    I'm making my way through all the Chinamama locations - this is the first one I visited and is still my favorite so far. The first time we ordered the duck, fried rice, the salted egg yolk prawns, noodles, the eggplant (my favorite). I loved everything except the duck. I did not enjoy that as it was a little too far from the roasted duck I was expecting. The service is friendly for a Chinese restaurant and the food comes fast and piping hot and I really enjoy that you can see the chefs making your food. It really adds to the ambiance and know that your food is freshly made. After watching some videos of what other people liked to order, I decided to get the crispy beef and that single dish is life changing. If you order nothing else at chinamama, order the crispy beef. Its sweet. Its savory. Its crispy. Its honestly perfect. If I were to only eat that and the eggplant for the rest of my life, I would be happy.

    My friends and I came here for a Saturday since we were craving some Chinese food. Parking was a bit difficult to find, but we got lucky with a spot. We decided to get order a bunch of dishes to share among the five of us. We got the mapo tofu, Beijing beef, and other dishes that I can't remember off the top of my head. I thought the meal was very yummy and definitely had that traditional taste. I really like the mapo tofu since it had great flavor and wasn't super spicy.

    This one i liked better than noodle papa. Ive been here so many times but finally found the pics for them. Lol! Its super popular here for reasons I don't understand. The food isnt crazy flavorful but the dishes that I love, hits the spot every time. The won tons are good and my favorite scallion pancakes is just yum! The fried rice isn't too bad either. I don't come here often as I end up waiting a bit, but it has been years since I've been here. It feels like a place where you just eat quickly and leave even if sections of the restaurant looks fancy, i still get the feeling of that chinese rush. I thought of this place bc they've become famous now with a location on the strip called "spring" by China mama and another at the palace station with their original "china mama". I most recently tried hao chi and I loved the flavors there, so I can only pay homage to the original!

    If you're looking for authentic and delicious Chinese food, you have to try China Mama! They have a couple of locations but this is the original they made some renovations which came out so nice. The restaurant is clean with a great atmosphere. The food is amazing and came out so fast. My favorite dish is the walnut shrimp but honestly everything on their menu is delicious. Our waitress was Sammi, was incredibly friendly and attentive, she made us feel like VIPs. Definitely one of our favorite date night spots, and we'll definitely be back!

    China Mama is my go-to spot whenever I am craving Chinese food in the Vegas area. While it is a primarily American Chinese restaurant, they have traditionally Chinese food choices that are sure to please all kinds of crowds. When I made a reservation for 10 people, they were accommodating to our group even when we were a few minutes late. It was a clean establishment and with excellent service. All the things we ordered were flavorful and I would order these dishes again. We did family style and ordered the following: Honey Walnut Shrimp, Mamas Special Fried Rice, Mama Mapo Tofu, Pork Joint Stewed With Rock Sugar, Beef Rolls, Crispy Pork with Mama Special Sauce, Salt and Pepper Fish, Green Beans and Soup Dumplings. Every time I am in Vegas, I always make it a point to go to China Mama. While some may say it's Americanized Chinese food, the food doesn't use too much oil and I'm sensitive to oily foods! Excellent service, flavorful food, and great spot for a group

    Honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper pork chops. There are little bones in some of the pork chops, but that's usually normal.

    Went to China Mama in Shanghai Plaza on a Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. I have been to the one at Palace station and I feel the portions and the prices were better here. The one in Palace station definitely feels more upscale, but this one was still really nice. The decor and atmosphere were really nice with high ceilings, comfortable seating, and a window where you can watch into the kitchen, which added a cool touch. One thing to know is that reservations are only available ahead of time for groups of six or more. Luckily, it wasn't too busy when we arrived. We put our name on the list and were about fifth in line. The wait estimate said 12 minutes, but we were seated in closer to eight. We ordered the Mama's Special Fried Rice, stir-fried green beans, salt and pepper pork chops, and honey walnut shrimp. The green beans and walnut shrimp were definitely the highlights for me. Both were really flavorful and cooked well. The fried rice was good, just not anything especially memorable compared to the other dishes. The salt and pepper pork chops were decent, but I personally would've liked them a little crispier and a bit saltier. Service was good overall, and the atmosphere made it a really enjoyable dinner spot. Definitely a place I'd go back to try more dishes.

