Meemah - Edison

First time here and it was actually recommended by a sweet old lady I was speaking to on a train ride back from NYC. I bookmarked it and made sure that I would visit since it’s not far from where I live and where I usually hang out. Walked in on a Thursday night and while the dining room wasn’t busy, there were quite a few people waiting for their takeout orders. Dining room was clean and and well-kept and since it only had a couple of occupied tables, it was quiet. I’d imagine this place gets packed with patrons during lunch considering Metropark is within a half mile and is probably busy Friday nights too. I grabbed a takeout menu and briefly looked it over. I noticed there were no dinner combo specials and decided to double-check with the host and see if there was an incremental charge to make the lunch combo a dinner combo. Host said they do not offer dinner combos and I would have to order a quart of what I wanted. No biggie. Since I haven’t had Chinese food in a while, I was craving some chicken and broccoli with white rice (I usually go with the brown but wanted some Jasmine rice), and fried/steamed chicken dumplings, which they had. Man what a great dinner! The chicken and broccoli was cooked perfectly and was still hot by the time I got home. I laid it on top of the steamed rice and enjoyed every bite. I finished the entire quart in one sitting including the steamed chicken dumplings. The chicken and broccoli was TOTALLY worth it but to be honest, I was hoping the dumplings were going to be the bigger versions stuffed with chicken. The cost of those dumplings didn’t really add up and I felt like they were the wholesale club version. All-in-all I will definitely return for takeout!

I used to go to this place for years when I worked over in Iselin. What happened to Meemah? The place has changed since they got new ownership. They are not friendly. The greeter was unwelcoming to me and 1st time guests. The waiter was rude and snatched the menu from my hand and more over they over peppered my food because the food was too spicy to eat. And the quality of the chicken was spongy. I would never go there again. If I could give them Zero stars I would. So sad, it used to be nice.

Quite a small establishment for a restaurant. We decided to pickup dinner here on the way home from the Convention Center. Food was pretty good. This was also reflected by how busy it was for takeout. Not completely authentic Chinese food, although it had some good choices to make up for it. Although quite a distance from us I'd go back again if in the nabe. One caveat a touch pricey.

Quality of the food is good. Prices are high but consistent with the rest of the restaurants in the area. Salmon with vegetables, tasted fresh.

The best Chinese food in Central Jersey!! Everything is delicious and there's always enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
