Great food with healthy portions of veggies.
It’s easy to eat vegetarian or vegan here and not miss out on any flavor.
Everything is cooked to perfection! The caring and humble vibe makes it feel like we’re eating at someone’s house, down to the serving dishes and tea mugs.
On only our second visit we were greeted with a “welcome back!”

Owner response

Hello Stanford, Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! We hope you feel comfortable sharing good or bad news with us because every review helps us better understand how we can improve.
Thanks again, and we hope to serve you soon!

The restaurant is small and busy, there was a wait for our order to be taken but the food was brought out quickly and it was delicious.

Owner response

After a long visit to the UCSF Medical Center to see our mother, we decided to stop by the May Lee Restaurant for a quick early dinner before heading back to Sacramento.
We were immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman who welcomed us to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is a cute little old-school Frisco diner.
The dining area is quite small, but it looks like they’re more geared towards take out and DoorDash orders.
The menu had a lot of options, so it was hard for us to decide what to order.
There is Definitely something for Everyone! My sister ended up getting one of the combo plates with Walnut shrimp, my niece got the Curry Chicken and I got the Ginger Beef.
My ginger beef was not too heavy with the sauce, which I really liked and the beef was Super tender! All the veggies were very fresh and not over cooked at all.
We also decided to get the Har Gau Shrimp appetizer.
Everything was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was especially delicious.
To top it off, they also give you free veggie egg rolls over a $35 order! Ours were crisp and tasty ☺️ BONUS!!! They have FAUX Beef and Chicken sections on the menu!!! And quite a few Yummy looking selections!!! ATTENTION ALL VEGGIES!!! 👏👏👏 Overall, our experience at May Lee Restaurant was great.
The food was delicious and the service was very friendly.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty and affordable meal in the area.
