May’s Dim Sum

It was my first time trying May’s. I decided to try a meat bun and a vegetable bun. I liked that they shaped the buns differently, so it’s easy to tell them apart.
The oval one was the veggie. It had clear vermicelli noodles, mushrooms, onions, not sure what else, as I ate it too quickly. :) the flavors were pretty good.
The round one was the meat. It was a clump of meat inside, not loose ground meat, but this isn’t a bad thing. The flavor was really good.
The dough had a great consistency, comparing well to many NYC Chinese bakeries that make buns. Slight chewiness, and the slightest touch of sweetness, if you’re looking for it.
I would totally have these again. It’s street food, easy to eat while walking. Looking forward to trying the dumplings next time.

I found the couple running the truck pleasant enough, though as Harjit mentioned, the woman’s spoken English is pretty weak.
I’ve had the dumplings here a few times. They’re good, but not great. The wrapper is a bit thick, though maybe it’s just simply due to the fact I’ve always had the Japanese equivalent of «potstickers». The filling is good, but not super flavorful, though this could be masked by the large amount of dough. I’ve had them both fried and steamed and to be honest, I’m more of a fan of the steamed version. However, I’ve gotten the fried ones at times for some reason I couldn’t understand. (I’ve always requested steamed ones, but sometimes she’ll give me fried ones?)
I don’t make a habit of coming out here, but it’s good for a quick and cheap lunch. Don’t balk at the $ 5 for 5 dumplings price tag, they’re about the size of my fist. It’s really a good meal.

May’s is kinda a strange beast. They’re the new kids where food trucks on the UVM campus is concerned. It’s a husband and wife team, where the husband cooks and the wife handles the service side. Her spoken English is very, very weak, and there are often misunderstanding on orders and it can often be a challenge to communicate. They specialize in meat and vegetable buns and also offer other items such as General Tso’s Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Lo-​Mein, etc.
Quite often than not, they run out of menu items very early and then try to piece-​meal stuff to get by. It’s not that they are overly busy, it’s just that they don’t stock up enough and anticipate the rush. Service can be slow and long, so if you don’t have the patience to wait a while, then get here before the lunch rush starts and before students are let out of classes. I would recommend the meat buns, which are 4 for $ 5.
