We love Xinjiang food. When we lived in China, it was a staple part of our diet. In Hong Kong, we love to go to Islam Food in Kowloon City (seriously - it's amazing). On this basis, we decided to try Ma's. We left feeling a little cheated.The menu looks good and the classics are all there. We ordered 'veal goulash' (this is what the beef buns are called at Islam Food, making me think that there is a bit of copying going on), lamb roll, beef xiaolongbao, brisket curry and green beans with be
The menu looks good and the classics are all there. We ordered 'veal goulash' (this is what the beef buns are called at Islam Food, making me think that there is a bit of copying going on), lamb roll, beef xiaolongbao, brisket curry and green beans with beef.
The curry came first and it was OK. It tasted more like a Japanese curry if anything, but definitely had a raw curry edge, rather than being very well rounded. The beef was well cooked and it was an acceptable dish.
Next came the beans. They were ok, but a little shrimpy.
The veal goulash were not that great. The bun was too doughy and thick and the meat was lost in them. They weren't soupy enough inside and were basically sub par.
The lamb roll was appalling. It actually tasted like processed pork rather than lamb. It had a bacon/smokey hotdog taste. I am half Greek and grew up eating a lot of lamb. This did not taste like lamb. It was awful.
The xiaolongbao were also pretty poor. They didn't work at all. Not enough soup inside and beef just doesn't work.
So, we will certainly NOT be visiting this place again. If you want good Xinjiang food, go to Islam Food in Kowloon City. It stands head and shoulders above Ma's.
