With a small group we dined at this restaurant recently. The food, ambience and service is exsceptional and compares favourably to restaurants in other parts of Australia. It is strongly recommended. More

The mee wah - what can I say. My family have been dining here for years. No need to see the menu any more - duck San choi bow for entree, roast duck, honey chicken, spicy squid, special fried rice for mains followed by the best bombe Alaska ever! Vincent and his crew have the service down pat. I hear... More

Not only is the food and wine to die for, the service makes you feel like you're the only ones in the restaurant. The waiters are attentive without being obtrusive and your glass never seems to be empty! More

We went to MeWah as all the other places were closed or full. We were surprised to find lovely Chinese food with good service at great value. Will try MeWah again when we go to Hobart. Definitely worth a visit! More

Very impressed with the food, the service and even the tea served is of very good quality which you could not easily find in restaurants providing similar cuisine. You can tell the owner runs the business with heart. The food is averagely priced; not expensive at all if compared with other Chinese restaurants in the locality. Will definitely visit again. More

I'd heard a lot about both Me Wah restaurants (the Launceston one being the original) and I wasn't disappointed when I finally decided to dine there. The service was exceptional - the waiters were attentive without being overbearing and the food was also fantastic. I think the price was reasonable for the quality of food. I'd definitely eat here again. More

Our family was celebrating an 18th Birthday recently and chose the MeWah for a quiet dinner. What a great choice it was. We were greated almost as soon as we entered, seated, and a lovely young man cme to offer suggestions for drinks...an excellent sales person! not just a wait person! We sampled chicken and corn soup, because that is... More

It is over rated and inappropriately over priced and prone to get quite stuffy. More

The restaurant provides high quality Chinese food at reasonable price. I have never thought of having such a nice meal when I am away from my home town. Excellent service. Try fry crab meat with egg white and truffle in lettuce basket. Remmeber to book, limited seats available. More

I ate here in March 2012. Decor is faux traditional chinese, the service is very good and the menu is broad enough for most people to find something of interest. The food is good but not great. This is not the Flower Drum under Gilbert Lau. It was a pleasant meal, served well, in a friendly and clean environment. I... More
