The Assorted Preserved Meat Hot Pot Rice, Clay Pot Spareribs Rice, and Deep Fried Fish epitomize unexceptional taste. Hits and misses dot the experience, with complaints of forgettable dishes and occasional unfreshness.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions frequently highlighted as plentiful and satisfying for customers.

  • Okay Taste

    Varied experiences with some hits and misses in food taste.

  • Not Creative

    Dishes are forgettable; lacking distinction to make them stand out.

Vibe: Tiresome ambiance, Buzz remiss

The vibe at May Mei borders on chaotic. The lighting is too bright, bereft of coziness. Wrapped in an old and plain decor, the noise often escalates and stifles conversation. Its popularity, rather than sparking a lively buzz, unfortunately adds to the noise and confusion.

  • Great Buzz

    Popular local spot known for being crowded and having a busy ambiance.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Noisy, busy, with too bright lighting and old, plain decor.

Perks: Irritating parking and outdoor seating

The struggle for parking and outdoor seating at May Mei is an unwelcome prelude and accompaniment to dining. Screaming over food isn't the patrons' choice, but the noisy and busy ambiance imposes it. Add the lack of flexibility for substitutions, and it's a less than welcoming scenario.

  • Great For Kids

    Staff is always friendly and accommodating, good for kids.

  • Okay For Groups

    Varied experiences with group seating and service, but food is praised.

  • Bad For Diets

    Not flexible with substitutions; charges same for dishes with or without meat.
