“This place is a gem!

My friend and I shared a Fried Oyster / Egg, Minced Meat with Rice, Oyster with Thin Noodle, and Meat Ball (I forgot to take pictures of the latter two).

The portion and price were fair. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance was cute and quiet.

Everything I ordered tasted pretty authentic - can't wait to try more when I return!“

“Excellent customer service!

Maya helped me select the food for my vegan diet because their vegetarian options came with egg. I got kale & fruit salad with black rice and mango chrysanthemum tea. The food tasted really good but a few portions of their kale was not fresh enough.

I will try their drinks and dessert when I come again.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but not vegan. I wish they would make their vegetarian options into vegan with tofu or tempe, and have option to add egg or other things.“

“I often pass by this small shop and have thought countless times about trying the spicy beef noodles. Unfortunately, I always had to wait in line. Today at 1:30 PM, I found an available seat, so I happily sat down and ordered the spicy beef noodles I had been looking forward to, choosing the thick noodles. The first bite took me straight back to Yongkang Street in Taipei—absolutely wonderful!

“Mama Lu Dumpling House is an absolute gem for dumpling lovers! The handmade dumplings are always fresh and bursting with flavor, especially the juicy pork and chive and xiao long bao that arrive perfectly steamed and full of delicious broth. The scallion pancakes are crispy and not too greasy, while the noodle dishes bring authentic, comforting flavors that make you feel like you're in the heart of Shanghai. The ambiance is no-frills, but it only adds to the charm, and the staff is attentive and efficient even during busy hours. If you’re craving authentic Chinese dumplings and noodles, Mama Lu is a must-visit!“

“I have visited JJ Bakery Irvine over a decade. I love their Traditional Taiwanese breads , pastries and sweets. Here are a few items that I would recommend (in pic order)

1. Egg Tart: I always purchase two egg tarts when I have the chance. But, it got sold out quickly.
2.Taro Pastry: Real taro paste, not too sweet. It is very delicious

3. Custard Bread: One of the traditional Taiwanese breads.
4. Scallion Bread: It is savory. Sometimes, I like savory breakfast.

5. Flan: Flan is located at the refrigerator near the entrance. It is dense instead of watery. I love it.

6. Almond Cookie:Perfect snack while I am watching Netflix.( It won’t last 20 minutes though)“
