    Dumplings!!!
    Alane O.

    This place is great. Come hungry!!!! It's a little Korean food kitchen there's 5 different businesses serving various Asian delicacies, drinks and desserts. We didn't even get to try half of them because we came for the dumpling left happy to with dumpling belly. The dumplings were great but surprisingly the soup dumplings were my least favorite. Little too think for me, but at this point I'm really just being picky. Defenitly will be back.

    Pork & Chives and Cucumber Salad (Cold Dish)

    Lao Ma Dumplings did NOT disappoint! I stopped in for the first time and absolutely loved everything I tried. We will definitely be coming back because there are still so many things on the menu I want to try! I ordered the 8-piece pork & chive dumplings, pan-fried, and they were SO good. That crispy, golden pan-fried exterior with the juicy, flavorful filling was exactly what I was hoping for. I also got the cucumber salad, BBQ pork buns, and a side of the non-spicy garlic soy sauce, and everything was delicious. The BBQ pork buns were soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor, while the cucumber salad was such a refreshing little side. One of my favorite things about Lao Ma is that you can actually see them making the dumplings fresh -- I love when you can see the food being prepared right there! It makes the whole experience feel even more special and authentic. The location itself is also such a cute concept. Lao Ma is tucked inside Niu Mama Kitchens, a small Asian food hall inside a strip mall with several different food concepts all under one roof. It has this cozy, casual, bustling little vibe that makes you want to walk around and try EVERYTHING. Everyone was friendly, the space was clean, and the food came out fresh and delicious. I already know our next visit is going to involve trying more items because I have my eye on several things now!

    Deserts and drinks

    Very clean and great fresh Asian food, the staff was very pleasant and welcoming. The food was very tasty, lots of flavor and authenticity. I would definitely recommend the restaurant because it has multiple restaurants inside one location with food , special deserts, drinks and hot ramen!

    The current menu as of 8/14/26.

    The food is divine! For a primarily savory spot, I was really impressed with their ube and custard buns. The women working there were so friendly and the service was prompt! The ambiance here feels like a little community, because it has like 5 different pan Asian restaurants inside with tables where families and friends are sitting down and enjoying each other's company. Highly recommen

    Definitely recommend checking them out!! very friendly and clean food was very good too

    My friend and I decided to check this place out after seeing various food ads and foodie group posts. This is a food stall located inside Niu Mama Food Hall. There are a few vendors located inside, that include Japanese, Korean & Chinese. We opted to try Lao Ma Dumplings. We ordered Special Pan Fried Shrimp dumplings, Mama's Potstickers (Egg, Chive & glass/vermicelli noodles) and spicy wontons. The Potstickers were some of the best I have ever had outside of LA and San Francisco. They were seasoned well and perfectly pan seared. The special pan fried shrimp dumplings included that crispy "skirt". The spicy wontons were ok, but not spicy for me, but seasoned well. Again, the general seating is shared food court seating, so you just pick a table to enjoy your food for dine-in. It was clean and orderly. The lady that took our order was friendly and their cleaning staff was quick to clean up tables. I would definitely come back to try other food stalls.

    Dumpling combo

    The dumplings here remind me of the dumplings my mom used to make when I was a kid. I shared the dumpling combo and the crawfish dumplings. It was plenty to share and they were well seasoned and had just the right amount of filling. I appreciated that they add an extra layer of cornstarch slurry to the dumplings for when they pan fry them to add an extra layer of crispy crunchiness. Service was pleasant and friendly. This shop is part of the Niu Mama food hall so you order at the counter and take a seat at any of the tables available.

    Very delicious dumplings and affordable prices for good portions recommended !! delicious

    The food was great. We got the teriyaki chicken pan fried dumplings. They were amazing taste of fresh and off the grill.! we also got the pork bow buns. They were amazing.! I will definitely recommend it to family and friends. It is a great place and great family environment.!

    Great dumplings. We tried five different kinds and loved them all. The food hall was a fun spot.

    Golden Dragon is a small very casual take out type Chinese Restaurant located in Glendale. It is…read moreextra casual here. You order, pay at the counter and grab your beverage from the refrigerator. Your meal is packed in styrofoam so you either take out or eat in at one of the few tables inside. Parking is very easy because they are at the end of a strip mall in a big parking lot. Our food was very fresh. Portions were very large. The chicken in our dishes was masterfully moist and very tender. The food is a very good value if you like it. We ordered the yui shan chicken and the garlic chicken combos (only around $1. more to get soup, crab puff, egg roll and an upgrade from white rice to fried rice.) Based on only trying two dishes my conclusion is that they serve Arizona Style American Chinese Food. It is far less complex, less flavorful, and much less spicy than east coast American take out Chinese Food. It's not bad food in anyway so if you are from Arizona it is very good food. We started eating at the restaurant but I got the idea that I could take the food home and improve it for my taste. The food stayed piping hot and it did taste much better with just a spoonful of chili crisp added more flavors and some needed heat. The people working there seemed very nice and the restaurant looked sparkling clean. 3 stars is a positive review and means A-OK on Yelp. Give this place a try if you are good with Arizona Style Take Out Chinese Food.

The service is quick and convenient for a pick up. People are constantly picking up orders. I've eaten there as well, it's a very clean place. I just rather order ahead and take it home with large portions. The people are very nice. I recommend this place for Chinese food.

I visited early in the afternoon - after the lunch rush - but still during the lunch hours. First, the greeting was very unfriendly. The server was distracted conversing with another server and paying little attention to our order. Absolutely zero friendliness. I felt I was an intruder! I ordered a Diet Coke. It was horrible. Obviously, the syrup was low so I had basically unflavored carbonated water. I had the lunch special for General Zso chicken. Zero taste. The egg roll was uninspiring. The egg drop soup was mediocre- at best. And, the entire restaurant was freezing. It was 110+ degrees outside. So, a cool place is welcomed. And I like the temperature cool - like, my home thermostats are set between 70 and 72 in the summer. But, the temperature in the restaurant was much, much colder. Simply, unpleasant experience. I left without eating my lunch. I had a taste of the Diet Coke, a bite of the chicken, a bite of the egg roll - and nothing else. This place made my list! (Of do not return)... and, I am on a continued search for a good Asian restaurant in the Phoenix area.
