15005 Yonge St, Aurora, ON L4G 1M5, Canada
Favourite dishes furnished in a warm & compact dining room, with lunch specials & take-out.
Recently moved to the neighbourhood, thought we’d try out the local Chinese takeout. Food is pretty bland, not much taste. Quantity is large however didnt find any of the food tasty. Lacking spice and flavour in general. Disappointed as haven’t had good Chinese food in a while. Will probably not go back again.
First time take out customer. I ordered a noodle dish just to try it. (Wide noodle with Beef and black bean sauce) it was a good sized portion and tasted fresh and delicious. I will order from there again.
Best Asian Food in Aurora, Hands down. Yum. Delivery time was good. Fresh !!
The owners are great. Very friendly and always have time to ask how we're doing. I only rated the atmosphere based on the interaction with staff. I was picking up a take out. I don't often see any diners on site.
Multiple terrible experiences for the past year or so. Every single time they mess up the order and then deny it without providing any compensation or compromise. Just argue and then hang up the phone at your face.Very unfortunate as we have been customers for a while- definitely no more. You’d think a business would prefer to provide a replacement of a 10$ item to keep a consistent customer. Their loss.
What are you doing to the soo guy? I always order 2 orders and lately it is dried out chicken and inedible. I complained to the owner and she said yes she knew and that the cook didn't understand and it would be good now and it wasn't. We used to order 120.00 worth of food and pay 25.00 tip for them to deliver from aurora to south newmarket (Savage road area). Not worth it anymore and stopped ordering.
I haven't tasted Chinese food this amazing in years! I live in Brampton, where we have only mediochre mall Chinese food being offered. Mei Ling offers Chinese food that I remember having as a kid - completely delicious and well worth going out of your way for! The next time I'm in Aurora, I'm definitely going there! Aurora, you are blessed to have such incredible Chinese food right downtown! Thanks, Mei Ling, for totally making my day!
Very good family owned Chinese restaurant. The food is delicious and is cooked with love. You can taste it in every bite. Definitely best chinese restaurant in Aurora! All dishes are amazing! Best Chicken corn soup in town!
Once the best in town, always the best in town. Thank you for you consistently the same quality Food : 5/5
The tasteless Chinese food I Ever had ..
Best Chinese food in Aurora. Hot & Sour Soup and the Szechuan dinner is very good.
Very good food. Servings are large. The price was pretty good. Didnt stand out as fantastic, but good just the same.
Terrible experience. i went on it because of these Google reviews. Their menu indicated 10% cash but they didnt honour their statement. If youre not going to honour what you put out there then shame on you. I tried to explain but to no avail.
The best Chinese food north of Spadina. Excellent value run by terrific people. Never fails to make everyone happy. Jory Bocknek Food : 5/5 |
I genuinely feel bad leaving a bad review but I ve had too many bad experiences with this restaurant. The other day, three of us had gastrointestinal issues after eating this food. Other instances involved hair in food.
I ordered from them on Dec 30th for my birthday. It was the best food I have had. It was very flavorful and hot. Even my family was impressed and wanted to know where I ordered from. And they always ordered from Mandarin Now they have your number thank you
We wait for the order for 40 minutes and after all this time we got wrong order, the food is not worth the waiting and specially not all our time I probably will never go back to this place, I was so hungry and stayed hungry after all.... disappointed
tasty
It was after 9pm when I called for a food delivery. I was quoted a really high price without being able to confirm the price with a menu. I believe they changed me way above the regular menu prices. I chose to go ahead because I was hungry, no other choices were available at that time of night(other than pizza).
Great food very tasty
Amazing food I love it
Love this place ...one of the best chinese food places Ive ever eaten at. Its my go to every time Im in the area. Food is always freshly cooked and served piping hot. Only draw back is they still dont really have eat in service. If you like Peking Duck ...I would ahead to arrange it and you will love it. My Just Food
Ive been here with my family for at least 15 years. Best Chinese food place we go to when I visit my parents.
This place is amazing. I like the size of the dishes and the price is right. I tried many places in newmarket and Aurora and I liked this one the best. Plus they re always busy! Vegetarian options: Lots of dishes that are vegetarian Parking: Never had to wait for a spot, lots of options Wheelchair accessibility: You can park right infront of the door.
