May Jen Restaurant

Best Chinese food i had ..hostess was great too

Just tried mayjen for the first time in a long long time. Incredible. I’ll be back soon.

Watched the place almost burn down once. Great food though. Would go again

Tried May Jen off a recommendation. Everything was fresh, delicious, and the offering process was nice and easy. Definitely found our new go-to for takeout.

The food was amazing. Beautifully plated. Served piping hot. Cozy and serene atmosphere. Loved the open air patio option.

Highest quality Chinese Restaurant in the area! Great food, great service! This restaurant by far, is the best tasting, highest quality food in western New York. Don't ever change.

Easily one of the best Chinese food experiences in the area. My personal favorite. The garlic and ginger chicken is a thing of beauty.

Best Chinese food in town. Nice cozy restaurant if you just want a quiet meal out. If you want to stay home and be comfortable just order take out and stay home Full menu on line and they even deliver.

Their signature garlic ginger chicken was perfect. Also the best cold sesame noodles I've ever had.

Soooo happy to have May Jen back! Best Chinese food in town! New dining room looks great, cannot wait for summer on the new patio!

The good is always superb here. I have never had a greasy or overcooked meal. The service is spectacular, and they are always kind and courteous.

My opinion, probably the best Asian cuisine around here, everything is fresh, only takeout right now, I'm glad they reopened, I guess dine in soon

Really good food but a bit pricey. If I had choice of good food or price, I'll go for the good food. I always do take out so not sure of service.

Just reopened for dine in. You have to show vaccine proof. Food was excellent all made in house. Everything was delicious. Priced very reasonable.

Fabulous food and such a variety. The Wor Won Ton Soup- holy cow, absolutely delish. Incredible service, Tom!

Always busy with deliveries and food was being served at dining area.

The food is fresh and delicious. I extremely enjoyed everything. Will come back again.

Stopped in for take out - service was quick and friendly, and our food was fantastic. Will be back.

Since a shaky reopening weekend, this place has never failed to impress. Delicious apps, great egg rolls (ask for house duck sauce), and the best sesame chicken you'll find.

The food was very delicious ! It was clearly made to order. It was very notable that the ingredients were fresh. It was so yummy that I forget to take pictures. I will return 🍜😁

A fantastic little Hidden Gem right at the corner of Windermere and Kenmore a fantastic atmosphere great service the guy offered me much more knowing it was hot outside the order only took like 5 minutes I came in for takeout I didn't order ahead of time

Probably my favorite Chinese restaurant around here. They do take-out, but I think eating in gets you more and a better experience. This isn't your typical "counter style" Chinese place. The food is tasty and cooked well!

"THE PLACE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED. NO ESTIMATED TIMELINE FOR REOPENING" One of the good Chinese around Buffalo. Good vegetarian options. They have house special chips and sauce that's awesome.

Hope they’re not closed for good, and open up again soon! 😫🙁This restaurant was one of the reasons we chose to move around university/Amherst area. Their Chinese food was one of the best in buffalo! Very nice people. Great portions! I used to go here a lot when I was a UB student. A lot of us are forced to go to the other Chinese spot at university plaza but it’s not as great as this place was

The best service I've had around here. The owner is a gem. Ensured we are well, brought the freshest food and honestly advised us on the portion sizes. The food was really tasty and made to order. Will definitely come back.

We get takeout from May Jen often and it's always excellent, lots of vegetarian options and they prepare the order quickly and accurately. They're super nice & friendly at pickup too!

Food is always delicious. The service is always wonderful. We've been customers for 20+ years.

Good Chinese food for great prices. The serving sizes are also good. If you are a student living near the UB South campus then this is the place to eat Chinese. Some of their items tasted as good as PF Changs. I still keep going there every now and then.

Food was delicious, very hot temp wise, with very generous portions. Our waiter was a delight. Super kind, friendly, and would return just because of his wonderful service. Will happily return to eat here! 😊Very clean restaurant with pleasant atmosphere.

Have gone here for years. Love their General Tso and Garlic Chicken dishes!! It's quiet and clean which is a major plus, too. Soft, tasteful music conducive for intimate conversations and relaxing dining. Lovely servers. Always enjoyable!!

Always delicious. Tom is a wonderful server! We always enjoy our time at May Jen’s. Their Dim Sum is fantastic as well as their homemade duck sauce. You cannot go wrong with their dinner for one.

