Mama Lu's Dumpling House - Beverly Hills

My husband and I went out looking for a great dinner spot, and Mama Lu’s delivered! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and felt laid back. The server was friendly and provided amazing recommendations. And as far as the food, the pictures don’t do it justice. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the duck with crispy skin, but my husband loved the bbq pork buns. The menu is extensive so it should have something for everyone!

Had to come back once again but this time I stopped by Beverly Hills location and let me just say everything from my experience was great from the relaxing ambiance to the full bar, their kind and attentive service, and delicious food! Parking is in the same building and is only $5.25 after 4pm. This was my first time trying pecking duck and i am not dissapointed. The meat was so tender and tasteful. Their chili oil is soooo good, I add it to every bite! lol if you come I highly recommend the soup filled Shumai, all flavors explode in your mouth the moment you take a bite and don’t forget the garlic green beans! Sooooo good. I can’t wait to come back!

I’m just going to get down to the food. My favorite was the steamed fish. It was very flavorful and I loved how the sauce was very light. I chose it because I know it was a healthier option. As a very little pork eating person, the pork dumplings were really juicy and the Shanghai Pork Rib was also a hit for me and for the table. You gotta get in your veggies too! The House Stir Fry had the right amount of garlic to give it that nice punch. Of course I am biased about the fried tofu because I just love tofu. Let’s talk about the wings. Crispy crispy goodness. The first crunch will want you wanting more. Then…the highlight was their new dessert. It has a puff pastry on top and when you break into it, it’s the most creamy and delicious almond milk. It’s like melted creamy almond jello. Yes, I finished mine. The staff were all kind and hospitable. The manager was very mind and informative with all the dishes as well. I thank them for giving us a great experience. The place is very clean. The plates and dishes were all so pretty too. It’s a great place to celebrate any occasion. There is a parking lot. I paid $5.50. Not bad at all.

This Mama Lu’s felt a little more classy and special! There’s a full bar and the food was really good. All of it came out flavored really well and they had some good recommendations. My favorite was the steamed fillet fish and the Shanghai pork ribs! At the end we got the special dessert that was a flaky pastry with hot almond soup and it worked together really well.

I need everyone to know this isn't your average dumpling house. This isn't din tai fung. It's much more. There is so many more selection of dishes and choices to choose from. I grew up with this kind of food. My favorite dish here is the seafood pan fried noodle. You won't find this kind of noodle anywhere in the area. They're crispy egg noodles with deliciously luscious sauce. I also ordered a Chrysanthemum tea and it was so soothing. This is my go-to spot for chinese comfort food. They have tons of great dishes like the green onion pancake, shrimp with scrambled egg, hot and sour soup, spicy salt pork chops, ha gao, mapo tofu. The list goes on and on. This has to be the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Beverly Hills. The people are really nice here be nice to them. They speak mandarin. It's super family friendly or if you want a nice dinner out. I highly recommend.

Chinese food in family eating style. I had: 1. Salt & pepper chicken wings 2. Juicy chicken dumplings 3. Salt & pepper tofu 4. Shanghai pork rib 5. Garlic pea sprout 6. Fish filet with soy sauce 7. Lychee martini & lemon cocktails 8. Hot almond milk with bun - Signature dessert must get it’s sooo good

Quality is amazing. Absolutely satisfied with every dish. Additionally, they serve great and tasty cocktails not too sweet or strong. Highly recommend the pecking duck. You can’t go wrong with anything here!

