Hearty Chinese cooking, soup dumplings, mapo tofu, and pork buns
"Family-owned Chinatown stalwart China Mama has something for everyone, including crispy orange chicken, sauteed eggplant with pork, chicken corn soup, and crispy duck. Every table will likely have an order of the restaurant’s signature juicy pork buns, steamed and stuffed with pork and broth. Mornings bring tea eggs, scallion pancakes with egg, and xiao long bao." - Jennifer Smith
"The family-owned China Mama earned a following for its Americanized Chinese and traditional Chinese dishes, its steamed pork buns stuffed with pork and broth a standout on a menu of soup dumplings and mapo tofu." - Janna Karel
"Soup dumplings and mapo tofu practically call your name at this lauded Chinese standby. The family-owned spot serves both Americanized Chinese items and more traditional Chinese dishes, but its signature dish is the juicy pork buns, steamed and stuffed with pork and broth. China Mama also has dim sum." - Janna Karel
"Look for two different menus here. One carries more Americanized versions of Chinese fare. The other is dishes Chinese patrons may prefer. The restaurant’s signature dish, juicy pork buns, comes steamed and stuffed with pork and broth. China Mama also has dim sum. Open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily for takeout. Or visit Seamless, GrubHub, or Uber Eats for delivery." - Susan Stapleton
