Probably deserves a 3.5 star rating.
A wonderful beef soup smell greeted us when we entered the restaurant. I ordered a beef and tendon noodle soup. It did not disappoint - the beef and tendon were wonderfully tender and the noodles were done al dente. We had two appetizers (pig ears and bamboo shoots) but noticed that most of the other tables were ordering the stinky tofu. Maybe next time...
Despite the yummy taste, I had to dock off points for the loads of MSG used in the broth. Both my partner and I got that dry-mouthed sensation after eating at Mei Nung. Not pleasant, and while I understand the uses of MSG, I personally don't prefer it in my food.
Service was fast and curt, but not unpleasant. Would go back again, but would arm myself with watermelon juice afterwards to quench the MSG-induced thirst.