Who eats Chinese Food in Beverly Hills? You will want to now since @mamalusdumplinghouse made its mark off of La Cienega Blvd next to Lawry’s. Mama Lu’s is bringing all the authentic flavors from The SGV and Chinatown to Beverly Hills. If you think PF Chang’s at the Beverly Center was real Chinese Food, you are about to wake up to REAL AUTHENTIC CHINESE flavors in your mouth! You will taste the difference and be like where has this flavor been in all of my life! Feel free to pick and choose what I ate with my friends. We were celebrating new friendships and we went all out! Plus service is fantastic. Apps & Mains - Crab Soup & Fish Maw - Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings - Spicy Wontons - Scallion Pancake - Baked BBQ Pork Buns - Shu Mai - Walnut Shrimp - French Style Filet Mignon - Garlic Green Beans - Crab Fried Rice - Peking Style Pork Chop - Egg Tofu w/ Japanese Mushrooms Dessert & Cocktails - Pineapple Bun - Egg Tart - Lychee Martini - Lemon Drop - Cosmopolitan

I like Mama Lu's. Everything I ate was good. I do recommend french style beef tenderloin, shrimp fried rice, and pan fried dumplings. Just so you know, the price is higher than the other Mama Lu's, and no free parking here, of course. For example, shrimp fried rice is $20 here, but $15.99 in 626 area.

Since we've been visiting my Los Angeles relatives for the past 25+ years, we've often driven to the San Gabriel Valley in search of regional Chinese cuisine, though we lean towards Southern Chinese flavors. We had seen several favorites that we usually return to, and Mama Lu's Dumpling House is one of them. During this Holiday visit, my brother-in-law was hankering for dim sum. He mentioned Mama Lu's, so I thought we were going to drive to Monterey Park or Alhambra, but we were surprised when he drove us to the former Capital Restaurant in Beverly Hills. Upon entry, I didn't see any changes to the interior décor, and the servers were recognizable from the former Capital Seafood Restaurant. However, the menus seemed much more extensive, and we now expected similar food quality and flavors to those at the other Mama Lu's. Our friendly server recognized our family and explained that they were sold out of beer, especially the Taiwan beer, which we usually order when eating dim sum. Apparently, because the day before, their restaurant was slammed by huge dinner parties, and their alcoholic beverages hadn't yet been restocked. But she offered us Suntory's All-Free non-alcoholic beers to sample. Admittedly, we pooh-poohed the non-alcoholic option, but we were surprised by this beer's crisp, refreshing taste. The server provided us with their dim sum menu (items ranged in price from $8 to $12 per category) and regular menu (appetizers through dessert). We used the dim sum checklist to select our "usual' favorites such as the shrimp har gow ($9), shrimp & pork shiu mai ($9), dried shrimp & pork dumpling ($9), baked BBQ pork buns ($9), and beancurd roll - vegetable ($9). As if we didn't order enough for our foursome, we added an order of shrimp, chive & pork dumplings ($13), beef pan-fried noodles ($21), and pork chop with spicy salt ($18). We found the shrimp har gow wrappers to be delicate and translucent, holding the generous filling even as they were picked up from the steamer basket with chopsticks. But we were slightly disappointed with the dry, overbaked dough of the BBQ pork bun and the thick, doughy wrappers of the shrimp, chive & pork dumplings. Most of the flavors and textures were pleasing and reminiscent of previous visits to the former Capital Seafood Restaurant and Mama Lu's - Monterey Park. We'd happily return for more, as this location is just a scant 20-minute drive from my BIL's home.

Came here with a group of 4 on Christmas Day. Had a 3:30pm reservation, didn't get seated till after 4pm, and it seemed like the very harried host was keeping track of the people waiting by scribbling on paper. He was also serving dishes. There was a throng of people up front both waiting to be seated and to pick up to go orders. The staff was extremely overwhelmed and seemed ill prepared to handle the influx of jewish customers on Christmas Day. We ordered the juicy pork dumplings, beef roll, scallion pancake, hot and sour soup, salt and pepper tofu, mapo tofu, garlic pea shoots, and green beans. Service was pretty dismal, and it took around 40 mins to receive the first few dishes. We then had to follow up again after another long gap without any food. The food we did receive was tasty, but the salt and pepper tofu was lukewarm, and the hot and sour soup was straight up cold as if it had been sitting out for an hour (plausible since it had been over an hour since we'd ordered it and it came pretty quickly after we asked the waitress about the status of the rest of the food). The waitress then informed us that we wouldn't receive the last dish as the kitchen was out of it (mapo tofu). We left hungry after around 2.5 hours of being there. The bathroom also looked as if it had not been cleaned or stocked all day. Overall, the food itself was good enough that we'd give it another shot on a less busy day.

