Reviews
Definitely recommend and will be coming back!
1. House Special Chow Mein: 3/5 – just like a typical fastfood chow mein because of the noodles, big fat chow mein noodles, not special or unique about it. The sauce and taste was good. We were told by the waiter that there were shrimp, squid, and roasted pork but we only got fish, squid, and roasted pork. The menu didn’t say so who knows what are supposed to be in the dish…
2. Juicy crab dumplings: 4/5 – pretty good but found no crabs or tasted crabs… it was all ground pork…it tasted good, the dumpling wrapper was thin, dumplings were juicy and tasty.
The restaurant was not busy so we got seated right away and foods came out promptly.
Because we didn’t get the ingredients in our dishes as described… so make sure you get what you order.
2. Must-try dishes include the garlic ribs, basil clams, dim sum, and Shanghai-style stir-fried rice cakes—all flavorful and satisfying.
3. Located inside a food market near Irvine, it’s a perfect spot for a tasty, affordable meal with takeaway options too!
Love the cooking and food, service was polite and courteous as well. We ordered 4 dishes for 3 ppl and the final bill including tax, fees and 18% tip was $81. Good value!
My second time back and for the best reason
I live farther now so coming to Mama Lu’s is definitely a treat and it was a special day so we did the drive out and of course did not disappoint!!
They had two new items on the menu:
Bombay duck fish and red bean pancakes: both 10/10
Hot and sour soup: 100000/10 my absolute favorite
Sweet and sour chicken: 9/10, only cause I’m not a fan of pineapple and it had some chunks but that’s me
House special chow mein: 10000/10 it was JAM packed with all types of protein: chicken, squid, Chinese sausage so so good
Garlic green beans: 10/10 can not go wrong with them, plus topped with Chinese sausage
Pork dumplings: 100/10 the main reason we came, their dumplings are so good here. Juicy and tender, honestly way better than Din Tai Fung
Overall the food, service, ambiance, vibe, and price were all so good and reasonable
$90 for 3 people WITH tons of left overs from the insane portion size makes me believe I’m stealing but guess not!!
Definitely coming back again
First review:
Where to begin.. let me just start off by saying that the food, quality, price, service, atmosphere, and taste were all 5/5.
For food we got the spicy pork wontons, egg rolls, juicy pork soup dumplings, peking pork chop, egg drop soup, pork pan-fried dumplings, garlic string beans, and pork chop with spicy salt.
I give every item a 5/5 and comparing it to Din Tai Fung, even more. The portion sizes are double, prices are affordable, and the food is actually fresh and really good. I plan to come back and try other items that I didn’t get, such as the cornish hen and shanghai rice cakes.
The service was impeccable. The server made sure our drinks were always refilled, we got plenty of napkins, and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. He made some great recommendations such as the pork chop with spicy salt and the egg drop soup which were my top 3!!
Overall this place was truly lovely, and my return is guaranteed.
