We had pretty good service and the staff answered questions about their food options. Plenty of seating inside if you'd like to dine in. We ordered two plates and the spring rolls. Fried rice: 4/5 The rice was pretty good but not like other places where there's egg & veggies. I feel like the lack of these ingredients made it a little plain. I think you could do either white rice or fried for a similar experience. Chow mein: 3/5 Pretty okay at the most. Isn't too overly greasy and not super long noodles. Not much to say about this item. Broccoli Beef: 3.5/5 Okay flavor, good amount of sauce. We appreciated that it wasn't too dry but the beef was chewy. Some pieces inedible. Orange Chicken: 4/5 Very tasty and the sauce had a good savory flavor. The right amount of crisp and not chewy. Would order again! Bbq Pork: 4/5 Very tasty but a little dry. I really liked that they included sauce on the side to add to your preference. Big pieces of meat though which made for a large portion. Would get again. Teriyaki chicken: 3/5 The chicken was ok.. had some tough pieces of skin so we had to remove. The chicken itself was nothing special, tasted like any other teriyaki chicken. Predictable and quick option if you want something local & fast. Spring rolls: 3/5 Good value and nice option for a quick lunch add on or side. While a little cold, it still had good texture & flavor. Would stop by for this again. Overall, it is a good spot if you're already in the area trying to find something quick. The portions are huge and will get you full, but it isn't the most flavorful takeout we've had. There are definitely other options in the area that can hit both flavor & quick pickup in one go. Unlikely to return unless I was in a rush for something fast.

Lots of regulars in the restaurant it seemed. On this night , there were short staffed and I had to remind my server about my order a few times. The manager came out to apologize. She was a very good manager and handled things well. She offered me a discount, but I refused. Instead, she gave me a refreshing watermelon drink on the house. I will come back, next time I'm in town.

I've passed by Mama Lu's on Garvey every day but had never actually stopped in. After visiting…read moretheir second Monterey Park location previously and finding it just okay, I was curious if this original spot lived up to the constant lines and local hype. When you arrive, be sure to write your party size on the sign-in sheet to secure your spot--there often isn't staff at the door to assist, so you'll need to manage it yourself. We visited after a long day and only had to wait about 30 minutes. Overall, the food was pretty average--or "mid," as the kids say--and I didn't feel it lived up to the hype. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: * #26 Shanghai Style Chow Mein ($13.99): This was the standout. The noodles are thick, almost udon-style, and it's great comfort food. I would definitely come back just for this dish. * #1 XLB Juicy Pork Dumplings ($9.99): These were just okay. Not bad, but not great, and I'd likely choose somewhere else for dumplings next time. * #16 Spicy Wontons with Pork and Shrimp ($11.99): These didn't "wow" me, though I did enjoy the chili oil. I might order these again. * #62 French Style Beef Tenderloin ($17.99): The meat was very soft, but I've had better versions elsewhere, so this will be a skip for me in the future. * #83 House Special Fish Fillet ($15.99): It was very crispy with flaky fish, but the batter was quite heavy. It was enjoyable at first, but I got tired of it quickly. While the Shanghai Style Chow Mein is worth a revisit, nothing else stood out enough to make this a regular spot for us. It's a 3.5/5 experience, but I probably won't be back anytime soon.

On a Saturday packed house but good service!

China boy is there any possible way I can give you more than 5 stars? Because if I could i would in a heart beat thats how good you are. I ordered soup today and I was very annoyed because I just got broth and then I realized the geniuses at this amazing restaurant separate the broth, noodles and vegetables so as a result when you combine all three ingredients you get a soup that is full of wontons and vegetables and noodles.. its DELICIOUS! I wish more places did that. The boba is delicious. I am sad because I don't live in the area any longer so I can't eat here as often but I always make sure to stop by when I am in the area. Tomorrow I am ordering one of their beautiful cakes and taking it to a family gathering where I have no doubt everyone will be amazed at how lovely and delicious it is. dear china boy.. whatever you are doing please don't change.. your prices, food qualify and service are impeccable. Also, it makes me feel so good knowing you are a family owned restaurant. Keep up the wonderful work and open more locations in my AREA! please!!! :) :) read more

It actually took me back to growing up and coming here, and I am really glad to see the quality is still holding up since I am just in town for a bit. That was a nice surprise. The only downside for me was the boba. Since it is more of a fast casual setup I get it, but the boba pearls were pretty hard so I am not sure if they are made fresh or sitting a bit too long.
