May's Kitchen seriously took me back to my childhood Chinese joint. The food had that authentic, comforting flavor that brought back memories right away. Everything was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they put care into what they're serving. Definitely one of those places that feels like a hidden gem. I'll be back for sure! read more

Solid Chinese for SFL and reasonable prices. Egg Roll, Dumplings, Fried Rice, Lomein and Mongolian beef were all good. Would recommend for the area. read more

We recently had a get together with friends and got takeout Chinese from May's. Unlike other places around, their prices have not risen astronomically since the pandemic. Most of the items have gone up like 50 cents or $1 in the past two years. Good job May's. The place is a literal "hole in the wall" where there's no table seating nor service and everything is take out. They do deliver within a certain mile radius, so check with them if interested. - The boneless ribs were delicious, sweet and tender. - The moo shu pork came with 4 pancakes per order but lots of pork and vegetables in the full size container....so if you are not set on the "pancake" experience, you can definitely have meat and veggies to put on rice, noodles, salads, etc.... - The Singapore rice noodles had a nice touch of curry, spice and fresh veggies. - The chicken with ginger and scallions was very flavorful and tasty as well...lots of scallions and vegetables as well. - The beef with snow peas had lots of snow peas and a good amount of tender meat slices. Great place for Chinese take out. They take credit cards. They don't honor any more coupons like they used to.... read more

We had the distinct pleasure of attending a wonderful dinner party with friends with takeout food from this Chinese restaurant. It was coincidence that it took place in time for a celebration of the Lunar New Year. This "hole in the wall" restaurant has been in Pompano for as long as I can remember. It's set back off Federal Highway. I've driven past here a million times, but it always looked too shady to stop at -- even though I'd read some good reviews. This party invitation was a perfect opportunity to try their cuisine when one of the hosts had highly recommended them. We got to try their Singapore rice noodles, beef with snow pea pods, a chicken dish with scallions (?), boneless pork ribs, and moo shu pork with pancakes. Although the rice noodles dish is usually one of my favorite dishes and I liked it, their version when we tried it was a bit too spicy for me to have more than one serving. My favorites of the evening turned out to be the pork dishes -- both the boneless ribs and the moo shu which came with soft pancakes and hoisin sauce, as well. Portions were large enough that we all got to bring home extra servings. I'm so glad we finally got to try their food. Now we can comfortably try more of their menu in the future. read more

We did take out from here yesterday. I was almost in tears as it's the first good Chinese food I've eaten in five years. We live in Boca and have tried every place, would not return anywhere. May's was wonderful! Nothing was soggy, or too sweet, or too small of a portion. Best General Tso's chicken I've ever had. And the Mongolian beef and dumplings were very good too! So happy! read more

I went there today at 2:51. Not even thinking about the time expiration for lunch prices. Two men were before me. One walked in and picked up his order. The other gentleman was there the entire time I was so not sure what happened with him. After 8 minutes of surveying and studying the menu I was ready to order. AND. I WAS READY TO ORDER and I was waiting and ready to order. Nothing. I did hear someone in the kitchen cooking and stirring but no one came to the counter to take an order or check on the other fella. After another two minutes I decided to leave. The customer service is lacking but I don't believe they give two cents bc they're the only Chinese food restaurant in an 8 mile vicinity . read more

Standard Chinese food. Ordered at the store, and it came out quick and hot. Beef with eggplant was huge, enough for two people, and the beef was...just OK. My wife's Singapore Mi Fun was too hot, but that always varies from one Chinese restaurant to another, shoulda told them to go easy on the peppers. Order taker knows his job. read more

Sometimes those little hole-in-the-wall, stick your nose up places are the best gems in disguise. Max and I are lucky to have wonderful friends who said that we should meet at their place for Sunday dinner. Each couple chipped in and had enough for take home after the takeout. The dessert in the picture is from another restaurant, but it was the best compliment to finish stuffing our Buddha bellies. read more

How about the food. When you walk into order or pick up your food, you're just in a car with a window where you're served take out Chinese food. The food I found was delicious. read more

Good Chinese food. We are normally Sushi snobs but I love these mom and pop Chinese kitchens all over the world. It's just good east coast Chinese takeout at competitive prices. There is not much in Pompano in this area so I highly recommend them. I always pick up, but delivery is free but not for me. read more

While visiting my mom in Florida I had a craving for Chinese food having had it in NYC two weeks ago. My mom suggested May's kitchen, a take out place. Driving up is underwhelming to say the least. But those little holes in the wall places are usually the best - just watch episodes of Triple D. We ordered two dinner specials: Szechuan Shrimp and General Chow's chicken. Both came with an egg roll and soup. We chose a mixed soup and a hot & sour soup. I also ordered BBQ ribs. The egg rolls were good. The mixed soup was tasty. The hot & sour was good and hot, not just fire hot but spicy hot. The ribs were delicious as were the entrees. The only problem, which is not really a problem, there was too much food. We had leftovers for the next day. Prices were very good. $40 for all that food. Ya got to love when you can eat for two days for forty dollars. Their menu is very extensive having everything you can think of or want from a Chinese restaurant. I know next time I'm in Florida, if I'm looking for Chinese takeout, I'll be ordering from May's Kitchen. read more

I live in Pompano when I discovered this place it instantly became my fav Chinese spot. Food is always right!

