This has been out favorite restaurant for Chinese food for 40 years! The food is consistently good. They have the best egg flower soup, egg rolls, fried rice and beef in foil. We have NEVER found subgum dishes anywhere as well prepared as they are here. The vegetables are perfectly diced cooker but still fresh crisp and the sauces are well seasoned-deliciousness. The prices are reasonable and the servings are enough to take home leftovers. We have move away from Emporia but still drive an hour to enjoy a meal here.

Great lunch menu and fresh and hot food. Excellent service!

We were just passing through town decided to give this place a try. The interior had us worried for a second but the food was fantastic. We ended up getting two orders of egg rolls and crab rangoon, both were amazing. I ordered fried rice and it to was amazing. My other half ordered a poultry dish I think moo goo guy pan which he devoured. We will defiantly go back next time we pass through.

House of Ma is a hidden treasure in Emporia Kansas and really a must go. The food is well prepared, plentiful and tastes fantastic. While the building is a little worse for wear the service and traditional feel makes up for it and is quite the local gem. Prices are very reasonable especially post pandemic. The staff are always smiling and engaging with customers and prompt with take service without being overbearing like some restaurants can be. Dining here supports the state, supports locally and supports the hard working people that prepare the food, serve the tables and make your dining experience enjoyable.

I think we’ve been dining at the House of Ma for over 40 years, Nostalgia or Time Capsule may be the primary flavor, but it always is good! Still my favorite Chinese food, and still the standard by which all (including my own) Pork Fried Rice shall be measured

Has been my favorite Chinese food for years! Very nostalgic to me. Always consistent flavors. We love the family dinner and the plumb sauce! A “must have” when I come back home!

Great authentic Chinese food with no buffet! Real old-time restaurant. Teapot on the table. Chopsticks on request. You do use chopsticks, don't you? The dining experience is much better with chopsticks! 'Beef in foil' is very different and I did not like the first taste. However, I did like it after a few bites. I would order it again.

Best Chinese Food! We drive here from Topeka. Love the egg rolls, fried rice, appetizer tray, egg flower soup …
