Cuisine and Menu

Pros:

• "The culinary journey at Mei Mei Mayfair was a feast for both the eyes and taste buds."
• "Excellent. The Peking duck is a huge portion and is enough for two or three. Its really tasty."
• "As Vegan I was very happy to be able to find many tasty options in this restaurant for dinner!"
• "The standout dishes were the black pork, the king crab and lamb dumplings."

Cons:

• "Sadly the Peking duck is not up to the mark. The duck looks good visually but sadly very oily."
• "The Xiao Long Jewels - don’t bother getting these, they are pretty but the flavor is just ok."
• "Not my favourite Chinese food. I wouldn’t say that their food was authentic, it is definitely made to cater for the local market but with a very high price point."
• "The worst dining experience ever! The food was so salty it could not be eaten."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Yes it’s pricey but I think it’s worth it."
• "In keeping with the location, the restaurant is on the pricier side. But the overall dining experience was definitely worth it!"
• "Great food, the Chef is from Singapore and the quality of food is superb."

Cons:

• "Drinks and aperitifs are a RIP OFF! A brick of ice in a half pint sized glass is a tasteless experience!"
• "It’s not too bad but it is expensive. I mean, you are dining at an upscale restaurant in Mayfair."
• "Overpriced at half the price and not good enough overall. Shortcomings drawn to attention of waiter (who agreed) but no deduction when bill presented."
• "The food is pretty standard Chinese fare with a few presentational twists which add significantly to the price (you'll be lucky to leave without paying £90 a head)."
