The Take
Mei Wei is seed-oil Chinese takeout with marketing excuses about fresh produce. Slop Score 76.
Default menu pushes fried apps, lo mein, and sugary sauces while steamed options hide if you hunt for them. Multiple locations deliver the usual inconsistency.
The Verdict
Stick to the based order or walk away. Mei Wei is mid American-Chinese takeout that leans slop unless you force the steamed route.
Slop Score 76.
