We have been lucky enough to know of May Wah for 34 years. It has maintained serving consistently yummy food for every one of the hundreds of meals my family has enjoyed. Its hard-working staff is always warm and welcoming which is rare to find these days, and Megan knows our family by name. I’ve been coming here so long I remember when Megan was working here as a little girl. Now she and her husband have their children occasionally working here too. It’s a true family-run restaurant that has survived and thrived through the many ups and downs of the restaurant business far longer than most in Boulder. If you love Asian food do yourself a favor and give May Wah a try.

Really amazing food and super attentive service! This might be some of the best Chinese food I’ve had across Colorado. Loved the Mongolian beef and someone else at my table got the sweet and sour chicken, which was unbelievably crunchy and flavorful.
