• Craving xiao long bao outside of dim sum hours? Mama Lu's Dumpling House always pulls through -- if you don't mind a little bit of a wait, that is.

• Would not go back here. We sat down at 8:30pm and by 9 we were asked to pay and finish up or take out the food. Not a good experience as I didn't get the chance to enjoy the food I ordered.

• The beef noodle soup is the best. The pork dumplings are excellent. Great services. My family, my friends and I are dining here all the time.

• Shanghai cuisine so everything is sweet. Surprisingly, the spicy oil dumpling were not sweet. Very good value for the price though it's not exactly the best.

• The XLB, green onion pancake and kung pao chicken were all great. 20 min wait on a Tuesday night. Def busy and service is lacking but food more than makes up for it.

  by James T

  
  

• Thin-skinned, soup-filled xiao long bao without the long wait of Din Tai Fung, whose Arcadia location is (let's face it) not as good as Taiwan's anyway.

  by Katherine M.

• Dumpling is da bomb!

  by Kidd W.

  
  

• 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
