Mee Noodle Shop & Grill

My ONLY choice of Chinese restaurant delivery for over 8yrs. The food tastes authentic and you can get many items identical to what I've tried in Chinatown. I recomend anything & everything AND the most amazing part is I live in the east Village; they are on 32nd and the food is never longer than 20 minutes to arrive..sometimes faster. (I may be considered a priority customer at this point but still- this is why I am writing this review.) I LOVE THIS FOOD. If anyone doesnt like the atmosphere then order in. I bet they deliver to you:)

I have been going to Mee Noodle about twice a month, every month. The waiter's service is phenomenal, and the food is delicious. The waiters always know me and know what my order is (sometimes I actually try to change it up to surprise them). Pickup orders are the same - great service, courteous staff, and heavenly food. I order from this establishment a lot, and that's when things sometimes get out of hand. The food is VERY speedy - ten minutes after I place the order - but there's this one delivery man (it's not always him, but mostly) who always demands a huge tip. The first time he came to us, I gave him a three dollar tip - no rain, nothing to give him a hard time, and we live fairly close by - and he gave me a glare and stormed off without even saying "thank you". The next time he came to us at Halloween, he noticed my son's door decorations and started dancing around saying "Oh very nice! Very nice! Happy Holiday! Happy Holiday! Oh how lovely!" All the while trying to grab the $30 out of his hand, for a $21 meal. My son was trying to figure out a proper tip, and with all the racket this man was making, it was impossible! Finally, I said "Let him have it." The delivery man got away with a $9 tip, and my son was freaking out. So I would say that going there to eat - great idea. Ordering? Not so much.

Went here yesterday 8/14 for dinner with my family, party of 6. Against my better judgement too, hving been unimpressed the first time, but my aunt chose it, and it was her birthday. Simple low-budget decor was no problem, but the problems started with the abrupt service from the waiter. He actually walked away while I was still ordering. Serving of egg-rolls was practically dropped onto table, and my daughters pork ribs literally were. When one fell off the plate this guy laughed and walked away. A female (manager, I'm guessing) came over and served some other dishes and was more helpful and polite, but this jerk was back with the rest of our food rudely serving the remainder of our order. Food was god-awful, with my wife's Scallops and chicken dish having an almost sour, metallic taste to it, the sesame chicken (2 orders) completely dry despite the sauce, the aforementioned ribs mostly burnt, and on and on. The best part was when he brought my card and receipt back to sign, I extended my hand to take the tray and he drops it on the table instead. No wonder the place had only 1 other table occupied. Food was awful and the service was worse.

Love this place! After trying many mediocre Chinese restaurants in the area I was pleasantly surprised by this one! Dine in or take out! I am now only getting my Chinese from here!

I'm shocked to read some reviewers complaining about the service at this fantastic restaurant. I recently started going about once or twice a week for their delicious vegetarian chicken and broccoli, and the waiter already knows my order and is always very friendly. I also enjoy the atmosphere and often chill for a little while after I finish eating to read, and they never rush me out. Highly recommended!

Worst take and delivery service... Rude service to say the least, with sub quality food. There are a lot of better choices in the area.

As someone who ordered from this restaurant from the mid-1990's, I am surprised by the regular mistakes that have occurred and the negative attitude of this restaurant since it's allegedly come under new management. Numerous Cantonese combination soups have arrived dry when "in soup" was requested. Requests for extra broth on the side for an extra charge have been promised but not delivered, the Cantonese BBQ meats arrive with half or more of the juices at the bottom of the inner brown bag due to hastiness and the last Cantonese soup ordered had a very strange flavor in the broth that I've never had even in Cantonese places in Chinatown. Furthermore, I've been nickled and dimed on numerous occasions for simple extras such as just a couple of extra duck sauces or mustards. Each time I was told "only two or $.50 more for one extra". They can't be paying more than pennies for these packets.
