    Not bad but not great, overall experience had me confused but the service was great! Let me start off with some highlights first! The fried calamari was crunchy, flavorful, great! The rice cakes were also great. Overall atmosphere was unique so it was a nice change. The confusing and not so great parts were the cucumbers which were honestly just spicy (not spicy but that was the only flavor they had), scallion pancakes were on the saltier side, thai tea I had to adjust the sugar myself which wasn't necessarily negative but I was confused (only have done this for iced teas which is normal for HK style teas), and a nitpick is that the spicy wonton plate made it so hard to mix the wontons

    I couldn't believe they have a Mama Lu's here! We usually go to the City of Industry and West Covina locations, so it was such a pleasant surprise to find one in Las Vegas. The food tasted just as good as the locations we frequent. We ordered the xiao long bao, shumai, beef roll, and a bubble waffle--which I don't even remember seeing on the menu before! Everything was fresh and delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was attentive throughout our meal.

    Place is at a closed supermarket and they have placed the restaurant at the entrance. They don't have the regular dimsum carts and you have to order from the menu. Ordered shu mai, spare ribs, Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce and salt and pepper squid. I asked for lemon for my water and was given frozen cut lemons. The broccoli came out first. The stalks were tender but the leaves turned into mush. Then came along the squid after a 10 minute wait. The squid were piping hot and very tasty. We were almost done eating the 2 dishes and then came the shu mai which is just average. We're done asked if the spare ribs can be removed and the waitress said that the pare ribs takes longer to cook. Their timing was totally off. While I appreciate the made to order approach, I expect that the standard dim sum plates should come out pretty quick.

    Food: *fish filet with vegetables - very good *Shanghai style rice cakes (nian gao) - very good *Har gow - terrible *cucumber salad - skip, weird spices used *Green onion pancake - skip, undercooked *eggplant - just ok Like the authenticity and large servings. Service: Maria is a great server, knows the menu and is on top of it with a friendly smile. Ambiance: large space with lots of large tables to accommodate large parties. Location: the surrounding area is very ghetto so I wouldn't go there at night, but that's just me. Plenty of parking.

    Shrimp, Chive & Pork Dumpling

    Walking into Mama Lu's Dumpling House, the first thing you notice is the space. You can still see hints of its past life as Taste of Asia, with stall-style sections that make it feel like a former food hall transformed into one large, bustling Chinese restaurant. Plenty of seating, lively energy, and ideal for big groups who want to order family-style. And that's exactly what we did -- a little bit of everything: , , , , , , , Standout dishes: The Salt & Pepper Pork Chop -- crispy, flavorful, and dangerously addictive. The Egg with Shrimp was another surprise favorite: simple, comforting, and executed really well. Portions across the board were generous, which makes sharing the best way to experience the menu. I started using the sauce from the Spicy Wontons as a dip for the siu mai and dumplings... and honestly, that might be the move going forward. The House Special Vermicelli was interesting, especially with the large pieces of calamari mixed in -- not something you see every day. The eggplant dish tasted great, though the cuts were noticeably long, making it slightly less share-friendly at the table. Overall, Mama Lu's feels like a great spot for groups who want variety without overthinking the order. Big space, big menu, and plenty of crowd-pleasing dishes -- come hungry and bring friends so you can try as much as possible.

    Really good Chinese food that isn't super greasy. The chow mein had a lot of flavor and the fried coconut buns were amazing. I think the prices are really fair too! My only issue is that some of their staff is rude and dismissive, I tried asking a man twice for the bill and he ignored me both times and just didn't say anything. That was really weird. But overall the food was delicious

    I noticed Mama Lu's Dumpling House open near my work and decided to stop by. When I walked in I was surprised by how big the space is. It looks like this is part of a larger food hall and Mama Lu's is one of the first places open. I came in on a Friday afternoon at a random time and was seated right away. Carlos and Maria were friendly and made the visit better. The menu stood out because of the variety. There are a lot of options and I already want to come back to try more. I enjoyed everything I ordered and the food felt well made. The space is large clean and comfortable. It is a good spot to sit and enjoy your meal without feeling crowded. Overall, I had a great first visit. I plan to come back to try more dishes and to see how the food hall turns out once it fully opens.

    Beef wrap
    Kelly K.

    Okay so I agree with the other reviewers saying it's not the same as the OG location or Tustin. It's located on the same street as HMart, in a large space that seems like it's still under construction. There's empty food stalls and HK Cafe (from SGV) is going to be opening up in the same space. XLB was...okay. Kind of dry and the skin was not delicate like it should be. Wouldn't recommend for XLB. Shumai was pretty good, but I don't think anything stood out to me. Coconut fried buns were good, nice and crisp on the outside. Also got the beef wrap & I think these items were our favorites. Beef wrap was the right texture and the sauce was very flavorful. Definitely seemed like they were in their early opening stages and would love to come back to try their beef chow fun.

