" I visit Ma’s regularly, and the quality is usually quite good. The portion sizes are definitely a plus when I'm looking for a hearty meal. One of my favorites is the Mongolian beef, but it can be hit or miss regarding the flavor. I've had it demoralizingly bland at times, yet it remains my go-to dish. The staff are generally polite but can be overwhelmed during peak hours, which has led to slower service occasionally. Overall, a solid place to grab takeout if you’re in the mood for Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the chicken lo mein, and it was delicious! The noodles were cooked well, and the chicken was tender. The portion was more than enough for one person – I had leftovers for lunch the next day. My only complaint was that the atmosphere isn't great for dining in since it’s takeout only. Regardless, I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on a quest for great Chinese food and stumbled across Ma's this past weekend. The garlic chicken was amazing – so flavorful! The ambiance is cozy, perfect for carryout, and the staff was really friendly. They serve such big portions that I had leftovers for lunch the next day. If you haven’t tried their egg rolls yet, do yourself a favor and don't miss them! Will I be back? Oh yes, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the sesame chicken, which was slightly overcooked for my liking, but still tasty. The fried rice was just okay, lacking that smoky flavor I typically enjoy. Good portions though! I’ve been coming here for years, and despite some inconsistencies, I still find it worth my money. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best lunch special in town for sure! The portions are huge, and I've never been disappointed with the quality. I've had their beef and broccoli multiple times, and it's become my go-to. Highly recommend calling ahead during busy hours as it can get crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here based on a friend's recommendation and returned for the second time this weekend. I tried their Kung Pao shrimp, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and I loved the balance of heat from the chili peppers. Portions are massive! The only downside is that you can’t try, so it's best for takeout. Still, I highly recommend this joint! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Chinese takeout in the area! You can count on Ma's for great quantities and satisfying food. My kids love the dumplings, and I enjoy their orange chicken. I love the fact they don't use MSG and focus on quality. I recommend calling ahead, as it tends to get busy. " (*Curated Review*)
