The answer is NO!

No there is no Chinese food in Merida worth trying.  There might be some Asian owned places selling 'tipo China' slop in town but it's all dumbed down and is catering to the very lowest tastebud on the food chain.  But there are a few options for other types of Asian Cuisine that are owned by Asians or at least people who have lived in Asia.

Younghee's Kitchen is owned by a Korean woman and it's only open on Saturdays.  It's in the same location as the slow food market Reforma (calle 72) & Colon.

Miyabi is owned by a Japanese woman and her Mexican husband.  It is the best sushi in town but another larger more comfortable place has opened in Colonia Mexico called Hamachi. Hamachi's owner was the partner of Miyabi in restaurants in Cancun.

Bistro Ave del Paraiso is a Thai Restaurant on Calle 66 x 49 & 53 (behind a tree) owned by a couple who lived in Thailand.  Casa Thai is owned by a Thai woman and her American husband.  They have a little take out location near Santa Lucia park on calle 62.  Their restaurant is pretty far out of centro.

There is a PF Chang's in Alta Brisa Mall if you are really desperate for "Chinese food"!
