Have you noticed that truly great Americanized Chinese food has gotten really hard to find?…read more I've long wondered whether it was my tastebuds changing from childhood, or if the food is actually different today, whether because of generational changeover, ingredient sourcing, or something else entirely. Like the impact stemming from one extremely dubious report of one guy who said he was sleepy one time and then everyone freaked out over MSG. Anyway, it's hard! And it may just be me, but most of the Chinese restaurants I am encountering these days are rather spartan affairs: cinderblock walls with faded off-white drop ceilings and food to match. It can hit the spot. Some even manage to be good. But it feels rare. House of Ma is a family run restaurant that is a local institution. During our visit we heard multiple people of multiple generations mention they had come here since their youth. It shows. We arrived right before the restaurant opened for the evening, and as the first people inside, we could see the care that had gone into the space, the dining room practically echoed with busy nights and celebrations from years gone by. The decor is great, in a classic way. It's really lovely. You don't see this much today, I wonder what it would cost to outfit a dining room ceiling like they've done. It is immersive, a great use of space. Our server was kind and helpful. The menu was simple, a classic of its own. We got the dinner combination 2. I was a little confused by the beef in foil, but others seem to really love it. For me it was... fine? I'd have been interested to try that same meat wrapped in a dumpling instead of metal. The rest was decent enough. I can see how this would be a major source of local nostalgia. Next time I'm in the area I'd enjoy swinging by again. I would order something different, hopefully I'm able to find a magical nostalgia-inducing item on the menu of my own. At some point, there will be a generational shift at House of Ma. A torch will be passed. I hope whoever picks it up respects the space and all the effort that went into building it. It's a jewel.

Portions were big which was appreciated for the price, but my biggest issue was the speed of service. I didn't get my food until about 20 minutes after my dad, at which point he had already finished his food. The restaurant was also definitely not busy so not sure why it was so slow. My dad got the ramen and I got the steak hibachi, both thought they were just okay. Spacious restaurant, good for a family night out. Food 3/5 Service 2/5 Vibes 3/5

The customers service was good, but they did mess up on our order which wasn't a huge deal. The food was good for what we ordered, but not what we are use too in California.
