This has to be the worst "buffet" in Phoenix. Small dirty place with a very limited buffet line. This is more like going to a local cafeteria. If your looking for a buffet, this is not it read more

You ever do something and think "that's gonna haunt me."? Yeah, this was one of those for me. Small selection, mediocre, greasy food. But yet, like a drunken lonely 20 something looking through old pics I find myself thinking of returning here. The chicken was the only part that was tasty. The pork was dry and hard like it'd been sitting under the heat lamp for hours though I'd just seen them bring out a fresh tray. The soups are great! The lo mein and rice are awesome, but they disrespect their proteins. The price is right, and the food decent. Great for feeding 4 kids, plus mom and dad for under $50. read more

Been coming here for about 11 years. Yes the food doesn't change but it doesn't have to! My family loves the sesame chicken and ribs. We have ate inside a limited amount of times but we order carry out about 1 time per week. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. The food has always been great. Now with covid the restaurant is offering food take out only, and they are doing a great job at sanitizing the pens and markers after every transaction. read more

Hands down, the best place to eat Chinese food. Looks sketchy from the outside, but wait til you eat the food. You will definitely go back. Buffet provides a variety for any food lover and you can even order from the menu. My family has been eating here for over 20 years. read more

This our families favorite Chinese buffet restaurant. My husband loved it before he passed away. We would ask him where he wanted to go on father's day or any special day it was to May Gardens. I recommend this place to all my friends. It is a family owned restaurant and my family loves to eat here. We go there quite often even though it is 11.3 miles away from home. We have tried other Chinese buffets but nothing beats May Gardens. read more

Ok so I am not from here but I have tried my share of Chinese buffets and tho this wouldn't be mmm number one cuz again I have been around this is definitely a place I will keep coming back too! Only thing so far I dont like at all is the noodles (chow mein) umm I just don't I'd rather have panda noodles umm but honestly once you have Thai chow mein kinda no going back but I will say their fried rice is on point one of my favorites from all the places. Not a fan of the egg rolls but I'm picky sorry. Now I love love love beef and broccoli and pretty much everything else is so good but mY fav is the pork ribs not a lot of places serve them and I have loved them cooked this way since I was a child so for me that waS a huge tHing so between everything on menu that is amazing and the take out plates are unreal and always friendly staff and clean this place has stood the test of time for a reason!! Love definitely try them if you haven't read more

Love this place been going here since I was a kid best Chinese food place I've ever been to in my entire life no joke. And great price. If I could give it more stars I would. No capp fr fr read more

We have been going to May Graden for quite some time. They do not have a big selection but what they do have is very delicious. The lo mein is amazing as are the cream puffs. The orange chicken, sesame chicken and fried rice are very good as well. The staff is always attentive certainly not friendly. We love this place and will continue to go back. The one knock I will say is the restrooms are disgusting and the interior is very run down. Not dirty just run down. I understand the location is kind of in a poorer neighborhood but that should be no excuse for upkeep. read more

Awsome variety of food great selections and well maintained line. We have taken the take out box and it is enough food to eat two or three days. Its a great value for your money. read more

Awesome Chinese Food. Good Prices and lots of variety. We will go back when we are in the neighborhood!

Excellent food and very reasonable price. The server is courteous and I definitely will go back.

Been coming here since I was little. Best pork noodle soup ever! The buffet is awesome as well. Good prices. Also try to order off the menu. The drums of heaven are delish. read more

My whole family has been coming here since before I was born. Always fresh & enormous portions for to-go. Best Chinese food in AZ for sure.

We order the buffet to go all the time. We've been eating here for years and are never disappointed. Good food for a great price!

