The food is so good that they don't even need to offer free delivery. May, the lady who runs the place, is very helpful and accommodating. I always request no onions in my dishes, and she is always friendly about it. I would rate this place 10/10 every day.

However, today the chicken satay was watery and tasteless with no peanut flavor, resembling the consistency of baby food. The chicken curry was also disappointing. I would only consider eating here again if dog poop was the only other option. I am deeply disappointed. The old May King had delicious food with flavor. The new version needs to go back to the original standards.
