About Mah’s Market
From Our Family’s Kitchen to Yours
At Mah’s Market, we believe great food doesn’t just nourish — it connects generations, cultures, and communities. That’s why every dumpling we fold is rooted in tradition and made with care, using the same recipes passed down in our family for decades. What started in a small Vancouver diner has now grown into something much bigger — a way to share our most loved dish, premium pork gyoza, beyond our café walls and into homes across Canada.
Our Story: Born in the Back of a Diner
We’re the team behind Northern Cafe, Vancouver’s hidden gem since 1949 and Vancouver Magazine’s 2025 Best Brunch winner. In that cozy diner above a lumberyard, our handmade gyoza became an unexpected favorite — ordered alongside pancakes, eggs Benny and wonton soup.
When customers started asking to take our dumplings home, we knew something special was happening.
The inspiration for Mah’s Market came from our desire to share the comfort and joy of our recipes with a wider audience, driven by the love and support of our family and customers.
So we launched Mah’s Market — a place where you can now find freshly made gyoza, packed with real ingredients and ready to bring comfort wherever you are.
Our Story: From Our Kitchen to Yours
Mah’s Market was founded with a simple mission: to make it easy for everyone to enjoy restaurant-quality frozen gyoza and dumplings at home. Our founder, Connie Mah, grew up learning the art of dumpling making from her grandmother, who believed that the best meals were made with fresh, local ingredients and a lot of heart.
After years of perfecting our recipes and sharing Northern Cafe guests, we realized there was a need for delicious, convenient, and authentic frozen dumplings. That’s when Mah’s Market Frozen Gyoza Dumplings was born.
What We Stand For
At Mah’s Market we’re driven by three simple principles:
Quality

We know life can be busy but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste or time. Our products are designed to help you balance your busy schedule with the preparation of comforting and delicious meals.

Heritage
Our dumplings are rooted in tradition — from how they’re folded to what they represent. We honour our family, culture and craft in every pack we make.
Comfort
We don’t sell food. We deliver moments — warm, nostalgic, satisfying. The kind of comfort food that tastes like home, wherever that may be.
Connection
From Vancouver locals to new customers across the country, we believe food has the power to bring people together. Mah’s Market is how we share that joy, one gyoza at a time.
