    Beef roll. Another winner
    Tracy Y.

    First time at this location. We've gone to the one in Anaheim for over 10 years and discovered this location today on Yelp. It never popped up before until now. The food is just as good. The service is fine since this is just a local restaurant that isn't much decorated inside but you come here for the food. We will be coming to this location from now on since it is right off of the freeway. So easy and convenient to get to.

    Chicken Soup

    Great halal Chinese food with a solid menu selection. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quality halal spot in South OC!

    1st time ever trying a Chinese Halal place. I didn't know what to expect or if the flavors were any different than your regular Chinese restaurant. For landmark, this is tucked next to REI at the Trader Joes plaza on El Toro & Avenida dela Carlota. Brought my family here and here's what we ordered: green onion pie (yum), sauteed peapod greens, honey walnut shrimp (okay), dumplings (okay), fried rice, beef roll, & Ma's fried chicken (delish). Food was okay, the flavors were a little different considering Chinese & mediterranean spice fusion, and servings were a little smaller than your typical Chinese restaurant. We really enjoyed the fried chicken here though. Overall, the food was not as flavorful but it felt way healthier than the usual restaurants. They offer lunch specials (11AM - 3PM daily except holidays) with cheaper, small portions, but includes soup, egg roll, & steamed rice if you dine in. Service was good. Huge dining area that can accomodate big parties.

    I've been looking for good Chinese food. A co-worker told me about this place so I checked their menu online. I was happy to see many lunch offerings at different price points. The place is spacious and clean. I ordered the Kung Pao tofu lunch special. It comes with rice, soup and an egg roll. Everything was delicious and the portion was generous. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

    Thin sesame bread with red bean

    I love sesame balls with red bean, it's such a delicious treat, but today I discovered their thin sesame bread with red bean, it's PIZZA SIZE!! And delicious!

    Sliced Sole Fillet in Spicy Bean Sauce, Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao

    Eight of us celebrated a couple of birthdays with lunch after church. Tucked in the back of a shopping center, it's easy to miss. I liked the 2 pages of lunch specials that are available every day. The specials include soup, egg roll, and rice. My choice was Kung Pao 3 Flavors. Since this is a halal menu, there is no pork. This item had beef, chicken, and shrimp. Others had curry chicken, sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef, sliced sole fillet in spicy bean sauce, and kung pao chicken. Not lunch specials, but two others ordered mushu chicken and oxtail soup. The portions were good, and everyone was pleased. I was surprised that the place settings included a fork and a spoon, but no chopsticks. The server gave me chopsticks on my request. The staff kindly brought us plates and forks for the homemade cake we brought. I was surprised to find out this place has been here for 7 years. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

    Can't get enough of Ma's House! If you're looking for delicious and authentic Chinese food, look no further...Ma's House delivers. Great food. Great service. Ample parking. Love it.

    Egg drop soup, Chicken chow mein, and chicken fried rice.
    Amanda D.

    First timer here. Just a heads up - it's family style so portions are huge. Didn't realize that, but nothing wrong with left overs. We had sweet and sour soup, and egg drop soup along with chicken chow mein and fried rice. Food was good and Rosa was a sweetheart and very informative. Will be back

    Delicious shrimp and assorted vegetables.

    Ask the Community - Ma's House

    Do you open for inside dining now?

    Yes

    Do they have mapo tofu?

    Yes they do, can have it with or without meat. I believe they use ground chicken meat.

    Do you serve alcohol?

    Absolutely not.

    Where is your Anaheim restaurant? What's the name? I can't find Ma's house in Anaheim.

    The Anaheim location management has changed. The original owners operate the Laguna Hills and San Diego locations now. That's why the owners have renamed to Ma's House as opposed to the Ma's Islamic.

    Anyone know why they are closed?

    There was a large fire that caused damage.… Read more

    Came in on May 13, 2026 around 7 pm. I just had a random…read moresevere cravings for dumplings, so I just looked for a highly rated one on Yelp since I am not from the area. I had the most amazing time at this restaurant! The restaurant was pretty packed but got seated immediately. I was craving dumplings and their dumplings were amazing and juicy but the stand out for me was the beef noodle soup! It had the best textured noodles that I've had for some time and really tender beef slices. It was perfect with the chili oil that they had on the table. I loved that they have frozen dumplings that you can take home and I will definitely plan for that next time.

    Ok for small orders of dumplings. I recommend going for the pan-fried dumplings…read more Because they used the same seasoned meat filling across most of their popular dishes (XLB, pan-fried gyoza, wonton, shumai)...the variation between these dishes is minimal and your palate will be numbed by the copy-and-paste flavors. They all start to taste the same. Quite disappointed at the dumpling wrapper / skin... which is as important as the filling. They over steamed / cooked the shumai, XLB, and wonton so the dumpling skins were too soft, almost mushy. Maybe some people prefer this texture? Smashed cucumber has large portion, flavor is quite light compared to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty versions. Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty are more expensive, but their quality and flavor are better so I would still go there for my dimpling cravings. Staff is friendly. Maybe try other dishes besides dumplings...

Met some friends for dinner at Peony on a Saturday evening before we went to a movie at the Rivian theater which is 2 doors down on pch. Our server was cookie, and he was fantastic. Attentive, cheerful, and pleasantly talkative. Offering menu and drink suggestions without being pushy or high pressure. We settled on 3 main dishes and rice. Everything was tasty. I think that the mushu pork was my favorite. My buddy's wife treated me so I can't speak to the prices but everything that I saw on the menu seemed to be reasonable. I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing my girlfriend to try Peony for herself. Also highly recommend Peony if you're going to an event at the Rivian theater. Parking in downtown Laguna beach is always going to be challenging. Unfortunately peony doesn't have its' own lot that I could see so street parking or parking off site and riding the trolley is going to be the best options.

All of the food came out extremely fast. I would highly recommend Peony Chinese kitchen to anyone.
