Excellent Chinese food!! Initially opted for another one but they wouldn’t accommodate changes. Went to this one just down the road and so glad we did. So helpful and really lovely people. Just need to be patient with English understanding. Food was fantastic!! Chicken balls were sublime! Thank you for making our evening great again!!

Food is fantastic and a great size! We ordered the A5 set meal for 5 people, to feed 6 people and we have left overs! Service is excellent. What a wonderful little takeaway. Highly recommend to anyone near by, or coming to stay! We moored our boat at Stalham, and it’s just 4 mins down the road!

We have had takeaway from here many times the food is always fresh and tasty. With good ingredients. Order by phone as it's often a 30-minute wait.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
When you have three Chinese takeaways next door to each other it says something. Not sure what, other than this town likes Chinese food? Anyway having tried all three May Sum has to be the best value for money. Food tastes great. Was freshly cooked and the staff were really friendly. Even came with the obligatory free prawn crackers and three fortune cookies.

We're staying near Stalham on holiday. We walked through Stalham last night, looking for a takeaway. Okay the outside isn't up to much, but the staff welcome was spot-on and a sign of things to come. We ordered and then waited. The food was fresh and hot, and really good. No grease or oil, lots of flavour and texture. Would happily order again, if/when we're back in the area.

PERFECT FOOD! Literally come to sea palling just out of stalham regularly. Fancied a cheeky Chinese for tea found this little gem of a takeaway. Doesn't look much from the outside but my gosh the food is "chefs kiss" so full of flavour and fantastic value for money! Will definitely be a regular feature to our holidays 😉.

One of our favourite Chinese takeaway meals ever!
On a weekend break in Stalham, my wife and I decided to order a takeaway one evening. There was quite a choice as there are 3 Chinese takeaway restaurants (nearly) next to each other on Stalham High Street. We looked at various reviews and decided to order here as they offered some favourite dishes the others didn't (crispy chilli beef and Szechuan prawns), despite some not-so-great reviews - mainly related to portion size and waiting time.
I cannot understand these poor reviews, as our experience was outstanding!
We arrived at the shop on Sunday evening around 6.30pm. From placing the order, the takeaway was handed to us in about 10 minutes.
We were back at our rented chalet within another 5 or so minutes and the food was still lovely and hot and absolutely full of flavour. The portions were huge, especially the egg fried rice and Singapore chow mein! We both ate our fill and there was enough left for a light meal each for the following evening.
I would recommend giving the May Sum a try. We will definitely be back when we return to Stalham.Owner response

This place has improved and is now better than before. The reason is things move on to change so I hope everybody would give this a try if you think about it it's hard to make an restaurant 5 ratings so that's why people try harder along the way of making an successful place if any place is terrible to you think about how well it will improve in the future but that is only possible if you give it a chance so that it could be what you want it to be. If this review is helpful to you then I advise you to rate this place 2 or higher. If you miss the old may sum or any place then as I keep saying things move on and you should enjoy what surprises life will bring to you.Owner response
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
