This was one of the best Tibetan food I ever had. All the food here was Halal so my friend was able to enjoy it. Let me tell you the food was delicious and the service here was superior. My friend said the food was exquisite, the ambiance was delightful, and the service was exceptional! You must try the lamb skewer.

We recently went to this restaurant for lunch and were impressed by the serene ambiance. We ordered the handmade noodles, which were incredibly delicious. It's rare to find a place that makes traditional hand-pulled langman. The sauce was excellent, and their sweet and sour soup is to die for. I will definitely return with friends and family. They truly deserve a 5-star review.

Party of four went to Ma's kitchen for a Sunday lunch. The restaurant is spacious, modern, and welcoming vibe. We are immediately welcome and seated as there are plenty of table's available. The waitress tries to take our orders right away, but she didn't ask if we needed water. Service is adequate, waitress is friendly, but it's lacking. Other people have to help. As for food, we order lots for two adults and two kids. Lamb leg polov: lamb chop rice: lamb is tasty but unfortunately the smell in rice is strong my kids don't eat them and I finish it alone. TFried beef dumplings, comes out as one piece and you have to break them. Beef inside smells strong, and kids and other adult only tried one and I finish the rest. The highlight of this restaurant is the handmade noodles! We order the tradition hand-pulled langman. Sauce is good and we added more noodles because it tastes so good like 5 stars! Samsa is grilled lamb wrap, lamb is too strong I finished most of them. Adult only try a piece. Overall service is 3 ; the food is definitely unique and acquired taste.

Ma's Kitchen is a a hidden gem in Rowland Heights. They specialize in Chinese halal food, specifically authentic Xinjiang cuisine. They use tons of spices to flavor their food and it's amazing! Some of my favorite items were the chicken plate with the freshly hand-pulled noodles, the lamb siumai, and the lamb kebabs. Definitely a different flavors, but not gamey at all! I'd lamb isn't for you, you can also substitute in with beef. The restaurant itself is huge and beautifully decorated. Customer service is top tier as well. All of the questions I had were answered and the food came out super fast! Definitely a must when you're in the area

Absolutely delicious food, unique menu items, fun vibes, and excellent service - our party of 5 had a wonderful experience here for our Saturday lunch meetup! Meals are served family style with generous portions. Their sauces are complex, savory and pair very well with their uniquely dense Naan bread. We tried their house special Big Plate Chicken with their hand-pulled flat noodles, the Style Steak, Dry Pot Cauliflower, Lamb Skewers, Steamed Lamb & Spices, Fried Lettuce, and their homemade Naan bread. This was way more than enough for the 5 of us - we had quite a bit of leftovers actually lol. The Big Plate Chicken is a giant, deep plate full of generous bite-sized chicken thigh pieces and veggies stewed in a slightly spicy red sauce - we added several portions of their hand-pulled flat noodles to it and I highly recommend- it's incredible and takes it over the top. Normally I don't care for chicken thighs bc of the texture but this dish was an exception- the texture was perfect. And their noodles are some of the best I've had in the area. This was my fave dish of the meal! The Style Steak was my second fave - it's a hearty plate of giant beef ribs. The meat is so tender it just falls right off the bone and it's covered in fresh herbs, spices, and finely chopped onions/peppers/onions etc - it was so flavorful. Also highly recommend this dish. We tried two of their lamb dishes - the skewers/kebabs and the hand-cut "steamed" lamb. I'm also not typically a fan of lamb, especially bc it can be quite "gamey" but their lamb dishes have won me over! The meat is tender, juciy, and had no gamey taste to it at all - just lovely! Their homemade Naan bread is not your typical Naan bread - it's quite dense and comes in thick patties but it's so perfect for dipping in their sauces - which adds another level of flavor to it - flawless combo. I recommend using it to dip in your saucy dishes bc I think it would be a bit dry by itself. Their Dry Pot Cauliflower was unique and I absolutely loved it - had a great flavor and was my third fave dish of the day. The fried lettuce dish was my least fave - the garlic sauce is wonderful but I just couldn't wrap my head around the warm, wilted lettuce - lettuce is a cold salad component to me lol. Cabbage would've been a much better veggie for this imo. The rest of our party loved it so this is just a personal preference thingy. They have indoor and outdoor seating - but the outdoor seating doesn't look like it has much shade so be aware. The vibes inside are fun and also unique - it's like Asian market meets Turkish style restaurant - very chic and entertaining- we thoroughly enjoyed our leisurely meal. Staff were beyond attentive and welcoming. They were very proactive and did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Prices are what you'd expect for the area but the portions are so generous I'd say prices are great for what you get. They're located in a large, busy plaza - there's lots of parking but it fills up. They weren't busy at all when we first arrived around 11am on a Saturday but it was chaos when we left so get there early. Our friends introduced us to this place and I'm so glad they did - bc it's marketed as a "Chinese halal" spot, I'm not sure it would've ever gotten on our radar otherwise lol. We will definitely be back for more of our faves and next time I must try their Samas!!

O M G!! Love this place. It was my first time trying Chinese turkish/Uyghur food and I am obsessed! They have handmade noodles, kebobs and skewers, and sansas (like little meat buns). Also they seem to be a family run establishment and everyone is soooo nice and friendly! Their lamb skewers were so good that I even took an order to go. Reasonably priced, cute decor, clean amenities. 10/10!

One of the benefits of living in Southern California is you get to explore the amazing diversity of cuisines! Ma's Kitchen brings to us Chinese Halal dishes from the remote Chinese province of XinJiang, a predominantly Islamic region 3 times the size of France! The decor proudly reflects their origin: lamps of rich variety of colors, paintings of Islamic rituals, etc. Staff was polite and attentive; patiently explained menu items to us. Meat dishes mostly are made with lamb; though at our request they changed some to beef. If you like gamy meats, you might like this place. But if you don't, you may want to stay with chicken dishes. We ordered their baked lamb dumplings, fried noodles, and the famous Big Plate Chicken. All very rich in flavor - some very spicy and salty. I love their handmade noodles; taste like pasta cooked al dente! Overall the cuisine is a bit too heavy for my taste but the dining experience is unique and fun! Situated in a large corner mall with plenty of free parking; but also lots of other stores and customers.
