Mei King Restaurant in Kitchener

Amazing owners and great food. Fast pick-up for delivery and all at a reasonable cost. My go to chinese place.

It is just OK. Overwhelming amount of peppers and onions in dishes with very little meat. I don t think we would order here again.

Best Chinese food in KW. Not only delicious, but the women working there is SO incredibly nice. Would recommend to anyone !

Mei king has the best lo mein and sesame chicken ever

5 hours after eating the food here and Im surprised that Im still alive. I had to throw out half the chicken balls as they tasted like poison. The chicken fried rice wasnt bad but wasnt anything great either. Thats why they got two stars. I dont recommend you eat here. Ive given this establishment multiple chances and each time, its not good.

Great customer service!

Great place to eat.

Delivered to my workplace when I was faminished. I am been buying from them for maybe a decade

This place was fire

This restaurant has delicious food and their owners take care of their customers. We will come back.

The food gave me life

Love it here. The flavor and freshness is always so nice. Veggies are so crispy. The chicken balls are light and perfect

Back when I used to work in Kitchener, I would stop in here whilst waiting for the bus. The food was cheap and was essentially 2 meals at a cheap price.

My wife and i just picked up our food and we saw that it is Very dirty restaurant, food was cold and meat was stinky . Never go there again.

Parking: Medium size Food

Delicious authentic Chinese cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit for a great food experience

Best Chinese food in KW.

Chicken in the pad Thai was tough and sinewy, didnt know you could even do that with chicken. Wontons in soup were mush. Taste was still good but Id rather get better quality. Fast delivery.

Great service but bad food We used to eat here all the time years ago. It was eventually sold and we noticed a decline in the food quality as well as having a new Chinese food restaurant open near us so we stopped going. Yesterday we were very excited to try it again. We ordered a family dinner and when we picked it up the staff was super friendly. It smelled great in the car on the way home. Unfortunately it was less than great. The ribs were as if they had been cooked days before we wver got them, the chicken balls were all batter and rubbery and to top it off I got a bone sliver in my chicken vegetable almond. I almost feel bad becasue the staff was so friendly but the food wasnt very good and we will not be able to recommend it to others. Very disappointed

Best service ever.

Fast and friendly

RA I EL is mine

Stay far away from this place. They don t care about their customers. We are long time customers that ordered tonight and the food was awful. Lacked taste, quality and quantity. Rice was stale, chicken was tough, Cantonese chow mein had only two mouth fulls of noodles, vegetables were soggy. It was just awful! Never again. YUK! Ate half our plates and we just had to throw it out.

This place has went down hill BIG time. The food is garbage now. Absolutely disgusting!

BARF!! The food is awful. The rice was so bland. Chicken balls tasted like they were cooked 8 hours ago and served to us stale. The chicken wings were undercooked. This place should be inspected.

Favorite Chinese place in KW. The food is always good and service too.

They refused to correct multiple errors and tried to convince me it was my fault even The food was sub par , and one dish was incorrect type They overcharged me and my older eyes didnt notice it and they wont give it back now One star is even too much

Ordered here for pickup order. The food was HOT and AMAZING!! The service was great. The lady was so kind and helpful. Great portions too!

Great place to eat, good service, good food, and all at a reasonable price!

Just perfect Ansestery cherry sauce Food

Delicious food!!

No dining in but excellent food at great prices!!!

My family gets takeout from here. Always good food. Thank you so much.

I love it! The food is great!

Sorry, didnt like some of the food. I really tried to eat some,,, Small pieces of chicken in undercooked dough. (balls) Some dishes had a weird herb, spice, or something,., maybe ok for some. Taste style, in food,, not for me! Not what I expected. Fellow who answered the phone was impatient with me. Hard for us to understand. Seemed pushy to get me off the phone. I spent just over $92.oo +tip

This is a decent low end Chinese food restaurant with some decent dishes. However, I take exception to their description of this dish as with vegetables when it was all onions and peppers and two tiny carrot cubes. Technically accurate but very disappointed. Wish I could post a picture to show how lame it was.

