La Mei Zi

So the parking lot is honestly terrible. It is under construction and very congested and you will have a really tumultuous time trying to find parking with all the one ways.

Is in a shopping plaza and where it is in a shopping plaza there is really no exit or entrance there because of the construction so you will have to navigate yourself accordingly.

The space is a large dining room type area with a big table in the middle (with carryout things stocked on it).

When I came in it was pretty crowded and I told the lady at the front that I wanted to see to dine in and she just pointed to the table she wanted me to go to. She didn't actually take me or lead me to the table. She pointed across the room, and I feel like that could have been treated a little bit better or a little bit differently. Along with that I had to wait just to get a menu. I don't even know if they knew I was there for a while, which was really annoying... Sitting with no menu or water or anything.

Let me say that you get large portions here, so dont expect to come here and get a kids meal size helping. They feed you like an adult!

General Tso - was super good. I have no complaints about this. It came out hot and cooked to perfection in the sauce was just as flavorful and spicy as it needed to be.
Chicken dumpling - I have no issue, the dumplings were good. Soft and tender, they hit the spot.
Veggie spring roll - spring rolls were good and came with a sauce that really set them off. I would definitely get these every time.
Wonton in hot Sichuan sauce - No this I ordered randomly just because I happen to catch another table near me with it. It's a spicy dish, so if you don't want the spice you don't need this. But they had several of the dumplings in the spicy oil and it was really flavorful. It may have been more spice in heat than it was flavor, if that makes any sense, but is still was really good.

I would 100% come back to this spot. Maybe I would evaluate when I go because the parking lot is a mess. Especially because they're doing construction right now on it. But at the same time, the food would definitely get me back in the door.

The food and ambience are amazing here. We ordered a bit of everything and shared it family style. They put us at a lazy susan table. I definitely suggest trying the eggplant dish and some of the noodle dishes. The chicken and beef dishes were also really good... just order a bunch and share with the people you're with.

As for the service they were so nice, fast and friendly. I commented on the food they made for the staff and they asked if I wanted to try, food is the quickest way to my heart and it worked.

Give this La Mei Zi a try.

Nestled in the back of Asian Square, La Mei Zi has an extensive menu of Taiwanese and Chinese cuisines. We've been here a couple of times over the last few years, but have been more so recently. The food has been consistent-- no frills, just good food. The taste is flavorful and isn't obviously oily.

They have a lot of pick-up and delivery orders. Dining in is nice. It's a simple and relaxed ambiance. Staff is welcoming, and the food comes out in a timely manner.

Came here for lunch on a weekend, wasn't too crowded. They are doing some construction in the parking lot of the plaza la mei zi is located in, so beware of the parking situation. We ordered many dishes to share. The service here was quick and efficient. They served us tea upon arrival. My favorite dish was the walnut shrimp, the shrimp was humungous, crispy and flavorful! It also tasted very fresh. The shrimp dish was also served with some broccoli. The green bean dish was also good. The green beans were not too soft and not overly cooked. The spicy fish fillet dish was not too spicy and I wish it was a little more soupy like other places, but the one here was more of a thick sauce consistency. The spicy chicken dish was really flavorful and even though it was fried chicken, it was not too oily. Overall, la mei zi is a great place to come and share a few dishes, family style.

The food was excellent as was the service. Everyone was kind, attentive and helpful even making suggestions as needed. Can't wait to go back and try more things! We ordered a bunch of things and shared around the table, family style. Highlights: salt and pepper chicken was a fave for everyone. We had both house fried rice and plain fried rice to accommodate allergies. Both delicious and full of flavor. The scallion pancake was excellent. The kids loved the orange chicken- we had it adjusted for spice. Letdown was the 3 cups chicken. Had to be 3 cups of sugar bc the sauce was entirely too sweet. After while you adjusted to the sweet and salty flavor but it was not a fan fave. The dumplings were hit or miss and I've had better honey walnut shrimp. Overall, I would still call this a hit! Portions were plentiful and prices reasonable. Don't let the parking deter you, give it a try.

Pros:
* spacious parking lot
* sweet and attentive staff
* scallion pancake & house fried rice FTW!
* beautifully lit restaurant
* HUGE menu
* kid friendly menu!

Cons:
* the 3 cups chicken wasn't great, too sweet but i am blaming this on the yelpers lol. It came highly recommended and sadly, it was ok.

Ordering online yielded a timely pickup experience, though the shopping center was a bit cramped and someone was outside shouting about what sounded like some bad driver behavior shortly before I got there. They had the option at least to order the classic mapo tofu without meat, and a moderate number of vegetarian choices. My tofu delivered a rich flavor and a bit of numbing sensation that suggests they used the real stuff in their spice mix. It was quite large and filling. My veggie dumplings contained corn, mushrooms, and a few other goodies and were likewise plentiful.

I was a bit surprised they didn't offer more things; for example a three cup tofu is one of my favorite dishes but they only offered that preparation in non-vegetarian fashion. But what I got worked out well.

Just get in your car and come here. I haven't been for years and I am kicking myself. We ate light. Steamed chicken dumplings, Taiwanese rice noodles with pork and 3 cups chicken. I want to order many other dishes... like tonight. This shopping center is dangerous. Sweet hut...The banh mi place... the bbq pork place next door....damn thank goodness I don't live close to buhi! I would be so fat!! lol!

Great restaurant, will definitely come back! The food here was delicious - I relied on previous Yelp reviews and they did not disappoint.

We got the eggplant and pork dish, sichuan fish filet (which, as promised, had a tingly/numbing effect because of the pepper as we ate it!), and chilli wontons. Everything we got was delicious and the service was good too!

I ordered via Uber eats, so idk if the service is good, but the food was delicious! The lo mein was really good, and the mei fun had a complexity of flavors. The cilantro really added a freshness to the food! I want to try this place in person, and there are so many items on the menu that I want to try!
