We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered. The answer to that was, there was a party ahead of us that ordered quite a few dishes, but we were served before them, SO the answer became apparent that the kitchen was slammed and we were fine with that! The cucumber dish was fantastic! The soup dumplings looked and tasted fresh and delicious. The one downer was only one dumpling had soup, but we poured the spicy sauce on them and that was great. Looking forward to trying new dishes I've never had before.

Our new favorite dim sum restaurant. Having moved up from the Orlando area where dim sum is more prevalent, this is still up there with the best of them. We've also decided we like the dim sum better coming from the kitchen better than the novelty of the push carts. While the carts are quicker to get the food upon sitting down, we've found the food coming from the kitchen to be hotter and fresher. Service has also been very good on both visits.

My dining companion and I have enjoyed a meal twice at this restaurant, the second time bringing another friend with us. Service is polite and swift from the moment you walk in the door. We have the same solid experience on a Friday evening as we did on a Saturday afternoon. Service staff are courteous, professional, and swift. On the first visit, my dining companion, and I split the soup, dumpling, sampler, two eggrolls and the stirfry noodles. I'm not sure why we thought the soup dumplings would be enough for two people as a dinner, but we ended up having to order the eggrolls stirfry noodles after we tried the dumplings. The dumplings are delightful. There's just enough meat and dough per bite to make the taste appealing. On the second visit, we again tried the chicken, dumpling entrée, the Dan Dan, noodles, the cucumber salad, and the chicken fried rice. It was definitely enough for a lunch for three people who had skipped breakfast. The plate presentation is as appealing as the taste. If we are in the Jacksonville area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop again at this restaurant and recommend it!

She had the most gentle smile, and she genuinely cares about what she's doing based upon her communication with us. She was new and was honest about the menu option that she was aware of and what she did not know she went and researched! She is off to a fantastic start, and she was most impressive. Now let's talk about food, outstanding! We had a variety of things that my friend ordered. I didn't even look at the menu. The dumplings were excellent dim dim I believe is what it was called was exceptionally spicy however, as the manager explained to us it was Asian mild, which is different from American MIL. The dessert I had a mango not sure what it was called, but I could go back for 34 and five helps of that! Overall, the food was rich with flavor, authentic, and definitely worth the money!

Our servers were attentive throughout the entire meal, constantly checking in and making sure we had everything we needed and refills on our drinks. We started with dim sum, as usual, and everything came out hot, fresh, and fast. I also tried the Hong Kong-style pan-fried noodles and added chicken. The chicken does cost extra, but it is 100% worth it--the dish was delicious! The beef and broccoli was also super flavorful and saucy. Last but definitely not least, the BBQ pork buns are probably some of the best pork buns I've ever had. They're filling, flavorful, and come out perfectly hot. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to!

The pork soup dumplings were a bit different than how I'm used to having them prepared. They were thicker at the top and there wasn't much broth in them. However, the pork inside was a generous amount so it made up for the lack of broth. I enjoyed the chili oil and the vinegar provided on the side, great addition to every bite. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup which was very aromatic, which I love about the dish whenever I order it. It had plenty of heat which is great as well. Finished it all off with a bottle of Sapporo. The service was quick and easy, and the ambiance was laid back which I loved for a nice rainy afternoon lunch.

Beef noodles - the broth taste decent and had just enough spicyness to my liking. The beef was tender and I would say to it's price has reasonable amount. Although I thought it has the wide rice noodle but instead it came with the thin noodle. Overall, their beef noodles satisfied my cravings. 2. Veggie spring rolls- this actually surprised me as it came out super small ‍and almost nothing inside. At first I thought the wrapper maybe was just thin and will have a good fillings inside but I was wrong. 3. Pork steam soup- my husband ordered this. He was a bit disappointed as it was dry inside. Service- we noticed that there's just 1 all around server which made the wait time longer especially when the customers started to showed up. Ambiance- it was strategically located and the inside has enough space even with the numbers of occupied tables when we were there.

They are FAR superior and we always get great food, rather eating in or out. Looking forward to my next trip to Mamalings! My only criticism is I wished they opened a little earlier in the day.
