    Shrimp SHANGHAI STYLE RICE CAKE SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP
    Michelle V.

    Everything was so good ! The beef roll was refreshing and light. The salt and pepper squid was cooked to perfection and not too chewy. The shrimp rice cake was not mushy and the shrimp was tender and juicy. A lot of seating inside and friendly staff.

    I would say this is a very solid 3.5 stars but rounded up because there was only 1 dish that wasn't quite up to par. This is a chain and I've been to the ones in LA and always enjoyed the food there. I was happy to see one open up in the OC. The interior is very unassuming and is next to a bulk sized grocery store for Asian food. The signs are almost hidden from the front so you wouldn't know to look for it unless you read these reviews first! We tried a variety of items: Shrimp egg rolls, fish with seaweed, fried pork buns, Shanghai rice cakes, and salt and pepper pork. All the items were really tasty except for the fried pork buns - don't get those. The bun part was very mushy and you didn't get any soup inside. The fish with seaweed and salt and pepper pork chops were excellent. Very flavorful and not too salty. I would definitely get those again. The Shanghai style rice cakes are also very good, nice and chewy, definitely cooked correctly. And you can't go wrong with the shrimp egg rolls - they came with large chunks of shrimp which was nice. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous compared to what you would find in Irvine for similar quality. I would come back!

    Highly recommend. Mama Lu's is actually inside the store. It's a whole restaurant with plenty of seating inside. Dumplings were all a 10/10. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. My favorite was the juicy pork. You can tell they're freshly made. Tasty. Flavorful. The service was excellent. Server checked on us quite a bit. Dumplings come out within 15mins.

    We did not intend to dine here but ended up getting a table. At first, it looked like the restaurant is located inside a supermarket, so I was a little iffy at first. But we were surprised to find that the restaurant is actually a separate unit next to the market; and it actually looked nice. I've been wanting to get Singaporean noodle for a while now for some reason. So I got that and it was pretty decent. It comes with shrimp and barbecue pork. I wish it came with more seafood options. I was also craving some hot and sour soup. Luckily they had a smaller size for one person so that was cool. The Kung Pao chicken was surprisingly good. It wasn't too sweet and the spice level was perfect. I'm not big on Chinese food when dining out, but this was a good overall choice for dinner.

    Great to see the familiar name of Mama Lu's out here, a staple of dumpling and wontonery back in SGV. A large group of us stopped by for a quick dinner at around 5pm on Saturday, and just to be on the safe side we had tables reserved. Luckily there was a lull around that time anyways, so we got seated quickly and flipped through the menu. The waitstaff was respectful as we went through multiple rounds of orders due to some of us arriving late and the usual indecision. I've had my fair share of dumplings of all sorts, so today I went with their Shanghai Fried Rice Cake, chewy and slippery bites that were as fun to eat as they were delicious. Mixed with cabbage, onions, pork, and a savory sauce and you've got yourself a hearty portion. The others at the table enjoyed perennial favorites such as steamed chive and pork dumplings, siu mai, mapo tofu, beef chow fun, and of course, mango ade. As we finished up, the restaurant was lively as can be with most tables occupied.

    I would give Mama Lou's a ten+ star!!! Service was excellent Food was delicious. Prices were right on servings were large. Lovely restaurant with blue chairs - with seating for large groups. It's located next to a Asian market - everything is fresh. We ordered Hot & Sour soup, which was the Best I've ever eaten!!! Then we had beef wraps which was like a burrito but better -with fresh veggies and a wonderful sauce. For dessert we had deep fried donuts - tasted just like New Orleans beignets - I told the manager, Juan, he needed to put powdered sugar on them...he went to the kitchen came back with powdered sugar & condensed milk!!! Both were yummy!!! I highly recommend this place - I just typed in great dumplings on YELP, while in Tustin and it came up & it was only a five minutes from where we were!!! We hit the jackpot ‼

    The dining area...plenty of tables.

