Great for family style meals. Can’t really go wrong with any dish, but I feel like the vegetable dishes are what really stands out to me

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.

Had the pork chops, green beans, rice and tea. The pork chops where very tasty. The beans didn't have much flavor.

Terrible service. We were shouted to by the waiter as we waited in the narrow corridor for our table to move out of her way. A table opened for 8 and we are a party of 6, so they refused us to sit there. Hard to wave the waiter over for water refill or even getting another set of utensils. Food is lackluster and too oily. Never will return again.

There was no wait time for a party of 2 and the food came out relatively fast and it was delicious. The Spicy Wontons with Pork and Shrimp were good and had a nice kick 🌶. Also ordered the Pork and Crab Dumplings and the name was correct they were really juicy and packed with flavor. Pan fried Dumplings were also nice and crispy. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was my personal favorite. Overall had a great experience with the food and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Mama Lu's Dumpling House stands out as a destination for anyone seeking an authentic and high-quality dining experience. The restaurant delivers a remarkable blend of traditional flavors and impeccable execution, making it a standout in the region's vibrant food scene.

The most notable item on the menu is, without a doubt, the juicy pork dumplings. Unlike many others, these dumplings are meticulously crafted with a delicate, thin skin that perfectly encases a savory broth and tender pork filling. The classic pairing with finely shredded ginger and black vinegar provides a balanced and unforgettable taste.

The pan-fried dumplings are equally impressive, boasting a perfectly golden-brown, crispy bottom that contrasts beautifully with their juicy interior.

Beyond the dumplings, the menu features a variety of exceptional dishes. The beef roll, a standout for its textural complexity, combines a flaky, pan-fried pancake with flavorful beef and a touch of sweet hoisin sauce. Additionally, the spicy pork and shrimp wontons are a must-try.

Served in a vibrant, spicy sauce, they offer a satisfying heat that complements the freshness of the wontons without overpowering them.

Complain about the food is too salty with the waiter but they responded no way to improve because the food already cooked

Went with a big group of 10 for lunch and ordered family style dishes. Wow. This place is amazing. The food came out quick and kept coming out. Fast service and delicious food. If you are in the area, you have to eat here.

Tried this place for the first time. When I got there there was no wait, we were seated immediately. They bring you a tea while you wait. We ordered a lot of plates because it was our first time and we weren’t sure how much came in each. The servings are very big and everything was tasty.
We ordered chow mein, broccoli beef (broccoli was crunchy and fresh), one of the fired rice, dumplings, and wonton soup.
The best of those was definitely the broccoli beef, chow main and the dumplings.

I will definitely be back. When we left there were plenty of people waiting to eat, so if you go during prime dinner and lunch times there will be a wait.
