In Short – "Mama" Vivian Lu puts old family recipes and careful labor into her specialty dumplings with everything made from scratch. Chinese locals signal their approval by packing into this cute little storefront that pops with butter yellow walls, rosewood chairs and stylish framed Chinese art. Kids in pink velour Hello Kitty playsuits slurp at noodles while splashes of Mandarin conversation animate the room. If you're new to dumplings, the friendly waitresses will help guide you around the choices here: Juicy pork and crab, Chinese spinach and pork, shrimp and napa cabbage and pan…

Good Dumplings for a Good Price
by klaatu26 at Citysearch
My wife and I went there last night for the first time. We had their juicy pork dumplings. They are actually dumplings with a little bit of soup inside them. They were awesome. We also had some dumplings with pork, shrimp, and Napa cabbage. Those were really good too. It was a small busy place with great food. It was worth the trip from the Los Angeles area. We'll be returning to try their other stuff.
- Pros: Good Food, Good Prices
- Cons: Small Place

Great dumplings!
by MisterSteve at Citysearch
The dumplings here are great. I love going here for the dumplings and the onion cake. The noodles are very very good as well, but be forewarned that if you are going to order that English is not the easiest language to get around with in here. I am usually the only non asian person in the whole dining area. Small dining area, and usually rather busy like most places in this part of town. Very inexpensive and it is easy to feed two people for less than $20.
- Pros: Great dumplings, great prices, good parking
- Cons: English doesnt get you far, CASH ONLY!