    I've been to Mama Lu's a few times, mostly the Rowland Heights location, and recently tried the one in Orange. Overall, it was okay -- but I definitely prefer the Rowland Heights spot. Or even the one in SGV if you are willing to wait! :)) This location is in a plaza with plenty of parking. we arrived at 11:30 and was immediately seated -- barely any crowd. I did notice the crowds started to build up after 1PM. This location still has all the standard Chinese comfort dishes and dumplings you'd expect from Mama Lu's. We ordered some classic dishes - my mapo tofu along with soup dumplings and pan-fried dumplings. We also got my personal favorite - pan fried radish cakes! It's very good -- should had ordered two!!! The dumplings flavors were decent and everything tasted fine, but it didn't quite hit the same as the Monterey Park or Rowland Heights location. Service was fine and the restaurant was clean. If you're in the area and craving dumplings, it'll satisfy the craving.

    Two words. Fast and efficient!!! Food came out super quick. Service went great. Drinks refilled and table cleared promptly. Everything tasted so good! My favorite was their Peking porkchops! Saucy and not heavily drenched with flour. Savory and delicious!

    Mama Lu's Dumpling House is one of those spots that works for almost any kind of meal. I came in solo for lunch this time, but I've also been here with groups ranging from 2 to 8 people, and it really fits everything from a casual lunch or dinner date to a bigger celebration with family or friends. It's located in a shared space with an Asian grocery store and another small restaurant, but Mama Lu's itself is surprisingly spacious inside. Parking is also widely available, which makes it an easy choice when you don't want to deal with circling a busy lot. Service here has always been friendly and prompt. The staff really seems to work as a team, and that always makes the experience feel smooth even when it gets busy. There's a huge variety of food to choose from, plus lunch specials if you're stopping by during the day. One of my personal favorites here is the siu mai. This visit I also ordered the sesame balls and spicy wontons, both worth getting again. And of course, you really have to explore their dumpling selection since that's the star of the show. Little order hack: if you get the Thai tea, they do complimentary refills, which is always a nice bonus. Mama Lu's stays in the rotation for me because it's spacious, dependable, and has plenty of solid options whether you're dining alone or rolling in with a full table.

    My neighbor suggested we go out for Chinese food for Lunar New Year and specifically asked for Yikoufu. Looks like our foreign friends really approve of this place! Must-order list when hosting non-Chinese friends -- you can't go wrong with these: Pan-Fried Soup Dumplings (Sheng Jian Bao) - They smell amazing the moment they hit the table! The bottoms are crispy and golden with sesame seeds, and when you bite in, they're juicy and full of flavorful pork. It was my neighbor's first time trying them and she kept saying "Amazing!" Orange Chicken (Chenpi Chicken) - Definitely a North American Chinese food favorite. Each piece is coated in a sweet and tangy sauce. My friend practically finished half the plate herself. House Special Stir-Fry - A great mix of meat and vegetables with that perfect wok hei (smoky wok flavor). Savory and perfect with rice. Beef with Broccoli - The beef is tender and well-seasoned, and the broccoli adds a nice color contrast. A true crowd-pleaser that works for both Eastern and Western tastes. Signature King Prawns - Plump and bouncy shrimp coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. Every bite is super satisfying. My friend said this was her absolute favorite dish. Wonton Soup - Thin wrappers, generous filling, and a light but flavorful broth. After some richer dishes, this soup is so comforting and refreshing. I could easily have two bowls! Tips for hosting non-Chinese friends: The menu has photos and both Chinese and English descriptions, so ordering is stress-free. Portions are very generous and great value for the price. The flavors are more mild than spicy, so it's very approachable for those who aren't used to strong heat or numbing spice. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot to celebrate with friends who are new to Chinese food!

