Mei's Noodles - East Victoria Park

Having lived in Yunnan for two years where guoqiao mixian ("crossing the bridge noodles") was my typical start to the day, I was very much looking forward to trying Mei's Noodles which offers traditional Yunnan-style Chinese noodles.  Upon the first few mouthfuls of Mei's famous mixed noodles with pork, I was immediately taken back to Yunnan.  The combination of pickled vegetables, minced pork, roasted nut sauce and chilli (chilli is optional) really is a flavour like no other (in a good way).  The noodles are delicious.  Really, really delicious.   A helpful heads up, these noodles are spicy! I am a spice fiend but the medium heat is enough fro me! The servings are also very generous (I struggle to finish the regular size) and at $10 a serve, what is there not to love about this place?

Tucked away in a semi industrial area right near Swansea St markets, the place is pretty simple and likewise the menu is fairly simple too with just a handful of items, a good sign. Had mixed noodles with chicken, and beef noodle soup, the winner being the mixed noodles, but both were really good. Will definitely go back, and definitely for the mixed noodles. In the grand scheme of all the various Chinese cuisine restaurants that exist in Perth - Yunnan cuisine being not too common - for less than ten bucks this dish is quite unique and awesome value. Will be going back on a weekend to try their Over The Bridge noodles too, unsure what it is, but sounds like fun. Absolutely love that this place is in my neighbourhood, thanks Mei's!

My all time favourite side dish is chilli seaweed and lentil jelly, typical street food taste, actually all her cold dishes and noodles are all so tasty especially the little pot noodle, I love the soup base, not too heavy not too light, just about the right taste, MEi never disappointed me and my friend, always come to Mei's noodle when I run out of choices!

Don't let the exterior put you off, here in the industrial area nestled amongst the factories and warehouses is an absolute cracker of a place, serving authentic noodle dishes from Yunan province, China. I had the mixed noodles with chicken and was met with a huge serve of fresh noodles boasting a fantastic mix of tongue tingling sechuan pepper, pickled vegetables and firey chilli. The menu also has some wonderful looking side dishes and desserts! Service was kind, efficient and friendly. Do youself a favor and grab something for lunch or dinner, just remember it's cash only.

A recent visit was unpleasant , my friends and I went to this place a few times ago, but this time both of us have found the quality of the dishes have a noticeable decrease...too much salt was added in my mixed noodles and I'm pretty sure they have changed the rice noodle to another brand which I don't like it at all. Hope they can have a improvement on their food quality control.
