Small but mighty Chinese restaurant in a strip mall on Euclid Avenue (same lot as 99 Ranch Market) in Anaheim. It was quite busy on a Saturday afternoon but managed to get a nice corner booth. While we've never been here before, we looked through the menu and decided to get a couple items just to tie us over into dinner. My daughter opted for the Shrimp & Pork Dumplings while the hubby and I shared the Garlic Bok Choy and Crispy Duck. The veggie dish was a delight and the crispy duck with the plum sauce was divine. My daughter finished all but 3 pieces of the dumpling order. Of course, I had to give it a try. There is a disclaimer upon entry that asks customers to be patient as all the dumplings are handmade. The servers were nice and polite so of course had to make sure to tip generously. read more

Been a favorite to get good Chinese food. Not cheap but yummy. Today got a Kung Pao Chicken to go and when I got home was pretty disappointed. I used to order Kung Pao Chicken all the time it is my favorite dish. Now this could be a that I got the bad chef but here was my experience. Quantity of chicken was much reduced. Quantity of peanuts was also much reduced. Vegetables quantity was increased. To top it off the woman who took my order seemed to have an attitude. Like what the heck -- not sure if I am going to go back. Need a new Chinese place !! read more

This is a family owned Chinese restaurant. Small and authentic with an extensive menu. The Thai tea was made very sweet; a little too sweet for the standard taste. Although the chicken chow mein was excellent; one of the best I've had. And the wontons in chili oil were ok. Now this place does accept cards, but they will not take more than one form of payment for some reason. We were going to pay some cash and put the rest of a credit card, but they said they won't take two forms. I was a little annoyed at that, but now I know. read more

Delicious food, horrible service! Didn't feel welcome the moment we stepped inside. The server immediately made the assumption that we didn't know how to use chopsticks and instead gave us plastic forks without even asking first, while everyone she gave chopsticks. Didn't offered us any drinks and seemed bothered every time I wanted to get her attention. Definitely not a people person. I understand that she was the only server but when you carry that. bad energy it changes the whole experience. It is such a shame because the food was good. read more

Almost everything we ordered were prepared with fresh ingredients, well seasoned and well portioned for the prices we paid. The beef roll was excellent, and despite being an appetizer was easily our favorite. The filling of braised beef, cilantro and other aromatics was wrapped in a thin and flaky pancake. The beef roll was not as greasy as other restaurants', and the ratio of beef to herbs was just right. The string beans were stir fried with fresh garlic and red peppers. We knew that they were fresh because they still retained their springiness and crunchy texture. The noodles were average, as we expected, but delicious, nevertheless. The salt and pepper fish fillets were battered a little heavier than we expected, so they resembled nuggets rather than fillets. The "almost" descriptive at the start of this review, referred to the sesame balls we had for dessert. The balls were slightly larger than mothballs and were over fried. We're used to the airy and large sized sesame balls in dim sum restaurants! Despite the miss on the sesame balls, I still think that Ma's Dumpling House is worthy of your patronage, because of its fresh ingredients, tasty food, excellent service, and overall customer experience! I also love the hand painted mural on the wall! It gave the place an airy, and relaxed feel. And its interior is clean and well maintained. Nicely done! read more

