Ma's Dim Sum Cafe - San Francisco

Wow the best clay pot rice I’ve had in North America. It actually resembles the ones I’ve had in China. Very fragrant, perfectly seasoned and reasonably priced. You know it’s authentic when every customer speaks Chinese.

Fantastic claypot rice with nice, acxomodating service.

This is the best claypot rice I’ve had on the West Coast. It’s pretty old and beware of flies inside as they leave their door open. But it’s worth it. Perfectly crispy rice on the bottom and the sauce is nicely balanced. We ordered the claypot with spareribs and preserved meat.

Amazing claypot, however hours are inaccurate and they are closed every Thursday!

There was one table free at about 2pm on a Sunday. Everyone seemed to be eating clay pot rice so we ordered one each. As mentioned on the menu, it took a while for the food to arrive. The rice was nice and crispy with just the right amount of char. It wasn't too stuck on either. They provided a sauce dispenser but I didn't use it much. Having tried spare ribs, salty fish, and a combination with sausage and bacon, I'd recommend the combo. The only thing missing was veggies. Next time I think we'll share some clay pots and a veggie dish.
