• May Wah!

One of my most missed places since leaving NYC! It is truly a necessity! It specializes in vegan (and a couple vegetarian) meats from Asia, and is quite big and expansive considering that's 99.9% of what they sell - just visit their website and you'll see the breadth of items which are only a limited selection of the items available in the actual shop. They are really affordable and a great alternative to the expensive American brands you find in the average supermarket. The quality exceeds the typical Western manufacturers vegan or vegetarian meats in my opinion. The stuff here is the same type they use at Red Bamboo (the restaurant) on West 4th Street. Though, in the 5+ years that I shopped at May Wah, I never got around to testing every last thing they sold - yet I did try most. I liked the vegan salmon the best. I also liked the vegan golden fish filet, the mushroom-based beef, the black pepper chicken steaks, rib tips, tuna, etc. The staff are very helpful, honest and usually enthusiastic to make suggestions. I'm glad to hear they're still going strong!