Quick, tasty and affordable Chinese food. Didnt get disappointed yet. If you dont want to cook and dont know what you want, then go with some very good Chinese food from Mei King. Vegetarian options: They have lots vegetarian options.

eggroll king better

Perfect place for Chinese cuisine.

I have been ordering there for a long time,good food for the most part and l am a good tipper,same man delivers,l made him wait for the first time maybe 5 minutes,he was so rude,never again

Very underwhelming food, all my food was mostly veggies and no chicken

BBQ pork fried rice and spring roll were fine but the general tao was tough

Ive been eating takeout from Mei King for decades and its the best its ever been. EXCELLENT Szechuan lo mein!

Nice lunch/combination specials

The food is great! And the staff is even better! The owner is by far one of the nicest people Ive ever met!

Paid extra for items that werent received.

I order take out from here regularly and I love it. My fav Chinese food place! Always yummy and fresh. Slayed the house down boots I m deceased. Makes me feel alive

Very humble establishment. Very nice lady at the front was very welcoming :) it was my first time there. The singapore lo mein and szechaun chicken was delicious.

Our go-to weeknight takeout, best in KW!

When you call the restaurant, the lady on the phone is so nice. Even when you go pick up your food, you can feel the love, respect and appreciation from her. The atmosphere is welcoming and I will keep going back.

Best Chinese food, hands down. This is my absolute number one first choice. Huge bonus is they have the absolute best customer service that I have EVER experienced. Thank you so much Mei King! Best food, best service. Done to perfection for many many years!!! Dietary restrictions: Loads of parking. Convenient location. Im a vegetarian and this is my favourite place to eat. Mei King all the way!!! Parking: Parking is so easy and so convenient. This place is booming and you can still find parking, big lot. in

Their food is always excellent.

This is my go-to place for take out or delivery. Its such a favourite that I was surprised that I hadnt reviewed them yet... only to realize I had never finished what I was writing. Oops. To be fair, its the kind of place that everyone seems to know already. A neighbourhood staple. The staff are friendly, the food is exactly what you want in take out Chinese, and it is always faster than I expect. The nieghbourhood is better for having Mei King in it.

Ordered orange chicken with noodles, mixed veg and Mongolian beef. Within two hours of eating it I had the absolute worst food poisoning I ve ever had. Will never eat here again lol

We picked this restaurant randomly on the way from the train station to the airport. The place itself looked a bit basic, but the food was yummy, service exceptionally fast, and the hosts were very hospitable. For its price category, a very good eatery. Highly recommend!

Had takeout (delivery), it was very bad. One of the meals was not what we ordered, Pad Thai tasted like ketchup, Sechuan was very dry with almost no vegetables. Not recommended.

This is just cuz I cant rate lower. Ordered a dish on Doordash. Said nothing about shrimp. Came loaded with shrimp. Was told Im wrong. Will never order again.

Wasn t awful, wasn t great. Ordered on Uber eats it came hot, cannot complain about that but the food itself was very bland, almost tasted like something I would have got from sobeys. Got sesame chicken, general chicken and vegetable lo mein. The lo mein was excellent but the rest very boring and bland. Egg roll was tiny and just tasted like grease , not much in it.

Weve ordered our Christmas Eve dinner from Mei King for the past 6 years. Never had a problem until this year, when they forgot our chicken fried rice. They remedied the problem quickly and professionally. Food always tastes great, with amazing value for the money!

Great Service, Food was ready much faster than anticipated. They did everything possible to make sure our food was hot! Overall great experience!

Great food, great people! I def recommend this place if you re feeling like eating at a good quality Chinese food restaurant! I wasn t expecting Kitchener to have this place, but thankfully they do! Give it a shot Vegetarian options: Really good veggie options! Parking: If you order take out, you will have NO problem with parking

Great food, nice place and i loved the customer service

Excellent dishes, friendly staff, food was delicious and great value

Excellent place for takeout. Fair portion sizes, especially for a big family. Food is always made fresh.

