May Ya

Everytime I call in for an order to go, the lady is so friendly and helpful. My mother always craved chinese food when she was pregnant. I wonder if that’s rubbed off on me, because I sure love it!! I crave it. The vegetables are so good. Thanks MayYa.

Very poor service and when I asked to change my soup I was told no I think that’s pretty crazy the food came fast but the bbq pork tasted like it was bad it was very tangy with a very disgusting after taste I wouldn’t allow my family to finish there food so all in all big waste of $ 60 won’t be back

Very rude, served expired wines. And the food was terrible. Tried to offer with waitress to only pay half since we didint eat any of it and weren’t taking it home and she said no. Will never go back.

This place is horrible! Years ago it used to be good but my husband and I went there tonight and we will NEVER go there again. The food was disgusting. The oil that the food was cooked in must been so old and tasted burnt and greasy. Very salty. Needless to say we didn’t eat our food. And what we did try gave us upset stomachs. Also this restaurant is very dirty, of hate to see what the kitchen looks like. Ewwww

I love this place! The staff is always friendly! The portions are huge and picture worthy every time! My girlfriend and I have been coming here for years and will continue to!

This may be long, sorry.
Please NEVER eat at Mayas in sedro woolley. I picked up a to go order and came home to feed my husband and two small children. Immediately my husband noticed his chicken wasn’t cooked. I tried a bite and spit it out. I went in asking for a refund because my chicken wasn’t cooked. The cook proceeded to yell in my face, which quickly turned into screaming refusing to give me a refund but said he would give me a new one. I denied wanting anything else from Mayas. All I wanted was my money back. Once I said no, he came back full force screaming with spit flying everywhere with his finger in my face. Customers were coming in to eat and we’re witnessing this. One lady’s child was so scared she covered his ears and literally ran out. Once the cook saw this, he continued to scream saying now I am making his customers leave. I NEVER once yelled, used any profanity, or got into anyone’s face. I said I would be glad to leave as soon as I got my money back. He refused. I offered to only got a refund on the chicken, but still pay for the rice, soup, and chow mein. He still proceeded to scream. He then continued to scream saying that I am the ONLY customer complaint he has EVER had while being a cook and in business. By then I was ready to give up and leave, but my husband works very hard for his money and we were out 25.00 so I felt I should get a refund for the UNCOOKED chicken. Another customer came in with two children in the midst of him yelling and screaming and they scurried out as fast as they could. This made him even angrier and in my face to the point where I was in tears. I was shaking and scared. My phone was dead, so I asked them to call the police. They said okay and ran to the back. A few minutes later an officer came into the building and asked where the «uncontrollable customer» was. I waved my hand while crying and he was in shock. Apperently, Mayas told the officer that I was out of control and had a weapon. I did not have any weapons on me. Just a dead cell phone, my car keys, and my ID. The officer took me outside and asked what happened and I explained the story. The officer could clearly tell i was shooken up and did not have any weapons. He ran my information and left me outside with another officer while he went inside to talk with the cook. The officer came out explaining he couldnt force the business to refund me but I received 10.00 $ refund for a 25.00 meal. By then I was more focused on how the cook handled the situation and was terrified of him. I am thankful I asked them to call the police to come.
I’d like to state again that I never once yelled, screamed, or used any profanity. This all happened so quickly that yes, I should of just left but there I was stuck thinking of how hard my husband works for his money and now we were out of 25.00 and dinner.
I will NEVER eat there again. It was only my 3^rd time in a 5 year span and thankfully my last. I WILL be calling the health department tomorrow and I ask that you all avoid this restaurant because of the terrifying experiance I had AND because of the food that wasn’t cooked. If you had a good experiance there in the past, then great. However this was mine over simply asking for a small refund. Instead of giving me 15 $ back, he ended up causing his customers that came in to leave which he could of got their business and their money. Talk about bad customer service and business management.

Filthy, dirty, gross, undercooked, rude. Never coming back! Go anywhere else besides May Ya!

This place used to be really good but they must be under new ownership because my most recent experience was totally disgusting! I will never go back. The filling in the pot stickers and wontons is of unknown origin (soft pink goop which tastes somewhat fishy) and the grease, omg the grease. I squeezed a potsticker and grease just oozed out! The Mongolian beef was beef in brown gravy with some extra grease. The sweet and sour prawns and pork was greasy even for fried food. What I managed to eat made me feel like I gained 40 pounds, I was still feeling the effects days later. Just gross.

