Ma’s Kitchen Dim Sum Next Door

Ma’s Kitchen Dim Sum & Noodles is hands down some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in years — and that’s saying a lot. The Pepper Steak was phenomenal. The beef was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with bold, savory flavor. The peppers and onions were fresh with just the right amount of crunch, and the sauce was rich without being overly heavy. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The dumplings? Next level. Soft, perfectly steamed, and full of juicy, flavorful filling. You can tell they’re made with care — not rushed, not greasy, just authentic and delicious. They were the perfect complement to the entrée. Beyond the food, the service was friendly and welcoming, and even the to-go presentation was adorable and well done. It’s rare to find a spot that nail

Went to try out the newly opened Ma’s Kitchen Dim Sum & Noodles on Colfax. The restaurant was in an old building, not far from the hospitals and high school in this area. There's a shared parking lot with a few other restaurants nearby. While the spots aren't plentiful, it's better than nothing, and street parking was readily available nearby. The restaurant featured a red color scheme—walls and chairs are all red, giving it a distinctly Chinese feel. Ordered the braised beef noodle soup, clay pot eggplant, and Singaporean butter prawns, Xiao Long Bao, coconut buns, braised pork ribs, shu mai, shrimp and spinach dumplings, wood ear mushroom salad, dim sum combination with shrimp dumplings, shu mai, steamed pork buns, pork and mushroom dumplings, and veggie egg rolls, coconut milk pudding a

Even though I miss the previous restaurant at this location, I am more than happy Ma’s Kitchen is here now! It is cozy, casual and comforting the moment you walk in. We wanted to try everything on the menu! The seaweed salad, wood ear mushroom salad and chilled bitter melon were great starters. Especially the wood ear mushroom salad, I could have eaten all of it. Although the bitter melon was bitter, the sweet syrup that comes with it really helps cuts the bitterness and we enjoyed the new experience. The spicy xo xiao long buns (soup dumplings), vegetable, and shrimp, pork and scallop dumplings were delicious. The signature steamed pork buns, BBQ buns, and vegetable buns were fresh, soft, and much bigger than we expected. The fried sesame balls are classic and always a sweet treat. Ser

There are a few standout items and the rest were very mediocre. The daikon radish cakes are delicious. They come deep fried and have great flavor. The eggplant is also very good. Everything else we had was distinctly meh. The butter prawns were deep fried but not enough to make the shells easy to eat. Tough shells and moderate flavor. The soup dumplings were nothing of note. The twice cooked pork was thin pieces of stir fried bacon. I don't think this place is worth the wait or the price overall.

Chili oil wonton was good but it wasn't hot or warm when it was brought to the table. Stir fried green beans was excellent 😋 👌definitely recommend it. Soup dumplings were good but the wrappers were too thick for me. Combination dumplings were ok. The place was busy but we didn't have to wait for the food which was a plus