I love that there's a Mama Lu's on the west side now! When visiting my bf in Mid City, it'd be hard to get authentic Chinese family style or dim sum like they have at Mama Lu's and we'd always have to go towards Pasadena/Alhambra areas. Now, it's more accessible for the Culver City/Beverly Hills, and Fairfax districts! This is also the only Mama Lu's I've been to that had cocktail service!! I really enjoyed my lychee martini and I was so happy to even have access to one here!! This is a perfect place for big gatherings. If you're going out to eat with a big family, this has options for everyone. The dishes are big and shareable. The table setting for 5+ people includes the similar to a lazy Susan rotating plate in the middle to make it easy to order a lot and have everyone access it. Getting into the food, I noticed that this location had a separate dim-sum menu with new items that I haven't seen in their usual menu such as salt and pepper soft shell crab, shui mai, and even vegetarian options such as mushroom dumplings. I feel like xiao long baos are a non-negotiable order when I come here. All of their greens are good, but the garlic green beans are a classic if you can't decide. The salt and pepper calamari was also really good, but the star of this meal for us was the super tender beef in XO sauce. The sautéed onions sweetness and the savory from the xo sauce made this dish disappear first out of everything we ordered. It was also my first time trying Mama Lu's Peking Duck plate which came with baos, green onions, cucumbers, and hoisin and it was really good. The duck was so savory, juicy, and tender. It made for an excellent bite! Overall, I love Mama Lu's, all their locations, and hope that they continue to do well to keep expanding to more and more locations.

it was fine, not exceptional, not terrible- very mid. we came with a large group and ordered multiples of each dim sum and I really wish it was as good as their original location on garvey... service was fine- everything was just ok

Came for a quick lunch loves the complimentary tea! we're seated immediately and such a cozy vibe in there! tried the soup dumplings which were so juicy and some eggrolls w super yummy sweet and sour def would get again!

Definitely like the Monterey park location a lot more. The food is still good but not as special as the Monterey location. The wait was extremely long up front but after being served it picked up. I like their portions and the quality is comparable to their primary location. Parking is a bit of a pain as you have to pay. It's larger than the Monterey park location and clean overall.

Wanted to try a different place offering dim sum and Chinese food in the area so we gave Mama Lu's a try. They have a variety of choices including your staple dim sum dishes, along with Cantonese dinner favorites. Overall the food is decent, it just lacks a lot of flavor and spices you'd find at more traditional places around SGV. Not a bad spot for the area, but they could definitely use fresher ingredients and bigger portions for the price. Not sure I'd come back again, but it's good to know there's Cantonese food in the area, in a pinch.

Back at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants and it never disappoints! Got the Juicy Chicken XLB and they're honestly so good every time - the soup inside is perfectly seasoned and you can tell how fresh they make them. Their Chow Mein hit different today! The noodles had that perfect wok flavor and texture that I love. Tried the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce again because I'm obsessed - the eggplant is so tender and that garlic sauce is just incredible. The French Style Steak was amazing as always. I know it sounds random for a Chinese spot but trust me on this one! And of course had to get the Peking Duck - the crispy skin with those pancakes and scallions is just perfection. This is definitely one of their signature dishes for a reason. Jack the manager is seriously the best and always takes such good care of everyone. Thanks for having me back! This place consistently delivers on flavor and quality. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out! Instagram: @hungrytamale

Mama Lu's Dumplings! Gimme...gimme! But...very disappointed. Flavorless dumplings. It's "Chinese food" not really a "dumpling house". If any indication that the food might be better, the Chinese green beans sautéed in garlic were awesome. Worth a try for the rest of the menu of "Chinese food" options. Positive: ======== 1. Service was nice (but sparse) Other negatives: ============== 1. No vibe. Only a few other customers at dinner time. 2. Decor is nice, carpet throughout is not. Looks dirty.