Back after what I heard was a fire and fresh off of a remodel, the service is still impeccable, the place is clean, and the food (the most important part of most any restaurant for me) is great. The flavors are unique, and they have some more traditional dishes in addition to the Americanized favorites, like General Two's chicken, to satisfy most pallets. Loved it before, still love it now.

May Jen is the best Chinese food I've ever had. The quality is just so far beyond what you'll get at any other place. My wife and I watched the repairs closely and were so excited when we saw the reopening announcement! I've never had a bad item from there, and they've even brought in a new chef to explore new cuisines and flavors. I cannot recommend this place more. Order from them now!

They actually have real authentic Yangzhou fried rice (Yang chow fried rice on the menu). Given that it is suprisingly hard to find real authentiv Yangzhou fried rice, this alone deserves five star.

By far the best Chinese restaurant in the Buffalo area. Happy to see it's back after being close for so long. All though the food might be a little more expensive than other Chinese restaurants, the quality is so much better. Both in the quality of the food and the taste. Enjoy going there for takeout and dining in.

I love Asian food and this is the best in Buffalo !! I am an expert and highly recommend the hot and sour soup and the vegetarian Mooshu amongst may other fine dishes ! Nice people too!!

Recently started coming here for my Chinese food, and I'm sure glad I did. The food is the best I've had in all of Buffalo. I took some of my friends here and they all agreed it was the best they've had. Very good prices too. You can pretty much stuff yourself for under $10. Can't beat it!

I haven't been inside in years but takeout is always fabulous. Mom and I have been enjoying May Jen's eggrolls, wonton soup, and beef & broccoli for most of my life. I'm so happy it's back!

I’ve only had the wonton soup and beef with gravy (no veggies) but both times it was delicious! Tad pricey but still highly recommended.

The food is excellent and the owner Susan is so nice,welcomming.Always excellent service.I highly recommend this restaurant. Patty Schmidt.🥰

Great authentic Chinese food here, not the typical "yellow rice" etc. Servings are generous and always delivered hot to the table!

YUM! My husband and I have been searching for a great Chinese place and we lucked out with May Jen. We dined in for restaurant week and were very impressed with the food and service. Our waiter was very charming, funny, and sounded like he had the perfect soothing late night radio host voice. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the menu, including offering some of his recommendations. My husband got the Hunan beef restaurant week special and it was so incredibly tender. Of course I stole a few bites! I had the General Tso dinner for one combo. The items I chose were Wonton soup, a pork egg roll, and vegetable fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was lightly breaded, which made it so enjoyable. I've been disappointed with other Chinese places and the loads of breading they are putting on the chicken for General Tso. But this dinner was perfection. I would absolutely come back. It is a bit pricey, but the quality of the food makes the cost worth it.

Most expensive Chinese food in the area, but it’s worth it. The food is always hot, fresh, and ready at exactly the pick up time you were told. The tangerine chicken is so flavorful and the crab rangoons never disappoint. The dine in area of the restaurant is very clean as well.

This is a long overdue review for May Jen…. and had the experience not been so absolutely perfect, I probably would have forgotten our meal in late August of 2022. After a long search, and having been to Chinese restaurants from Portland, LA, San Francisco (RIP House of Nanking), and just about every other part of the US, May Jen has woo’d me… and it hasn’t been forgotten. In fact, we’ve already been back once. It’s in rotation now… Here’s why: May Jen has well-trained staff, a chef that has been cooking as a partner to the owner for over 49 years, is absolutely spotless, an owner that is delightful and surprising approachable, and finally… has the best tasting and well-prepared Chinese in the City. On our first trip, we ordered so many things that the owner, Miss Sue, came over to advise us that we probably preserved too much for two people. Our answer, “we love leftovers!” LOL Our favorite? Egg Foo Young. It was fluffy, it was delicate, it had the right gravy… it was a masterpiece. We ordered it with shrimp and they were plump, not dried out, and perfect. We also ordered Sesame Chicken, Harlic Chicken, a beef dish, House Fried Rice, and the most delicious chicken filled rolls. They were stuffed with well seasoned chicken and perfectly rolled by hand. They were also a value although I can’t remember their price. Our server? A smiling you lady with a great attitude. We could tell that she liked her job - and her boss. That kind of attitude is lacking in just about every establishment (restaurant or not) since at least pre-COVID, and more likely a lot longer than that. Well done Miss Sue! One final note on the food: If you are a fan of Char Sui, ask the server if they have any, it’s the best in Western NY by a landslide and if you are lucky, they may have some left… or, I may have gotten the last of it. :-) Finally, the establishment itself is appealing. It’s simple and well done. The focus is on the food…. And damn, it was good! We’ll be regulars. I hope you enjoy it too. Buffalo has a number of decent Asian offerings, I’d put May Jen against any of them.

