Some of the best Chinese food in houston, loved the pineapple shrimp fried rice , the service here was impeccable. They really made you feel welcomed even as they were short staffed you never felt it. I will be telling everyone about this place and I'll be coming back often

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. We were seated almost as quickly as we could say 'XO Fish Filet,' and the team was on point all night. Our server was like a service ninja—refilling water, keeping our rice coming, and nailing recommendations. The service? Flawless.Even better than the service was the food. We dove into the XO Fish Filet, Shaking Chicken, and Charsui beef. That Charsui beef? A game-changer. And every dish hit the spot. For dessert, we went big with the Lava Toast. Imagine French toast on steroids—Texas toast smothered in buttery goodness and stuffed with creamy egg custard. Don't miss out on this unique treat.As a business owner, I can appreciate an operation that runs smoothly, and this place has it down to a science. Even though it was packed, the staff never missed a beat, and we were checked on often. The owner and head chef was ensuring everyone was as happy with their meals as we were. A top tier organization.One minor suggestion, though: as a serious rice lover, I would have liked to see bigger portions of rice—unlimited rice is fantastic, but after 4 rounds of rice just for myself, the waiters legs were getting tired from running back and forth!P.S. Bonus points for tables ready to chopsticks. They get us.

My trip down Bellaire this evening brought me to Mein and boy it was a great experience. I got there at about 6:00pm and it was already busy but we were seated immediately.The decor and theme I gotta say was picked out nicely. Lots of metal hardware and hardy wood placed throughout the room. Very cool lighting and paintings placed on the wallsThe restaurant is an open floor plan so it is very noisy. I would say the biggest drawback to the ambience is the chatter and busyness to it all. Not a great a sit down with candlelight and have a conversations kind of outing but nonetheless there were lots of couples there.The service was among some of the best as they were on their game tonight it seemed. Food was prepared and delivered quickly and with great presentation. I was a little disappointed with the rice portioning. Not sure if it was because the scoop was small but I eat a lot of rice and ordered 4 rice servers just for myself. See photo below for details. If you like rice served with your dishes, order lots of side rices.The plates we ordered were XO Fish Filet, Shaking Chicken, Charsui, and Lava Toast. the XO was better prepared than most other restaurants as the breaded fish was not overly cooked and breaded. The Charsui was my favorite of the night and was delicious. Recommend this dish. It is more of an appetizer portion size but the Shaking chicken was a great contrast between the two.Overall, wonderful flavor and great service! Would recommend!

Awesome food. We love the shaking tofu, and salt pepper squid. Great food is matched with great service. Drinks were refilled when needed and our server made sure our orders came out good.

This place has been really nice. I understand that food price went up due to inflation, but portion got smaller. I always have enjoyed walnut prawns, but for $18, they serve very small portion, not like before..

I frequent this area and this place was on my list!We were seated quickly and our food was ready in no time!Nice ambiance, friendly staff, we ordered a few of the popular dishes and here are my thoughts on the food.- firecracker chicken lacked a little bit of flavor and chicken texture was a bit too chewy- Drunkin noodles were cooked to perfection and had lots of flavor. This was my favorite- chicken fried rice …. Was just okay- Lava toast was VERY yummy
