May Island Restaurant

Great Sushi & Asian dishes! Next to a 7-11 so had my doubts until we walked inside. It's small (think cozy) but the food is first rate. Service is good, prices are fair. You should eat here soon and come back often.

The best hole in the wall sushi in nova. We moved so it isn’t convenient anymore but every time we’re craving sushi we think about this place. The ambiance (or lack thereof) is what keeps this place a hidden gem…what looks like a gas station has fresh and very large sashimi and great rolls too…perfect for a big takeout order to take home to enjoy.

Wow! The best sushi I've had in my 5 years in NoVa! The sushi is flavor packed and has great texture. This place should be jam-packed with people, but somehow isn't. This makes the service super fast and personalized. They add extra touches and do a great job checking in on us. Need to come back soon!

I have eaten in the restaurant once and the food was delicious, the service also was great, it’s a sweet family owned place. It’s small and nothing fancy inside so kind of a hole in the wall, which is a plus in my mind - not trying too hard just good food. I was recently in charge of food for a dinner our church was having, and decided to have May Island cater since it is close by. I was a little nervous that food for 200 might be difficult for this small business and the quality might suffer. I did not need to worry though because they did an absolutely phenomenal job! The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and plentiful. Everyone was raving about it, asking me where I had ordered it from, and coming back for seconds! There was something for everyone, even the picky kids loved it. It was also an easy menu to work around some various food sensitivities and allergies. The staff were accommodating and wonderful to work with. We will definitely use them again for future events not to mention Sunday lunch after church!

May Island has been a local favorite for many years. The sushi lunch specials are delicious--fresh, well-prepared by an experienced sushi chef, and reasonably priced. The Chinese menu items are also noticeably fresher and more flavorful than another nearby carry-out. My husband loves egg drop soup and really enjoys May Island's version. The restaurant has a very low-key exterior, situated next to a convenience store. But inside it's nicely appointed so it's a cozy spot for lunch or an intimate dinner (they cannot accommodate large groups in-house). The service is always cheerful, friendly, efficient, and prompt. They won't leave you waiting for your food. Whenever someone requests a local sushi or Chinese food recommendation, I'm always happy to mention May Island.
