Mama Lu's Dumpling House

Are you kidding me — Mama Lu's Dumpling House is the BEST Chinese restaurant in all of LA, and I will absolutely defend that claim.

Everything is consistently delicious, always comes out piping hot, and the service is excellent. It’s also incredibly affordable for the quality and portion sizes — we always leave with plenty of leftovers.

Our go-to order includes the crispy noodles, coconut buns, siu mai, and the rice cakes, which are absolutely to die for.

We’ll definitely keep coming back again and again!

I spent thirty minutes waiting in line at this location before realizing my online order was actually placed to another Mama Lu's. The employees were very nice about it, though!

The food here is not only amazing but it’s also very affordable in comparison to other dim sum places. I went with my wife and some family for a total of 6 people. It was about a 30-minute wait time for a table. My wife and I ordered the salt & pepper chicken wings, pork buns, and soup dumplings. All of our food was very very delicious. The service is a bit odd it seems like the waiters can be somewhat impatient or in a rush which is understandable during a lunch rush. However, we were asking for waters and after the 3rd person asked for a water the waiter lowered her notepad and just asked “ok so how many waters here” like she was bothered or annoyed. Again, not that big of a deal especially when the food and prices account for a huge part of Mama Lu’s success. My wife and I ate for $44 including tax and service charge with no drinks just the 3 plates.

Absolutely enormous servings of Cantonese and Chinese food. The Yang Chow fried rice and egg tofu dishes are awesome. The eggplant needed some salt, but it was otherwise pretty good. The fried fish was delicious. The menu is so huge and the servings so large for what you pay for that there's no reason not to try something. The food also tastes great reheated as leftovers!

Today, I ordered clams with black bean sauces to go. The wait was 45 minutes even though I ordered before I go there. then, to my surprise—when I got home, open my box of clams—missing at least 10 to 12 clams out of 24 or 25 clams. This businesses have been suited before for Tax issues but now they are shady in stealing my foods. I would not recommend this place for anyone living in San Gabriel valley.
