it isnt exactly the BEST chinese food that i have ever had, but it is far from the worst. as many have said before me, it seems as if this buisness thrives on deliveries... but i ordered take out, so i can not comment on the delivery times. i stopped by on my way home to pick up a quick lunch special. i ordered the spicy salt and peper pork rib and forked down the extra 80 cents to upgrade to chow mein. the pork rib was battered and deep fried... which was unexpected, and it turned out to be a touch oily. despite this minor flaw, it was perfectly seasoned, hot and delicious. the chow mein was veggie chow mein and the noodles were thicker than i am used to, but was far from the cheap generic stuff that you can find on every corner. i have walked passed the place a few times before the smells finally enticed me to come inside. my first impression of the food wasnt bad... but wasnt great, but it was good enough to get me to go back and check out some of their a la carte items. the dinning room is really small, only 3 or 4 tables MAX. i would recommend take out or delivery. the place isnt really flashy either, so it might be a turn down to some people in that nature. i would suggest to at least try it for yourself... it is worth that much at least

Foods are mediocre at best. Even for the quality, considering the money I paid, I can not stop thinking of over-priced food. Also, be very careful with their on-line ordering system. They do NOT honor their online ordering system. For example, delivery is supposed to be free over $14 order. It is NOT free at all. On the online ordering page, customers can select to tip on cash later, but they actually include delivery tip regardless of your selection. The price on the online check-out is different from the amount on the sale receipt. I only knew this after I cash-tipped the delivery guy. Overall, bad experience.

I love a place with veggie versions of my favorite dishes. The General Tao was almost as good as Friends but half the price and twice the portion. I just ordered the lunch special which came with soup, veggie egg roll (didnt even have to ask for it to be veggie), and a huge heaping of ricey goodness . I cant wait to go back and try the other dishes.

Wanted Wonton soup when I wasnt feeling well. I didnt want to go far, and May Lees was closest. I was very surprised by the quality of the soup I got. The wontons were large and homemade. It also had a good quantity of chicken, shrimp, delicious shitake mushrooms and vegetables. The broth was good. I will eat here again when Im not sick.

The food is FANTASTIC!!!! VERY FRESH AND SEASONED PERFECTLY. I HIGHLY recommend MAY LING CHINESE AND JAPANESE RESTAURANT if you want authentic chinese cuisine well worth the price for the quality and quantity.

So happy to have stopped here, not a looker from the outside but their food is absolutely delicious! And they have several vegetarian and vegan options that do not lack flavor.
