The story
Mei Mei began as a restaurant in Boston that was widely profiled for its community-centered approach and locally sourced ingredients. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the business underwent a significant transformation, closing the original restaurant and relaunching around a dumpling factory model, cooking classes (public and private), wholesale distribution, catering, and a smaller cafe format. The company now operates under the Mei Mei Dumplings brand, emphasizing community, DEI programming, and pasture-raised, Northeast-sourced ingredients.
