Mama Lu's Dumpling House

Trinity Reagan a week ago

I came here with my boyfriend and we ordered similar to our Din Tai Fung menu favorites. We got chicken and shrimp spicy wontons, the green beans, chow mien, plus we tried their beef wraps. First of all, nothing that we ordered was more than $15 each and the amount was enough for at least 4-5 people so it was a great deal. The green beans were delicious, similar to Din Tai Fung but with a little spice and I would argue that the chow mien was better here. The shrimp and chicken wontons were good, but not the same as DTF. The beef wraps were good too, they had a sweet sauce, but just not my thing - it could be yours though they were still good. Happily surprised by this restaurant, would come again

Very busy Chinese cuisine restaurant. Authentic Cantonese and Shanghai flavor. Fresh, tasty, good size portions, and reasonably priced. I have gone back many times already. 6 locations overall, Monterey Park on Garvey and Garfield is the best one. Highly recommend.

Love!!!❤️ 💕 this food 🥘 just super delicious 😋 Definitely give it a try. I’ve been to 3 of their locations and this one is by far the best one. We ordered the #1 Juicy Dumplings $9.99, #8 Beef wraps $11.99, #71 French style beef tenderloins $17.99, # 38 Soy sauce chow mein $14.99 and #52 Crab and dried scallops with egg white rice $15.99, it was a total of about $78 plus tip. We’ve had a few other dishes during some previous visits and they have all been super tasty. We’ve had the green onion pancakes, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice , Chinese broccoli beef, spicy wontons and a few others that I can’t remember. We love this place but as always different taste buds for different folks. Give it a try you may love it as much as we do. 😊

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.

Yi Kou Fu (Mama Lu’s) has finally opened in Alhambra, and honestly, it was worth the wait. The prices are very reasonable, the dining space is big and comfortable, and the flavors are super consistent. It is perfect for a casual family meal or getting together with friends. We ordered the walnut shrimp, chive pockets, steamed cod, and black pepper beef, and everything was so good. The food tasted fresh, not greasy, and you can really tell it was cooked with care. Overall, such a satisfying meal. Definitely a five-star spot and one I would come back to again.