    Came here on a weekday night and it wasn't packed! Very spacious place for being right next?in? a supermarket! Definitely come here with family because the portions are huge! We got: Juicy Pork Dumplings, Century Egg and Pork Congee, Shanghai Ricecakes, and Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. All delicious but my favorite had to be the Conges and Ricecakes! Packed with flavor

    I grew up eating @mamalusdumplinghouse from the 626 and I'm so happy they have locations all over now! My must orders is their deep fried seaweed fish. It's so crispy and tender and pro tip, ask for some sweet and sour sauce on the side for dipping. You can't go wrong with xlb dumplings or their Shanghai fried rice cake. Both classic flavors that I grew up eating.

    Denise H.

    Pretty good tbh. I liked the flavors and the price. Service pretty good. Keep it up! Liked the chill ambiance too!

I feel like this Irvine based Chinese restaurant is so much like the LA "Chinatown" restaurants that are legitimate! In a span of two weeks, I have been here 3 times! I had two dinners and one lunch. Each dinner ordered their most popular "Sheng Jian Bao" a.k.a. Shanghai Grilled Pork Buns. They are beautifully prepared with sesame seeds sprinkled at the top and grilled into the base. The inside pork filling has the delicious juices, so make sure you eat this carefully and don't lose all the meat juices. Another delicious old school Chinese dish I had was the Crispy Fish Fillet with Seaweed. The fried dough has seaweed in it, so the flavor is so good. Dip this with some black vinegar... *chef's kiss* So gooood, too! The third memory lane Chinese dishes I had so far that was delightful was the Shanghai Rice Cakes. This tasted exactly how a lot of Montrey Park, Arcadia, and San Gabriel restaurants make them. The only thing about rice cakes is that reheating them is not as good, so try to eat this and not have a doggy bag. So today for lunch I ordered the Shanghai Kao Fu... and O... M... G... sooooo goooood! This is totally my favorite cold appetizer. It has the soybean product, woodear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, peanuts, and this veggie that I have no idea what it is called. So on point to authentic Shanghai Chinese food! The overall guest service is very Chinese-Irvine. They are stoic, but get the job done. You tell them how delicious the food is and they nod in acceptance (reminds me of my dad lol). Parking is super easy. It is in an Irvine Company shopping Plaza. Plenty of spaces. Totally safe area. The only thing that ducks is that in the afternoon, the sun beats down on the restaurant. It gets warm in there and the window seats are hot during the summer. In the end, I am 100% okay with their service and simple ambiance. The food is where it makes the experience worth it. I cannot wait to go back and try more dishes that remind me of my childhood.

One of the draws of eating here are the colorful lit lanterns in the evening. However, we ended dining here in the late afternoon while it was still light out. The inside of the restaurant was pretty much empty and it was a nice day, so we dined out on the patio. Even in the daytime, the colorful lanterns are cool to look at and there is a park area right next to the restaurant. The patio is wide open and completely in the shade. This was a late lunch/early dinner for us, so we just ordered a few different items off the menu to share. Their small sushi menu only has four different rolls and they were out of two of them, so we just had a California roll which was fine. The only sushi protein available is shrimp or krab so I definitely wouldn't recommend them for sushi. We also had an order of the chicken egg rolls. They had a good crisp on them, and the serving size was generous and very filling. The sweet chili dipping sauce had a good mix of sweetness with a little heat. They tasted fine, but it seemed like they were pre-made and lacked a little freshness. Finally, we tried an order of the spicy shrimp wontons off the dim sum menu. It comes with ten wontons, and the shrimp were good but the wontons were a little mushy. They had a nice heat that slowly creeps up on you after a few seconds. Service started out ok as we were able to place our order within ten minutes, but it then got progressively slower. I think there were only two other occupied tables and our three items took almost 25 minutes to come out. After the food arrived, we didn't see a server again for quite a while. Final rating 3.6 stars. These are the times I wish Yelp let you use half points because this experience was right in between 3 and 4 stars. I guess I'll round up to four stars for the relaxing patio and ambiance which is probably even better after dark.

    My party of 10 was very grateful to have gotten a reservation the day of for a birthday…read morecelebration. The hostess noted that reservations could be made at least three hours in advance. For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check. Overall, it's a great place for large groups and celebrations.
