    Good food. Great price. I'm a big fan of the bbq pork fried rice. They make it just how I like it and that's hard to find. The lunch portions are great and I enjoy the General Tso's chicken though sometimes it can be just a tad on the dry side. They are always really fast and friendly. Ma's is a regular go-to at our work place.

    Visit three. Will never eat there again.  We had chicken that was so hard and crunchy it's not something you can consume.  I have tried I will be looking for new places in the area.  Staff was friendly.  But food not.  

    Visit two.  The food was not edible.   We ordered for a work lunch.  We threw the food out because no one can eat it.  Will try three strikes. So will add my next meal here.  .   Ne

    Ok Chinese food is very diverse.  I like the egg roll was just way to greasy like drowning.  But had a nice flavor after I rang it out in paper towel. The sesame chicken was a lil leather like. Sauce was good but the chicken was smaller pieces with not much meat.  Some of my friends had other stuff and liked it the spice level was just right.  Will try again always give it a fair chance.

    Most Chinese fast food restaurants will have a problem with their fried rice. It was undercooked and it tasted crunchy. However, this is an exception, because their fried rice was perfect and used little oil. I ordered Kung Pao beef and the portion was more than enough. The taste is very typical Chinese fast food restaurants, but the fried rice is far better than the others. I would come back to check out other dishes on their menu.

    I've had egg rolls at Ma's in past and they are pretty good, that's what keeps this above a two star review.

    Lunch special comes up short.
    Ordered Kung Pao chicken.
    It is a large amount of food with lots of vegetables. (Celery & peppers)
    Taste pretty good with a nice amount of heat.  
    The special comes alongside a LARGE order of chicken fried rice. The fried rice is OK,  a little bit dry, just way too much.

    You get a boat load of that stuff but no egg roll with the lunch special.

    Order of egg rolls come in set of 2 and cost about four bucks. Now my tummy is happy but I have a ton of extra food and spent way more money for lunch that I was supposed to.

    The best thing you guys have going is your egg roll.  Please save yourself some rice, charge me an extra dollar or two and throw in an egg roll with the lunch special.

    Just keep me under 10 bucks for lunch or my wife's going to kill me.

    Take out only.
    Good food, and huge portions.
    Egg rolls are also large.

    Nothing fancy here, but it is what it is:  Great place to go and pickup a large amount of food for a small amount of money.
