I've never had the scallion pancakes at Mee, but if you're looking for some top notch SP, hit up Excellent Dumpling House on Lafayette just south of Canal. Never had the dumplings but used to order the pancakes to go on a fairly regular basis. A bit greasy, but banging. FG what up?

Breast meat is an unacceptable compromise. It should be thighs (I elaborated on this in somewhere in your vast archives). I know that somewhere in Chinatown, the real Tso's deal, gristle-free and all luscious thigh meat, exists. It just needs to be discovered. But then, if we find out and tell your readership, then everyone will go there, and it's ruined. The immortal (although not yet even dead) Yogi Berra on why he no longer went to a popular St. Louis restaurant: "Nobody goes there no more; it's too crowded!"

With a menu as large as Mee's, there's no doubt some food's good while others just bomb. What else do you recommend besides the curry soup and the susage? what kind of noodles do you get when you order there? Dan,
Thanks cuz.

Goulet,
Interesting. With a menu as large as Mee’s, there’s no doubt some food’s good while others just bomb. What else do you recommend besides the curry soup and the susage? what kind of noodles do you get when you order there?

Mee Noodle has some excellent soups, and some terrible ones, and they don't do Americanized Chinese very well. But their Curry Noodle Soup is awesome and is the #1 reason I go there. It's $7, it's enormous, and it's a delicious coconut milk curry broth with just the right amount of spice and a ton of flavor. Steamed Chinese sausage is also really tasty there...

Nothing was good except the scallion pancakes. I'd consider going back for those alone and to try something else but more because the prices are so good and it would be great to find something worth eating here. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to make it here though. <strong>Phil,</strong> You nailed it, Mee Noodle Shop wasn't great. It's funny you ask about Yummy House, my roommates both endorse it as a great eat in Chinese place. What do you recommend there? Master,
