Ah Ma’s Kitchen — Restaurant in San Francisco

My bestie and I were excited to see a new spot open up in our neighborhood and we are so happy we stopped there for dinner tonight!

We loved everything we ordered!

We got the dragon shrimp, salt and pepper calamari, the dried scallop fried rice, honey walnut shrimp and we split a chicken pineapple bun and I had the XXXL boba milk tea.

The dragon shrimp was super flavorful and a little spicy. Almost like a Thai chili sauce! We will definitely order again when we come back!

The calamari was so good and you get a huge portion since it's on the large plate section!

The honey walnut shrimp was AMAZING! They are Huge portions of shrimp and the sauce is so good.

The chicken pineapple bun was one of the BEST and most juicy chicken sandwiches I have ever had! We loved it so much and we want to try the pork one next time. The pineapple bun was sweet and went well with the chicken. If you want to split it with someone just let your server know and they will slice it in half for you! I recommend splitting it so you don't get too full and can enjoy the other items you order!

The dried scallop fried rice was so simple and Delicious. We added the veggies/crispes that were with the calamari and it was so yummy added in!

The xxxl boba milk tea was great and was what I was most excited for. They are grass jelly and you get a spoon to eat them with and the milk tea was just the right amount of sweet!

The staff and servers were so nice! We did not wait long to order or to get our food. They were very attentive and made sure to check on us every little bit to see how we were doing.

You get a couple sets of disposable gloves when you're seated and we used those when eating our chicken pineapple bun. We loved that they gave us those so our hands didn't get super messy.

If you like taking photos of your food then you're gonna love the lighting! And the inside of the restaurant is cute and simple.

Also please know ahead of time or ask the staff if you need to, because the large dishes and the fried rice dishes are meant to be shared! They are large portions and you get your own plate! They give you a serving spoon with each large dish like the honey walnut shrimp and rice and you get a small bowl and spoon with the rice!

We will definitely be back to try all the dishes we didn't get to today!

You can do dine in or carry out as well.

Thanks for the delicious food Ah...

This place was recommended to me by a close one of mine and I knew immediately I had to give it a try. Upon arrival, it was dinner time, but the place still had some tables available for dine in. They are known for their foil baked chicken which I ofcourse ordered, you can either get half or the whole chicken. Also you can either choose for them to break up the chicken for you or you can do it yourself and they will supply you with gloves. Their menu is simple, it consists of appetizers, pineapple bun sandwiches, wok fried items, soups, fried rice, stir fried noodles, drinks and much more unique and delicious items. Everything is made to order which is always a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The service is great, thanks to their very welcoming, well trained and understanding staffs were it made my visit a satisfying one. As time went by, the place quickly filled up and their to go orders pilled up. I heard this place had just recently opened this month and it is definitely worth a try. Their portion size is good for individuals or for sharing. I highly recommend this place to all Chinese food lovers, to anyone willing to try some thing new or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they...

I was really excited to try Ah Ma's Kitchen, mainly because of the "XXXXL Boba" they were advertising, but unfortunately, they had run out the day I went. I first stopped by during lunch when it was pretty packed, so I returned for dinner. I didn’t order much since I had a late lunch, but I tried the salted chicken wings, Kilin chicken, and their regular milk tea.

The chicken wings were okay but a bit underwhelming, once you get past the salted egg crust, the chicken itself was pretty bland. Their signature Kilin Chicken was an experience, though. You can either eat it yourself or have the staff break it down for you. I expected a whole chicken, but it turned out to be just half. Overall, the food was mediocre. The only reason I’d consider coming back is to finally try...
