May Garden, Southbridge

Excellent Value! Good Chinese food at moderate prices. Has all the favorites, as well as a small Szechuan menu (including a nice Beef with scallions and a Korean Beef) for those who like it hotter, though you can specify how spicy or mild you want. For family members who aren't keen on Chinese food (or for picky children), they have a short American food menu (fried chicken, french fries, etc.) and some more local specialties, such as fried platanos de tostones (fried plantain), which I have yet to try. They have daily lunch specials ( most are $4.50 - $5.50, as of late 2008) and ongoing specials. There is a small sit-down restaurant area, and take-out is fast. Located next to the Big Bunny Market, this is a great mid-range restaurant.