    I have been wanting to go to China Mama for so long. I finally made it and I was happy that all the recommendations were true. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated. They were friendly and attentive. We ordered some appetizers. The pork soup dumplings. It was filled with a delicious broth. The pancake with scallions was simple but crispy and tasty. The wontons were a bit spicy but was so flavorful. The main dishes were absolutely amazing. The fried rice had mixed of delicious slices of meat. The crispy beef was my favorite. Wow, the flavors were so addictive. I wanted to eat it all. The crispy duck was also delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes.

    Service was amazing throughout our dinner. The latge booths were comfortable and was able to accomodate 4 adults and 3 kids. We went for dinner and surprisingly had no issues finding parking or having to wait. They took us immediately. The food came out fresh and delicious.

    Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough about China Mama! You have many different food options to choose from. No matter what you order, it's going to come out fresh and hot, ready for you to eat and enjoy. The service is very quick as if you were ordering take out. The ambiance at this original location is as if you're transported to an elegant Chinese styled restaurant across the world. Don't skip on the lo mein or green beans!!

    The moment you walk into this place, you can see the workers making the soup dumplings from scratch. To me, it gives me authentic vibes. Love that this place has a huge selection of food. Did family style and ordered a few dishes. I ordered the cucumber salad, beef chow mein, beef rolls, soup dumplings, honey walnut shrimp, green beans and salted egg shrimp. We didn't have any leftovers, it was perfect for 5 people.

    This was our first time visiting China Mama's. Parking was tough in this shopping center. Thankfully, we were greeted upon entrance. Restaurant was jam packed. We were a party of six with reservations. We were sat within 15 minutes of arriving. We ordered so many entrees. Our favorites were walnut shrimp, gyoza, orange chicken, crispy beef, and China Mama noodles. We all left soo full. But everything was absolutely delicious!!

    China mama is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas!! It's been a while to visit... it was lunch time on weekday. So it was not busy. The interior/ wall paper was updated since they reopened. More brighter and fancy looking! The server was attentive and friendly. The Jasmin tea which is complementary, tastes very good and served very hot!!! That was pros of this visit!!! The food we ordered was *Big mouth roll(our favorite) With soy sauce and chilli sauce I like that better. *Crispy beef( first time) it tastes good but too salty for me... *Stir fried green beans (our favorite) It's good. But felt less crunchy than usual... maybe little bit overcooked. We Love China mama but Overall, Jasmin tea was the most great point of this visit...

    Hey, y'all…read more Y'all... I guess I've been living under a rock because I'm just now finding out about Cheongdam Food Hall! Where have I been?! Anywhoddles I ordered from Eki Ramen, and when I tell y'all this ramen was RAMENING! Aka delicious. Aka... fire I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and as you can see from the menu, it was only $12.95. I added an extra egg, extra pork belly, and extra black garlic oil because... why not? Anywhoddles with the extra "trimmings" it came to $18 dollars. Let's get back to the review Now lean in so I can tell y'all about this broth. It tasted authentic to me. It was rich, velvety, silky smooth, creamy without being heavy, and bursting with savory goodness. Every sip had me closing my eyes The noodles had the perfect bite--not too soft and not too firm. The pork belly was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of char around the edges. And those eggs? Whew! Perfectly jammy with that beautiful golden yolk. So... if you're a ramen lover--or if you've been thinking about trying ramen for the first time--I highly recommend giving Eki Ramen a try. And while you're there, take your time and explore Cheongdam Food Hall because there are plenty of other restaurants waiting to be discovered. Until next time... y'all already know what time it is! I'll be doing a boomerang back to this spot because there are way too many restaurants in this food hall for me to stop at just one!

Our server greeted us immediately and we ordered a couple of our usual dishes which included the fried chicken with hot soy garlic sauce and Bulgogi french fries. We also wanted to try out their Tonkatsu which was reasonably priced and it came with rice, salad, and a potato croquette. They do not skimp when it comes to portion-sizes, so you'll definitely get your moneys worth. As always, the fried chicken was absolutely delicious. It was fried to perfection with a crispy crust, and it was smothered in this sweet and savory umami sauce. The Bulgogi fries had a ton of marinated meat, topped with fresh veggies, and an abundance of cheese. The fries were on the softer side which I actually prefer and all of the flavors blended so well together. My husband said one of his favorite bites of the day was the potato croquette which had a nice crunchy exterior and a soft, creamy center. The Tonkatsu on the other hand tasted very good but it had a somewhat tough texture. One of the main reasons we love this spot is the variety of Bonchon that comes with your meal. The japchae, kimchi, pickled veggies, and fish cakes really make this whole experience even better.

We both really liked the soy garlic and wouldn't order the lemon pepper.
