About This Spot

Stepping into Mee Noodle Shop & Grill feels like slipping into a familiar neighborhood retreat where the pace softens and the chatter hums pleasantly in the background. Nestled on a lively stretch of 1st Avenue, this modest yet enduring spot embraces a simple warmth that’s rare in a city known for its bustle. The atmosphere moves at a steady, unhurried rhythm, making it an inviting pause whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a comforting meal after a long day.

This is the kind of place where the familiar scents of caramelized roast meats and freshly brewed oolong tea mingle effortlessly, drawing you closer to a cabinet of steaming bowls and sizzling plates. It’s clear that Mee Noodle isn’t chasing trends — instead, it quietly cherishes its role as a dependable cornerstone for locals who appreciate straightforward, nourishing food. The moment you arrive, there’s a sense of continuity, a connection to decades of shared meals and conversation that have quietly shaped the neighborhood.

The menu mirrors this unpretentious spirit, filled with dishes that feel like they’ve been lovingly handed down from one generation to the next. Whether it’s crispy chicken coated in sesame seed sauce, a bowl brimming with tender pork noodles, or the gentle spice that hints at home-style cooking, each plate seems designed to comfort without fuss. There’s an approachable charm in the way the flavors unfold — nothing forceful, just familiar tastes that remind you of proper care in the kitchen.

Beyond the food, Mee Noodle Shop & Grill draws a diverse mix of visitors, from devoted regulars who find in it a thread of their own stories, to newcomers discovering a welcoming refuge amidst the city’s energy. The hum of casual conversations, punctuated by the clink of bowls and the occasional laughter, creates a quietly vibrant mosaic of communal life. It’s in these simple, human moments that Mee Noodle feels most alive — a place where connection and comfort stretch across the table, inviting you to pause, savor, and belong.

I have been coming to this restaurant since they opened over 30 years ago. They are still here because the food is great and for me, it’s just a small reminder of my childhood when I spent the few dollars in my pocket on lunch specials here regularly. There are a lot of options in the neighborhood but these are the types of small businesses that keep community alive. No doubt they are a top chinese food restaurant in the area. Thank you Mee staff!

Food is delicious and the owner is very nice! A very affordable places to dine in the union square area. You also get free fortune cookies! They also have lunch specials and it’s not crowded inside.

Don’t let the transplants ruin this long standing gem!! Everything was delicious and I love the complimentary hot tea.

I’m a true regular to this place! 80% of the time, I’m exhausted from work and pick up food from mee noodles. 20% of the time, I dine in. It never disappoints!! An authentic local joint (that also have Americanized food if you are into it). But you know a place is authentic when they have white pepper on the table. You can’t have southern Chinese food without some good white pepper! My go to dish is always soup noodle with roasted duck and I get it with the wide rice noodles. So yummy! And it has vegetables in it for some health value. I speak Chinese with the workers here and they are all so lovely. I love my people . Yummy food and kind souls. And did I mention… very affordable prices? I hope that gentrification will never hit this place.