I order from here all the time . But last night I ordered and was very disappointed and embassressed for my guest the food was terrible . The chicken balls were were so hard and over cooked even the children couldnt eat them and the beef in the veg was like leather and the breaded shimp was over cooked as well . So it was a total waste of 81.00 for a meal nobody could eat.
The service was friendly and professional. The delivery was prompt and the FOOD was fantastic I ordered the deluxe dinner for two and it wasn t salty and the everything tasted delicious.It was every bit as good as the Mandarin or Four Seasons if not better Thank you I Food
Our first time here, we got the dinner for 4 and added a few items. I requested no onions or mushrooms in meal, and it came exactly as requested. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted fantastic. Best fried wontons Ive ever had, (highly recommend them). Definitely will be ordering again soon. Parking: Parking was okay when we went, there are a few spots, and easy to get in and out.
Charged one price on delivery then decided to come back and ask for more money. Food isnt even that good. We will never go back.
Getting pricey with smaller portions. Used to be much better but sadly still the best take-out in Aurora.
Always seen this place, went many years ago. Finialy tried it again. Fell In love, will go again.
Been here a few times and the last two were disappointing. Friendly service but the food is very bland. The ingredients in the dishes are good but I think I wont be back for some time. Life is too short for bland food :(
Have been going here for many years, always friendly, always delicious
Excellent portions, great customer service.
We used to order take out quite often from here because my son somehow liked the food and wife thinking it was natural ingredients only, .. I very seldom tried it, but when I did I was shocked how bad the quality was, smelly chicken with horrible aftertaste, rubbery beef,.. on one occasion my son insisted to go here on his school recess, having little time I stepped to the counter and ordered the usual for my son which included 1 extra rice, we sat and waited for food, I told the lady my son was having the food there, she brought the food packed and in take out containers,. I asked for water she never acknowledged and behaved as if she was upset/angry .. she brought one glass of water for my son not bothering to bring me one or even ask. Asked for napkins she completely ignored me despite being few steps from me, it was embarrassing to keep asking and getting no response with 2 other customers seeing/hearing it all. was completely baffled and shocked by this bizarre behavior, .. food as mentioned is not fresh and sauce sticky like glue, most likely loaded with MSG, not sure where my wife got the all natural ingredient idea for this location, perhaps from some of their advertisements but I dont believe it for a second. Bad food, bad service, horrible attitude, they lost my sons and my wifes frequent business. This dates back to over a year and half ago and before COVID.
A-ma-zing food!!! The best Ive had in a very very long time!!! Prices are reasonable for the quantity you receive. If you havent tried Mei Lings its definitely a must have!!!
Took takeout. Hot , steaming, fragrant dishes with a lot of flavor. Highly reccomend
The owner is extremely friendly & really happy lots of people seem too love her attitude
Mei Ling is our go to in Aurora for Chinese food. It is always fresh and delicious. Chicken balls are our benchmark for comparison - the ones at Mei Ling are full of chicken and not mostly batter like some places. Tonight we tried the Mu shu pork for the first time and it was delicious. Lots of pork a fresh vegetables.
Never disappoints!
affordable & fresh. Amazing friendly staff My go to Chinese restaurant.
Best food in Aurora
Good food and staff.
Food is awesome, big piece of meat
Sorry but this place is another example of Asian food restaurants that are just ripping you off. The quality of the food is sub standard. No flavor because they dont put anything into it.. no sause no ingredients. Just noodles or rice .. nothing of value here. Dont waste your time supporting them.. they obviously dont care about giving value for money.. So fed up with this attitude of charge lots and give nothing. Hope another place with take their location soon.. . Mic drop see ya
Been ordering from here for a while. Food is always hot , tasty and on time !
Always good food and hot and sour soup is the best
Always delicious!
Really good Chinese food. Awesome. Great restaurant. A++++++
Best Chinese food in Aurora! The portions are spot in and love ordering from their combos
Food has gotten worse. Just ordered the other day for the first time in a while. The food tasted burnt and there wasn t much flavour. Also watch out for their delivery charge. It says order $25 and live in the area and it s free delivery. I ordered $60 worth of food and live in the area and they still charged me for delivery. Try Aurora Garden Chinese food. Way better food and I ve never had to pay a delivery charge.
