There seem to be a lot of new Mama Lu’s locations opening up in the SGV, but I’ve never tried them before. This Arcadia location is one of the newer ones, so when my friends suggested coming here, I was excited to check it out.

Parking in the back was surprisingly not very easy, considering I came on a rainy day during lunch. There are only about five parking spots in front of the restaurant. There are other parking spots nearby, but most of them are marked for the bank next door.

The layout is pretty much the same as the old Tasty Garden that used to be at this location. When I went in, the restaurant wasn’t very busy, and I was able to choose any open table I wanted. As I walked in, I barely saw any servers around.

We ordered xiao long bao, beef rolls, Yang Chow fried rice, and French-style beef tenderloin. Overall, everything was good. The xiao long bao was juicy, the fried rice was tasty and not too oily, and the beef was tender. The beef roll, however, was just okay.

The service was decent, especially if you don’t mind waiting, since you don’t see the servers around very often.

They also sell Cantonese BBQ at the front, so don’t forget to take some home with you when you leave.

Ordered the Peking duck, soup dumplings, spicy dumplings and beef roll.

Duck was good(bone in) and the Chinese broccoli that came with it was delicious.

Spicy dumplings were okay, kind of bland.

Soup dumplings were fantastic.

Beef roll was surprisingly good. (Pretty much a large oversized egg roll)

The shrimp scramble eggs is my favorite dish here. Dumplings with pork and leeks are amazing.

Came here for lunch and there was no wait for a table. They also weren't super busy so it's not too loud inside.

We ordered the French Style Beef Tenderloin, Sauteed String Beans, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Juicy Pork Dumplings, Egg Tofu Mixed Mushroomsn and Soup Filled Siu Mai. We also ordered 3 bowls of rice on the side but that is an extra charge of $1 each, which isn't too bad. They have a drink menu but not many drinks to choose from so I didn't get one.

The dishes were served really fast which was great. I enjoyed the tofu dish the most since I have always liked this soft tofu and they made it pretty well. The rest were pretty average but I enjoyed them. A good choice for lunch.
