What Jade Ferry doesn't like about May's Garden Restaurant:
I do not write Google reviews often. But this restaurant definelty needs a 1 star . I would say it was the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It had no flavor whatsoever and they screwed up rice!! Its a Chinese restaurant how do you mess up rice!!! DO NOT GET FOOD HERE. You will regret it View all feedback. What Alena Sporer likes about May's Garden Restaurant:
Large Chinese plates for good old fashion Canadian style Chinese cuisine. The ribs were yum-tastic and the rice was beautiful. Hard to get the owners from their phones to get their attention, but otherwise friendly service. View all feedback.

Authentic Chinese food served 'family style'. The food here was quite good and offered a wide variety of options including many vegetarian dishes.

A comprehensive review of a Chinese restaurant in Ottawa reveals mixed feedback from diners. Some criticize the lack of flavor and portion sizes, as well as brusque service. However, others appreciate the traditional Chinese food offerings, such as dumplings and fried noodles. The Peking duck is highlighted as a standout dish by some, while others praise the value and consistency of the lunch specials. The ambiance is described as quiet and suitable for business discussions. Overall, the restaurant seems to offer a range of dishes that cater to different tastes, making it a decent option for those seeking classic Chinese cuisine in Ottawa's Chinatown.