    Very delightful, spacious food court vibes. Close to home to serve the locals, no long lines. We were seated right away. The dishes are made to order and very decent. This spot has a lot of potential.

    Dumpling with chili sauce. It is not spicy at all but more vinegary with olive or sesame oil

    A new Chinese restaurant in town! Plenty of free parking spaces in a shopping center. Upon entering it opened into a large waiting area, then we see something like food court dining area with multiple venues but most were not yet opened. Our family arrived first and got a table and ordered first. Yay for us for not having to decide what to order. As you may know, we are Chinese style which meant ordering multiple dishes and the entire family shares and scoop a small portions onto your own plate. Jay was our server and he gave us superb service. Thank you Jay! He even came by and refill our Thai tea and milk tea and brought us to go cups without needing to ask at the end of our meal. Our family ordered pork soup dumplings, rice cake sautéed with pork and veggies. They were delicious! We also ordered Peking pork, chow mein, sweet and sour soup, pan fried dumplings and finished off with bubble waffle and red beans stuffed pancake for dessert. Boy was I stuffed! This place will do well. I anticipate a busy restaurant and long wait in the future. I can't wait to come back and eat here again

    Sui Mai

    This mama Lus is def a bit different from the OG mama lus in Monterey park. The portions are a lot smaller and the flavors aren't exactly the same. However it's not bad. Parking was easy to find and the restaurant looks like a food court but with no other stalls open. It kind felt like an abandoned food court with just mama lus open lol. But on the bright side there was a lot of seating and space! It was interesting. Service was really quick and nice. I think the best dish we got was the shrimp. It had the most flavor compared to the other dishes. The spicy wontons were also pretty good. I liked the hot and sour soup but make sure to eat it before it gets cold cuz it won't taste as good! The pork dumplings were also really juicy. The dishes I would pass on would be the beef roll since it was too salty. The sui mai was also nothing special. Since they are still in their soft opening they also gave us a free pork dumpling w the purchase of $35! How nice. Overall I feel like there's a lot of potential but it definitely doesn't compare to the og back in 626.

    Location is trash, it's in a deserted plaza off Sahara inside an abandoned food court. ambiance is trash and food is mediocre to poor compared to LA location. Really hoped and wished this place was like LA locations. Some dishes were ok like rice cake and others were horrid like the sheng jian bao. Do not order that. Nothing like what it's suppose to be and suspect it was bought from 168 market and modified.

    Fried coconut buns
    Jeri F.

    A lot of bests here at Mama Lu's dumpling house. The food was so good that I wanted to meet Mama Lu and give her a hug or shake her hand. We usually go to Xiao Long dumplings but I think we're gonna come here from now on. This was the best shumai I've had in Las Vegas, and the best fried rice I've probably ever had. The salt and pepper pork chop was so tender and oh so flavorful. The only thing I wasn't very satisfied with was that the xia long bao was dry and literally had no soup inside anymore, like it was punctured something. And it was every single piece. If they can improve on the XLB, this place will definitely be my go-to dimsum place from now on. It was nice that they gave us a free coconut bun (you also had the option to get chicken dumplings) for spending over $35 as a grand opening promo. The service was also quite good for a Chinese restaurant. The water tasted really good as well, and I judge a place by their service water.

Every dish was fresh and so delicious. Some foods served here might be an acquired taste for those who dont have the foreign food pallette, but I love it. On a Friday afternoon, it was not very busy, so there was no wait and the service was quick and food came out fast and fresh. The 5 dishes plus soup was more than enough for 4 people and could easily feed 6. The complimentary cold tapioca dessert with pumpkin was a traditional delight and beats fortune cookies as a free treat any day. The dessert was semi- sweet and refreshing. I ate it all Unlike the other BBQ restaurant, it was nice and spacious with large tables in case you need to accommodate larger parties. The ambiance reminds me of typical Chinese restaurants back in the day and it gave a comforting nostalgic feel. The cloth linens and lazy susan topped off the throwback vibe. But as a contest to those old restaurants, it was organized and clean and no funky odors lingering. It was a pleasant dining experience and had great food. I really want to come back again next time I visit Las Vegas

It's a popular spot with the locals, and you can definitely tell by how busy it gets, especially during peak hours. They have a great variety of dim sum, and there are so many good options to choose from. Some of my personal favorites are the noodles, shumai, har gow, eggplant, and Chinese broccoli, but honestly, there's still so much more I enjoy ordering. Everything is flavorful, and it's the kind of place where you come with an empty stomach and leave feeling completely stuffed! Another thing I really like is that the prices are pretty reasonable considering the variety and amount of food you can get. It's a great place to come with family or a group of friends so you can order a bunch of different dishes and share everything. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the service could be a little better. Also, definitely be prepared to wait because this place is almost always busy. The crowds can be a little hectic, but I think the food makes it worth the wait. Overall, if you're in Las Vegas and craving dim sum, I highly recommend giving Orchids Garden a try! Come hungry and be ready to eat!
