Food was amazing! We ordered 2 appetizers a side of MeiMei fried rice (which is enough for 2 people) And the beef and broccoli which we also shared because of their huge servings. We had reservations for 7:15 but had to wait about 25 mins due to it being a Saturday night. Also there a little lounge downstairs. Good Vibes!

We had a reservation and still waited over 30 minutes for a table. When we asked the hostess how much longer she said they were waiting for a table to open up but there were several open tables. When that was pointed out to her, she said the tables are too close together - so why would you have a table there if you weren’t going to seat people at it? They also had one person seated at a table waiting for the rest of her party for over an hour by herself taking up a table. The food was good, but I think over priced for what it was. Ambience wasn’t great. It was over crowded and loud. People at the bar were blocking the isle at the bar to the point where you couldn’t walk through. There was also a person taking pictures walking around taking up more space where there wasn’t any. I guess she was trying to sell pictures, but it was all just really unnecessary.

The food and service was great. The lamb chops were unbearably salty and we did have to return them. Apparently, that’s not typical. Loved the wings, seafood rice, beef teriyaki skewers were amazing as well as the Mei Mei sushi roll.

All the food was delicious. Drinks were good. I did not appreciate being sat right next to the hostess table at the entry of the door. I am STILL WAITING FOR A MANAGER OR OWNER TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THR $100 cleaning fee my credit card was charged because my sister got sick at the table. There is no cleaning fee policy on their website. On the menu. They lied and said they tried to contact me after we left. No call. No email. Will be filing suit civilly and on better business sites and with the city of Philadelphia
