any other Chinese takeout. The Fees that you pay on the online ordering platforms are ridiculous, but glad to at least have the option as I am apparently we are not in their regular delivery area.

service is unbelievably rude. I left an $1 tip on a $14 meal (about 8%) because the waiter slammed the check on my table before I had even finished eating. He got upset about the tip, then actually changed the bill and added $2 himself. The food wasn’t even good bland and dry. I ended up leaving $2 cash on the table as a way of saying I’ll never come back.

Food is delicious and the owner is very nice! A very affordable places to dine in the union square area. You also get free fortune cookies! They also have lunch specials and it’s not crowded inside.

I ordered pork fry rice, which was absolutely delightful, minus the eggshells in my rice.

One of my favorite noodle spots to visit when in the city. Love the family vibe, they always make you feel welcomed.

Eat where Allen Ginsberg ate. Get the chow fun soy sauce chicken dry mix (dark meat). Thank me later.
Our kids (now in their 20s) grew up on Mee’s (the old location at 49th and 2nd). They know it’s us because we always add tofu to the chicken and broccoli!

BE AWARE; This restaurant was closed on January 6 2025 for a number of days by the NYC Department of health due to MAJOR food safety and heath violations, including mice, roach and sewer fly infestation; inadequate cleansing of food preparation areas; inadequate temperature in food preparation; stained, unclean clothing worn by food handlers; inappropriate storage of pestisides and the manager not possessing a certificate of extermination.
These violations show a grossly egregious lack of any regard for the health and well being of their customers. Therefore, as former frequent customers, as well as our neighbors, will cease doing any business with this restaurant, regardless of whether they corrected these serious violations.
