“ May Deli is Vietnamese and Sushi. There was a large selection of Sushi. Not as much for Vietnamese. I had the chicken with vermicelli. I'm used to vermicelli being rice vermicelli, so gluten free. But but I don't think this was. Ask if you need GF to be sure. I also had the crispy spring rolls. Both were good, but different from how it tastes in places in Alberta. There was a hint of a different spice I couldn't place in the chicken dish. I liked it, it was just different. They brought chopsticks that were metal. I'm get by with bamboo ones, but the metal were harder to keep hold of things. The lady noticed and brought me a knife and fork without my asking. My guest had crab sushi and said it good , just bigger than he is used to so it was a "big mouthful". It is small and seems very much a mom and pop place. There was a piano and a small bandstand, so the must have small events. ”
“ This small unassuming restaurant is serving fresh excellent food! Everything we ordered was great- fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, tuna poke and tempura shrimp. We also like that the restaurant is a bit off the beaten path on Queen St and away from the crowds. A great discovery for us p since it is just one block from the Sonata Inn where we are staying. Go here and you won't be disappointed!! ”
“ Wholesome family business with great tasting Vietnamese food and delightful service. I actually got a cute little performance from their kids practicing the piano whilst here! I was getting a bit over all the lobster rolls/burger and chips, so decided to come here - a little away from the tourist crowds along the waterfront and Queen St. The Chicken Pho/Chicken Noodle Soup was delicious, as were the Fried Vegetarian Spring Rolls and the Icecream with puréed avocado (definitely worth trying if you haven’t had it before). Also very affordable! Absolutely worth trying whilst in Charlottetown. ”
“ This place is completely underrated. I want to “gate keep” it because it’s that incredible. But here is the thing, If you go here you will return again, probably the next day and maybe even the next week straight. The chicken soup will heal your soul. I think everyone should have some may deli in their lives. The world would be a better place. Love you guys! ”
“ Great family-run restaurant just off the main strip. They are very friendly and seat you right away. Quiet environment with great food! We had poke bowls which were great portions and at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend this place if anyone is looking for an authentic Vietnamese meal! ”
“ As part of the new year, I am only going to dine at places I have never tried. First up was the May Deli. Nice spot. Very clean. Loved the door sensor welcoming. Service was great. The tuna and shrimp tempura poke bowl hit the spot. Worth checking out if you haven’t before. ”
“ We stayed at a nearby B&B and the first night we arrived it was rainy and cold. The chicken pho was excellent and really hit the spot. The hospitality of the owners was equally warm. We liked it so much that we went back the next night, too. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in on our 2nd evening in Charlottetown, visiting from British Columbia. Delightful family business. Everything screamed “Wholesome”. After ordering some items, I asked for one more, my eyes always being too big for my stomach. The fellow taking my order assertively cautioned “too much food for you”…I took his advice and was thankful! ”
