This is a great location, conveniently located across the street from a parking structure that is super reasonable. I believe it was a dollar for the 1st hour or two hours and then two dollars for the following hour.
Once I was seated, I was immediately greeted and set up with a complementary hot tea and peanuts that are lightly fried and perfectly seasoned balance of a salty sweet. This makes it feel like a very traditional dining experience.
I also ordered an oolong milk tea!
Everything is served family style, what we ordered to share with the honey, garlic, pork, chop, juicy pork, dumpling beef, frappe, and spicy wontons with pork and shrimp. These dumplings are delicious and juicy. There’s not one thing I did not enjoy!
The tables are set up nicely and everything was clean. They were hosting several large parties during this holiday season.
It was a busy Friday evening so I was happy to get seated right away, but shortly after there was a waitlist, so come with the patients.

First time coming to Mama Lu’s and it was great. I got the pork and chives dumplings and they were simple but packed with flavor. The shrimp, pork and chives dumplings were also really good. We also ordered some chicken chow mein noodles and they were ok. I tried the chili oil and it was more flavorful than spicy which I appreciated. The dumplings are the selling point here tbh and they are at a very reasonable price! The dumplings had lots of flavor and were very filling! Definitely recommend this spot for a quick, affordable place to eat!

Shamelessly, I dine here almost once a week. It feels like going home for a meal because I do not cook and their food and service have been always consistently good to me. I visit during the weekdays and always get great and quick service. This location (the pictures are old pictures) is so much better.

New location just off of Green Street and fair Oaks. The juicy pork dumpling was outstanding and of course, you must be careful not to break the skin while you’re eating it to preserve the juices! Service was typical and attentive. I had no problem. It is definitely roomier than their old location off Colorado Boulevard.

Mama Lu’s is one of my favorite dumpling house restaurants. Normally I would frequent the Monterey Park location but stumbled onto the Pasadena location while out shopping. About an hour before closing, the restaurant was fully packed, and somehow they were able to get us seated for two very quickly. The service is phenomenal here, all the staff is very attentive. The Mongolian beef plate and stir fry veggie noodles were out of this world packed with flavor. And can never go wrong with their spicy wontons drenched in chili oil. Beer selection could be better as they only offer two kinds, but nevertheless the food is the star of the show. Have not had a bad dish so far. Highly recommend.

Do you think this place is just another hole in the wall until you look up and see the fabulous art Deco chandeliers, an art deco design of the roof. It’s absolutely stunning. The juicy pork dumplings stole the show they were the best thing there and every table seemed to have an order. We also have the pork fried dumplings and the Kung Pao chicken both of which were good. Drinks aren’t refillable.

Wonderful experience at Mana Lu’s in Pasadena! The soup dumplings were a little disappointing – thick skin and no crab taste. Everything else was excellent (good wok hei) – Shanghai rice cakes (fresh ingredients), salted fish, chicken, tofu (very balanced) and stir fried string beans.

I had the best time at Mama Lu’s in Pasadena with my friends! We usually hang out at the Chinatown spot, but we decided to switch things up and give this one a shot – and wow, what a treat it was!
We dug into all our favorites like the beef wrap, spicy wontons, and crab and fried scallop fried rice, and they were absolutely sensational. The House Special Fish Filet is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and just bursting with flavor.
The Egg Tofu with mushrooms – it was so saucy and savory, with the tofu melting in my mouth like butter. We popped in on a Monday night thinking it would be quiet, but the place was buzzing with good vibes and great food.
The casual yet classy vibe, the quick and friendly service, and the steamy hot, delicious dishes made Mama Lu’s feel like a home away from home. The servers were super sweet and made us feel so welcomed.
I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu. Mama Lu’s is the kind of place where you can kick back, enjoy some amazing food, and make memories with your loved ones.

Authentic and traditional Chinese family style restaurant with a Taiwanese twist ✨
The go-to place for freshly made dumplings. They have the best juicy pork dumplings in the Los Angeles & San Gabriel valley area. Pure bliss in every bite!
A hot pot of jasmine tea and sugared peanuts were served as we checked out the menu. LOVE jasmine tea!!
What we tried:
Chinese Spinach & Pork Wonton Soup
Juicy Pork & Crab Dumplings
Shanghai Rice Cake
Seafood Udon with XO sauce (MUST-TRY)
Perfect for any gathering or date night! Great customer service!
There is a parking structure about a 5 min walk from restaurant: $1 for the first 2 hours!

I had no idea Mama Lu’s opened up a location in Pasadena until recently! I usually go to the Monterey Park locations, which has been a go-to spot for me over the years. The soup dumplings and spicy wontons are my favorite! The beef wraps, fried pork buns, and deep fried prawns are all popular items and must try.
Service here was quick and friendly, the staff were attentive and made sure to check on my table. The interior is definitely different than the Monterey Park locations, I love the beautiful chandeliers! Parking can easily be found at nearby parking structures where you pay to park, I believe the first two hours are $1. This location is in a busy part of Pasadena so you may have to wait to be seated when it gets busy. I’ll be back when I get the chance!
