Mei Lee Express

My husband and I order from here about twice a month (and honestly probably more) and we’ve always been happy with their food, prices, and portions. It’s strip mall Chinese, not Sorrelina, and it works perfectly for that. They do precicely what they are supposed to do, and well. Huge chicken fingers, really good fried rice, delicious hot and sour soup (although I don’t like that they only offer quarts of soup, but whatevs). I’d say it’s definitely worth a shot, and you might even be hooked.

Typical from a mix neighborhood american chinese food. The pad thai although was nothing like pad thai was ok. Crab rangoon was the typical yummyness for a regular place in the neighborhood.

This place used to be decent when they first opened. Not so good now. Ordered pupu platter for two. Comes fried rice free, also won ton soup last weekend 1÷10÷15. I picked up the order at the store.
The guy cooking is wearing a gray cook shirt. Ahh really its white but its sooo dirty its gray. I have a bad feeling about the food now.
Get back home to eat and find that the fried rice has a weird grayish color to it. I should have photo it. My girlfriend was gonna eat it but I told her not to! The pupu platter was pretty greasy. Boneless spare ribs where all fat, the egg rolls are made with just shredded white cabbage more like a spring roll super greasy, had one bite tossed that! Weird cinnamon taste to the steroid laden chicken wings. Over battered chicken fingers greasy nasty. Tossed it all!
The won ton soup was tasteless water based creation with two pea pods and couple pieces of over cooked bok choy… BAD! Sorry Mei Lee your food is gross! Never going back!

I have to say my girlfriend and I love the food from here. I hate to admit, but we order from here probably more than we should… But that’s how much we enjoy the food here. Usually get general chicken, pork fried rice, crab rangoons and chicken fingers. Sometimes switch it up with lo mein. The food is always hot and delivery is pretty good too, except when they couldn’t find my apartment one time. Otherwise, this place is awesome now that they have special directions on record for our apartment when delivering. Can’t speak for others who have had less than enjoyable experiences here, but I have never had an issue with the food so I keep coming back.

Used to eat here all the time when it was «happy house» and loved it.
Unfortunately the new management lacks consistency when preparing dishes, and seems to be eliminating ingredients to cut costs.
Order a vegetable lo mein for example. Most other restaurants give you a mix of noodles, peapods, waterchestnuts, carrots, green onion, celery, mushrooms, brococoli, beansprouts, green or red pepper chunks and possibly baby corn, watercress or green beans mixed in with the noodles.
What does a large vegetable lo mein consist of here? Mainly Noodles with sauce, a single mushroom half, 3 shreds of carrot, 2 snowpeas and a few pieces of onion. «Vegetable» should be in parenthesis on the menu. And don’t bother asking for extra vegetables, they charge you a dollar for each vegetable you want added then only throw in a single piece of broccoli or two small mushrooms. Ka-​ching!
Regarding consistency, this is really what makes or breaks any restaurant at its core. The food quality I get at mei lee express changes unpredictably from visit to visit for the same menu item. One day the food will be juicy, tender and delicious, the next it is dry, under spiced and blande with half the ingredients of the previous day.
All in all I don’t expect this place to stay in business very long if they keep going the direction they are going and don’t make a few necessary changes to the way they operate.

I got a Poopoo for two delivered with some extra chicken fingers the food was hot crispy fresh and delicious and the price was unbeatable I highly recommend it to anyone just curious enough to try it.

We hadn’t been here since they were Happy House. We won’t be back. Although not the worst Chinese food we’ve had, it was far from the best as the rest of these reviews seem to think.
The crab rangoon was decent. It was lightly fried and chock full of cream cheese but a little light on the crab.
The General Gau’s chicken was a big disappointment. No heat whatsoever, and while some might appreciate the large chunks of tender white meat, the soggy coating was a turn off.
The biggest fail was the egg foo yung. The only meatless option was mushroom (really, they couldn’t just make it vegetable and throw in some carrots and pepper?), and the gravy was a giant tub of thickened soy sauce. WTF? Seriously? Soy sauce on egg foo yung. I had to make my own gravy for it.
The white rice was surprisingly moist and fluffy, so it seems they can do something right. But frankly, I can make my own damn rice so there’s no reason for us to go back.

Great place for American Chinese food. Fast and clean! They always add more spice when we ask for it. The beef chow foon and crab rangoons are decent. I also like the cantonese noodles, ginger chicken, beef with oyster sauce and general gau chicken. Just realize you are ordering American Chinese food. They are always very nice.

Great chicken fingers Huge!
House fried rice is also very good

I’m disappointed every time I go here. They eliminate ingredients to cut costs: no pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce, no pork in the fried wontons, no scrambled egg in the fried rice. And the entrees are different from other restaurants. The General Gau’s chicken isn’t battered and fried like it traditionally is prepared. The chicken chunks are larger but not fried, and covered in so much garlic that it’s barely edible. The chicken in the sweet and sour chicken are large but bland, and the sauce is more sour than sweet. The egg foo yung is greasy and falls apart. They have a few decent appetizers, but every time I decide to give them another chance and order something new, I am always disappointed. The food was better under its previous owners when it was Happy House. The new owners seem very nice, but the food isn’t up to par.

Very friendly folks, just opened under new management. I particularly like the Mei Lee Fried Rice — really great deal and some of the better fried rice I have had.

Love the chicken fingers! These are battered real white chicken meat, not that unidentified substance you get at some restaurants. The fried rice is excellent and also the teriyaki beef strips. The lo mein tastes very fresh and we love the wide noodles they use. The prices are great and they give very fast service.
