May Café - Albuquerque

It was good as always. We ordered the cube steak and udon noodle soup with shrimp. Both dishes were tasty, though nothing out of the ordinary. The soup contained four small shrimp. They do provide basil leaves for the soup, which weren't available during our last visit. The Thai tea, however, was excellent.

The Egg Drop Soup had both yolk and whites! The Combo Vermicelli Bowl was served on a plate instead of a traditional bowl, but that didn't take away from the incredible flavor of the fresh, perfectly cooked ingredients. I initially thought this was just a one-time occurrence, but I noticed plates being used in El Paso as well; perhaps it's a trend in the western part of the country!

I’ve been visiting May Cafe for over twenty-five years, and I’ve never been let down. I absolutely love the bun dishes, and I always make sure to order the Vietnamese coffee—it's delicious! It remains one of my favorites, and my mother loves it just as much!

I stopped by for lunch and found the experience to be underwhelming. The spring roll was mediocre—lacking fresh mint or cilantro, which was disappointing. The accompanying sauce could certainly use improvement; why not offer a peanut sauce instead of just a basic and inexpensive fish sauce? I also tried the Vietnamese sandwich, which was on the small side and the meat was chewy and not very fresh. Perhaps their other dishes are better; I’m hoping to give it another chance next time.

A fantastic dining option! The food was incredibly delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is also exceptionally friendly. We were very pleased with everything we tried.
