" Incredible value! May Wah totally exceeded my expectations. The pork chop was juicy, and they give you a hearty amount of rice. It's not a fancy place, but for authentic tasty food, it can't be beaten. The fast service is just the cherry on top! Perfect for when you want something comforting and quick on a budget. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, let me tell you about May Wah. This is the quintessential fast food spot that serves a great representation of Taiwanese cuisine—without the fuss. I got the pork chop over rice with extra gravy and a side of pickles. It was rich and full of flavor; the pork was tender, and the gravy added a nice touch. My dining experience wasn't fancy but that was fine with me; I was looking for comfort food and left satisfied. I will definitely become a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" May Wah Fast Food has become my go-to lunch spot. Their chicken leg over rice is fantastic and has a great flavor! I appreciate the speedy service as well. It's perfect for those days when you're in a rush and need something filling and delicious. The simplicity of the dining environment is comforting rather than off-putting for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love May Wah! It’s my favorite fast food joint. The fried pork chop over rice is amazing, and the pricing is unmatched in the city. Although the dining area isn't the fanciest, I appreciate how fast the food comes out. If you're in Chinatown, definitely swing by for a lunch that won't break the bank. " (*Curated Review*)

" May Wah delivers high quality at rock-bottom prices! Order the fried chicken leg over rice and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The skin is perfectly crispy and the meat is juicy. It's amazing how they can maintain such a price point in the heart of Chinatown. Service is quick, but be prepared for a no-frills experience. I always leave more than satisfied!

" This place has been a staple of my lunch in Chinatown. Always consistent with their quality and at unbeatable prices! The pork chop is consistently juicy, and adding an egg is a must! While it doesn't have the ambiance of a fine dining restaurant, it more than makes up for it in flavor and efficiency. Just a great spot for a no-fuss meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is cheap and fast, but the taste leaves something to be desired. The fried chicken was okay but definitely not my favorite. If you go, stick to the pork chop, as I've heard that's what they're known for. The fast pace and limited options may not be for everyone, but it's suitable for a quick lunch on the go.
