About

May Palace is a Chinese restaurant on the North Frontage Road in West Vail, and it will bring dinner to your door. Orders go through its own website for pickup or delivery, seven days a week.

It suits condo and home-rental stays, families after a long ski day, and arrival nights when nobody wants to drive back into the village.

What to order

The menu covers Chinese-American standards and a good run of dumplings and buns: Shanghai soup dumplings (xiao long bao), shrimp har gow, pork dumplings steamed or pan-fried, barbecue pork buns and Vietnamese spring rolls. There are house specialties, fusion dishes, moo shu with crepes and hoisin, noodles and fried rice, and entrées come with steamed rice. Gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu.

Lunch and dinner

A separate lunch menu runs in the early afternoon, and the all-day menu covers the evening. Takeout hours are posted on the ordering site; the exact times are in the FAQ below.

Where it is

May Palace is at 2109 North Frontage Road West, on the north side of Interstate 70 in West Vail, on the same stretch of road as Safeway. That makes it an easy add-on to an arrival-day grocery run. Alpine Wine & Spirits shares the same address, if the evening calls for a bottle to go with the takeout.

Before you order

In peak holiday weeks, ordering before the dinner rush is the safer plan. If you plan to eat in, call first: the restaurant's website describes pickup and delivery but does not say whether dine-in seating is currently offered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does May Palace deliver, and how do I order?
Yes. May Palace delivers, and orders for delivery or pickup are placed through the restaurant's own website, maypalacetogo.com; it is not on DoorDash or the other delivery apps on current evidence. The restaurant does not publish its delivery area, fee, or minimum outside the ordering checkout, so confirm your address at checkout or call (970) 476-1657 before you count on delivery to an outlying condo. In peak holiday weeks, order before the dinner rush.
What are the hours of May Palace in Vail, and is it open on Tuesdays?
The restaurant's own ordering site lists takeout hours of 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Sunday, and that includes Tuesdays. Older pages for the restaurant, including its previous website, showed it closed on Tuesdays, and the Fall 2024 town restaurant list did too; the current site and the Spring 2026 town guide both show it open daily. The lunch menu runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
What is on the May Palace menu, and what should I order?
Chinese-American standards plus a strong dumpling and bun run and dishes from Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The dishes reviewers and regulars keep naming are the Shanghai soup dumplings (xiao long bao, $13.75), pork dumplings steamed or pan-fried ($13.75), Mongolian beef, orange chicken, Thai coconut curry, pad Thai, and hot and sour soup ($4.25). The full menu, with lunch and all-day sections, is on the restaurant's ordering site, linked from this page's sources.
What do reviews say about May Palace?
Reviews split sharply by platform, so take them with their sources attached. As of October 2026, Google rates May Palace 3.9 out of 5 from 426 reviews; Yelp rates it 2.8 from 139 reviews; Restaurantji aggregates 3.8 from 208 ratings. It is Vail's longstanding Chinese takeout, and the pattern in the reviews matches that: praised as the valley's reliable Chinese delivery, criticised when dine-in-era expectations meet a pickup and delivery operation.
Can I eat in at May Palace, or is it takeout and delivery only?
Plan on takeout or delivery. The restaurant's current website describes pickup and delivery only and offers no dine-in booking. That is a change from its history: Google's profile describes May Palace as serving dine-in and takeout meals since 1987, and its previous website ran a dining room with a Sunday lunch buffet. If eating in matters to your plans, call (970) 476-1657 and ask whether seating is being offered that day.
What does a meal cost at May Palace?
Mid-range for Vail, which here means genuinely moderate. On the current online menu, pork dumplings and xiao long bao are $13.75, crab rangoon is $10.50, and hot and sour soup is $4.25. Entrées come with steamed white rice included, with brown rice for $2.50 or fried rice for $3.50 extra. The restaurant labels itself $$ and Google's panel labels it $10-20; lunch, which runs to 4 p.m., is the value end of the day.
Are there gluten-free or vegetarian options at May Palace?
Yes to both. Gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu: the verified examples are the Vietnamese spring rolls, egg flower soup, edamame, and Tom Yum soup, and the menu's marking system extends to several curries and stir-fries. For vegetarian dishes, look to sesame tofu, Thai basil tofu, mixed vegetables, broccoli with garlic sauce, and vegetable lo mein and fried rice. Marked means marked by the restaurant, not certified, so tell the restaurant about a serious allergy when you order.
Where is May Palace, and where do I park for pickup?
At 2109 North Frontage Road West, Suite A, in West Vail, on the north side of Interstate 70 at exit 173, on the same stretch of road as Safeway and next to City Market. Alpine Wine & Spirits shares the address. For pickup there is a surface lot at the building (Yelp lists lot parking, validated). It is an easy add-on to an arrival-day grocery run in West Vail.
How long has May Palace been in Vail, and does it still do the Sunday lunch buffet?
A long time: Google's profile says May Palace was founded in 1987 and has served Chinese meals in Vail since, which makes it one of the valley's longest-running restaurants and its resident Chinese restaurant. The Sunday lunch buffet (11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on its previous website, $17.95 for adults) is part of that history: it is not listed on the restaurant's current ordering site, so do not plan a Sunday around it without calling (970) 476-1657 first. The same applies to the full bar and happy hour its older pages describe.