The food was so good the customer service was awesome the food was kind of pricey very delicious 😋🤤

Best Chinese I’ve had in buffalo. I got the seasame chicken and shrimp egg roll. And egg drop soup. Gf got the tangerine chicken and pork roll.

Absolutely delicious dine-in experience! The atmosphere is so nice, and the service was great. The general tso's chicken had amazing flavor, definitely will be coming back

Amazing best food I have had in a long time would highly recommend to anyone that loves Chinese food!!!!

Amazing best food I have had in a long time would highly recommend to anyone that loves Chinese food!!!!

We dined here on a Saturday night and had a fine meal. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff is nice and cheerful. My hot-and-sour soup was heavenly, one of the best I have ever experienced. We shall return!

Loved our meal in this beatiful restaurant! It is time to visit May Jen and eat out! Friendly service, 4 of us, each loved our meals. Noticed many meals going out. Time to eat-in!

General tso's chicken combo dinner , very good , will be back. Dinner included , vegetable fried rice and a pork egg roll

Hands down the best Chinese food in the Buffalo area. Fresh, quality ingredients, freshly and expertly prepared. We had the Ginger Garlic Chicken and pan fried Egg Foo Young. Both were awesome!

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Buffalo. I went there about 10 years ago when I moved to Buffalo from Brooklyn. I was heartbroken when they closed down a few years ago. Imagine my surprise when they reopen, and they were as good as ever! The restaurant is small but homey with a friendly staff, I especially enjoy chatting with the older gentleman. The food portion is ample, with sides. I can't recommend this place enough. I drive over 30 minutes to get my food. They have recently implemented a reward system that you signed up for using your email/phone number. I love how they incorporate a special Lenten menu with fish/seafood option for those who prefer those fare this time of the year.

Very welcoming and delicious food. I got the general tso chicken and it was freshly made. The chicken was soft and the sauce was really nice and not too spicy. The server and owner were very friendly. A nice lunch experience . Definitely coming back !

Passed by a few weeks ago (beginning of Sept 2020) and I noticed that the sign was back up!!! Sooo excited! I pray that the family recipes are being used.

Pretty decent place. Friendly staff and clean tables. But the price is a little bit higher than other Chinese restaurants.

My family was not a fan of the crab Rangoons the last couple times we ordered delivery. The chicken with Broccoli, chicken with green beans are consistently good.

I bumped onto this place in June 2012. I think this is one of the nicest places for chinese food at an affordable budget that students live on. I have tried the Kung-po chicken, Hunan chicken, chicken with garlic sauce and chicken chowmein. All of which I have never had a problem with. Oh not to mention the soup comes in a cute little bowl and is delicious. Their lunch combos are very affordable and can be moderately filling for one person. (I eat a LOT, so I'd imagine I'm estimating "moderate" well) I have enjoyed all my meals at May Jen, be it eat in (in their neat little, clean, low budget ambience that they create) or take out. Oh did I mention? They also provide a student discount. All this has made me hungry. No prizes for guessing where I'm going for lunch! :)

The food was decent and similar to other Chinese American restaurants. Has a nice dine-in area.

Food was great… owner/host acted like I was going to rob the place. Guy delivering my food (5 min after paying 110$ for 4 entrees with a small tip for carry out) protected my food as if I hadn’t paid. Very awkward experience in the restaurant

Charming little Chinese restaurant that’s been running since the 80s according to Tom, our server. Speaking of Tom, our friendly server was prompt and our food arrived quickly. I ordered the ginger garlic chicken with steamed rice and had the egg drop soup as part of their lunch menu. The food is saucy and very classic American Chinese food and we all enjoyed our dishes. I recommend this place for an easy lunch and I’d come back again. Did I mention we showed up a little before opening and they let us in and seated us anyway? Cool little place.

