    B7. Crab Rangoon (6pcs) D3. Beef Fried Rice
    Michelangelo D.

    Sooooooo, on an Uber order, for pickup, they charge $5 additional for a small portion of their fried rice, also, they do not have (and I tell you when I say I was shocked I was *shocked*) packets of hot mustard. Numero Uno might be a stretch. It is definitely not 第一 or ナンバーワン. No.7 teriyaki located over by the mall next to half price books and 5 Guys at least offers stamp cards.... Stillll, great looking place, great vibe, great portions, would not recommend ordering on Uber Eats and would not expect them to give you anything complimentary for that extra $5 if you do. (Reads $21 on the app vs $16 menu price inside Tacoma's No.1* Fried Rice for a *small*) The rangoons are goonerific though (that is tasty and exotic in a naughty way) 10/10 there, but the fried rice, and I will admit, it was to go, so maybe I was underwhelmed by the flavor because of the ten minutes it took to get back downtown, but the beef fried rice wasn't particularly interesting to me, and I'm Not usually grouchy or that picky

    Excellent

    SERIOUSLY? Over priced staples like rice? Cmon You got to be kidding me right now! Rice is something like ketchup And you're going to charge four dollars per scoop? This is where they cross the line. They have good presentation but greed shines out from behind the marketing! Regardless of how good the food is, this makes me angry in and of itself! Other Korean restaurants are giving away, unlimited side dishes, and these Koreans are trying to charge four dollars for rice! A reasonable price should be two dollars not four dollars Eye e goo! Ahh gee mah This is no good. Learn from Costco and maybe business will explode!

    The portions were huge!! Had to take home some good leftovers for the week. We ordered the Mongolian beef and chicken teriyaki with miso and eggroll appetizer. For the amount of food we ordered the price was not bad at all! The seating area is pretty big and very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Chicken teriyaki was tender and had some good char. The Mongolian beef was perfect and the way we like it! Will have to come back to try their sushi!

    Mongolian Large order

    Today we decided to make use of our Door Dash pass to have a family lunch. We decided on Mongolian beef! That was a great choice. Even my young son who is picky with onions devoured this dish. This dish is a favorite for my husband and I. I love the reusable containers. We can wash and reuse again. I dislike those foam take-away boxes ! The container is great for food deliveries and the food is kept from spills. I have ordered fried rice both house and shrimp. If you love meat smothered in onions Mongolian beef is the one to try. The Door Dash app communicated very well and allowed me to receive my order in great timing. The Driver brought the order pretty quick. Overall the experience has been great with the restaurant. I have now used Grubhub and Door Dash with this restaurant and it is a very positive experience and highly recommend to Use either to purchase meals here. It is great for a family meal at home with that nice ambiance quality!

    I agree, this is one of thee best Chinese food joints I've had in Washington. Why? The Teriyaki Chicken is clean with minimal fatty pieces, it's clean and delicious. I'm a picky eater and I love it. I had a large order as you can see from the photos and I ate all of it! The other dishes are just as good, the orange chicken and Kings fried rice. Fried rice as a left over is still delicious, I however recook it in a pan and it tastes even better, to me at least. They also have an excellent boba menu, which I always get honey dew. The vibe is cool and calm just like a fancy restaurant. The cashier was very attentive.

    honey walnut shrimp -- not worth it so little shrimp and i think it was $10
    Moani H.

    Good american chinese food and great variety. I really do enjoy their friend rice, specifically the BBQ chicken one! It is a little pricey but it's worth it. It's a clean store and a very nice couple seem to run it and run it well! I have tried the mongolian beef and honey shrimp. I would not recommend the shrimp -- it was only five or six small shrimp for $10 and not worth it to me. The mongolian beef was good but on the sweet side which is a little unusual for that dish -- but i enjoyed their take on it. the beef was very tender. I'd definitely come again! They have quite an extensive menu -- so there's something for everyone to try. the parking is mostly street parking which at times is quite hard to find in that area but they do have a little parking lot which i believe is theirs.