I ve been a customer for over 20 years and the last couple times my food has been disappointing. Chicken balls are basically fried dough with a tiny piece of chicken, the egg rolls are 1/3 of the size they used to be but cost triple. I won t be ordering anymore.

Its good, standard Chinese food for take out. Hot and fresh with a lot of items to choose from on the menu. General Taos Tofu and the veggie fried rice are my fave. Vegetarian options: Tofu and vegetable dishes available.

Reasonable prices and quick service. Sweet Order taker spoke with my granddaughter explaining options.

Late delivery. Stomach upset after eating the food

***Save your Money*** Even though it was a storm and Christmas Eve, I knew I had to wait at least a 1.5 hours. NEVER EXPECTED 3.5 hours. The spicy beef only had 3 chunks of beef. The seafood lo mein had 3 scallops, 5 shrimp and 2 pieces of imitation crab. My order was $80!!!!!!!!! I understand inflation, don t get me wrong. My business is hurting as well!! I support local businesses because times are tough! 4 Uber drivers lost out on money for waiting 30 mins each! ON CHRISTMAS where they make the most money!!! If you look at the pictures below. They will support my case!!! I have also contacted Uber!!!! Shameful that I need to find a new Chinese restaurant after 3 years of being a loyal customer!!

My family ordered from Mei King on Boxing Day and it was excellent! The Singapore noodles were a favourite of mine for sure. We had a very large order and the person taking the order over the phone was great. Quick delivery too. We order Chinese food every year on Boxing Day, and we will remember this for next year.

Food is super good, the service is amazing, I wish the dine in was open though

Best Chinese food in K/W

Had ordered for the group and the ginger beef and broccoli beef was about 90 percent veggies which was disappointing

No ss sauce for the Ss chicken balls, no plum sauce, no soya sauce and no fortune cookies. Im not sure if it was just a slow period with slower turnover but these were the toughest,chewiest, no sauce chicken balls ive ever eaten here. So disappointed.

We ordered take out, dinner for 5, it was great! Was ready very quick and the food was excellent. Very happy with the quality of the food and the taste.

Been coming back to this place for years. Always great food!

The spring rolls were horrible. Had an awful taste. The rest of the food was alright. The general Tao chicken was incredibly dry. Nothing special unfortunately. But good sized portions and the poutine was really good.

General Tso tofu and orange chicken are the best ever!

Rice was cold and very dry. Chicken balls were 95 percent dough. I couldnt believe how little chicken was inside. Very disappointing.

Great food, takeout is fast, and try the Hong Kong chicken for sweet and sour chicken without so much dough.

I have been delivering for Uber for over a year from this establishment and I can tell you they are top notch customer service! Amazing to their customers just from an outside point of view.

Food is delicious, never disappointed with the food from here. The gravy is amazing. Service is always good too best Chinese food around!

Worst food I ever tasted. I threw it in the garbage

It was my first time going here to order takeout. It was an amazing first experience as I wasnt sure what I was wanting and they took the time to explain their combos while being fairly busy and keeping the flow consistent. For how busy they are, they sure know how to maintain good flow to ensure orders are going out on time. Short waiting time too for ordering there and waiting less than 10 minutes. The food was amazing as well. Everything I expected and better! I will be returning for more Chinese food in the future!

my partner believes that this is the best chinese food he has ever had in the Kitchener Waterloo region.

A serviceable Canadian Chinese restaurant. I ordered the dinner for 4 which contained chicken balls, chicken fried rice, almond chicken, chicken chow-mein, garlic ribs, and spring rolls. The portions were good and the food was all okay. There was nothing that was disagreeable but also nothing that really wowed me or made me excited.

Hot and fresh! Customer service is beyond amazing. My fave place in the region.