This review is more like 3.5 stars but will round up since we can't give half star reviews. Coworkers were looking to take me out for my birthday lunch and we decided to try this place. As with many Chinese restaurants, they have a large extensive menu, but there may only be a couple of dishes that they are better at making. This place is no exception. We definitely ordered some good dishes and some A-OK dishes. I think the reduction in stars is mostly due to the long wait despite there only being one or two tables. They might have been understaffed, but the table behind us had to follow up with their order as they noticed that we had almost finished eating our meal and their meal was nowhere to be seen. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Located in the same shopping plaza as 99 Ranch and many other eateries such as Seasons Kitchen, Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog and Ten Ren. -Cross Streets are N Euclid St and Crescent Ave. -Parking can be a hassle if you're here during peak hours. Would recommend not dining in at prime lunch time hours at any restaurant in this plaza || F O O D || Salt and Pepper Chicken - This reminded me more of a popcorn chicken rather than the Salt and Pepper Pork Chops that I'm used to having. It was a generous amount of chicken, but I did feel like some pieces were overly fried and it felt like I was eating fried chicken jerky. Perhaps if it wasn't overly fried, this might have been one of our favorites. The seasoning was pretty good though! Mongolian Beef - Hard to mess up this dish but it does look very bad if there are more onions than beef. In this case, there is a decent amount of beef but I've seen a better ratio of onions and beef at other places. Despite that, the flavors of this dish were outstanding. It was our favorite dish that paired so well with rice. There were no leftovers at all. Wontons in Chili Oil - Honestly hard to mess up unless the chili oil isn't flavorful enough or if the wontons aren't fresh. There was a decent amount of wontons and the chili oil gave it a little spicy kick to it. Good but nothing outstanding. House Fried Rice - There was potential in this dish but it was just way too bland. I think they forgot to season it? At least compared to the other dishes, I might as well be better off eating regular steamed rice rather than pay 10+ dollars for fried rice. I would not recommend this dish. It didn't have that wok hay taste either. read more

This place was OK. The server kept coming back to take our order but we have no idea what to get yet and he came back three times within the last two minutes just to take our order which I didn't like. The dumpling was OK. Everything is just OK. I don't think I'll be back. read more

I put a one star because I can't go any lower than that. This place was truly disappointing. The owner was very rude, her worker the waitress was lovely and very nice but unfortunately didn't speak English so we needed help from the owner to communicate. We felt as she didn't want to be bothered. Absolutely no type of people skills! For this place to specialize in dumplings their flavor was alright. Not the greatest read more

Ma's Dumpling House - Dim Sum Near Me - Anaheim, California

What a true gem hidden in Anaheim. I have to admit I've been to this shopping center before but I've never noticed Ma's dumplings. My girlfriend and I have this great tradition of treating ourselves to dim sum every few months and this spot has been at the top of the list for a while. Finally having a chance to check out Ma's the first thing I noticed was the LARGE menus. The options seemed endless. But we narrowed it down to the chicken dumplings, veggie dumplings, green beans and chowmein. The dim sum was a great deal, 10 for around $10, they were great sized and I loved the veggie ones with fresh ginger. The chowmein was also great, but for real star to me was the green beans. There something about a perfectly seasoned green bean. It was savory spicy and well steamed. Each dish was made with love and served by a wonderful women who was helpful and kind. read more

Ma's Dumpling House - Dim Sum Near Me - Anaheim, California

The food was delicious. I really enjoy their fried rice everytime, as it is not greasy like other places. First time trying their iron type chicken, and we both really enjoyed it. Light flavor with a kick at the end from the pepper. Also, spoiler alert ita served piping hot. One of the favorites at this restaurant is the salt and pepper chicken. I really enjoyed it this time, because it was salty, most people I go with really enjoy this meal. The service is always great. You can tell it has that family owned atmoshphere, where all the servers are very respectful. Very relaxing atmosphere with cooking videos playing in backround (asmr). Give it a try with friends and family. If you're looking for a great value, and want some great quality Chinese food, then you definitely need to check this place out. Enjoy! P.S. Wish I had better photos, but was ready to eat. read more

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL. As I mentioned before, Number One is in Orange County. First time in this establishment. I strongly recommend it to all, no matter what's your taste. Fresh Dumplings made home made at the location. I don't know any dumpling house that would make their own dumplings at their location. Very friendly people, water Jen (please correct me with the name). She was very polite and knowledgeable. 'The assistant Allan was also very friendly. So if you are hungry and it is Sunday, get your family after church to have a great scrumptious meal. read more

