⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Steve Samuelson
Great food. Been eating at House of Ma for more than 40 years. Best eggrolls of any I have had anywhere. Say hello to Alice if you visit this restaurant. Only gave the atmosphere 4 stars because it could be updated. We have done dine in and carry out both.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Lucas Moody
Alice is incredible and we love eating here. Beef in foil, combo fried rice and mandarin chicken. One of favorite things is going in and sitting at the round table with the large lazy Susan in the middle. Order a bunch of things and share with friends.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Keith Mushock
This has been out favorite restaurant for Chinese food for 40 years! The food is consistently good. They have the best egg flower soup, egg rolls, fried rice and beef in foil. We have NEVER found subgum dishes anywhere as well prepared as they are here. The vegetables are perfectly diced cooker but still fresh crisp and the sauces are well seasoned-deliciousness. The prices are reasonable and the servings are enough to take home leftovers. We have move away from Emporia but still drive an hour to enjoy a meal here.