Good portion and price, very delicious.

The dinner for two arrived cold. It was garbage. Immediately in the washroom. Good if you want to blow out your collan.

My go to place. Portion size and price is great and food is very tasty. Only complaint is sometimes beef dishes have little meat and bit more breading but still very tasty.

Chop suey is either gooey clumped up together or flat that when you open it the container is half full. Chicken balls were very dense with a small piece of barely noticeable chicken inside. Rice was meh, kinda hard but the overall meal was cold so might have been better when hot. Wouldnt know though cause it was cold. Might have been a bad night but too many bad nights are making me look elsewhere. Wont be returning.

Best food

Favorite Asian restaurant Ive found in the area. Food is always hot and delicious! Keep up the good work.

Ive had takeout from here many times (never dined in) and it always hits the spot! Especially on Friday evening after a busy week. The food is always delicious and the portions are very generous. The food in the picture made three meals for my husband and I. The staff are great too; always pleasant to deal with and my order is always correct.

Amazing staff and food. Their Tso is not as thick as other Tso but very good chicken pieces and flavor.

This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant since I was a tiny little boy

Got food poisoning after ordering.

will chow mein was good, chicken balls 90% dough little piece of chicken. sweet & sour pork was battered but most were empty, no pork if so was the size of pea. Cantonese chow mein only had 1/4 cup of noodles lemon lemon chicken was ok its impossible to find good Chinese food in KW any more. I guess Mandarin is still number 1 place to eat. I would post pics but dont have option

My family and I just had the dinner for 2A and we are very pleased. The place looks very unassuming but that is because the true effort is put into the food. This is traditional Canadian Chinese food done right. My son and his dad loved the chicken chop suey and they had the best sweet and sour chicken balls I ve ever had. Friendly staff who take pride in a clean restaurant and good food. Will be back next time we want Chinese food! Parking: Lots of available parking behind restaurant

Really great chicken balls, they are large and almost like a savoury donut. I highly recommend getting them with sauce on the side, and enjoy them plain or dip them in sweet and sour.

Most of the food was incredibly bland; none of the dishes had any wok hay, and pretty much everything suffered from a severe lack of seasoning The mapo tofu was the biggest offender, and probably the worst mapo Ive ever had - no heat, salt, numbing from peppercorns, or black bean flavour at all Prices were pretty good (although the ginger beef was 90% onions and peppers), and the chicken wings were actually fantastic, so it saves it from a 1 star, but I wouldnt order from here again

Food and service was great

We ordered lo mein with jumbo shrimp appetizers and it was so fast and the woman at the front was so kind and helpful she fixed up our order because she knew we accidentally ordered the wrong thing. I ve had some terrible Chinese takeout before but this was delicious and the shrimp was cooked just right and wasn t chewy. Will definitely be coming back, definitely recommend!

10/10 Chinese food. This will be our new go to for Chinese cravings. Food was tasty and packed full. Hostess was incredibly helpful as well!

Had the special house rice and it was pretty good and the serving size was enough for two. However, although the sauce on the wings were good they were fried a little dry.

Love the orange chicken and egg rolls, Ive only ever ordered on uber eats but never had a bad experience. I accidentally ordered the general tso chicken instead of the orange chicken once and it was also very good

I m a regular customer to Mei King. On Friday after I placed my order, they sent me a notification that they charged me an extra adjustment fee of $4.94 and 0.51 cents for an adjustment fee tax but didn t state what the charge was for. I also did not receive the correct order. I ordered bean sprouts with chicken and I received chowmein with chicken. They refused to correct the order or issue any credits back to me. It s safe to say I will not be using this restaurant for further meals.

The customer service was great and very polite and conversational even at 9pm! The food was quick and tasted pretty good! Definitely going again.

