I ordered the General Tso Tofu, and it was like little heavenly bites of perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious! I make it a point to visit every time I'm in town. This place is truly a gem. The customer service is always five-star -- they take the time to explain the dishes if you have any questions or concerns. The dining area is also very clean and welcoming. Phenomenal experience every time!

Ma Ma Wok, I love you for your offering of all the Chinese delicious foods, but veganized and…read moreequally delicious. As far as atmosphere, it's super casual, no cocktails, not much in the way of ambiance. Think of it as primarily for takeout, with table service. No matter! You come here for the huge portions of Chinese comfort food. Service is excellent and friendly. I could've spent a half hour with that menu, as I wanted to make sure I ordered the right things. This is the perfect place to share, as with many Chinese food that's done right and well, you order protein dishes apart from vegetable dishes. So we had Beijing veg duck, dry pot, eggplant with basil (they were out of the string beans that I really wanted to try) and shumai to start. All of it was delicious. I knew the eggplant was a bit of a risk, as so many places will serve you rubbery, bitter horrors. Not the case here! It's sweet with melt-in-your-mouth texture and I appreciated that it had other veggies mixed in with the generous portion of eggplant. The protein dishes are full of taste and texture-- no need to add seasoning to the dry pot (perhaps a little more spice but they have red pepper flakes on the table). I'd expected more of a bean curd skin/yuba for the duck, but instead it's seitan (I believe) and chewy in a good way. The shumai was tasty but too starchy and full of rice when I expected protein. Not sure I'd order that again with so many other tempting apps, including other dumplings, on the menu. If this were in my neighborhood, I'd be over the moon, because I'd finally have a viable option for good Chinese takeout. As a vegan, normally I'm regulated to the same old Buddhist's Delight. Ma Ma is such a treasure.

It does not disappoint. I have to agree with the former chef from Fahrenheit who once said they have some of the best char siu in town. Here, they call it honey BBQ pork, and it's served over rice with a soy sauce egg and pickled radish. It's simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying -- the kind of meal that keeps you coming back. I've also tried their wonton soup, potstickers, chili oil wontons, and even the BBQ pork ribs à la carte. Everything has been consistently delicious. This is the kind of place where you can explore the menu over time and never get bored. A few practical tips for fellow shoppers and food lovers: * Parking is easy, and there's a separate entrance just for the food hall. * If you're shopping in the grocery store first, be aware that shopping carts aren't allowed in the food hall section -- so plan accordingly. * And my best advice: go hungry and eat before you shop. Trust me on that one. There's a whole wide world of food out there, and this spot is a great place to start eating your way through it. I'll definitely be back.

The wings were the standout: crispy skin, sticky-sweet BBQ glaze, and an Asian flavor that made them super addictive. You get 6 wings. The shrimp fried rice was a nice compliment, with plenty of shrimp. The food came out hot and fresh, and service was quick, even on a Friday. I like the casual food hall setup -- it's great for grabbing a bite without committing to a full restaurant experience. I'd go back for the wings alone.

I'll preface this review with the fact that our original plans (the day before a holiday) had to…read morepivot since the original place we had chosen was closed - Always hard to make plans when a holiday falls on a Saturday!! Friday afternoon - peak lunch hour, this place is tucked away a bit, but when we came in the doors, every table was occupied (except 1).... Which worked out for us. Menu and photos of the dishes online looked entreaging and I am so glad we tried this place. Staffers were quick to seat us (at the last table available), but very quickly you can tell how fast/efficent the service was here and the number of customers they crank through. No noodles this time, but I will definitely be going back if I find myself in the Matthews area for whatever reason. Eggplant w/Garlic Sauce is definitely a must try and their mongolian beef was tasty. Both dishes came with rice (and we shared). Intreagued to try the rest of the menu!!

The noodles had great texture since they were fresh but everything here was lacking in flavor. I…read moredon't know if it was toned down because this was NC or if the restaurant itself just didn't know how to make good Chinese food? I'm inclined to believe this was intentional and that they know what they're doing. The cucumbers were not good at all. The skin was tough and the texture of the cucumbers were rubbery rather that crisp and snappy. The dish itself lacked balance and was very heavy on the vinegar. It's important to note that the fried tofu add-on was excellent. They used soft tofu and it was fried to perfection. The service was standard. The food was brought out quickly. I don't know what I was expecting coming from the Bay Area. I think this place "works" but if you've got a real hankering for good Chinese food, this is not for you. (To echo what Evan Z. wrote. Thanks for the review, it definitely helped levelset expectations!)

I had the #15 general Tso chicken. It came in a dinner sized portion with onion, green peppers and…read moresome jalapeño slices. With a side of steamed rice. The sauce was more like a red sweet and sour taste. It was very good and I enjoyed it. I've never had this sauce with general tso chicken before. The rice tasted great and also balanced out the sweet/sour sauce. My only gripe is I asked if a drink was green tea which turned out to be jasmine tea. It tasted like perfume smells.

I asked the person taking my order what she would recommend, but she seemed unsure and didn't offer much guidance, so I ended up ordering the Braised Pork Jian Bing. The order comes with two pieces, which is a good portion, but there was barely any meat inside. Most of the pork was very fatty, which made the dish disappointing. It's unfortunate because this was my first time trying food from Quicitop, and it didn't leave a good impression. The Alley food hall itself is great, but based on this experience with this dish, I probably wouldn't order from here again.

I wish we knew how to best eat this since it came in a bag, and I know that sticking our forks inside was not the right move.

Not a bad thing at all, but not what we were expecting based on the dish's name. These are a hoisin-lover's dream, and the sausage inside was a nice touch. Would get again!
