This place is dangerous!!! Irene Li (James Beard winner and the OG "little sister" aka mei mei) has created magic. From dumpling making classes, to easy-to-steam/fry/airfry frozen set, this place makes my little Asian heart so happy. A factory selling common Asian cooking items, this place brings smiles all around. Easy streetside free parking and indoor/outdoor dining options. Be sure to check out the free dumpling sauce recipes online as well as the beautiful instagram feed for updated hours. For the FOOD: I love being smacked in the face with flavor, making the lemongrass pork and ginger chicken dumplings my two favorites. The cheddar scallion potato and curried sweet potato dumplings have a subtler flavor profile but are also yummy. I just hosted a party and deep fried 3 bags of dumplings, which were a hit!

Stopped by here for lunch with the kids. The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing. We had the chicken dumplings, some deep fried, some pan fried. Both were great, the deep fried are crispier, the pan fried softer. I've also tried the potato and cheese dumplings, which are my favorite, and the double awesome, which is the best breakfast sandwich ever. The food comes out quickly. It is on the pricier side for lunch, around $15 for 8 dumplings, but I think it's well worth it for food this good.

We recently took a dumpling class with Caitlin and Alyssa. Caitlin was a excellent instructor and Alyssa was very helpful. What and fun way to spend an evening! The course was fantastic and the fruit of our labor was incredible. Both the Lemongrass Pork and Five Spice Tofu Mushroom fillings were delicious. We really enjoyed the snacks they provided and the beer/wine/sake/food that was available for purchase. A class at Mei Mei is a great group event or couples date night activity. I say Yeah Yeah to Mei Mei!

The dumplings are AMAZING. I highly recommend the lemongrass pork, and the cheddar scallion potato dumplings. We originally thought this was a restaurant with a menu you could order hot meals off of. We asked to see a menu and were informed they only had the cooler selection of to-go options that they could heat up for us. There is a large seating area meant for cooking classes and private events. I would love to try a dumpling making class here. Very cute little shop with an assortment of to go products like maple syrup, sauces, jewelry, and cute little stuffed animals.

I was walking back to the car after a successful spin class next door and stumbled upon Mei Mei Dumplings by accident. I stopped to look at their menu and decided to continue walking. Once I made it back to the car, I decided to walk back because I was incredibly hungry and who doesn't enjoy dumplings? I ordered "The Party", which is a sampler of 3 different dumplings they have on their menu and I was not disappointed. These dumplings were unlike any that I have tried before. I honestly don't have a favorite out of the three because they were all wonderful. The soy aioli complimented the dumplings well & pro tip: ask for spicy onion crisps and mix it in with the sauce... SO YUMS.

Mei Mei Dumplings was a very nice clean restaurant takeout. They even have a special of $28.88 for bottomless dumplings if you eat in house during a certain timeframe. I ordered the lemongrass pork and the lamb dumplings, which reminded me of Momos. I really enjoyed these dumplings, but I wouldn't say they were traditional dumplings like soup, dumplings, or just pork and leek dumplings. But I really like the infrastructure here and it was very spacious. patio was nice. And you can get cocktails here.

What a fun time! I came here for the dumpling making class, and what a great time. They provide you with the materials, filling included, and they teach you 8 or so ways to make the dumplings. It's easy to follow too - there are tv screens projecting the steps, and someone else circulates to help too. You end the evening with cooking your finished product, and there are a few extra fun times in between - competition to be the fastest table to make a particular dumpling, volunteer to cook their dumplings up front, shout outs for birthdays, etc. we had. Our instructors/hosts were Caitlyn and Tina (I hope I got the spelling right), and they were amazing. Cute spot too, and clean - would love to come back here just to eat.

Took a dumpling making class here - so fun!! In about 2 hours, you learn how to make several different shapes of dumplings, learn about the history of the business, get to actually cook your own dumplings, and mix your own sauces. Then you eat them! They have beer & cocktails to purchase and take-home dumplings as well. Super fun and awesome and engaging staff!

I popped into Mei Mei for the Double Awesome breakfast sandwich. It's made with two slow poached eggs, local greens pesto, Vermont cheddar, stuffed into a scallion pancake, with sriracha ketchup on the side. It is a real treat, and one you should seek out if you're spending time in Boston. I do recommend adding bacon, which they offer, because I felt it needed a little extra crunch. So good!

It was my first time visiting Mei Mei. I was in the area and thought I should try it out! It's not too big and not too small. I like that you can see the kitchen in the back, and it looked like they were teaching a class or doing a tour while I was there. Cool!! It was super easy to order. You sit and wait for the food. I ordered the Dumpling Party, which is a sampler of Lemongrass pork, cheddar scallion potato, & 5 spice tofu mushroom dumplings. I like that it came with a little salad too! I liked them and surprising the cheddar scallion potato was my favorite. It reminded me of a pierogi. I would love to try more flavors on a future visit.