Dinner Buffet is $8.00 plus $1.25 for Drink Small selection, but a strong case of quality over quantity here..! Great service, right as I entered.. Although it took me a couple times to find the door with this building. =D read more

I was so disappointed based off of a suggestion of a family friend. The place was crowded, outdated, and the food was much to be desired. A layer of grime covered the booths. If you wanted to catch all the overweight people this is the place to be. Dining here is inexpensive and I know that is part of the appeal. I would say the food lacked flavor and looked like slop. One positive was the owners were kind. Wait staff attentive. Try their egg drop soup. Avoid this place if you are looking for a true Chinese food experience. read more

we found a hair in our food and the owner tried to make it seem like it was a bean sprout! it was NOT, it was long black hair! they just kept denying it and made it seem like we were crazy, we spent over $70 there! read more

If you're from Maryvale....Chances are great you've eaten here atleast once. Been stopping by here for over 20 years and I love it. The food is a staple of the community and May Gardens is an iconic establishment of Maryvale. If you haven't checked them out please do so read more

I can't believe I didn't start coming here years ago! Delicious Chinese food buffet, very good price! Small little hidden spot, but very good service and selection! Come here almost every Sunday now! Only negative, no windows at all inside the building, which I think is weird. read more

I wish I had talked Zoe into Siu Wok... Ugh. Ok, this place is cheap. That's always a plus. We wanted take-out from the buffet. You get a card (kinda like at Chino Bandito) and mark what you want from the buffet. Hostess takes card to the buffet and fills your take-out box. Ok, here is where she actually GETS stars. My box was full. Overloaded. Always a plus, as Chinese take-out is always good the next day. Lo Mein, sesame chicken, egg roll (she gave me 2!), beef with broccoli, some shrimp thing and BBQ pork ribs. 8.18 with tax for what has turned out (so far) to be 4 meals. There is a complete lack of flavor for most of the dishes. The only one that actually HAD flavor was the ribs. The rest? MEH. I never use "meh," but in this case, it works. There was only one packet of soy sauce in the bag. No sweet and sour for my egg rolls. The lo mein? No flavor. Shrimp thing? Actually had shrimp in it, but, still, no flavor. I'm a bit pissed, because I had a real craving for Chinese food. What I really got was Grandma making Chinese that Gramps could eat without feeling it the next day. Me, I'm not feeling this place at ALL. The only thing that got them stars was the size of the take-out portion and the price. MEH. read more

Good abundant amount of food for the price!The won ton soup is awesome! Could get updated on cleanliness and decor, I never eat inside due to that, always take out! read more

Their food is pretty good; egg foo young is excellent. Very generous on take out $10.00 for dinner. Interior is not so good letting the place deteriorate ceiling is nasty, carpet is filthy, they mop the tile floor with bleach I think over whelming when you're in line to get your food. Not in the best area. read more

May Garden has got to be one of the best Chinese restaurants. I used to live near the May Garden in North Phoenix, and I loved it. I used to eat there regularly, then one day it closed :( I could not believe it. It was just gone. For years I was upset..........then one day I saw that there was 2 locations, and only 1 closed. I knew I had to go! The unfortunate thing was I had moved to California, so stopping for lunch was kind of out of the question. So, on my last visit to Phoenix, I stopped by the other location. It was just as good, if not better. Do not get the buffet (not that it's bad), but instead order from the menu. The chicken fried rice is really to die for as well as the egg rolls and crab puffs. You will be in heaven! Even though you are in the middle of Maryvale/Westridge area. Its really worth the risk of getting shot. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Phoenix. I have been coming here since I was a youngster. There used to be 3 locations but the only one left is here in the hood. It's worth the trip for me to come from Surprise and get the "to go buffet"! Still the same awesome food all these years! read more

Wish u could rate this place less. Let's start with the food. It was oily watered down and frankly tasted disgusting. A little run down and dirty restaurant, but the service was OK. I've been to worse looking restaurant's with way way better food. I'm so disappointed I was thinking " hell, small buffet better food" boy was I wrong. I'm just wandering how a place can mess up egg rolls. read more

This has been my favorite Chinese food since I was a child , always tastes amazing, friendly staff , clean restaurant, and the to go boxes are always overflowing with food they never skimp in portions! You truly can't beat the price and taste the restaurant is always packed it truly is a neighborhood gem . If you haven't tried it I highly recommend that you do! read more

Great place. It's hard to find a good Chinese buffet now days. This place has been run by the same family for 30 years. Good food at a good price. read more

My husband brought me here about 5 years ago. At first i was unimpressed. The place looks like a total dive from the outside. Once inside i was still skeptical. This place has the expected cheesy Chinese decor. The cashier was very friendly. The food is absolutely delicious and you can't beat the price. Plus its all you can eat. Since then I have brought all my friends here and they agree that its one of the best "cheap Chinese food" buffets around. read more

