Description

Ma's Dim Sum does indeed serve dim sum - there's a bakery case in the front with dumplings and cakes, and the occasional table splits a plate of sesame balls - but the "cafe" in its name seems more apt. With its checked linoleum flour, pink walls, and wood laminate tables, the small, placid restaurant looks like it could serve cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven rather than homey Cantonese stir-fries. Ma's clay pot rice dishes with some combination of spareribs, Chinese bacon, and salt fish are aromatic and humbly elegant.
