Very good quality food made with fresh ingredients , large portions. Best Chinese food out of the many places I’ve been too in Chicagoland. Definitely a must try spot if you like this style of food. All this for $9.35

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.

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. 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.