Mama Lu's welcome to the neighborhood. Finally real authentic Chinese food in Beverly Hills, add one more option places to go to during lunch hour and yes they have lunch specials set as well. Their lunch set prices are very reasonable and the amount of food you get is fantastic. As for all or most Chinese restaurants be prepared for MSG overload. I'm not complaining Each lunch set comes with an eggroll, soup and either fried rice or steam rice. For this lunch visit we ordered thr following lunch set. Pork Chop with Spicy Salt Eggplant Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce All was good and delicious. We also got a side of the pork dumplings to share which great as well. Service was quick and friendly as for parking there is street meter parking and they have there own lot ( not sure how much that is) All and all, happy that Mama Lu's is here.

Their food is amazing! The best chow mein I've ever had! The service is super fast! The place is very calm too.

I used to visit the original Monterey Park location pretty often, so I was excited to check out their new Beverly Hills branch. Overall, it was a nice experience -- though personally, I think the flavors at the original spot are a bit better. That said, if you're in West LA, this location is super convenient and definitely worth a visit. The dim sum wrappers were a bit on the thicker side, which was slightly disappointing, and the beef wrap felt like it might have been pre-made -- so that took away a little freshness for me. But the ambience and cleanliness of the restaurant were excellent, and the prices are quite reasonable. It's a solid spot to consider for a weekend brunch, especially if you're in the area.

Visited Mama Lu for lunch near my office. Yang Chow fried rice was amazing. The best fried rice I've had in LA (as good as the fried rice at Din Tai Fung but bigger portion!). We also tried spicy wonton and pork fried buns, and they were both good, but I'll definitely come back for the fried rice!

The French style filet minon is amazing So good I got it two days in a row It is so tender and flavored perfectly

Not surprised that Mama Lu is taking over capital seafood in Beverly Hills. I m a fan of mama Lu cuz it's cheaper prince with quality food! And of course the servers are very friendly. Huge dining area, it's good for party as well! Paring in rear. Cash payment only.

Great place for larger groups. Clean, nice decor and comfortable. Food and service was excellent.

Had to come back once again but this time I stopped by Beverly Hills location and let me just say everything from my experience was great from the relaxing ambiance to the full bar, their kind and attentive service, and delicious food! Parking is in the same building and is only $5.25 after 4pm. This was my first time trying pecking duck and i am not dissapointed. The meat was so tender and tasteful. Their chili oil is soooo good, I add it to every bite! lol if you come I highly recommend the soup filled Shumai, all flavors explode in your mouth the moment you take a bite and don't forget the garlic green beans! Sooooo good. I can't wait to come back!

Absolutely delicious and huge portions. High quality meat and shrimp and ample. Jun took my phone order and thought it would take 15 minutes. When I arrived my order was already ready. Jun was very sweet, welcoming and friendly. We tried Yang Chow rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, filet beef, and beef rolls. It was all very good. The filet beef is amazing. Thank you for your service. The delicious food. We will be back for sure.

This Mama Lu's felt a little more classy and special! There's a full bar and the food was really good. All of it came out flavored really well and they had some good recommendations. My favorite was the steamed fillet fish and the Shanghai pork ribs! At the end we got the special dessert that was a flaky pastry with hot almond soup and it worked together really well.

My second visit to Mama Lu, and unfortunately, the food quality didn't match my first experience. It feels like they may have changed the chef, because the dishes just weren't up to par. I tried their dim sum item this time, and they fell short compared to other spots like Lunasia, especially the shrimp and pork dumplings weren't as soft and tender as Lunasia's because the shrimp and the pork were overcooked, so it had a chewy texture. And then pan-fried noodles were also disappointing, it was too wet and lacking that dry, crisp texture like the one at Lunasia. After today's visit, I've decided to take off more stars. While my first impression was positive, consistency matters, and the drop in quality makes it hard to recommend Mama Lu with the same enthusiasm I had before.

