    This was $14. Sad mass of food.
    Christopher H.

    Very overpriced. This tofu skin and celery appetizer was $14. Very little spice of treatment. Lamb noodles were $21 and were nothing spectacular. I think this place is mostly vibes.

    10. Special hot chili oil noodle w/ pork and vegetables (noodles were mixed already lol)
    Arianne M.

    We came on a Tuesday evening and it was quaint and empty but service was nice and welcoming. They answered our questions regarding to the certain dishes. Friend ordered the #10 spicy chili oil noodles with pork w/ vegetables and I ordered the #19 cumin lamb noodles. I enjoyed my dish's flavors, but I'm not fond with the noodles. It had a nice bite but not as chewy like these typical noodles would. As for my friend's dish, it's a bit bland and the cut of the noodles were a bit confusing (some are small, some are big where it's half cut). We felt bad that the noodles cuts were inconsistent and some of the noodles were thick which didn't soak in the flavors very well. I do like the value of this place so we'll give this place another chance again later on.

    The chicken noodle stew mentioned. "# 1"

    Decided to try this new place a couple of nights ago. Me and my friend try restaurants at least 3 times a week. So we are fairly picky. This place exceeded our expectations. It is really fantastic. Very family run. Very fresh and homemade food. I had there "# 1" dish, stewed chicken that had carrots potatoes peppers onions with homemade noodles. (The noodles were so good that I wanted more. They have a more noodle option. Next time I'll do that). The chicken is boned which honestly I usually don't like. But the quality of the chicken was so high that I was fine with the bones. The flavor of the dish was incredible. My friend had a chicken fried rice that was also excellent. The cucumber salad was good but pretty much the same as you get everywhere in SGV. Service was very friendly and as I said, literally a family husband wife w a little kid. All in all, a great experience. I'll be back soon. Highly recommended.

    This is a hole in the wall restaurant in an unassuming plaza, but the food we ordered really hit the spot! We got the Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil, Beef Noodle Soup, and Spicy Dragon Roll. The cold noodle dish was delicious - had some mild heat and the tanginess was refreshing. We also enjoyed the beef noodle soup which was homey. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!

    Finally tried this hole-in-the-wall Chinese/sushi restaurant that I've been curious about! Employees speak Mandarin but I was able to order by pointing. The Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil and Cold Noodle Sesame Sauce were delicious - perfect noodle texture and a delightful sesame sauce with a hint of vinegar. The Salmon Lover and Pink Lady sushi, despite the slightly mushy rice, won me over with the quality and presentation. Located in an unassuming plaza, this spot did not disappoint. Will come back to explore more of their menu - a hidden delight in our neighborhood!

    Very delicious recommended Foods are clean and taste good Atmosphere is good too Young owner is chef

    Tasty food. Friendly owner. Highly recommended! P.S. the noodles were so tasty that I forgot to take pictures at the beginning.

    The chefs here are amazing, dedicated to quality! The stir-fried cabbage is amazing - absolutely order! I had to order a lamb burger too! Excellent soups too

    Service was great, seemed like there was only 2 guys working there the night we visited. Place smells crazy heavy is cumin! I would recommend the Chinese dishes, and just the nigiri. All the special rolls came with California roll base and I don't know how they mix the crab but it was not good. For me personally, it became inedible. Our favorite dish of the night was actually the most unexpected. Simple fried cabbage! So much umami taste and just enough mala. Deducted extra stars because the entire time we were eating, the men rotated smoke breaks constantly! It wasn't just disturbing how much they smoked but a bit disgusting to know they are handling our meal after smoking

    Yes, there's sushi and Chinese food at this restaurant. Don't expect authentic sushi but it honestly hits the spot. Generous portions here and the prices are good. Service was good although we were the only table. They served us loose leaf tea in a kettle so that was a nice touch. Parking was plentiful during dinner time (6-7ish). I think most of the other businesses in the plaza are already closed and this is the only place open. I think this is a great place if you have a sushi craving but also want a nice bowl of Chinese beef noodle soup. Haha. Overall, food is tasty and taste freshly made.

    Chef hard at work

    We ordered noodles in soup with beef as well as pork. Pretty good. The pork hamburger and cumin beef hamburger are good, slightly pricey. We also ordered the sushi combo that comes with 1 special roll and an assortment of 6 nigiri (mix and match salmon, eel, or tuna). The salmon nigiri was fresh, and the rest of the sushi was good. The service was great. The waitress had good recommendations, as well as spoke mandarin, english, and cantonese. I ordered 2 salmon and 1 tuna in the combo, but the chef swapped 1 salmon for tuna by mistake. He apologized and gave me two more salmon nigiri, pretty generous and great attitude.

    Beef noodle soup
    Kristine T.

    We love this quaint place with the chef coming to greet and talk with us! He's so nice! Most of all, the food was so delicious! We had the spicy fried fish, which was fried super crispy, then cooked in the sichuan soup with tofu, spam (yay!), cilantro and other veg you can choose. Their pork bun was so yummy! The bun was the right thickness n the pork was super juicy, flavorful and tender. The beef noodle soup was good with a twist. Overall, it was a really good experience.

    This is a family owned restaurant and I have to say that there's sushi is phenomenally delicious and definitely would recommend their sushi. I also got their Chinese cuisine and really love the way they made the food. This is also a very eco-friendly place and the people that are very nice and are willing to accommodate anything to our needs, which I found very Happy for I definitely recommend you coming here and there is a lot of parking as well.

Must order - signature Miao's sour soup, Golden braised lamb, Fried tofu balls, Mushroom dry pot, & House fried rice. I also prefer to customize the menu with the owner/chefs. The private room provides great service, exceptional dining experience, and special orders of delicious food such as King Crabs or Lobsters in Miao's sour soup & the spot prawns etc. Recently they curated a few new items on the menu.

Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.

We met family and friends while they already were in the middle of dinner and we came pretty late. Mama Lu's is known for their dumplings but they also serve Chinese dishes such as beef chow fun, roasted duck, fried fish fillet, and more. Staff were friendly, they were helpful and a wasn't hard to flag them down if we needed something. Overall, good place, would come again to try dumplings.

    Date: September 18, 2026…read more Selections: Filet Mignon Cube French Style Orange Chicken Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter HK Style Lemon Black Tea Experience: This was my third time coming here and I'm finally taking time to review this place. This time around we had a party of 8 and there was a wait, so after putting our name down, we sat outside to wait to be called. Unfortunately, since our party was big, we had to sit at back to back booths or wait for the bigger tables to open up. We were tired and hungry from serving so we decided to do the back to back booth option instead of waiting around. Each of our tables ordered their own set of food to share and were charged separately, but the other table covered the bill for us. Our table ended up sharing the Filet Mignon Cube French Style, Orange Chicken, and Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter. It was a good amount of food for the 4 of us, which was technically three since my husband had already ate beforehand. Each of the dishes were great, but I could have sworn the orange chicken was different from the first time I got it with my husband. Instead of it looking like little nuggets of chicken similar to Panda Express, it was thin pieces of chicken pieces and had a creamy taste rather than a tangy one. We also felt that there were less Filet Mignon pieces than the last time we came, which was a bit of a bummer. I had ordered a HK Style Lemon Black Tea and it was a bit bitter and sweeter than expected, but the savory food helped solved that issue when drinking and eating at the same time. Had enough leftovers to make 4 separate lunches for work and will come back next time for the Tofu Mushroom dish I got the first time I came here cause it was my favorite.