Anaheim is known for the greatest theme park in the world and has some of the best taquerias in Orange Country. My Latino family that lives in Anaheim think good Chinese food is the Chinese buffet restaurant down the street that is served with a fork and a side of sweet and sour sauce. . With that said, I don't think Anaheim knows what a real Chinese restaurant is. I see most of the negative Yelp reviews here are from a bunch of weenie whiny people that didn't get "customer service". Lmao. Go to Irvine where 98% of the people are Asian. You have to waive the waiter down and they don't smile. They take your order and serve you as soon as possible and they don't care to ask how your meal was because they need you to pay to make room for the next table. 1. Pork Dumplings. Do you know how hard it is to find hand made dumplings that are fresh, tasty and reasonably priced? Come here and you will get that. Most places that serve dim sum usually run out of dumplings by noon or you have to pay twice as much and wait for hours at Din Tai Fung or Paradise Dynasty to get fresh and tasty dumplings. 2. The Pan Fried Pork Buns Oh... emmm Geee.... you get 6 buns per order? Next time we are ordering 2 because they were juicy, tasty and delicious. Again... reasonably priced, fresh and damn good. 3. Garlic green beans. A must side order 4. Crispy noodles with veggies, beef, chicken and shrimp Good kids order 5. Pan fried dumplings They were average. Only because we have the pan fried pork buns and pork dumplings first. Everything after will be average. We won't order again and order more of the other stuff. Coming from Irvine is a bit of a drive but plan on coming back to try other dishes with the dumplings and buns as a must. Anaheim has a legit Chinese gem in its city. Check it out if you want real Chinese food. read more

So I came in 55 min before closing and I'm a server and that's plenty of time to be served and the lady who sat us right away said we're about to close is that okay and I said okay that's fine . 30 seconds after she sat us and barely gave us menus she said are you ready now . She didn't even give us a moment to look at the menu . Rude asf . I don't recommend somewhere they don't care about there guests . read more

Ma's Dumpling House - 6. Steamed Shrimp & beef Dumpling 33. Fried Chicken Skew - Dim Sum Near Me - Anaheim, California

Ordered from here cause my friend said it's her and her husband's go to Chinese place. Juicy Pork Dumplings - Super flavorful, pretty juicy dumplings. The dumpling dough is pretty thick though, would like it better if it was thinner. I do like that they give you 8 pieces, it's a large order for an appetizer. Veggie Fried Rice - Too plain, we barely ate any of it. Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles - I am obsessed with pan fried noodles and these were great! I will definitely order them again. Portion is big too, I had it for lunch the next two days. General Chicken - This was OK. Large chunks of white meat chicken with a kind of sweet sauce. This did not reheat well the next day. Scallion Beef - We LOVED this. Super tender, large pieces of thick beef, delicious brown sauce with loads of scallions. I thought this would be similar to Mongolian Beef but it wasn't, it was much better! I'm looking forward to trying more of their dim sum, noodles, and beef dishes. read more

Looking for Chinese food in the Anaheim area has posed a great challenge in my journey to find the best restaurants, which is why I was happy that I came across Ma's Dumpling House. Though farther away from the center of Anaheim in the same shopping center as the 99 Ranch Market on Euclid, I was willing to drive out if it meant the food was good. After looking at their menu, I decided I would steer away from my usual orders and proceeded to get a Salt and Pepper Chicken. At the time of this review, this costs around 13 dollars after tax. I entered the small restaurant around 7:30 to see a large party and a small party occupying the tables, which was a good number for the amount of seating there was. I then quickly picked up my food from the nice staff and left to inspect the food. Opening the box to inspect the food, it smelled aromatic upon opening which was enticing to me since I was decently hungry at the time. The chicken looked lightly coated, which was a good since many dishes similar to this are usually overly-coated. The portion seemed to be satisfactory with the entirety of the box having chicken in it. The only downside is that a good handful of the pieces were void of chicken. What I initially thought was chicken ended up to be scraps remaining from the breading. This being said, I wish each piece had more chicken as that is what I would be paying 13 dollars for. Price to portion ratio suffers a bit because of this. The taste of the chicken itself was overall great! The chicken itself was moist, which is a hard balance to strike due to the fact the fryer can take lots of the moisture away. The breading was subtly spicy from the red peppers in the dish which provided a nice kick. The chicken was also paired with some garlic and pepper, which made the chicken's flavor resonate in the mouth. It was somewhat sweet, but not in a way where sauce was a concern. All the flavors put together made the dish a great pairing to rice, which I found to be quite enjoyable. For the Salt and Pepper Chicken, Ma's Dumpling House deserves a solid 4 stars. The taste of the chicken was very flavorful with a variety ingredients, but the one star deduction mostly comes from the portion-size being a little less than what is usually available for the price. I'll reemphasize the fact I wish the chicken pieces were a little bit larger. Other than that, Ma's Dumpling House did an overall good job. read more

