LA | This Classic Cantonese Spot – Countless Visits 🤤

Long-time followers know I've shared Mama Lu's Dumpling House before—and yes, I keep coming back. This classic Cantonese spot has multiple locations around LA, and it's the real deal. 🔥 Why I love it: • Classic old-school Cantonese vibes • HUGE portions • Dim sum available during dinner too! 🥟 We picked it for our Chinese New Year family gathering—big tables, perfect for groups. Ordered a ton, and it was still crazy affordable. 💰 What we ordered: 🥟 Soup Dumplings (XLB) – Their signature, and I order these every single time. Steaming hot, paper-thin skins, bursting with soup. Careful—don't burn yourself! 😂 A must-order. 🍤 Golden Shrimp / Walnut Shrimp – My absolute fave. Sweet-ish, crispy exterior, bouncy shrimp inside. That creamy sauce? Addictive. Pair with walnuts = perfection. 🤤 🥩 Black Pepper Filet Mignon – Thought this might be American-Chinese, but wow—surprisingly good. Rich black pepper sauce, incredibly tender beef. First dish to vanish from the table. 🍗 Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings – Thought it'd be a small plate—NOPE. Portion shocked me. 😱 Crispy, garlicky, fragrant. So good. 🥟 Dim Sum Favorites: Siu Mai, Har Gow, Egg Tarts – Dinner + dim sum = dream come true. Big pieces, solid filling. Siu mai was especially on point. 🌶 Spicy Wontons (Red Oil) – Unexpected winner! Spicy, fragrant, silky wrappers. Dip in that chili oil and thank me later. 🍜 Shanghai Thick Noodles – Massive portion. Old-school, style with shredded pork + cabbage. Dry-fried, not saucy. 📍 Mama Lu's Dumpling House Multiple LA locations If you want affordable, no-fuss Cantonese that hits every time—this is it. #LosAngeles #LAFood #CantoneseFood #DimSum #SoupDumplings #FamilyDining
