Came here for lunch and had some excellent dim sum. The shrimp rolls were loaded with shrimp. The Xiaolongbao and the snow pea shoots and mushroom dumplings were juicy and delicious. The chicken spinach dumplings were also tasty but not as flavorful as the others. The Chongqing style griddle cooked chicken was a spicy and tasty side to really fill you up. The mango pudding was a lovely chilled dessert, but if you’re looking for a warm dessert red bean pancakes are a great option. Charmander is excited to go back and try other dishes on this fabulous menu!

I really like this place cause it has amazing food, the service provided was great, and the interior design of the restaurant was beautiful. I totally recommend whoever comes here to try this restaurant out! My group got four dishes, and I loved all of them. I forgot what it’s called in the menu but we got the Cantonese style noodles, eggplant and tofu in a pot, Dong Po pork, and fuqi feipian. All those were delicious!

I went to this restaurant for dinner and for lunch buffet the next day. I don't have high expection re a Chinese restaurant located in a small town in Niagara Falls ON region. The food quality is better than some Chinese restaurants even in Toronto. The dishes are not unusual to other Chinese restaurant but the taste is good for most of the dishes we ordered. Sometimes I can tell one or two dishes is not hot enough but in general very acceptable. The reason I went back the next day is that the restaurant have buffet lunch every Tuesday to Thursday, and I am curious to try. Dimsum can be ordered by piece so that I can try almost all different types of dimsum before I am stuffed. Again, the dimsums are quite good. The service staff is helpful and initiative. I noticed that most of the customers are not Asian, but this restaurant provides true Chinese food in the small town of St. Catherines is really unexpected. Asked one of the waitress on why the name of restaurant is MA, and the reply is 'MA' is the pronunciation of mother in Chinese. No wonder.

We have eaten here a number of times. The menu selection is huge, but every dish is always tasty. Overall, it is consistently good and a good value for money experience.

Really suggests for Chinese cuisine. Udon & fried noodles were great. The menu is really complete.

We went for the all you can taste brunch. It was amazing. The food was incredible
The bbq pork puff pastry is amazing. It melts in your mouth.
Thomas was an excellent server. He was there anytime we needed him.
I wish it was on more days than just Tuesday and Wednesday. It would be nice as a Sunday brunch. I have more often if it was on more days due to work.

I have recently moved to St Catherines and found that there is only one real authentic Chinese restaurant and this is the one. When I first stepped into the restaurant, I could not believe that this is a Chinese restaurant, it is decorated better than a high end western restaurant. I have just tried takeouts twice and found the food to be at a very high level, it can be compared to any highly rated Chinese restaurants in Toronto. Prices are a bit on the high side especially for the dim sum dishes but they told me that they have all you can eat dim sum on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The takeouts I had were dinner main dishes and the portion was big. Really impressed so far, but will have to try the dine-in later to complete the final review.
The food never disappoints and the relaxing jazz soundtrack is always a welcome change from most other establishments (even though it could be turned down a wee bit. 😅 Oh, and they REALLY have to do something about that back (Main) stairway entrance (like GET THE ELEVATOR THAT'S SITTING THERE FIXED) it's deadly for elders.
Parking: When the restaurant is full, as it was for us, parking has to take place across Geneva, a busy street. They could also use a couple more "accessible/handicap" spots.

One of the best Chinese food in niagara region ! Dim sum is good but could be more variety such as steak rice noodle or more congee ( traditional hongkongese style ) but overall, very good
