" A reliable spot for an affordable meal! I really like their chicken leg over rice, although I find the portions could be a tad bigger given how hungry I usually am. The service is speedy, which is a plus when you’re on a tight lunch break. The overall atmosphere could use some decor improvement, but for the food, I don't mind. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for a quick meal! Their spicy pork chop plate over rice is delicious, but be aware it can get quite crowded. I love the pickled veggies that accompany the dish—adds a nice crunch! It's not a fancy dining experience, but if you know what you want, you'll get it quickly and cheaply here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food at rock bottom prices! Definitely worth every penny; the pork chop is my favorite. The service is efficient, and even during the rush hours, you don't wait long. This is not a fancy place, but once you dig into the food, you won't care about the surroundings. Come hungry because the portions are generous! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for traditional Taiwanese food, be cautious. The food is decent but not as authentic as I hoped. I found the sauces a bit different from what I remember and felt they didn’t do justice to the actual dishes. Definitely quick and cheap, but maybe not for authentic Taiwanese cuisine lovers. Service was alright, nothing to rave about. " (*Curated Review*)

" May Wah is solid if you want a quick bite. I tried the chicken with rice, and while it was good, I was hoping for more depth in flavor. It’s certainly a decent meal for the price! Just be prepared for the no-frills experience—this isn’t a restaurant for a leisurely dinner. But if you want something quick, it's a good choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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. " (*Curated Review*)
