It can get crowded and I don't think they take reservations. It is worth the wait. The service is nice. The staff is wonderful and they know the menu well. You can call ahead and your food will be there for you to pick up. We often just have it delivered. All of their food is super. We really love all their rice dishes and they are packed with flavor. Their shrimp dishes are really good and anything with crab will make you happy. Parking is easy and yes, you will have to wait in line, but again, it is well worth it. So have fun and enjoy. It is also very clean, including the bathrooms.

The portions were huge and the juicy dumplings were in fact juicy. Now I'm used to just doing Din Tai, but these dumplings were good and bigger and had more soup. Sure Din Tai might look prettier, at the end of the day they just have to taste good. My family will definitely be back to visit Mama Lu's for more dumplings.

The food is freshly made and so yummy. This is not fast food it's cooked family style and with flavor. One of the few food gems in Montebello.

Food is always made fresh and you can tell they really care Tantalizing Eggplant Bowl (no peppers) with Thai Steak on the side, Garlic Rice & Side salad! I loved how customizable the bowls are because you can switch out your proteins and sides. Everything was bomb, the steak was really flavorful and not dry at all! Also the eggplants hit the spot cause I was craving it, has slightly sweet notes and pairs really nicely with the garlic rice. Side salad was great too. I can't wait to come back again. My friend got the drunken noodles and they have three spice levels. She got the middle spicy and that one packed a punch for me, abit too spicy for my liking but she said she wants to try the Thai spicy (highest level) next time.

The owner, Jack, was incredibly kind and welcoming. His friendly attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable and comfortable.

I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Thai food!

Many reviewers describe this place as good Americanized Chinese food, after trying it, that's…read moreexactly best way to describe it. Nearly a 50 year old establishment with Chinese food made to cater more towards western palate. A nostalgic place. If you want to taste original Americanized Chinese food, this is authentic in its own category. If you want more authentic ethnic dishes with roots from mainland China, then that's more in the heart of SGV. But Chinese food that is accommodating to most palate, then this is a good try.

I got the slippery shrimp which everyone recommended. Yes, it is good, but I wasn't blown away. The sautéed string bean with minced pork was fine, probably could have used more garlic. The shredded beef with spicy garlic sauce had more veggies/ peppers than it did beef. Most of the people eating here seem to be tourists. Don't get me wrong, the food is decent and portions are generous, but I just dont get the hype over it. I think there's plenty of equally good (if not better) food at SGV for a better price too.

The order was prepared quickly and the food was ready pretty quick. All the food are yummy. The spicy noodle soup was spicy but not was yummy. Popcorn chicken was good along with Tan Tan noodle and XLB.
