May Lee Chinese Restaurant

Wow I haven't been impressed with a meal like this in a long time!Got the 3 for $47 thinking it might be smaller portions but it's not!! And the house rice had all three proteins in it I was surprised!Kung Pao chicken was amazingly good! And spice level was perfect for someone like me who can't handle a lot (kimchee level spice is my limit).Delivery was SO quick too and friendly driver who actually called me!

1/22/24Very small hole in the wall chinese restaurant that I think caters to the american palette well. They serve the typical orange chicken and broccoli beef entrees. They also have a lot of lunch specials so grab and go is convenient because the inside is really small. I got their beef chow fun ($15) and their string bean beef lunch special ($12.75). The noodles were pretty bland but the string beans were good.

Everything went well. Kind hard working people, clean establishment, the food is very filling and tasty, tastes very authentic and the dim sum tastes like home super cheap as well

Listen. This place is so underrated! It's off the main street so easy to miss, and not as well known as the other Chinese restaurants in the area, but it's my favorite one in Inner Sunset. The wokhei is ‍ None of the plates look like much but the taste is bomb. Everything I've ever tried here gets an A- from me on average. My favorite is the salt and pepper tofu appetizer which doesn't look special but taste is much more layered and delicious than other Chinese places that offer the same dish. It's a classic Chinese restaurant in the US and hits the spot. I like that it's almost like being in someone's home too, with water being served in Western ceramic mugs, and the hot tea is served in a colorful floral teapot with matching cups (and different tables get a diff tea set). So cute. Service so nice too.

You aren't coming for the ambience. You are coming for the sweet and sour pork. Because it's perfect. Your favorite American-style Chinese dishes await your pickup. Did I mention the sweet and sour

This is a hidden gem, some of the most delicious food and kindest people.They also have an enormous menu and everything I've tried has been spot on

We ordered several dishes to feed about 50 people for our Epiphany Center' s annual Lunar New Year's lunch. Many places couldn't help us with only a few days notice, but May Lee was wonderful. It was the best ever Chinese lunch. I had read other reviews so had the salt and pepper pork, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, shrimp fried rice, shrimp with snow peas, vegetable chow main, pot stickers and wontons. Everyone had enough with enough left over for our women to have it for supper as well. The food was delivered to our agency. We will be using them again next year! Besides the great food, they are also delightful to work with.Happy Lunar New Year!

I've gotten takeout from May Lee's for 30 years!!! It's consistently good, fast, and well-priced. Love them!! Give them a try!!

Solid Chinese food! What they offer on their menu they do very well. The overall rating on food should be 4 stars, which is very good. I recommend the fried rice, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and salt and pepper pork. Food tastes fresh and you can taste the "wok hei". We often order takeout but try to dine in when we can because as with any place everything especially deep fried items will be much better served right out of the kitchen. Very kind people as well.Ignore the reviews that say this isn't authentic or isn't what Chinese food should be like, that's ridiculous.

I've lived in SF for 10 years and this is now my favorite Chinese restaurant in the entire city. Very authentic. Will be coming back many more times. The basil beef and orange chicken were so well cooked and the quality of ingredients is very apparent. Just Delicious!! The service and owners are so sweet too.
