Tim Ma Hospitality is a Washington, DC-based hospitality group celebrating the Asian American experience through restaurants and bars that are as culturally rooted as they are critically acclaimed.

Founded by Chef Tim Ma — a classically trained chef and former electrical engineer — the group draws from a deep family tradition in the restaurant industry with over 18 years of hospitality in creating concepts and managing operations. With its flagship concepts, Lucky Danger, Any Day Now, and Sushi Sato, Tim Ma Hospitality is earning widespread praise from the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal for reimagining what dining is today. Lucky Danger landed in Washington DC Eater 38 and #21 in Washingtonian Magazine’s 100 Very Best Restaurants for 2026. Any Day Now is its most ambitious all-day dining experience — a neighborhood spot offering creative takes on American and global cuisine from morning coffee to late-night cocktails, with a now-iconic scallion pancake breakfast sandwich that has quickly become a DC institution.



Beyond the hospitality, Chef Ma co-founded Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate, raising over $200,000 across four cities. In 2025, he also co-founded DC Chinatown Revitalization that is working towards rebuilding our nation's capital Chinatown back to its former self, as well as a renewed cultural interest in the historical area — a reflection of the group’s belief that hospitality carries a responsibility to the communities it serves.
