" I've visited a lot of Chinese restaurants, but May Jen stands out due to its authenticity. The flavors are rich and remind me of meals I've had in China. I particularly loved their hot and sour soup and fried rice which tasted like they were made from scratch. The atmosphere is welcoming with a lovely décor that makes you feel at home. My family and I will keep coming back for more. Thank you for bringing genuine flavors to Buffalo! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience at May Jen was pretty mediocre, unfortunately. The food took too long to come out, and when it arrived, it felt underwhelming. My kung pao chicken lacked spice and flavor, unlike other places I've been to. The décor is nice, and it appears clean, but I feel they need to work on enhancing their flavors in the kitchen. We may give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with some friends recently and was very impressed! The wonton soup was flavorful and satisfying, and the egg rolls had the perfect filling-to-wrap ratio. The ambiance was nice, and the service prompt. I would say their prices aren't justifiable only by quality, which is the sole downside. I would highly recommend coming to experience this fantastic dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try May Jen after hearing good reviews. The food is pretty good overall, but I felt like it lacked that authentic punch. The General Tso chicken was crunchy but not as flavorful as I would have liked. The atmosphere is cozy, but the service could have been more attentive. I might go again but will try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to May Jen based on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately, my experience was pretty underwhelming. I found the service lacking, as my server seemed too busy to check on us. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, and while it tasted okay, it wasn't anything special. I expected more variety in their menu, especially for the price point. The ambiance is nice, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to May Jen, and it was quite a mix for me. While I enjoyed the ambiance and found the staff genial, my sesame chicken fell short of expectations. It lacked authentic flavor, feeling more like Americanized Chinese food instead. I will consider coming back to try other things but am not quite sure if it’s my top choice yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to May Jen after hearing many positive things, and I was not disappointed! The garlic chicken was savory, and I enjoyed the hot and sour soup immensely. Service was friendly, and the restaurant itself had a calm atmosphere that allowed for relaxation. That's not always easy to find in a restaurant! Would recommend this place hands down.