The food is ok but it's rarely ready on time. Once we waited 50 minutes past our pick up time and our order was 50% wrong. They were not that apologetic and didn't seem to care that we were literally standing there waiting. Not worth it for the mediocre food. Food = Meh Service = Poor Ambiance = Meh There are several other options in the area.

great food, great service! the filet mignon beef was tender and flavorful. The spicy wontons were delicious! Definitely recommend

I like Mama Lu's but I really liked Capital Seafood! Fortunately this location has kept pretty much all of the dim sum greatest hits, as well as Cantonese standbys. We'll see how the ownership change and rebranding changes that. So far, I can still recognize the old place which is a comfort. I have fond memories of dozens of dim sum weekends and a few milestone birthday celebrations there.

The BEST Chinese food in LA is at @mamalusdumplinghouse new Beverly Hills location!!!! Not only are all the dishes incredibly high quality, the ambiance is also great - this is the perfect place to treat yourself to a delicious din with friends. All the dishes are made to share so you can do family style with a group of people and try everything!! Ordered (in order of my favorites!!!): 1. French style filet mignon beef 2. Crab fried rice 3. Spicy wontons 4. Xiao long bao 5. Shu mai (the most juicy ones ive had!!!) 6. Fried tofu with mushroom & veggies 7. Sautéed string beans 8. Pineapple buns 9. Egg tarts 10. Peking style pork chops 11. Barbecue pork buns 12. Crab maw soup 13. Scallion pancakes 14. Cocktails

Formerly "Capitol Seafood","Mama Lu's Dumpling House, " still has the same charm, Friendly Staff, Great Foods, Huge Portions, Same dishes they had prior to the name change along with very tasty dumplings of course. Ambiance is terrific and Great for the whole family no matter what the ages

I came here on my lunch break, because all my coworkers rave about how good the food is. While I was sitting waiting for my food to be made, the guy working here gave me a freshly made pork bun to eat with my Diet Coke! He was so nice, and the bun was amazing! Just ate the Beef Wrap... OMG, so good!! Wow. I'm very impressed. It comes with a spicy sauce and soy sauce. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food, and this place is a solid choice. If you're in the mood for Chinese food give this place a try!

The service has plummeted since Mama Lu's took over this restaurant. Today food was slow to come out, some didn't come at all, and we had to ask two or three times for anything. Staff were rude, dropping things on our table and leaving, purposefully pretending they didn't hear me ask for something. Today was my last visit.

Glad they are now in the neighborhood. Delicious food, excellent service, and nice ambiance. We sat outdoors and the weather was perfect. They've only been at this location for 6 months and I expect they will do really well for what they offer.

2 hours delayed on a takeout order and restaurant unable to confirm or deny that they're even preparing the order

I've only grabbed takeout here, but the food never disappoints! The dumplings are super flavorful and perfectly steamed, and the service is always fast and reliable.

We came here for brunch and ordered several things. Our experience going to Empress Pavilion for many have given us expectations that were to high. The service lacked all manners or courtesy. Beyond that the staff was wildly uncoordinated and chaotic. A lot of which could be forgiven if the food were better. You can expect something on the order of frozen dumplings from the grocery store. I'd recommend a more authentic place over this chain.

Finally, real Chinese food on the Westside! Usually I have to haul to East LA, but Mama Lu's is under 10 minutes from WeHo (aka the Asian food desert). Walnut shrimp? Giant and crispy. Crab fried rice? Flavorful, not greasy. Soup dumplings? Juicy little miracles. Orange peel chicken? Crunchy, tangy, gone in seconds. They even sneak in some Taiwanese dishes, which I love. Parking's $5.50 cash in their lot was still better than playing valet roulette at Lawry's next door. Verdict: Mama Lu's is my new go-to. Westside, we finally leveled up.

BH location on La Cienega. The food was mostly very good, various dim sum plus a couple other dishes. But we had a reservation for 12:30, didn't get seated until after 1 pm and didn't even see anyone to put in our order for another 40 minutes. Then several dishes never arrived at all. Granted it was Christmas Day. I'm sure they were short staffed, but maybe they shouldn't take so many reservations when they don't have the capacity to actually serve people. We'll probably go again on a normal day and give it another try.

