About Tim Ma Hospitality

We believe that hospitality is a radical act. Founded by Chef Tim Ma, our group is built on the idea that great food should be accessible, meaningful, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve. From Michelin-recognized fine dining to high-volume Chinese-American takeout, our portfolio is diverse, but our mission is singular: to build restaurants that have a soul.

We aren't a corporate machine; we are a collection of chefs, creators, and hospitality professionals who care about the 'why' as much as the 'what.' We’re a DC-based team with national recognition, but we stay grounded by investing in our people and building spaces where our team can grow, lead, and build a career they are proud of.

• Team Support: Communicate clearly with the Sous Chef/Expo and assist your teammates when your station is clear.
