Cool. Crisp. Completely underrated. 🥒
Our Szechuan Cucumber Salad is the kind of side dish that quietly steals the show — fresh cucumber, chili oil, garlic, and a tangy dressing that makes it impossible to stop at one bite. The perfect start to any meal, or honestly a meal on its own.

Ever wonder why they're called potstickers? 🤔
Legend has it that a chef in China's Imperial Court walked away from a boiling batch of dumplings — only to return and find them stuck to the wok. He served them anyway. His guests loved the crispy bottoms. A happy accident that changed everything.
That golden tradition lives on at Mei's — pan-fried potstickers with a beautiful crispy dumpling lace that makes every bite better than the last. 🥢

Not all noodle soups are created equal. 🥢