Experience was nearly exactly the same as previous reviewer David V., except we ate in. The food was extremely salty. We kindly tried to say that is was overly salted and were met with a pretty harsh response from the waitress. We were told that we could switch our dish out for another but that nothing would be removed from our bill. The food and service was bad enough that we weren’t willing to try another dish. The manager, who appears to also be the chef, actually came out and YELLED at us telling us that he has never had a complaint before and we were just making it up. Umm really? We were forced to pay for the whole meal, which we couldn’t even eat.

I remember eating here when I was younger and thinking it was pretty decent, but I recently ordered takeout and there were several problems with my order and the service I received.
1) Most of the food was so salty that it was difficult to eat,
2) I ordered one dish without carrots, and it came with carrots in addition to be flavorless. In fact, where everything else was so salty as to be off-​putting, this dish was devoid of any seasoning at all,
3) Three of the dishes I ordered contained carrots. In all three, the carrots had clearly gone off. They were brown/​black, pliable, and generally unappealing to look at.,
4) When my aunt picked up the food, the staff refused to give her more than one ~1.5 oz. tub of chili sauce even though we ordered at least 6 dishes.,
5) When my mother called to let them know that we were dissatisfied with our food, the staff repeatedly insisted that no one else had complained and that we were making it up. When we offered to come in and show them the rotten carrots we received, they hung up. When we called back, they hung up again.
I’m not sure what kind of business model these people are using, but it is exceedingly faulty and absolutely does not make me want to return or give them any more of my money.

We stopped in on our way to Deming hoping for a nice dinner. We were pleasantly surprised! The chow mein was amazing. Vegetables were so fresh and crisp, and the fried rice was very good as well. We will definitely stop by again on our next drive through.

I agree wholeheartedly with reviewer, Denice R. and couldn’t have said it any better. if you’re looking for five star chinese cuisine, try Seattle. You’re not going to find it in Sedro Woolley, or anywhere in Skagit County for that matter. However, the owners of this place put their heart and soul into it and that should count for something. The food is good — not out of this world fantastic –but genuinely good. It’s not like you have to force yourself to eat it just to support small business. It’s good comfort food served by people who are very kind and thoughtful, make the effort to learn their customer’s names and tastes, and keep the place clean and pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend it based on those merits.

They are always pleasant and friendly when you come in. The food is good. They are a Sedro staple for a reason. A guilty little pleasure.

I don’t profess to be any aficionado in Chinese cuisine or even Chinese-​American cuisine but I can hold my own in areas of cleanliness, customer service, friendliness, and basic math, and May Ya ranks highly in all three of these areas in my book.
I’m told they’ve been in business in this same Sedro Woolley location for 25 years and no one can deny that’s amazing in a small rural town that was much smaller 25 years ago. So no matter what anybody says about authenticity of their «Chinese» food, they’ve clearly been receiving the support of their customers for a long time. They’re stayed in business when others haven’t. Case closed.
They have a handful of daily lunch specials for $ 4.99 and $ 5.99. We’re talking real food, not the fast-​food catastrophe of Micky D’s or Jack or or the King. Dinner prices are definitely reasonable.
The service is friendly and gracious. If you’re a regular they’re glad to see you and will greet you by name. Their complimentary hot tea is dark and bold, not clear and weak.
I’m definitely a fan.

I don’t usually opt to eat Chinese food when dining out, but this restaurant was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. It wasn’t greasy like you usually get at other places, but instead you get well seasoned authentic Chinese food that’s good for it’s price.
This restaurant also has friendly and attentive waitresses and staff, something that is just as important as the food itself.
In particular, the hot and sour soup stands out, and they serve really good tea… not that bland stuff you get at other places.
I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives or is visiting the area. :)

Okay so I should preface by saying we just moved here from Los Angeles where the Chinese food is abundant, cheap and easily found, in addition, I am Chinese and grew up eating Chinese food. I do understand that this is NOT LA and my expectations were low for this place. But even with the consideration for its location, I just don’t have anything good to say about the food. Everything I tasted was over salted and the soup over starched. I had maybe a few bites before I just didn’t think it was worth the calories. I definitely wouldn’t go again or recommend to anyone. I am just sorry that in a small town where it’s hard to find Chinese food, the Chinese owners of the restaurant doesn’t at lesat make an effort to make something that is remotely Chinese.

Just your general American/​Chinese food. Nothing special here. However, this is Sedro Woolley so nothing special is more then you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. The staff here is very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and neat. Prices are reasonable.