If you are looking for a Chinese buffet with a ton of variety this isn't the place for you first off. It's small but food is awesome for the price. Less then $9 bucks per person to dine in and for a couple dimes more to take out which is definitely worth it cause they pack the box to the point it barely closes! I'm usually eating a take out box 2 days in a row cause i always have leftovers the next day cause its a lot of food. Alot of the items are fried but definitely yummy like the fried chicken and sesame chicken. If you are looking for cheap more then decent Chinese food this is the spot. read more

This buffet has been there for 30+ years. It's one of the best low cost Chinese buffets I know. I come here mostly for the soups and meat. They have beef and broccoli and mixed vegetables with seafood, soft lo mein type noodles, along with chicken chop suey over crunchy noodles, and they're all good. Both the egg drop and hot n sour are very good. I like the fried mushrooms and zucchini. The char siu pork ribs are delicious but only put out for dinner. The fried chicken and honey sesame chicken are other favorites. They don't have the selection of the mega chains, but I like the homemade flavor here better. The ribs are my favorite. read more

I always go here when I'm craving a good Chinese. It's by far my favorite plus the amount of food you get is incredible for the money you spend. read more

Food was meh but for the price isn't horrible. Egg rolls tasted hella weird and the rice wasn't the best. Again for the price this isn't too bad but o would personally never go again. I'd rather lay $5 to eat at a bigger buffet like LINS or Hibachi grill which are pretty much just down the road from this place. The variety was.. lacking and I honestly only got one serving. Skip this place if you can but if it's the closest place to you and you don't have a ride, go for it. read more

A friend recommended this place. I don't get it. It's one-dimensional, overcooked, and just blah. Two stars because they don't overcharge, but really, if the price was one measley dollar more, I'd give it only one star, as that is what the food, dining area, and restrooms merit. There are few selections, and really, everything tastes the same. ALL the sauces are cloyingly sweet, and ONLY sweet. There are no subtle flavors like good Chinese food offers. The ONLY dish with vegetables was the beef with broccoli. (Sure, there were a few shards of carrot and celery in the lo mein, but really, there were no vegetables in any of the other dishes.) Two choices of soup, fried rice only. The fried zucchini and the onion rings were both soggy messes. (Umm, tell the cook to not overcrowd the pan. He's reducing the temperature of the oil by overcrowding the pan, with the result being mushy batter instead of crispy.) The salad is iceburg lettuce and slices of underripe tomatoes. The desert choices are soft serve ice cream and red Jell-O. Oh, use the restroom somewhere else. No seat covers, tons of grafitti, mirrors so scratched up that you can't see yourself. The man behind the counter who took my credit card was super-friendly, but the waitress who brought my water didn't utter one word, nor even offer a smile. You know, if you are happy with Americanized slop that is overcooked (DRY, bone dry!), with no ambience whatsoever, then hey, give this place a try, but it sure didn't turn out to be my cup o' tea. read more

Its a family tradition, I've been coming here since I was little and the tradtion continues. You know just what to expect and the food has always tasted the same. Avoid the restrooms the place is really old :) read more

This restaurant is a staple in the community. The food is delicious and the staff is attentive to our needs. I've also had them cater an event and the portions are GREAT for the price. Also, they are concerned about quality over quantity in their buffet, which means a lot. read more

This place does not have a huge variety of food. Worst taste ever for Chinese. I take it this place caters to that area and the people in that neighborhood. Was disappointed and would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Not to good of a looking restaurant on the outside, or the inside either, but the place is clean, the staff is friendly and the food is ALWAYS hot and fresh. They do use msg, but that's okay, we only eat here once or twice a month. The selection is "small" compared to some of the new, bigger places, but the food taste awesome. Check em' out! read more

The food is okay here. I would only recommend if you are looking for a quick lunch. Not that much variety of foods to choose from its not a lot of money to pay for there lunch buffet. Nothing really interesting about this place. So this place is okay wouldn't recommend though if your looking for a good Chinese buffet with lots of food.! read more
