The customer service wasn't very good. The staff was rude, and it was hard to understand them, and…read morethey also seemed to have a hard time understanding us. They would come up to our table and take things without asking, and when I asked for one of the items back, they were rude about it. I also saw another review mentioning a lady with black hair in a bob haircut, and I had a similar experience she came across as unfriendly and made the atmosphere uncomfortable. The dumplings, however, were really good! The pork dumplings were my favorite. I recommend ordering 8 because 4 isn't really enough for one person and isn't the best value. The chicken dumplings were okay not my favorite, but they still tasted good. The hot and sour soup looked unappetizing and had a slimy texture. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but it tasted okay. Overall, I don't think it was worth the $11.

I used Mama Lee Kitchen catering for a Lunar New Year dinner for 28 people, and it was highly…read moresuccessful!! I wanted to showcase my Taiwanese heritage for the dinner and was excited that Mama Lee's was available to cater. It was hard to decide from the variety of their catering menu because so much of it reminded me of my childhood favorites. I ordered the following, and of course it was way too much, but folks were excited to take home leftovers: - Popcorn Chicken - Pork chop egg fried rice - Chicken cutlet egg fried rice - Qua Bao - Veggie Chow Mein - Crispy Fried Tofu Sticks (with garlic dipping sauce and pickled cabbage) - Seasonal Veggie & Mushroom The popcorn chicken, egg fried rice, and veggie chow mein was the kids' favorites, along with the winter melon lemon tea, which David and Marysa threw in for being their first customer in Pleasant Hill. The adults enjoyed everything that was offered, and were excited to try many new dishes for the first time. Overall, the flavors were reminiscent of my memories of eating in Taiwan, and that was a huge plus! Communication was easy, and the day of the event, they sent pics of the food. Not only did they include delivery over $350, the food was brought in piping hot & they helped set up the food. I am excited to work with David and Marysa again for next year's dinner, and I would highly recommend Mama Lee's catering for your next event!!

I tried the Numbing Spicy Minced Pork Noodles yesterday, and they were delicious. I went with…read moretheir widest noodle option, and the noodles were thick, chewy, and bouncy. The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.

My 2nd or 3rd time here. I found this last time via Yelp!…read more Same consistency this time: like how fresh the noodles tasted and felt. The dumplings and beef baos were good. What I liked about this place was the both was not too heavy or salty: just about right plain and simple. The ribs noodle was good. Amazingly the chicken wings were very good. Got Pig Ears and Cold noodles take out at the end: very good. Not too salty. Service was quick, accurate and finely. Very clean, simple store. Not overly decorated. Parking was easy. Will come again.

I ordered…read more3 items: har gao (shrimp dumplings), bean curd rolls and chinese sticky rice wrapped in lotus leafs. The food came fairly quickly and were hot and tasty. This is my go to place in Walnut Creek if I crave for dim sum. The food is ok although the price is a bit higher than Oakland or SF Chinatown. I am glad to see that this place has good business during lunch since there aren't that many choices for dim sum in Walnut Creek and I want them to stay in business. The restaurant is clean but in my opinion it can use a remodel or some new furnitures. I have been coming here since it was called Shanghai Gourmet before. The decore and layout looks the same for the past 20 years.

It was a battlefield at the dinner table, and we annihilated. Staff were friendly, helpful with the menu, and the food was a great value for what you get.

Really, no notes (I know from me that shocks most of you; granted you're justified in your expectations of such). Service is a little on the slow side but everyone is really nice and working hard so no dings there. One thing I'd love to see on the menu is steamed green beans with garlic. I adore those with XLB. Overall is it a Din Tai rip-off? I wouldn't say that, more like an homage for half the price and without the two hour wait. You won't leave disappointed or hungry. Give Dough Zone a shot.

I've been on a shaved ice kick recently and decided to drop in and try Ice Monster's coffee shaved ice - and it did not disappoint. It was soft and light and just divine. You order from a tablet at the front, but their service was friendly and helpful when delivering the food, and there is plenty of seating out front. We've also had items delivered a couple times, and they're always well packed and in great condition (not melted) when we receive them. All in all we'll definitely keep ordering from Ice Monster and have been loving their frosty wares!

Had to try the original to start; they also make several other flavors. The drinks were refreshing and tasty. One odd moment was when asked for sweetness level, I replied with regular 100% and the staff member (owner??) was uneasy about it, and persuaded me to let her make it a certain way, "her way". It was good, she knows her craft but when I asked what percentage it was exactly so I would know how to order it in the future, she basically couldn't really answer the question, said some stuff and ended it which was just kinda weird lol. Anyway, I like that they have lavender milk tea! Nice and floral, refreshing. Their black milk tea is made with earl grey which was nice and different. The boba was nice and chewy.

I couldn't resist getting some boba too. I went with the taro and classic milk tea, and the pearls were exactly the right amount of chewy. Also, I have to mention the little duck mascot on the cups. I think it's the cutest thing ever. I'll definitely be making this a regular spot for when I want a solid meal!

You can tell they care about quality :P What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. I think the owner is usually there, and he is incredibly kind. He always seems to go above and beyond. He's given my daughter a little treat more than once just to make her day, and one time he even helped me carry our baby stroller down the steps even though he absolutely did not have to lol :) Those small moments really stick with you. Great drinks are one thing, but that kind of genuine kindness is what makes a place feel special. It feels a little elevated, a little indulgent, and always like a nice little treat. We love it!!

I have had this before in the Pleasanton area, but it's been quite some time. The location is on a busy street of Walnut Creek, but it is located right across a parking structure. Inside is pretty small to sit, and ordering is via a kiosk. The drink kiosk is further back in the store. Lychee Fruit Tea: I adjusted to 50% sweet and it was still sweet for me. I added sago for texture and it did give it a nice profile overall. The 4 pieces of lychee also gave it added sweetness to my drink. It was chilled nicely and overall, it did brighten up my mood for the day. I think I need to go to 30% sweet and it will be perfect for me. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again.
