Saw this on triple D. Ordered the braised beef soup and pork belly bao. The bao bun was a little dry but the pork belly was amazing. The soup had a great depth of flavor in the broth and the noodles were good. Soup comes boiling hot and takes about 15 minutes to be cool enough to eat. Came in at 1:45 p.m. on a Monday and I was the only customer in the seating area. Definitely worth stopping by.

While the service is great, the food is incredibly disappointing and overpriced. Mediocre taste and TINY portions. Ordered to go
...got home to find out we paid $13 for a few pieces of bok choy! To-go bowls were both half empty. Had to order Dominos after eating this to not go hungry. Lesson learned.

Very tasty, not super salty.  Got the Dan Dan noodles with pork.  Perfect chew to the noodles.  The dumplings were tasty, but not as good as the noodle dish.  Will def come again!

I'm so sad because we'd been really wanting to try this place but our food was actually terrible. I am of the: I-paid-I'll-eat-it mindset.. but we had to leave our full plates behind. We ordered the duck bao, chicken curry, and duck wonton noodle dishes, and everything was completely flavorless. All three items were really bad. It was a waste of money and a huge disappointment, especially for a place listed by Michelin. Something must have been off (we visited on a Saturday night)! This place has great ratings overall.. so maybe the cooks had an off-night! This is the first negative food review I've ever left, and I debated not writing it, but I think Michelin listers should be held to that standard all the time.

We’d been wanting to try this place out for a while now, so we ordered some of their famous dumplings, chicken soup, and a couple of their main entrees for dinner delivery. We’ve eaten at tons of of authentic Chinese restaurants in Houston and the Bay Area over the past few years and have had some truly stellar meals, and Zoe Ma Ma is up there with some of the best. The prices and quantity are very reasonable, but ALL of the food we ordered was exceptionally good. The homemade dumplings are among the best I’ve ever had. We plan to try every item on their menu in the next few orders!
