A small, budget-friendly Chinese noodle-and-dumpling spot that can feel like a bargain when it’s on form, but the all-you-can-eat promise, service speed, and consistency are too shaky to call it a safe bet.
The verdict
Chez Meilan delivers solid noodles and dumplings that draw crowds, but inconsistent execution, uneven portions, and greasy textures undermine reliability. Service attentiveness wavers during busy periods, and the functional space lacks destination appeal. Strong value keeps it competitive, yet quality swings and operational unevenness prevent a stronger showing.
One caveat: Some diners say the all-you-can-eat setup is more limited than advertised, especially for refills
