Mama Lu's Dumpling House
Mama Lu's Dumpling House is a Chinese restaurant with several locations in Monterey Park, California, known for its xiaolongbao, dumplings, and rice cakes. As of 2018, it is very popular and so has become known for its long lines. Thus, food critics from publications like the San Gabriel Valley Tribune praised its food for being worth the wait.
In 2014, a fire truck smashed into one of its locations at the intersection of Garfield Ave and Emerson; in August 2018, health inspectors closed the 153 E Garvey location for two days due to violations.