Waste of money

I have traveled to 125 countries, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore and I really love Chinese food. We ordered szechuan shrimp, szechuan beef, cashew chicken and egg rolls through Uber Eats. I have never eaten anything as tasteless and as bland. Also, the shrimp was small and the pieces of chicken and beef were scarce and had no taste. A big disappointment as we were celebrating our daughters newly acquired drivers license. We will not be ordering again from this place.

Good food and service

Love love love their food! I always get their breaded shrimp, chicken balls, chicken fried rice and spring rolls! The shrimp breading isn t heavy at all which is why I always pick that! Great prices for the amount of food you get as well!!

Very polite and friendly staff. The food was delicious.

Really good food, our server was super friendly. Not a great atmosphere for dining in, but great for take out.

The tastiest and friendliest chinese cuisine! The food is incredible, taste and texture. The service is very friendly and kind. The prices are surprisingly reasonable too! This is a hidden gem of KW you need to try.

Very affordable and prompt takeout Chinese food. My food is almost always ready for pickup in under 15 minutes. Ive had far better Chinese food in town, but I am still a very happy customer of Mei King.

We ordered from here for the first time tonight and we were more than impressed. The food was hot and fresh, and it taste like good old fashioned Chinese food that everyone loves. We will definitely be ordering from here again.

Was hoping for a good experience, but the food was flavorless and bad quality*shrimp was dirty*chicken was very chewy*. Sad I had to throw out my leftovers Usually they are a hit. Will be onto the next place to find good classic Chinese food restaurant. PLUS when I picked up my order.. the boy in the back was a bit rude to the cashier... and I dont like that.

Absolutely amazing! The owner is very accommodating with requests (extra veggies etc). We had been having Mei King on door dash for the past 2 years (25+ orders) but only recently went in person. They truly exude kindness every step of the way:). This is my go to and staple:) highly recommend Vegetarian options: Wonderful with request! General Tao Tofu is awesome (recommend a rice dish alongside)

Standard cheap Asian food, pretty much you get what you expect!

Unprofessional staff. They dont know how to behave

We have been customers of Mei King for many years but that ends today.I ordered takeout #5 Sweet and Sour Spareribs. The spare ribs were mostly tiny pieces of fried fat and bone with a few specks of meat. I was compelled to call the restaurant to tell them how disappointed I was as I expected there to actually be meat on the bones. I was told Thats how we make our spare ribs, we fry them. I questioned the fact that there wasnt much if any meat to be found in the fried fat and bones that they call Spareribs. After a few minutes of discussing ribs and meat, I asked for a refund. I was told they wouldnt do that but would give me 10% off of my next order. I said I wont be coming back. When I opened the fortune cookie and read the fortune ... I had to chuckle, how ironic.

Awful

Great Cantonese Lo Mien

Really love this place! Extremely friendly stuff, tasty food and very cozy atmosphere !

Great food, very nice staff. Portions are huge and reasonably priced, $50 for two nights of food with what my fiancé and I order. Very consistent, have never had a bad experience.

Kid-friendliness: Waitress Mia Food

Been around forever... still a decent place to get your Chinese food fix.

Food was good, but I was not impressed with the atmosphere

I never bin so disappointed the lady gave us are food on paper plates and plastic forks

Food was not fresh! The egg rolls and fried rice was over cooked:/

Super friendly staff - I messed up my order online and they called and fixed it for me free of charge. Super thoughtful. Food was great, good flavours and generous portions!

My go to place! Service is always delightful. They really do go above and beyond. Food is always hot and fresh. Great portions.

Without question it s my go-to, for a greasy spoon style Canadian-Chinese take-a-way.

Amazing Staff & Food

Highly recommend Mei King, food is good, prices are great, and the service is phenomenal. Tonight I went in to pay and handed them cash, I thought I had more but didnt so paid the rest on debit, and when I left with my food the lady followed me out to say that two $20 bills had stuck together and ran out of the restaurant to give me one back. Just for that good service I will be a customer so life!

