If you can believe it, I’ve been doing this blog for well over a year now but this visit to Ma’s Islamic Chinese Restaurant in Anaheim is my first review of Chinese food ever on my blog. Funny thing, it’s not that I don’t like Chinese food, it’s just we don’t go out for it that often. When we usually go out for it, I order something different and Mrs. DanGarion usually orders orange chicken, she ALWAYS orders orange chicken! Well yesterday (Friday) I went out to lunch by myself and I’m the one that ordered the Orange Chicken. Couple notes to make regarding Ma’s, they serve Halal meat, which doesn’t mean much to the normal Joe, but it’s a process of how the meat is prepared, also make sure you have cash if you aren’t planning on spending more then $20 since they don’t (I talked my way out) take credit cards for orders under 20 bucks!
Since I was there for lunch I ordered off their Lunch Special menu, where all meals start at $6.50 and work there way up from there to a max of $8.00, all specials come with tea, soup, egg roll, and rice. Overall it’s a great deal especially when you realize how much food you get. Let me show you what I got for less then 8 bucks…
Honestly, it was probably enough food for nearly two people, but I enjoyed it too much to want to share.
Service was prompt and attentive and I was surprised with how busy it got as I ate my meal. It wasn’t packed, but they get a good amount of large groups during lunchtime on Fridays. I’m looking forward to future visits to Ma’s, in fact I’ll take Mrs. DanGarion next time, and I’ll suggest she try the Orange Chicken, it’s fabulous.