We tried Mei Lings for the first time a few weeks ago. First of all, there were no issues while ordering over the phone. And their food contains no mag. We ordered one of their Dinner for 4 plus dumplings and wontons. It arrived faster than we expected and was delicious. So much so that instead of our usual sushi dinner for Mothers Day this year we had Mei Lings. We tried a Dinner for 5 this time and were not disappointed. Both times we had enough leftovers for a second meal the next evening. I highly recommend Mei Lings!
We have been ordering from this restaurant for over 13 years, the food is always delicious. Very friendly service. Highly recommend!
In my opinion, the best chinese food around. Ive been a customer for over 20 years
Large portions, value meal. Yummy sweet and sour pork ribs
The food is delicious! Ive ordered from 4 other Chinese food restaurants in Aurora/Newmarket since Covid and this is the best by far! The portions are generous and served fresh. The best chicken soo guy served hot and crispy and lemon sauce is authentic. Same with the chicken balls ...not soggy like other restaurants. The BBQ pork chop suey was amazing! Looking forward to ordering different dishes next time! Great value and friendly owners!!!
Always good, always friendly, always slow.
Portions are not very big. Some beef dishes had maybe 3 or 4 small pieces of beef and all vegetables for 12 bucks.
Always tidy. Friendly amd food has been suoer yum so far. No complaints.
Just called to order for delivery, when asking about the portion size for their fried rice the lady asked how many people Im ordering for. I told her for two people and she said thats too small amount of people and that she cant deliver. She tried rushing me off the phone saying its too small.. I let her know she didnt even know what I was going to order then asked whats the minimum amount for delivery. She said 45$ or more. I was planning to order 2 wonton soups, shrimp fried rice, ginger beef and spring rolls. Pretty sure that is enough to make an order for delivery but she refused me before giving me a chance lol.. greedy business.
Great experience food was delicious
nice food
Good is always delicious. Sometimes they are behind however not this time. They called me to see if I was coming oops!
Love the service from this place and there a lot of options on the menu in terms of Chinese food
Great Chinese food restaurant. Perfect for office break lunches in Aurora downtown
I had the sweet and sour pork lunch special. In reality, its mostly just fried batter with sauce on the side. So in summation, the food was very mediocre but service was fast and the place was clean.
Consistently good food
People there are very friendly and the food is really good! Definitely go to be my new good-to for Chinese food :)
Good chinese food for the most part. Liked most of it. Accidentally ordered the wrong spring rolls, because i wasnt aware spring rolls can come with meat. Will order vegetable spring rolls in the future. Mixed vegetables were warmed, but otherwise raw. Check your receipt.
3 times in a row I have not received what I ordered. Very disappointed. Don t waste your time or money
My favorite lunchtime restaurant in Aurora. Quick & friendly service with great food.
Best food in town
Good food. You dont feel gross after eating it like some places with a lot of msg. Friendly staff.
Best Chinese Food in Aurora!
Great food, very clean, great lunchtime specials. Love this place.
Some of the best Chinese food around. Have come to the restaurant a couple times over the last couple months and Ive enjoyed it every time. The food is always good and you are always greeted by a friendly staff. I would recommend trying the egg rolls if you havent already as they are quite good
Delicious!
Fantastic food. I order delivery every time. I can honestly say that they have NEVER made a mistake, taken too long to deliver, or delivered cold food. Seriously impressive
First time coming here because I heard of the reviews were pretty good I gave it a three to start food was good and I would come back again I ll give it a higher mark after a few times going but so far I would go again
Love this place. Awesome folks, excellent service...and the food is fantastic. They are always consistent..so if u order the same dish again ...you can expext the exact same taste. Love it.
They wont answer their phone.
Great food. Dinning area could be bigger..
Very unreliable service. Quality of food is below average. This place gets take out orders wrong. Ive crossed them off my list of good Chinese food places to eat.