Very clean restaurant where you can dine inside or just have take out. Service was fast and owner was very friendly. If you order using the app Toast, you can accumulate points towards to obtain discount rewards. Egg foo young- Choice of protein.. Pattie’s were not greasy and decent amount of shrimp (my choice of protein). Would’ve like if the gravy was thinner and not so thick Singapore rice noodles- Throughly enjoyed the curry flavor, and appreciated the spiciness was at a level that was enjoyable to me. (You can choose spice level) Fried rice- typical fried rice

Excellent food and a lovely interior. It's more expensive than most other chinese places, though, I suppose since the interior dining experience is nicer.

Food was good however I ordered pork lo mein and uh THERE WAS NO PORK!

Nice inside. Food medioecre at best, and waiter kept bothering our table. Maybe because we were almost the only ones eating in there.

Pick up times are never accurate. Waited almost an hour past the due time for food. Food was okay, sauces tasted like they came from a jar.

Its a great restaurant when your in a hurry the food is 3/5 the service is 4/5 . The chef has to stop using so much oil in the food other than that this place is good

It has been years since we have eaten here, so we decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Called 45 minutes before closing & thought it would still be enough time for take out. The male employee we talked to had to keep checking with the kitchen to see if they could make any of the dinner items requested. We felt like we were bothering him. Simple items ordered, lo mein, fried rice, egg rolls. Egg rolls tasted like they were fried in old oil and were greasy. I'm guessing that the deep fryer had already been turned off, so the oil might not have been hot enough. The lo mein & shrimp fried rice were bland at best. The stir-fried ginger garlic chicken was more flavorful, but the broccoli in the dish was completely undercooked, making it tough to chew. For the price, it was not the quality that we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. On the plus side, the owner is very nice and friendly. We may dine in and try again to see if the food is any better than take out.

Food is fine, but something changed. The food wasn't as flavorful the last 2 times I ate there. Not sure if they were rushing because they were busy, but it's just not as good. I'm not giving up on them yet though!

Not the same old May Jen unfortunately. I haven't been in quite a while, was really hoping for the same high quality ingredients but it's the same or worse than your neighborhood Chinese place. There are better higher quality options out there.

All they wanted was two extra sauces when I went in there because they gave me a small blue cheese like cup for sauce and then they charged me $6 for the two extra sauces they gave me and on top of that they wanted me I pretty much waited 15 minutes for two sauces that I paid $6

My husband & I stopped in last night because we wanted Chinese & saw that this place has great reviews. We got there around 8:10pm & they close at 9pm. My husband was really hungry & wanted to dine in. The waiter was willing to seat us & serve us, but what I believe to be the owner said "we close at 9pm & you won't be done in time to dine in" so we just did take out. We looked at the menus & noticed the prices were pretty high compared to the average Chinese restaurant, which is fine. But as I looked at the menu, I asked the owner questions about certain items & she would respond with "that's a very good item, but would take 30 minutes to make" as if making any item was an inconvenience. I just ordered 2 shrimp egg rolls & Crab Rangoon (comes with 6 bite size like pieces) & it was $17. Honestly, I won't be back here. Not just because of the prices, but I feel like the owner will serve customers when it's convenient for her.

I was a frequent customer until today. I wanted to send an email but didnt see a way. Ordered Chicken and vegetables with fried rice and Wonton soup. there were a few scraps of chicken and the veggies were soaking in a very very salty gravy. Very hard to eat so ate the Rice and Soup.I always see the owner when i eat in and she is a sweet woman always friendly to her customers. But this meal has left me with a bad taste to go back.

If I could of it would have been no stars.. They might have good food. I wouldn't know I couldn't get past the terrible customer service and rude attitude.

This restaurants food was terrible. Never eating here again don’t recommend at all!

Food was horrible to over price not quality meat the chicken mango was horrible..they will never get another coin from me ...

Im an avid chinese food consumer so when I saw the good reviews on this place I thought finally a good place to get chinese but I was wrong. me and my girlfriend drove 15 minutes to get there at 4:03(they open at 4) and the doors were locked still. I called to see if it was just a mistake and then he had the nerve to tell me I didnt know what time it was as if my phone that automatically updates the time was wrong. we start to walk away and we see him standing out back smoking a cigarette instead of opening the restaurant on time! Awful service and very rude.

Hostess/Owner Sue was very rude to me and food was very late and poor quality. Avoid this dump. Food was over an hour late, Sue never said sorry, never gave updates, just kept saying "it's very busy" but not one customer received their food while I was there.

