Mei Sum

Enjoyed their soy milk. Egg tarts seemed under cooked. The shell was a bit chewy. Might be because they were just finishing up as I arrived.

The BEST MOCHI i have ever had. So good. Well worth going just for desert. I love the food

Not my choice for banh mi. The one i had tasted funky in a bad way. It was the hottest day of the year for 2024 also. They have plenty of food options and have been an institution in the area forever. Service was real nice however.

I love going to this spot for a quick bite. The best zongzi in town (they're my grandfather's favorite!), the pastries are fresh, my only complaint is no one told me they serve banh mi until today.The sandwich isn't the most packed, but the bread is toasted to perfection, the ingredients are fresh and tasty, and altogether it's pretty filling even though it's on the smaller sideNaihuangbao (custard buns) are a personal favorite of mine and these don't disappointThey don't always have the biggest selection, but everything here is worth a try. I buy these zongzi by the dozen and they freeze really well (my family literally requests them when I go home). I'm not sure if they like, but you can always ask for things to be heated up a bit before you eat. This place doesn't look like much but it's a hit!

Mei sum bakery is a great place to stop by for a quick bite! They've got all sorts of Chinese pastries, buns and dimsum. From congee to banh mi to rice noodle rolls. All the food is super fresh, and they provide sauces in the to go boxes, which I think is a huge plus! The food is quite cheap and the service is great! You can't go wrong with anything you order. I have to say, it's a bit hard to find the restaurant. I've walked by many times, but haven't noticed it. Parking also may be difficult since it's located in the heart of Boston's Chinatown. Overall rating: 9/10

The banh mi was excellent! Really hit the spot. While it wasn't stuffed with filling, I don't know that banh mi are meant to be? It had a good combination of meats and a nice toasted bread.However, I wasn't as impressed with the pastries. The egg tart had a very meh shell. I didn't think the black bean bing shell was flaky enough or the filling especially tasty. The fried sweet taro bread was decent though.I get the impression that this is a hit or miss kind of bakery and so familiarity with the best items might help.

Bought some lemon cake from MeiSum bakery . Got home realized lemon cake has mold on it and took pics . My mom went to the bakery today and ask employee how long they leave bakery around . She said they leave bakery for about 1 week . So my mom ask to speak to a manager . Manager was cocky said should've bought it back .. no sorry no refund . Will be filing a complain with Boston department of health .. avoid going to this spot ..

Been coming here for years and the old lady always ask how I'm doing and miss seeing me . They have the best bao with pork , sausage and eggs inside . I usually ordered 10 to go sometimes. Their congee is also good with a thousand years egg inside , scallions and pepper . Good for the morning breakfast and hangover . They have some dim sum items also. Good breakfast to go here and can't go wrong. The best in Chinatown for bao.

I've been here to grab and go some dim sum before, such as haw gao, siu mai and the fried shrimp roll.It's not great, the siu mai is really a meat patty made as filling, and doesn't taste like a siu mai at all. The roll is super oily and I can't even remember the haw gao. And now the bahn mi is the terrible. I've never gotten such a skimpy Vietnamese sub. It's so sad. Now I knowNEVER to come here again. As I was waiting for my sub, I saw in the display case a moldy Swiss roll. Awful!!!

I find Asian bakeries yumEspecially the stuff at Mei SumSo awesome and cheapBut their Banh Mi will keepAdding fat and flab straight to your bumBarbie just went here without me, and bought a ton of crap, I hope she saves Mei Sum.This Bakery has really good warm Banh Mi that she heats up in the microwave for you when you order it. It's pretty spicy with tons of cilantro and jalapeno. The meat on it is kind of like spam pork and I wasn't crazy about it and for that reason I wouldn't get this sandwich again but maybe they have a different type.I'm definitely a big fan. They have excellent wife cakes and yummy egg custard Tarts as well.The woman was super nice. You should have seen how adorable she was about taking my picture. She was telling other customers how about the experience of taking my picture and she even told me that I look very attractive.How can I not give 5 stars for all that.
