"If you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings all day and don’t have time to drive over to the San Gabriel Valley, Mama Lu's is the next best thing in Beverly Hills. This growing Chinese restaurant chain kept most of the menu intact when it took over for the old Capital Seafood, which isn't a bad thing—service is super quick, the space is fancy but not stuffy, and you’ll find everything from dim sum to soup dumplings to seafood stir-fries available. Load up your table with glistening har gow, turnip cakes, and puffy char siu pork buns. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Sylvio Martins
