I stopped into Vail for a couple days for business, and wanted something close to my hotel so I didn’t have to drive in the snow. The gentleman that I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant, and I was very impressed with their website and easy navigation to order. Ordered both the Mongolian beef and the kung pao chicken plus the spring rolls. Picked up my food, and brought it back to my hotel. It was packaged well which is always a good sign. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients and great flavor! I’m pleased that I stumbled upon this great restaurant! Highly recommend to anyone picky about their Chinese food!
We were coming back from Vail Village, and looking for a place to eat that was not overpriced and with mediocre food. We read the reviews and despite the unfavorable opinion, we decided to give this place a chance. Food was delicious fresh variety of options, pleased the whole family. We ordered shrimp with vegetables, chicken lo mein, shrimp curry and shrimp dumplings. Each dish was delicious and we would definitely come back here when we’re back from Denver!
It's your classic Chinese spot with a great local bar atmosphere—quick pick-up time for to-go orders, with plenty of free parking. Get a dragon bowl you won't regret it, or maybe you will!
I had an incredible dining experience at May Palace! The Mongolian beef was absolutely perfect—tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich, savory sauce with just the right amount of sweetness. The balance of flavors and the tenderness of the meat made every bite delicious. Twice cooked pork was simply the best amazing Chinese food in Colorado The Thai coconut curry was another standout dish. Creamy, fragrant, and packed with bold flavors, it had just the right level of spice and a velvety texture that made it impossible to stop eating. The combination of fresh vegetables and protein in the curry soaked up all the goodness of the sauce beautifully. Beyond the food, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Whether you’re craving classic Chinese dishes or something with a Thai twist, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
The food is always great! Their hot and sour soup and sesame tofu are the best! The restaurant has been owned by the same family for 38 years and that really means something in Vail.
Clean restaurant with beautiful art. The waitresses were extremely helpful and accommodating. They provided speedy service and the food was great. Cleaned up a spill as soon as we let them know.
Classic American Chinese food joint that has some pan-Asian fare. We got and would recommend the vegetable tofu soup, szechuan beef (spicy!) and the mushu vegetables. They still use tablecloths and real napkins, and rice comes with every entree. If you're expecting the most authentic Chinese cuisine, I think you'll be disappointed. But, if you know what you're getting into, the portions are good, the food fresh and not overly salted, and the prices reasonable, especially for a place like Vail.
This is one of the best Chinese restaurants we've been to in years! The Dim Sum is fantastic. Great service and atmosphere. We highly recomend!
