" Had a great experience at May Jen! The environment was warm and inviting, and the food was clearly prepared with fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the hot and sour soup which had the perfect amount of spice. The service was friendly but could use a bit of pacing. Overall one of the best Chinese restaurants in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a frequent diner at May Jen, and I was thrilled to see them reopen after their renovation. The ambiance is lovely, and they improved service quite a bit. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food was stellar as always, especially the wonton soup. I tried the new dishes on the menu, and I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend giving it a shot if you haven't already! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried May Jen for the second time, and it was just as fantastic as my first visit! The General Tso's chicken was crispy without being overly breaded, which is often a problem at other places. The fried rice was flavorful, and my husband loved the hot and sour soup. Our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself is charming, and we appreciated the clean environment. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. We will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my last visit to May Jen. I ordered the sesame chicken, expecting something flavorful, yet it was rather bland and overcooked. The rice was mushy too, which didn't help. The service could have been better; our waiter seemed overwhelmed and was not attentive at all. Certainly not what I remembered from previous visits. I hope they can get back on track, as I really enjoyed their food before. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a wonderful dining experience at May Jen! We celebrated my wife's birthday there, and they went above and beyond to make it special. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in with us frequently. The food was delicious, with generous portions for the price. The sesame shrimp was a highlight for me. We will definitely return – it's our new favorite spot! " (*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.