I always enjoy the food, the portions are great the service is amazing. Will always be my go to

Very impressed with the customer service the lady that was helping us was so patient and polite.. food was amazing and made with love will definitely come back again and tell all my friends

Fantastic Chinese food is always fresh and tasty!!

Came here tonight with my two friends after our badminton session. Honestly, made our day eating here today! The food hit right on the spot and its reasonably price. The lady who owns the place is super nice and gave us random goodies to take home. The way she welcomed us and served us made us felt cared for. Its Thanksgiving as Im writing this and I felt so blessed and grateful stopping here tonight. I could feel that the locals/regulars who come here truly feel the warmth of this place - food wise and people wise.

Lovely local business! The owner was so nice to me and my friends. Foods were really good for the price. We had a wonderful time dining in and will come back for more.

Great food and service, love it!

Always a go-to when were in KW. Food is always ready when you get there within 20 mins. We get takeout most times.

So kind people

I ve been a customer for several years and they never disappoint! Food is amazing always hits the spot, and service is great! 100% recommend!

Great food great prices and great service.

Vegetarian options: Should have ordered vegetarian. Chicken and broccoli, and a spring roll. All I could smell and taste was garlic. So turned off. Mei King is not like I remember it! Food

the food was amazing and the daughters customer service was amazing

the food was so good ! the service is immaculate. i really like the older daughter

Ive eaten here several times (both takeout and delivery) and the food is always fresh and flavourful! This family run business always has friendly service, which makes me want to return again and again :)

There are only a couple of tables, near the front entrance. The back of the dining room is dark. No washroom, and no plans to add one. Dishes are served in takeout containers, on paper plates instead of china. For so many years, Mei King was a welcoming place to visit, with a reliably tasty Chinese-Canadian menu. Now it would be better as a takeout/food delivery business, only.

Been going to mei King for over 40 years from New hamburg went there tonight 6.45 3 of us they only had 4 tables 1 had to be cleaned for us to sit will be about 5 minutes I said no problem I will go to the washroom to wash my hands as I am a truck driver my wife and daughter picked me up she said we dont have any washrooms for you to use so I raised my voice and said lets go we are leaving we left we ate at Camerons Chinese restraunt was a really good place dont go to mei King and expect to use the washrooms very very very disappointed will never go back and I am telling 11 of my freinds stephen smallpiece from New hamburg

Had supper here a couple times, friendly server gave us good advice and great service and even gave us a cool holiday calendar.

Stopped in for lunch with my grandsons before Christmas. Had a lovely visit with Mia and lunch was fantastic! Well certainly be back! Everything we ordered was...FANTASTIC!

Love it everytime

The rice is old and the treatment is bad

The staff treat Uber eats and Doordash drivers like they are slave; shouting at them and never let them use washroom. If you hate vulnerable, disadvantaged, and poor people this restaurant fits you.

Very Delicious Chinese Food. Small dining room. I enjoyed my meal. Public Washrooms are not available. Could not order Bubbling Ice Tea because the ice machine was broken down. The waitress that served me and my buddy was nice. Vegetarian options: You can order vegetables. Parking: Parking Lot is small.

Food was great and service so very friendly

Owner is super friendly, great service and great food. Definitely will visit again.

Staff was super helpful when I visited!

WORST! We ordered chicken curry and all we got was a bowl full of huge chunks or green capsicum and onions and some portion of chicken. There was absolutely no curry! I called and wanted to check with the guys who were serving and they suddenly decided that they cannot understand Or speak English..I will give 2 stars for the veg fried rice

I have to say I m quite disappointed. Me and my family have been ordering from this place for years. I ordered combination plate number five and my bean sprouts tasted like a whole thing of oil was put all over them that s all I could taste, straight oil. On top of it, the red container of red sweet and sour sauce was jelly. I couldn t dip my sweet and sour ribs in the sauce because of how jello-y it was. So disappointed.

Just ordered soup, egg rolls, and spring rolls. All were okay. Service was fast. Atmosphere was a bit dodgy with only two usable tables.
