TLDR: • The pan fried dumplings at Lao Ma are exquisite. • This is an Asian food hall with 5 different restaurants.
You wouldn't know from the outside that what appears to be one tiny place actually houses 5 separate & distinct Asian businesses. I think it would be helpful if they changed their Google listing to indicate it as a food hall. (Note: If you want to go shopping inside a restaurant, corporate establishments like Cracker Barrel & Rain Forest Cafe would fit that bill. However, that's a bizarre expectation to have of any restaurant).
We visited during their Lunar New Year celebrations this past weekend, and the decor made it feel extra festive. I loved all the red lanterns and new year's decor. The theme is an Asian night-market; a detail that nobody seems to have picked up on. You'll notice a large mural at the back wall that depicts that vibe. The neon signs at K-Bap & Lao Ma are especially cute & whimsical.
Honestly, I was originally uninterested when they first opened since it's super far away. But that all changed with the pan fried dumplings from Lao Ma. They were the BEST DUMPLINGS I'VE EVER HAD! I am hoping they'll expand to the east valley bc I cannot stop thinking about them, and driving 45 min one-way isn't something I can or want to do all the time. The pan-fried dumplings were expertly seasoned & cooked, from the flavorful, juicy filling to the lacey, crisp skirt. I have made my own dumplings from scratch for 20+ yrs now, but these were absolutely phenomenal.
We also tried the chili oil shrimp wontons. They were cooked nicely too, but the chili oil overpowered the delicate juicy shrimp filling. However, the side of chili crisp was delicious & flavorful; a far better accompaniment IMO. I am looking forward to trying all the other dumplings at Lao Ma.

This is a dope little spot full of flavors and creativity. The food is bursting with authentic flavors and cultures. Flavorful drinks and desserts 🍮 to choose from and friendly customer service. They have a variety of music playing to enjoy with good company while you eat! The restaurants inside are clean as well as the restrooms are too!

Came for the first time and I will definitely come back to try the other restaurants. This time we tried the Lao Ma handmade dumplings and had their signature dumplings wich had pork, egg and shrimp inside and the pork bao. The dumplings and bao where really flavourful.

Niu Mama Kitchens is an awesome place to grab Asian street food that feels fresh, fun, and full of flavor. The dishes are bold and satisfying, with noodles and sauces that really stand out without being overwhelming. Everything tastes thoughtfully prepared, and the portions are filling without feeling heavy. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, making it a great place to eat in or grab food to go. It’s a solid local spot when you’re craving Asian comfort food that’s a little different and consistently delicious.
Yes, there are indeed 5 restaurants inside this 1 place and every one of them is amazing! A must try!

Amazingly, I was served by a very polite young man who was in the first restaurant and helped me choose my dish. He recommended fried rice with prawns, which was truly delicious. I will return to try the sushi because he told me they had a sushi special. I also tried the boba and loved it.