    House/special fried rice and chow mein

    First off,this place is spotless.Patient and friendly staff.The menu is huge,literally!So many choices.But I knew what I wanted right from the start..house fried rice and house chow mien and opted for the large serving ...wow.Enough for three people!Nice tasty produce.Everything but the kitchen sink.Great monetary deal.Worth a return trip to try a few more items on the menu.Plenty of tables,no alcohol....and to reiterate,clean.Really clean.

    Kung Pao cheating portion
    Afton S.

    I ordered KungPao Chicken ala carte. When I got home I opened it to find a half order of Kung pan and 2 large rice balls. This is a different menu item that is less expensive. They refused giving a refund to my card and tried to tell me that the ala carte would have the same price. We're talking just a few dollars here. They cheated me and jelp my money. You can see by pic is half order. NEVER GO THERE! NEVER.

    Latest Menu.

    Good food. It's changed a lot since going Sushi but still good food and it's close by.

    Top plate was Beef steak lo mien, lower plate was Cashew Chicken.
    Joyce C.

    The food was delicious! I was there on Friday, 09/27/24 with my grandson. My grandson ordered Beef steak lo mien, I ordered Cashew Chicken. The plates were full and tasty! Service with a smile and quick. Clean tables & booths to eat in. We recommend this restaurant to many & hope you enjoy as much as we did!

    Good service, ok food, and enormous portions. I was in town for an event and needed a quick bite. Good reviews and I took the plunge. On the plus side, I had two meals. A bit pricy but it's downtown Tacoma. Every costs extra, $2 more if you want it spicy which is a downer for me. I generally eat everything spicy and there are no condiments except soy sauce. A good amount of veggies with my yakisoba and no complaints on the flavor except for the lack of spice. If you need a quick meal, check it out.

    I was in Tacoma for work and this place happened to be nearby and very convenient. They have a small parking lot but there's also street parking. It's a good size restaurant but it's not huge. The sign "Tacoma's No1 Fried Rice" caught our attention. But also, was recommended by some co-workers. When you walk from the parking lot, immediately you can smell the food coming from the restaurant. Smells so good. When you come in you are greeted by the person at the counter. You order the food at the counter and they bring your food to you. The food came fast and we still had plenty of time to walk around. Though they advertise the best fried rice, neither one of us had it. We had one of their many combos. My friend had the Teriyaki Chicken with steamed rice, salad, and egg roll. I had Teriyaki Chicken, with chow mein and steamed rice. It was a good amount of food for one person and It was delicious! The chicken was tasty and I almost ate all of my chow mein. I was happy the Noodles weren't over cooked. Both of us spent less than $20 for our meals. Can't beat that.

Now, prices even higher and quality is crap. I spent $52 on fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, and vegetable foo young the other night. Rice is ok, sweet & sour chicken is nearly all breading with very little chicken. The veggie egg foo used to be the best I'd ever had. Not anymore. Quality veggies have been replaced with 90% cabbage as filler, a few frozen peas and a few frozen carrots. Not only that, but they were round balls and raw inside. They went into the garbage. Have always loved the staff but, sadly, I wont be back.

I've been twice now, and both times the food was really good. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and even with takeout, the food was still hot and delicious when I got home. You know the food is good when you open the container and start eating before you even finish putting everything away. The chow fun was one of my favorites! The duck was juicy, the roasted pork had that nice crispy skin, and the steamed chicken was bomb! Everything was flavorful and cooked really well. No complaints from this auntie. The service was good too, and honestly, I'm just happy to finally have a good Chinese restaurant in Federal Way! Sometimes I want Chinese food, but I do NOT want to drive all the way to Seattle just to satisfy the craving. Gas is expensive, traffic is annoying... we have food at home! The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it's not a big deal. The prices are a little high, but honestly, I feel like they're pretty normal for Chinese food these days. Overall, I'm really glad I finally gave May May Hong Kong a try. Good food, good service, and conveniently close to home. Definitely coming back when the Chinese food craving starts yelling at me again!

I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not. There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it. The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!