Good food and nice people. Would eat here again Good selection and location. Try a few dishes and share of course read more

As the old adage goes " never judge a book by it's cover". In this case the adage is wrong: You should judge this place by its exterior. The food is as bad as its exterior. I decided to try this place again after 20 years. The food is as bad as the place looks. I brought home three items. One was worse than the others. I threw all three out. Stay away. When I asked if they used MSG. They had no idea what is was---or so claimed. read more

Delivery is very fast & friendly food was hot and fresh, chicken wings are extremely crispy. Came with a variety of sauces except for hot sauce, which was disappointing but the mustard was good. read more

May's Kitchen - a variety of food items - Chinese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

I just wanna say, do not judge a book by its cover. What looks like a dirty hole in the wall is actually one of the best takeout Chinese restaurants in the area! The first thing I always get here are their delicious eggrolls, fried rice, and their wonton soup. Yeah it's the basics but it's so so good. When I'm super hungry, then I like to get their crab Rangoon and any type of shrimp dish since I'm a pescatarian. Trust me this place is absolutely amazing and again don't judge a book by its cover... just judge by the food. read more

Food is mediocre but not very many options in pompano beach. Service isn't the best as they aren't the friendliest people. But it fixed our Chinese craving. read more

Have lived in Pompano for a few years and never tried Mays Kitchen-Well I'm glad we did! It's a tiny place -should get a makeover but more importantly-our order of beef and broccoli was great-not greasy and the beef was tender ! We also tried the Singapore Rice noodles-just enough curry with a nice assortment of chicken/shrimp mixed in. Will definitely go back ! read more

Ordered Chinese from them last night (New Years Eve) as we have done in 15+ years. Throughout the past year we have ordered food from Mays and each time food was not the same. (Hit or miss) Last night was the last time we will go there. Prices online are not what they charged us. Everything was $4-6 more than what was listed. We questioned them and they said online prices are not right and gave us a new menu. We get home and nothing was fresh, hot or flavorful. Quality of the food changed. Vegetables were mushy. (Not sure what the chow mein had in it, low mein was gross, crunchy pieces and no flavor, special fried rice was not the same). The only thing that everyone liked was the egg roll. Very disappointing. 8 adults and 3 kids who have eaten here for many years all thought the same. Someone please recommend a good Chinese place we can go to in 2024. read more

Very good food. Enjoyed. Delivery was fast. Would recommend. Call way ahead of when you want delivery.

Mediocre food and service. Food was fast and hot but left a stale oil taste in my mouth. Definitely don't come here thinking you're getting anything special and you won't be disappointed. read more

Before relocating to South Florida 2 years ago, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 20 years, where the largest and oldest Chinese and Chinese American population lives, so I know a little bit about Chinese food! Be aware that their prices have gone up quite a bit compared to the prices you may find for their dishes listed on different sites, and because they don't have their own website, you don't know the price unless you pick up a menu there. This "Chinese" restaurant has been around for almost 40 years and for good reason: they figured out how to serve "Americanized Chinese Food" to fit the needs of a non-Asian, white, black and latino population in the area. I ordered three dishes: Hunan chicken, Szechuan chicken, and chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce. These are three dishes with distinctly different sauces. Guess what? When I got home and saw the food, especially after tasting the food, all three dishes had nearly identical sauces with tiny variations (if you could call it even variation). All three sauces were practically simplified, "non-offensive", garlic sauces and none were spicy at all. Huh? They also used a full mix of multiple vegetables in all three dishes, which again, is not authentic. Those three dishes do not come each with a mix of 7 or 8 different vegetables, identically used in the three dishes! If you want "Americanized Chinese Food" with fresh vegetables, moderate prices and large portions you can get food here; however, if you want authentic Chinese food, you should go to Firi Bistro a couple of miles away or even Peking Duck (ok food) down the road. read more

It's okay. it's very hard to find a good Chinese place around here. My usual place closed last year and can't find one nearly as good.

The sweet N' sour soup was excellent. The mooshi pork and the Kung pao chicken were very disappointing.

This is a great take out Chinese. Food are really good and great portion. I do Recommended. read more

We took a chance and got takeout and the food was hot and delicious. Pork fried rice was really good!

Nothing fancy just good tasting chinese food and large portions moderately priced.

Hands down the best fried rice I've ever had including the chicken. They also offer delivery (he's always very organized and very nice ). I recommend the house fried rice. I love it. read more

For a hole in the wall Chinese place. The food is outstanding. Just need to get past the old and tired looking building. I would recommend.

This place is ok. Wings r good, but don't save to eat the next day. Fried rice is ok but not enough shrimp
