review: Mama Lu’s Dumpling House

I’m on a quest. Yes, just like those little hobbits. But I don’t have to endure scary things to throw a golden ring in the fire in order to save our world.
No, my quest is different, my quest contains Chinese food!

In Amsterdam I loved to go out for dim sum, I did that at least once a month. So in the first week after arriving in Los Angeles friends took us to Empress Pavilion in Chinatown, to have some dim sum. I liked the big chaotic dining hall with noisy Chinese people and waitresses with push carts. It reminded me of China, although I didn’t had dim sum during the month I was there three years ago.

I thought I was done, I found my new favorite dim sum place which served delicious food.

But unfortunately Empress Pavilion suddenly closed a month later, at the beginning of June 🙁

So now I’m on a quest to find the best dim sum in the Los Angeles area.

Different lists direct me to the East, so yesterday Christine from Feed My Sole and I went out for dim sum at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House, in Monterey Park.

Mama Lu's

No push carts here, but a menu in Chinese ánd English.
