The server was the only one working but she got our order out fast and was so nice. The food was absolutely delicious.
This place is permanently closed, just stop by it was empty
Food is ok, but when you ask for no pepper, it is still spicy. Make sure they are clear what you order when you order otherwise you may end up paying for food you didn't order. Language barrier and lack of experience. I would go again but will be specific about my order. The cashew chicken was the better option. Portions are large and definitely can be shared.
Oh one more important thing, if you don't want tea, make sure you tell them or they will find an excuse to charge you...read full review

Ma's House Chinese Halal offers a unique and authentic Chinese halal dining experience in San Diego. The restaurant is known for its flavorful dishes, generous portions, and friendly atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the large portions that are perfect for sharing or enjoying as leftovers. Popular menu items include beef dishes, fresh noodles, beef stew noodle soup, beef rolls, green onion sesame bread, moo-shu chicken, and the thick sesame green onion bread, which is often praised as the best of its kind and worth trying even for those from Northern China. The sesame pancake and bread are especially recommended and can be enjoyed over multiple days.
While the food consistently impresses with its quality and richness, some reviews note issues with service and language barriers. Customers advise being specific when ordering to avoid misunderstandings, such as paying for green tea when not requested or dealing with spicy dishes when no pepper is desired. Despite occasional staffing challenges, staff efforts are appreciated, and the overall experience remains positive. The casual and welcoming environment, combined with the authentic halal Chinese cuisine, makes Ma's House a recommended spot for those seeking flavorful food with large portions in a friendly setting.