This cute little place with friendly service is quite a good find. I really wanted dumplings but could not resist ordering the cumin lamb. It was exceptionally good. I only had two types of dumplings; pan fried pork buns and wontons in chili oil. Neither of them are mind blowing. Although I really appreciated that the dough on both of them was obviously handmade. The wontons and chili oil had some Szechuan pepper corn that was nice and tingly. But the rest of the flavor was not on point. I will go back just for the cumin lame that's for sure. Also had their house made milk tea which was a delightful wait to finish a spicy meal. read more

Edit on March1, 2025: Went again since we fell in love with the food here but they did not allow my service dog this time.

I want to tell you about Ma's Wor Wonton Soup. Their wonton soup is unlike any other we have tried. It is rich soup filled with greens, large wontons, and chicken - not the bland broth typically provided by Chinese restaurants, but a meal in itself. And a large tureen, enough for four for fourteen bucks. read more

Food always good. Dumplings were delicious, very reminiscent of a very busy and influential dumpling house out of Santa Anita. They are made fresh and steamed to perfection . Delicious. We also had salt and pepper shrimp and chow neon, these were mediocre and the shrimp had a lot of breading. They were out of the fried chicken skewers and when asked for another soda, they were out of that also. Location was clean. Probably won't visit again, but it was worth the cost of the food. read more

This was the fried rice with xtra vegetables. This was STEAMED rice no OR LITTLE IF AT ALL VEGETABLES. Absolutely horrible and the easiest to make. I called and they wanted me to dive down to show them. So I am showing everyone. The Kung Pao was good. The honey walnut shrimp had the tails fried hidden into the shrimp so you had to find the tail and pick it out. And was soggy. The vegetable chowmein had very little vegetables. Very disappointing read more

This is my first time here. Place is not authentic. More for Americans. Water tasted horrible. Waitress was not friendly. Place was hot and they didn't even have the fan on.

My 10 year old and I found this cute place when starving after a long drive. We shared the #1-Juicy Pork Dumplings, #3-Pan Fried Pork Buns and #117-Chinese Cucumber Salad. The salad was absolute refreshing and delicious but for my ten year old it was a strong taste that she did not like. I've never had it before but now I feel like I'm addicted. Overall the dumplings were good for dumplings. The buns were good but the bottom caught me by surprise. I forgot it was fried! Yum!! The atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting. The severs were so nice! Thank you! read more

Love this place!!! Quality of food is top notch and the portions are generous. Their juicy dumplings are my favorite, but everything we have tried is always delicious.

