Blogger Reviews of Mama's Lu
Is It Any Good on Feb 27, 2014

French style beef, beef noodle soup, and of course the juicy pork dumplings
by Stepho O.
Closed on Wednesdays.
by John T.
8 dumplings, a veggie dish, 3 shizitou, 2 bowls of rice for $20? Deal.
by Bianca Lo
One bowl of white rice here is enough for 2 people. Be aware of how hungry you are before you order!
by Edward K.
Their Xiao Long Bao is not bad, but the best in my opinion is still Joe's Shanghai in NYC. Bar Shanghai, China.
by Helen T.
Even though the dumpling was good, service was bad. Long wait on Sunday night. Chef special mushroom beef was lame. Don't think any of chef special is their specialties

Spicy Wontons

XLB are not bad, but I really liked the green onion pancake too. Nice and flaky and not overly greasy
by Jesse A.
Don't eat here if you don't speak mandarin. Racist!
by Mar R.
XLB are a given.. But Mama Lu's Fried Pancake ALSO FTW. So good. Sliced up and sauteed fried pancake w/ pork. So good!
by Starry K.
Buy the 50 piece frozen juicy pork dumplings. It's a really good deal that you can enjoy at home!
by Brittney S.
Their dumplings are really good and they're really cheap too. i also enjoy their noodles with teh minched meat the noodles are chewy in a good way.
by Willa l.
The XLB and the second variation are the stand out choices. Their beef wrap is also decent.
by Jason S.