Food was amazing. I had the French Sirloin meat, which had the amazing flavor! The Shanghai chow mein with a little extra soy sauce was super enjoyable, and the juicy pork dumplings were extremely juicy. Definitely coming back to the spot to get the French sirloins!

always having casual lunch or diner . We enjoy the food and service. dumplings are great thank you

Beautifully presented, excellent service, absolutely yummy! AND the drinks?! 10/10 you need to visit this location

We came here after my mom's doctor appointment. I'm from the SGV and thought it would be nice to get my mom some good Chinese food, so I was happy to see Mama Lu's. My mom ordered the baked char siu bao ($9 for 3), siu mai ($9 for 4), and of course we had to try the juicy pork dumplings ($12). Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The baked char siu buns had a sugary coating on top that my elderly mom really didn't like. The siu mai also lacked flavor -- so much so that my mom had to dip them in the soup dumpling sauce just to give them some taste. And the juicy pork dumplings... I ordered them thinking there would be 10, just like the picture shows. Instead, we only got 6 in the tray. Very disappointing. This location is definitely not the same as the Mama Lu's in Monterey Park. Sadly, I won't be returning.

I will say I was pretty sad when Capital Seafood closed down, HOWEVER, Mama Lu's is a welcome replacement. It seems like most of the staff and menu is the same. We came for dim sum to celebrate my mom's birthday and we were not disappointed to say the least. Mama Lu's cooks everything to perfection, I've never had chinese broccoli so well cooked or porridge so flavorful with perfect texture. Everyone in our family loved everything we ate. The fried tofu was expertly crunchy and salty. My favorite is always the pineapple buns with egg custard and I can't rave more about these-- crisp top, soft thin bread and the most flavorful, fluffy egg custard. While Mama Lu's doesn't have the stereotypical carts going around for dimsum, the flavors and texture is unbeatable. I think we'll become regulars.

Oh my dumpling goodness! There dim sum offerings are extremely good, the portions are good sized, and the kitchen/service is fast. If you like dim sum, give these folks a try. The interior decor is pleasant and understated. You'll be happy, and they're right here on restaurant row on La Cienega in Beverly Hills. There's street and parking lot parking.

We used to go to Capital Seafood. Prices are now better and the quality is pretty much the same, although the Sweet & Sour Pork could have come from any cheap street vendor. I was expecting a little better quality on that. The other dishes were fine. There is still no atmosphere. It's still bright and bland and not inviting. However, when you enter their parking, there's a huge sign that says "CASH ONLY". Are you joking? Who the hell carries cash these days? I was like, F..K it, we'll get change from the server. Server told us they couldn't give us cash back, but that there was an ATM in the garage. Great, so they will charge me $3.75 for using it and than my bank another $4 for not using my bank's ATM. Whatever! We went with it. HOWEVER, the F..ING ATM did not have any cash to dispense. So, I was like, OK, they're going to have to let me out. I did my best to get cash, but they couldn't provide it, so they're gonna have to let me out free of charge. NO! The woman at the exit made me Venmo her the money! I AM NOT RETURNING UNTIL THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENT for parking! For Christ's sake! We live in the 21st century. You should accept contactless payment for parking, but at least credit card payment. Knowing them, they will never make the change to become up to date with the world. so this was my last visit.

Ordered so much and all of it was delicious. Staff were friendly, quick, and attentive. Vibes were chill and calming. Great time with people.

We know all Jewish people in Beverly Hills order Chinese food on Christmas Day. If you cannot fulfill to-to orders, just fucking turn off the online order service. Waited at the restaurant for an hour and my order was still nowhere to be seen. It's was total chaotic. People waiting longer than me to get their to-go orders, and people with reservations waiting to be seated. I finally contacted DoorDash to cancel my order. Waste of my time.

The place used to be Captial seafood which I liked too. Now with mamalu, the food is still awesome and so is the ambience and the staff were awesome too. I had a good time.
