Great chinese food close to the hospital! Quick and easy and reliable! Totally recommend!
We always get our food to-go (seriously, my family has been getting take-out from Meemah's for the past decade or so and I can't even remember the last time that we've actually dined INSIDE the restaurant), so I can't really rate the service.
The food however, is great!
We've tried a little bit of everything on the menu over the years, but our orders tend to rotate through our time-tested staples: General Tso's Chicken (my dad's all-time favorite), Jumbo Shrimp with Ginger and Scallions, House Special Fish Fillets, Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, Egg Drop Soup, and Hot and Sour Soup.
The food is adequate if not slightly overpriced. Meemah to me is take-out food presented in a restaurant setting; the fried rice and lo mein are drenched in sauce. It should be telling that the customers are predominantly Caucasian, whereas Dragon Palace on Oak Tree Road has mostly Chinese customers.
Long reviews lose clarity so I'll share with you the most important fact about this place.
Their dumplings with spicy sauce (there's 8 of 'em in one order!) are out of this world. It's a shrimp and pork (?) dumpling with a spicy, savory peanut sauce… I moved back to the East Coast from California and for 13 long years I missed 'em. Make them your whole meal if you want–they're *that* good!!
Sidenote: If you're vegetarian and you don't want to miss out on the fun, there's a vegetarian dumpling option!
So many years ago, this Chinese-Malaysian place opens in Edison. The Star Ledger raved about it-yep, I used to read the newspaper every day! I had been to Malaysia twice, the second time on our Honeymoon. Working in Roseland at the time, I began to look for an excuse to be in the area. The excuse finally came in the form of a condolence call three miles away.
After my colleague and I paid our respects, we headed on over. And we were completely blown away. Sesame Dumplings in hot sauce, and satay in peanut sauce to start. Salt and Pepper Squid, Crispy Duck, and Golden Ginger Prawns for entrees. We made ourselves known to who we thought was the owner and advised it was some of the best chinese food we had ever had.
Since that memorable meal, we have continued to take out and dine in. There are times that I will stop in and just pick up four orders of spicy dumplings to go. We just can't get enough of them. Alas, my favorite squid dish does not travel.
If only Meemah was closer, we'd be here all the time.
I'd rate their food at 3.5 and then their customer service at a 2.5, they weren't very attentive to our needs at all and quite dismissive. We had a party of 10 so we ordered a large variety of dishes, myself ordering their chicken pad thai (not bad, a tad dry for my liking) and their pineapple fried rice was good – I love when they hollow out the pineapple and use the pineapple skin as your dish.
One of my guests ordered the Mee Goreng and she said it does not reflect mee goreng at all. Definitely do not recommend their curries. I think you can definitely find better Malaysian food in the area – go to Penang instead.
Great food tonight. We had golden ginger prawns and general Tao chicken white meat delicious. Service was very friendly and very helpful. I think they got rid of the waiter I didn't like even though I think he's the husband of the owner.