Ma's Dumpling House - Mongolian beef - Dim Sum Near Me - Anaheim, California

Rainy day in SoCal. Family was craving some dumplings/XLB "juicy dumplings". Checked my trusty Yelp app and found several options in the local area. Out of all the reviews, this place seemed like a hidden gem, and besides, I had to get some groceries at an Asian market, which Ranch 99 is nearby. 'Perfect storm' indeed. Upon entering, there were about 10 booths and 2 large round tables. Walls decorated with the traditional Chinese decor but modern, receipts where past patrons wrote appreciative messages, and since it was the lunar near year coming up, some of those decorations as well. Staff were quick to have us seated, super friendly and polite. They took our order, and about 15 minutes later the food came out one by one. I wasn't sure what to expect, would this be authentic or an American style of dumplings. The reviews are about 3.7 stars as of this writing, and I have to say it's unwarranted. The food was good. The value for the food is good. The skin for the XLB was a little thicker, but for my kids, they were much easier to handle. Also the cost is about $5-7 less than other places for 8 XLB. Literally there was another option we could have gone to instead, but authentic Chinese food shouldn't be overly expensive. The taste was good, but the tiny thing that it lacked was it wasn't 'soupy'. It was hot but it didn't have that soup explosion upon eating it. That's not to say it wasn't tasty, it still was. We also tried their string bean chicken, excellent. My kids ate it all up, and we all know how kids can sometimes avoid eating their veges. We had their pan fried dumplings, which surprisingly enough, was more 'soupy' when I bit into it. I almost preferred this item over the XLB. Had the sweet and sour chicken ( the pork version wasn't available) and it was good too. Lastly, had the beef flat noodles, comfort food right here. Simple, tasted good with everything else, it hit the spot. I would recommend trying this place out. It's pretty authentic with slight American style to it, but still keeping it traditional. Next time I have to try the beef noodle soup, that's the other main dish that would display how authentic this place is... it's one of the other menu items that I would say is a must try if you want to keep it authentic. Service was quick and friendly. No problems for non mandarin speakers, and native speakers. I've been to places similar to this that would make non native speakers feel awkward to order, as well as the 'quick pace rush rush' Chinese food places, but this place is great for anyone to try. (I was myself nervous to use my broken Mandarin to order, but thankfully I split it up with English). Would recommend this place for families, friends, and anyone that wants to try good Chinese food that is reasonably priced. read more

We order 3 items for take out. I think my pictures speak for themselves. They are decent food. Some of them is a little too salty for my taste. Overall, I give them A-/B+, would definitely return. read more

Ma's Dumpling House - Great old school place - Dim Sum Near Me - Anaheim, California

We sat down quickly. Small quaint restaurant kinda quick bite place to dine. We started with hot tea. Ordered egg rolls, juicy pork dumplings, chicken steamed dumplings and chow mein. Starting with the egg rolls, they were crisp, great flavor vegetables. I will definitely order more of them next time. They come with 4 and sauce. The pork dumplings were tender, the pork was tender, they came as little purse style. Love them the best. The chicken not much flavor to the meat tho we added chili oil and soy sauce. Will not make this one of my reorders. They were fresh. Just not toy liking. The chow mein we picked was.beef. We pleasantly enjoyed this. Really cool lil poster/sign on how to eat a dumpling properly. I learned to add vinegar. Yes that's correct. The mixture is clearly up to you. I mainly enjoyed them with chili oil and soy. My daughter was well impressed with this restaurant! So yes we are coming back. Thank you for the freshness of an Amazing flavorful dumpling. read more

The place went down from the open space to crowded due to the small room in front. Gated windows and door to make it look closed or a places in the hood. The food was mediocre, with no passion rather something quick. Service was terrible and wanted you out of there as fast as they bring your food. Truly sad this place went down I always recommend this place not any more 0/5 read more

I am one for a hole in the wall joints and I have been eyeing this eatery for the last few years and I finally went. I ordered Xiao long bao (pork dumplings), sautéed string beans and a bowl of rice. The skin of the dumpling was simply too thick. The pork was over cooked and the soup lacked flavor. I was happy I ordered the sautéed string beans. It was flavorful, crisp and went well with a fresh bowl of white rice. I will continue my mission with searching for the best dumplings in Anaheim or Orange County overall. read more
