Mei's has pretty solid pan-Asian food. My friend and I split a General Tso's mock chicken and also a mock beef with mixed vegetables. I thought the mock beef was kind of generic and lacked zing; also I didn't like the mock beef, which was that chewy, stringy-variety that I've seen at other places like Wild Ginger in NYC and Yummy Yummy in Chicago.

However, the mock chicken was amazing: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The textures were pretty remarkable, though make sure to eat it fresh and quickly, as the longer the dish sits out, the less crispy it stays. Also, I think the mock chicken might be cooked like this only for the General Tso's dish, and not necessarily others.

Kudos to Mei's for offering brown rice, too!

The restaurant itself is large, classy and has a full-bar. The service was friendly and prompt and I like that they give discounts to George Mason students, which saved us 10% on the total bill.
