Mein St. is one of Little Italy's little hidden food gems hiding away in that food hall. Everything there is pretty good, but the service and consistency of the menu keeps me coming back. Charles (the head cook) is super polite and really puts care into his meals. I've eaten a fair portion of the ramen, rice dishes, and highly recommend their salt and pepper wings if you enjoy a little fried chicken every now and then. It's an experience there.My favorite of the ramens is the Mein St (in terms of number of times I've ordered it), but the Seafood ramen is honestly DELICIOUS and I plan to order it more often in the future. All of the rice dishes are pretty great, and you can get everything a little spicier if that's what you enjoy. Again, try the salt and pepper wings, people.

My husband (who is not vegan) loves their ramen, so I decided to try their vegan alternatives. Since I switched to being vegan, I was never able to eat orange chicken again (which I used to love) so I decided to give it a try (the chicken was replaced by tofu). I was pleasantly surprised as this dish was even better than I remembered. The tofu was really well prepared, and the dish arrived very quickly (and it was very warm). It makes me happy when restaurants make an effort to come up with alternatives for their vegan clients. I will definitely be coming back for more!

I loved it! The beef noodle soup is very authentic Taiwanese style.

Favorite place to get kimchi fried rice

Just ordered their orange chicken and for the price, this is one of the worst meals ever. No flavor at all Just fat and bread for $23 before tip, its soo overpriced for no quality. First and Last time!

Food is ok but worse bobba I’ve tried in my life. I’ve had canned bobba better than theirs

AMAZING WINGS AND POKI BOWLS

I’m pretty happy with my Tofu Chow Mein. I’m a real Chinese, and I don’t expect to eat authentic Chinese food in Little Italy Food Hall, as long as it tastes good, I’ll consider it a good food. And this Chow Mein did it pretty good. They put a lot of tofu in the dish which is very nice. The noodles are udon noodles. The sauce is quite a lot, but it’s nice for me, as I have a heave taste. Anyways, if you search for a good American style Chinese food, here is not a bad choice.

I think the bad reviews here might be from a while ago. The ramen is great, the spring rolls are absurdly good. Prices reasonable, especially for the area.

Have the spicy miso ramen . Delicious and they are not shy with the pork either
