Came here for supper when staying at a nearby hotel. This restaurant had good reviews and we were very pleased with the food and the service. We ordered combo plates 1 and 2 along with the hot and sour soup. The portions were generous and we could not finish it all. They provided a container for the leftovers. The hostess and our server were very friendly. The food was excellent. We recommend May Mei for tasty, authentic chinese food.

Always good food and friendly service. Take out, delivery or dinning in are all great options. Sad they don't have the buffet anymore but still delicious food no matter what.

Wow that was some good Chinese! The portions are nice a big, we accidentally ordered a bit too much but it all tasted so good! Definitely going to come back here. Great service too! It was only a matter of minutes before we had our food. So fast! And they were really kind and helpful.

Good one with good price. Had one chicken fried rice. One's quantity is enough for two person. Buffet was not available there at that time though.

A family-owned restaurant, the owners will be super happy to chat with you if you speak Chinese! Good portion sizes for the price. The store itself is medium sized and offers dine-in. There is no longer a buffet, however.

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had anywhere. Sweet and sour pork and breaded pork ribs are phenomenal. We drive from Winnipeg to eat here that’s how good it is.
