    Came to Mei Mei for a birthday dinner and everyone in my party enjoyed their food and drinks and the space was beautiful. The spicy beef bulgogi wasn’t spicy at all but still good and the drinks were a 10/10. When making the reservations there’s an option that ask what type of occasion and of course I put “Birthday” for the occasion and the acknowledged that it was my birthday, BUT it cost $50 for them to come out with a sign, sparklers, a shot or cake. Which doesn’t seem to make any sense to me because if your celebrating a birthday that should be automatic. Also, we were in the back near the fireplace and we were burning up. Overall good experience.

    Amazing experience. I will say the wait time was a bit long but we also had a big party but we were able to sit at the bar and have drinks which was super convenient. I enjoyed celebrating my birthday here. It was truly amazing and the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend

    This was my first time at Mei Mei. I was there celebrating my birthday with close friends. Food and drinks were good. There was also a photographer on site who took some great shots of me and my friends. I will say the prices are a bit much and they charge you for a sparkler and $3 person if you decide to bring in your own cake have them cut it and serve it. Overall the atmosphere was nice and I would go back again.
