Ma's Oriental Express

“I have eaten here twice in the last week.”

I have eaten here twice in the last week. Both times it has been really good. I had the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and my wife had the Mongolian Beef. We ordered the lunch special which is $9.65 each. The portions are very large. We both get practically 2 full meals each. And it comes with chicken fried rice which I like a lot better than plain rice. We also ordered 2 egg rolls. They were very good and pretty large. I don't remember the price of the egg rolls. I think Ma's is a really good value. The restaurant is only for carryout. There are no tables.

“I was craving Chinese and wanted to try something in the area.”

I was craving Chinese and wanted to try something in the area. This place did not disappoint. Called my order and was ready in 10 mins for pick up. No hassle. Food was great and at a great price. Where else can you eat under $10?

“Whenever I try a new old style chinese restaurant, I get shrimp with lobster sauce and bbq pork...”

Whenever I try a new old style chinese restaurant, I get shrimp with lobster sauce and bbq pork something, like bbq pork fried rice or vegetables, etc. Shrimp with lobster sauce is a very nostalgic food for me. It was something I tried 15~ish years ago from this small chinese restaurant near work. It was $5.45 lunch specials at the time, and I wanted to try something other than monglian beef, generals Tsao chicken etc. And i fell in love ever since. I love brown starch sauce that is made with, and it needs to have black beans and stripes of pork and egg. But some restaurants tend to make this with white sauce with pea and ground pork, or just not enough salt or msg. Well, this place make it perfectly how I wanted, and less than 9 bucks. You can't beat this deal. The only thing to critize is that chicken fried rice was not good...it was dry and maybe a day old. Bbq pork was also really good, cut thick the way I also like it. You can taste rice oyster sauce, and vegetables were cooked well. It definitely reminded me of the old spot that I loved and will be coming back to try more dishes.

“There’s Not Too Many Good Suburb Chinese Take-Out Restaurants.”

There’s Not Too Many Good Suburb Chinese Take-Out Restaurants. This One Is Actually Pretty Good As Far As Pricing && Taste. I Ordered The L-08 Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special with My Rice Fried Spicy && the Sweet n’ Sour Sauce Placed On The Side. The Portions Are A Good Size For All (Chicken, Rice, && Sauce). Everything Was Fresh n’ Hot. As Far As Customer Service, The Lady Who Answered My Call && Prepared My Order Upon Arrival Was Quiet Yet Pleasant. Everything In My Order Was Correct && Prepped The Way I Requested It. As For Atmosphere, It’s Very Clean && Quiet. You Can Only Here The Clicking n’ Clacking of The Pots && Pans. There is Only Seating Available To Wait For Your Food && No Options To Dine In. Which Is Okay Because I’d Still Order From Here Again.

“Great portions and reasonably priced.”

Great portions and reasonably priced! I appreciate the cleanliness and simplicity of this quaint establishment. They're carryout only, quick and easy to order, and a wide selection of options. It's too bad other individuals find their food flavorless...it's because its prepared with no msg and aiming for that less salt flavoring. At least in our opinion, the food was absolutely delicious and very grateful they chose to really pack in the food. As you can see from the photos tagged, they do not cheat you with the amount of food you paid for. **Best to call and order ahead**

Can't believe the quality and the portion this place gives for the price. $7 lunch after tax in 2022? Unbelievable. Photo is L15 Dinner Special

“The egg rolls (I had vegetarian) were bigger and tastier than most places I've been to and they...”

The egg rolls (I had vegetarian) were bigger and tastier than most places I've been to and they were very fast with our order. Be polite and don't order too close to close time.

“Song Tong Shrimp was very good.”

Song Tong Shrimp was very good. I was charged a dollar more than the menu price but it was still a good value. No inside seating.

“We stopped in thinking we could dine in.”

We stopped in thinking we could dine in. Its delivery or carry out only. We ordered the General Taos chicken, Mongolian beef and a order of egg rolls. Both lunch entrees were ok. Wasnt a fan of the beef gravy. Has to and pepper and salt for flavor. Chicken was ok. Not too flavored. The veggies were the spicy part of the meal. The egg rolls were very big. BUT note there is shrimp in them. Paid $21 for all 3.
