C P Baking Corporation - San Gabriel

I've been a long-time fan of this restaurant. I really enjoy their soup dumplings, Shanghai rice cakes, and pan-fried pork buns. The homemade stir-fried noodles are perfect for a burst of seasoned and rich flavor.

The parking is plentiful here. The seating is super crowded, and difficult to maneuver through the restaurant. The prices were pretty reasonable as were the portions. The main complaint that I have is that the floors are sticky, the tables are sticky, the condiment bins are sticky and the bathroom seemed like they have never cleaned it ever. It's this horrible stench that hits you when you go in and there was stuff everywhere. I don't know if this is a build up or someone had a horrible situation before I went in there. Don't go to the bathroom. Then this place is fine.

It's one of our favorite places. the place is not from the extraordinary . we have tried various dishes from their menu and have never been disappointed. my family loves the seaweed and the rice cake dishes. the staff is always friendly, had never had problems with the parking lot. even if they are busy, they have never experienced a long waiting period. beautiful family environment.

I first attempted to escape from Mama Lu's because the waiting list was 50 to 75 minutes long, but I was added to it comfortably through the Yass. However, I was so hungry that I decided to check out Lu's Garden nearby. Parking was a nightmare, so I eventually went to Mama's Dighouse instead. According to the waitress, it's not the same establishment as the one I mistakenly tried to go to in Monterey Park. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly at the door. The place was a bit busy, but I didn't have to wait long to be seated. They served a generous portion of hot green tea, which was delicious. The only downside was some water stains on the table that made it look somewhat dirty, although it seemed like they were just stubborn stains. I ordered the juicy pork dumplings, which I would rate a 7 out of 10. They were good, but I was expecting something better. My favorite dish, however, was the pan-fried dumplings; they had the perfect crispiness and flavor. I also ordered the shrimp and vegetables, which were cooked wonderfully. The shrimp were tender, not overcooked or dry, and had a nice kick of seasoning to them. Overall, the place is decent—not the best, but certainly worth a visit.

Not the real mama lu. this is a copycat and it used packed xlb. it tastes like the ones they buy from 99 ranch. that's not a real mama lu!
