The owner of Mei Wah, Larry La, has an incredible personal story too. Born in Vietnam to Chinese parents, he fled with his family by boat and lived in a refugee camp in Malaysia for over a year, eventually landing in a small town in Tennessee - the only family of color in town. He wrote a memoir about his experience called Square Moon. He’s an amazing guy to have a chat with - definitely check out the Chevy Chase location and say hello! Also, we had our rehearsal dinner at the DC location shortly before it closed. Love this place!!

It was the best and at that age felt elevated but expensive for a 21 year old

I remember when Meiwah took over for City Lights and Yenching Palace as the places to get Chinese. It was a time…

The crown belongs to Panda Gourmet in NE. Downtown DC I guess Sichuan Pavilion, though I haven’t been in ages.

Meiwah was very good the one time I had it in this location. But my go-to even though it’s not the same vibe (but same quality) is City Lights. They’re killing it now for Chinese take out. Delicious

Went on a date with my now husband at Meiwah. I ordered some volcano drink only bc it would be lit on fire when being served. I did not realize it was a drink for like 4 people. Huge bowl w a volcano in the middle that was lit. I was hammered 😂❤️
