 | ★ We drove an hour to get here. When we got in this lady literally yelled her lungs out saying their closed. We asked nicely if we can eat, but she gave us a big attitude. We found it very awkward that they close from 3-5pm. As we were there I heard a customer yelling that they have hair in their food. Most of all what was a bug turn of the smell in the restaurant and the atmosphere. |

 | ★★★★★ Mas' is a GREAT restaurant. I have been here three different times and the food is second to none for halal Chinese restaurants, or any Chinese restaurant for that matter. We always order the orange chicken, which is excellent. Everything's good though, it's hard to go wrong. Although I do agree that the customer service could use some improvement, the food is so amazing, I couldn't give it less than 5 stars! |

 | ★★★★★ This is the best chinese food i've had in my life, the service was phenomenal and the restaurant itself is very nice, and professionally run. I wish I could have had more time to try out the other things on the menu. You can tell that they cater to all people, not just muslims which is a sign that the food is excellent. |

|
 | ★★★★★ The food is amazing. The place is really nice. This is definitely a place that everyone has to go to when in the area. And the best thing about this place is that it is AUTHENTIC Chinese zabiha food. And most of you are probably thinking, so what, we can get that anywhere. Well, I havn't traveled all over North America, but I've been to Chicago and Toronto (which both have massive Muslim populations), and all the "zabiha chinese" places I've come across are not authentic, but are hakka style or desi-fied chinese. Which is good and all, and a cuisine in its own, but just isn't the same as real chinese food. So I would definitely recommend this place... their menu is huge (lots of options) and the food comes out really fast (for the amount thats made).
As great as this place is, I unfortunately have one issue. So, is it just me or do all the beef dishes seem very similar to each other? I think I've been here about 5 times, and each time try to order a different beef dish, but they are all about 90% same. I mean, its really good, but a variety would be nice. Well if you go, you'll see what I mean. |

|
 | ★★★★ I've been here many times with my family and the food is good. You can wait 30-60 minutes for a table on the weekends as this place gets packed early. Service is something else though. Most times the service could have been better.. They need to hire some more help. |

Although the food was amazing, the water/drink service was kind slow. I didn't experience the service problems that others did. Honestly, coming from PA, I was surprised they were able to keep up with all the customers, but don't expect to be treated special for being a customer. |

We had take out and though my friends assured me that the food we had wasn't as good as they've had, I thought it was AMAZING. I've been to a few halal chinese restaurants in NY, one in DC and I think this place tops them. quite possibly the best halal chinese restaurant in america. quite possibly. |

 | ★★★★ Ma's has been around for many years, just under different names and locations. They started off in Downtown LA. The food is great! You will not be disappointed in the food. However, if you are looking for great service...forget it. Then again, they have to deal with pushy Indian/Pakistani customers. The atmosphere is nice, again, people let their kids run all over this place.
Best thing to do, order take out to avoid all these issues :) |

 | ★★ The food at the restaurant is delicious - but the service was absolutely horrible. We got there, were seated, Jamilla took our order - no smiling, no courtesy - and then practically stormed away. We got our food quickly - but they forgot to bring our duck and a chicken dish, but they brought the bill with those two items on it. When we brought up the fact that we hadn't received those two dishes, the waiter said, oh we'll take it off your bill, instead of offering to bring us the food. Also we kept asking for water and they didn't bring it to us until the bill came! I'm not from the area but next time I'm down there I doubt I'd go back. |

|
 | ★★★ Pros: Lunch specials are reasonably priced ($5-$8) and have big portion sizes. Also, a lot of variety in the lunch menu and the general menu. Hot and Sour Soup is very tasty. I agree with the other poster that food quality tends to be better on weekdays than weekends. Food arrives very quickly. Decor and Outlook of the restaurant is reasonably upscale.
Cons: Bad Customer Service. It starts all the way from the top management to the wait staff. The attitude can be desribed as Indifferent if you are lucky, and downright Rude if you are not. They seriously need to take classes in that department.
Conclusion: If you can tolerate rude service and pushy attitude, then the food, prices and variety are good.

