Keeping in mind that this is not fancy Chinese food, Mayflower is great, especially for the price. It is take out/delivery only and is better than you would expect for this kind of restaurant. Plus, the people are very friendly and happy to accommodate special requests. A couple of things: Sometimes the beef and broccoli has been broccoli with some beef. Order extra. If you want enough sauce to cover the rice, you should ask for extra. But on the whole, there is a reason they have been around forever. My daughter, now 32, went there a lot when she was in middle school.

Great place for Asian food. Everything is delicious and service was super fast and easy. Online ordering is very easy and straightforward. Fried rice is delicious and lo mein is delicious too.

Really good, it’s the best in the area! I got general tso tofu and sautéed vegetables and it was so yummy!

Not the best Chinese food, but, in a pinch, it satisfies. The lady who takes orders is always willing to substitute vegetables for me and my food is always ready to pickup within 15 mins of ordering. The Mayflower is a great neighborhood standby Chinese takeout. If you can lower your expectations, you'll be happy with their offerings.

Best affordable food around town. My most frequent go lunch place.
One of the best carry outs in nw dc for Chinese food. Love the beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, and the wings! They have good proportions and make it pretty quickly. Definitely worth trying for a dinner or lunch at
Ordered the combination fried rice. Wasn't seasoned at all. Tasted like they boiled all of their meats.. Crisp and Juicy's Arrozs Chauffa, up the street by Mama Joons. Gives you the same portion plus flavor for a little less.

I found my new addiction, the boneless spare ribs at Mayflower! The flavor and quality is top notch, and the food is always served hot and fresh. I’m so glad this place is right by my work, it makes an easy dinner to pick up and take home.

Their mumbo sauce be a funky bright orange but it still smackin. The steamed dumplings are also the move

Haven't been here in over a decade! Wings still GREAT! The spicy I asked for in my combination lo mein was on point, but the rest of the flavor was a little lacking. If you're looking for ambience, this is not the spot, but definitely worthy of repeat for takeout.
Food is ok and service sucks! My husband and I were loyal customers who ordered food often. However, tonight I ordered dinner online and never received it. I called the restaurant and the lady took my number and said the manager would call back but she never did. I ended up having to go to the restaurant to inquire about my order. At the restaurant, the Lady acted as though I didn't even order from the restaurant. I told her what I ordered and she basically said maybe I ordered from another location saying, "I don't have your order" and in a rude kind of way. I showed her the confirmation number. Only then did she realize that I did place an order. No apology was given for assuming that I didn't order from the restaurant. She then said that door dash picked it up and that I had to call door dash to sort it out. I didn't mind that I had to reach out to door dash, it was just the way I was treated and with no apology and my call was never returned. I will never be ordering again from this restaurant just based on the principle of the issue.

Not sure where all the poor reviews are coming from? I ordered the the bone basic General Tso's combination and a couple of eggrolls. Food was as expected for takeout, chicken was actually crispy which I appreciated. It was flavorful, well portioned and packaged. The egg rolls were crispy and nice sized. Delivery was timely, so no issues at all for me. I will definately order again.

Don’t let the look of this place fool you. It’s small but delicious. The only thing I don’t like from this place is the broccoli but who really eats the veggies that come with the meat anyway? The portions are phenomenal. I always have leftovers the next day. Delivery is quick and they will call you if they don’t have something you ordered.

The last two times I ordered from here I paid online and included tips, when the food was delivered I had my thirteen year old son go downstairs to meet the driver and collect the food. Both times the driver yelled at my son the first time for asking if duck sauce was in the bag and this time because my phone died, I put my phone on the charger and as soon as it turned back on it told me there was five missed calls for two minutes ago and called the number back immediately twice and there was no answer. My son ran downstairs to see if the food was left in the building vestibule since the driver did not answer the phone. When my son got downstairs the driver yelled at him for not picking up the phone, my son apologized and told him that our phone died and we called back immediately several times and there was no answer, he continued to yell at my son about not picking up the phone and not trying to hear what he had to say. Thankfully a kind neighbor came into the building and witnessed him hounding my son and told him not to talk to a child like that. Due to a recent surgery I am bedridden for 6 months and unable to go up and down stairs for this reason. I like the food however I cannot tolerate this despicable behavior towards my son, who has to help take care of me when he gets out of school and still get good grades. We will not order from here again and when I’m able to walk in the near future I will pay the restaurant a visit to tell them why they lost valuable customers like us.