This is like 1950s Chinese small town Canadian Chinese food. Definitely not authentic Chinese not like what you get in Chinese restaurants along Hwy 7 in Markham or in asiancourt ( Agincourt). However it fills your stomach and is healthier than Canadian hamburger French fries or wings for dinner. They seem to do a great take out service for caucasian.
has great food always fast and hot only like takeout or delivery the restaurant need some up grades
Nice
The best in town. Quick service and yummy food
Very good Chinese food
Great food and service.
Best food ever, Kay always loves when my mom and I order. Their food is awesome and good service
going here all my life, food is beyond amazing
Food is good but they keep forgetting things for take out. Last time they forgot a main dish item and this time no egg noodles. Also very stingy with soya sauce.
Great people, amazing food, best Chinese food in Aurora ! It can get busy because the food is great, order ahead...if you have to wait a bit its worth it !!!
Food was very good. Friendly staff.
Always have a great meal at Mei Lings - small venue - great food !!
Great food but extremely busy
The best chinese food place i have been to in years.
Best Chinese food in Aurora by far and best Ive had ever!
Good..But expensive for single person
Good local Cantonese food. Most customers order for pickup and delivery.
great food and great people. always very happy and appreciate your business. if im going to order chinese food in aurora i order here.
Good Canadian style Chinese food
Great food no matter if you order in or take out. You get a lot of food for the money. Great service too
Was a little man & pa restaurant...but good food, fresh very fast
The only place for Yaka Mein north of Toronto!
This is the only place I go for Chinese food!
Coming here over 10 years Food is fresh and delicious.
Terrible service. Our delivery took over 2.5 hours. We kept phoning and we kept getting excuses.
Understandably busy on New Years Day but the food was 30 minutes longer being delivered than we were told (it took them over one and a half hours). When the driver arrived, he didnt have the debit machine needed to take our payment despite being very specific on the phone that we were wanting to pay with debit. We chose this place because of the Google reviews but to be honest (and regardless of the lengthy wait and mix up), the food was very average. The chicken fried rice had zero vegetables in it, just small chunks of chicken and run of the mill rice and it was rather bland. We also had the chicken balls which were pretty standard fare - the same that most Chinese food places serve, although there were some strange, unidentifiable black bits in the sweet and sour sauce which we dont expect or necessarily want in our sweet and sour sauce. The other chicken dish was OK, but again, flavourless. It all reminded us of the food you get at the Mandarin. Not a good thing. We wont be ordering from here again.
I only order from them
I am having my dinner while writing this review. I enjoyed the food and the service. I absolutely suggest this place. Try it and enjoy it :)
The best of the best. Friendly service, extras added to your order. Love love this place. My son and I cant get enough chicken balls and deep friend shrimp from them :)..........Wont order from anywhere else.
A group of ten people came for lunch and ordered different dishes. They felt better than the Huohou in Dazhen restaurant! recommend!
If you are a person of colour expect to be treated poorly. Unfortunately customer service is reserved for others.
Amazing food for over 15 years.
Food is good, except... Three times in a row now Ive received an incorrect order. Never again.
The best Chinese food in Aurora and very friendly staff, we always get the dinner for four combo take out, love it!
I have been coming to Mei lings for approx. 3 years and I have yet to be disappointed by anything. I have cleared the majority other menu and have been left completely satisfied each and every time. To be honest I dont know how they make any profit with their lunch specials. their chicken is always cleaned properly, beef and pork have the fat cleaned off and their chicken fried rice has actual chunks of Chicken breast in it. I wish them continued success and hope anyone looking for a good meal tries it!
I wait 10 minutes, nobody comes to serve me!
So good and prices out of this world!!
My knitting group meets here before our monthly meeting and it is always a great place to eat. The food is always hot, fresh and tasty, no matter what you order, and the portions are great value for the price. The staff are always friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions. I highly recommend it.
I ate dinner here tonight and would say this is the best Chinese food I have had in Aurora. They were packed with take-out orders so service was a bit slow. The prices were really reasonable. I got an entire plate of food for under $10 and they substituted some things upon my request. Definitely will be ordering here again.
Just the best Szechuan Food in Aurora, and the York Region Area. Must tries are the Lemon Chicken, Yet-Ca Mein Noodle Soup, homemade spring rools and the best of the best, Calgary Crispy Beef. And always start with a wonton soup!