 | ★★★★★ My husband and I ate dinner here after a visit to Disney. Mashallah, the food here is superb! Try the lamb with Sa-cha sauce!! The dishes we ordered were perfect (non greasy and not too salty). Perfect food in a clean restaurant environment. I'm sure this place does really well. Keep it up!! |
|
 |  | Irvine, CA |
| |
|
 | ★★★★★ This place is good of course, especially if you have a lot of people in your party. The food is greasy as expected, but great Chinese comfort food. It is remarkably consistent. I always like to order "off menu" and get the chicken with all white meat in anything I order, like Garlic Chicken with all white meat. That's good stuff. I would suggest that they get a pager system like Cheesecake factory, you never know how long you are going to wait, and the staff can never quote you an accurate time. Still an amazing restaurant. |
|
 |  | Tustin, CA |
| |
|
 | ★★★ The food looks good and smells good, but it is oily and salty. The worst thing about this place is that if you are unhappy with a dish, then returning it is very difficult. I told Jamillah the last time we were there that we will not be returning. We drove from Irvine weekly with our family, but after a few times of getting an order that we did not like and asking if they could get it right, they started giving us an attitude. I was shoked that for a business woman Jamillah would not make things right or refund us for the untouched food. They took our money and the plate was full on the table. I told her about it and she said well next time you come back. What about not charging us for the dish we never ate and then talking about next time. It was unethical and honestly some muslims do not conduct themselves as muslims should. You go to an american restarurent and if they get your order wrong they will fix it, no charge you for it when you send it back. It's unfortunate, since it's the only chinese halal place I konw of. |

 | ★★ Assalaamu 'Alaykum. Our last trip to Mas was for a party of 25 for a dinner following my brother's wedding. I am VERY disappointed with the service of the Mas staff based on this experience. We called ahead to make a reservation (showing up with a party of 25 and expecting a table would obviously be unwise) and Mas confirmed the reservation. When we got there, they seated us at 2 separate tables, effectively nullifying the point of making the reservation in the first place (providing them with adequate time to arrange for tables/seating for our entire group). The food came out fast, to their credit, and tasted good Alhamdulillah. As we were eating, the closing time of the restaurant was drawing near. The cleaning staff came out while people were still finishing up and began cleaning the table (using window cleaner spray). No fewer than three times did the worker say something to the effect of "we're waiting for you to leave so we can close." I understand a restaurant needs to close on time but there's a proper manner in which this could have been conveyed without literally shouting it in front of our guests. In any case, we left the restaurant after hearing the worker's gripes. Unfortunately, this will be the last time we visit Mas if this is the "respect" they have for their customers.
Alhamdulillah, we have been to Mas' several times and while the food has certainly been good every time, the service has generally been middle-of-the-road, often bordering on indifferent. There have been multiple times when items were forgotten completely from our orders. Still, Mas being one of the few legitimately halaal restaurants necessitates that we (and many others) continue dining there. Losing the business of 25 Muslims likely won't make a dent in Mas' business, but Insha Allah moving forward they will treat the brothers and sisters who dine at their restaurant with more respect than we were afforded. |

 | ★★★ Assalamu alaykum, Mashallah Mas is a respectable addition to the many great halal Chinese restaurants in the area when it come to good food. It was great but i would not say it is the best. While the food was up to par, the staff was not. To be honest, some of them were very rude and it seemed like they could not handle more than one table at a time. They could not grasp the idea that some people like to stay and chat after their dinner. They came to our table and started cleaning them in front our faces just to try to make us leave. All in all, the food had quality but the guest service did not. |

The portions are in adequate quantity and rates are very reasonable at such a location. We had the hot and sour soup with orange chicken with the three flavor spicy fried rice. We really liked the food and would love to eat at this restaurant again. |

THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT AND THE SERVICE IS ALSO EXCELLENT. 5 OUT OF 5. |

|
 | ★★★★ My family and I have been here a couple times on the weekend nights and this place is packed. Even if you make a reservation you have to wait sometimes up to 1 hour before you are sitted at your table and another 30 minutes for your food. Not very good management. The receptionist should not take a reservation if they know they can not accommodate at the certain time requested. And the servers should come back at least once during the course of the meal to make sure everything is okay. I would suggest to sister Jamilla to hire some more workers during peak hours and also maybe open the party hall area (if available) to accommodate the busy weekend schedule. The food is good however. |
