About Niu Mama Kitchens

Niu Mama Kitchens is an Asian food hall in Glendale housing five separate and distinct restaurants, offering a variety of high-quality Asian street food. The theme is an Asian night-market, with festive decor like red lanterns, a large mural, and cute neon signs. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, with a nice setup that allows everyone to sit together, variety of music, and clean facilities.

The pan-fried dumplings from Lao Ma are repeatedly highlighted as exquisite, phenomenal, and the best ever. Specifically, the Teriyaki Chicken Pan Fried Dumplings are freshly made, hearty, savory, and satisfying with a juicy bite and a lacey, crisp skirt. The signature dumplings with pork, egg, and shrimp and the pork bao are also really flavorful. Other dishes like the chili oil shrimp wontons are cooked nicely, though the oil can overpower, and the accompanying chili crisp is delicious. The Vegetable Lo Mein has hearty portions but average noodles. Overall, dishes are bold, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with authentic flavors, with filling portions.

Service is friendly, kind, and helpful, though food can take a long time as it is prepared to order. The spot also offers flavorful drinks and desserts, with boba made fresh and not too sweet. It is a dope, awesome spot worth a stop for fresh, fun, and consistently delicious Asian comfort food.