Ordered take out, got there 30mins later, had to wait *another* 20 minutes before the food was done. The employees were blatantly rude, and the food was awful and way overpriced. Never going back again.

Don't ever order for delivery from door dash. They had me wait close to 20 minutes when the restaurant had only 2 tables. Slow service.

Prices are quite high; the majority of the dishes however, are quite good. I would recommend take-out but wouldn't recommend eating in as the owner / management are quite rude (as other reviewers have pointed out). Also, if your entree is sub-par and/or prepared improperly - don't expect a refund.

First time ., last time! Was recommended by a friend. Atmosphere felt like going behind the counter in an old bank. It was dead silent there and awkward seeing you could hear a pin drop and others could hear you even if you whispered. Food was ok, not great, our server wasn't that great ime enough though it was just one other table with an old man at it. Not too mention she didn't tell me the pop refills weren't free and I spent $9 just on pop. Between two of us, getting one person special we added boneless ribs and she had one glass of wine.. $100+ UNREAL!!!! WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!

Beware ordering from this place! If there is a problem with your delivery, they tell you to call Door Dash when the restaurant is the one that messed up. We were perfectly nice on the phone and the owner hung up on us. "The cook must have forgotten to do X," she said but still told us to call Door Dash and also told us we should be using the website to order instead of Door Dash. X was a pretty important component to the dish. Terrible customer service. This is the second issue I've had for this restaurant. We will not be back.

Updated Review: I can’t believe I am writing this review about the same restaurant. Had an amazing experience dining-in about a month ago but ordered takeout tonight and it may have been one of the worst take-out meals I have ever had. The chicken was dry and chewy - unfortunately tasted like it had been cooked/fried days ago and reheated. Lo-mein was flavorless. Rice was bland and over-cooked/mushy. The only positive of the night was the sweet and sour sauce. Unfortunately after today’s experience I don’t think we can justify going back. Previous 5-star Review (approximately 1 month ago): Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service! Vegetables were cooked to perfection and high quality! We had dinner and were able to sit outside on the outdoor patio which was so nice! Our server was very kind and attentive, and the owner came by and checked on us during our meal. Will most definitely make this a regular stop for dine-in and take out!

Food was pricey with small portions and wasn’t unique in flavor

Stopped in tonight for dinner - that was a mistake. I know food prices are up in general but the price you pay for what we received was way off. I had the Pad Tai - very bland - lacked any real flavor. I got it with chicken and maybe had 2 oz of chicken in the dish. My wife had sweet and sour chicken - way overcooked - coating was super thick with overcooked and dried out chicken inside. The waiter seemed like he didn't know what he was doing and in over his head with 5 tables with dinners. Never came back to ask how our meals were, never refilled our water, like nothing. When we asked for takeout containers for leftovers he brought two small ones that didn't fit the food and nothing to hold the sweet and sour sauce. Do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere.

Just got our order delivered. Got chicken cashew and they forgot the cashews. Worker on the phone was unwilling to make the order right and scolded us for using a delivery service. Congrats you just lost two long time regular customers by being rude and refusing to make the order right.

I was starving coming home from a roadtrip and ordered delivery. A big piece of plastic wrap was cooked into my food! I pulled it out of my throat realizing what it was and vomited right away! 🤮

I got takeout yesterday . For years i have thought May Jen was a great restaurant with great food . THe best Chinese in the area . Unfortunately yesterdays food was very bad . Either chef has changed or just had a bad day ???? Eggrolls were soo over cooked and had no taste ! Sesame noodles also tasteless. Chicken/ Broccoli had no flavor. Even the fortune cookies were old and stale ! one good dish was Crispy prawns . It was delicious . Dont know if i will return after years of enjoying all of MayYen dishes

My husband and I ordered from this restaurant for the first time after looking at reviews on a Facebook post. We ordered shrimp, egg foo yong fried chicken wings, vegetable fried rice and two shrimp eggrolls .We picked up and my husband went into retrieve our order. He stated everything inside was nice and clean. When we got home we realized the food was so salty. Everything. We could barely eat it... I know we both have high blood pressure form the one bite we took. We couldn't even finish the food. We won't go back.

X was a pretty important component to the dish. Terrible customer service. This is the second issue I've had for this restaurant. We will not be back.
