MaMaLi

Best bao and dumplings in town! Freshly made by the lady. Excellent value!

I've rarely entered a more exquisite place than this. The owner is alone, and she starts every dish from the base, getting all over herself with flour. A clear, wonderful, and courageous mission: to take her time to serve excellent and affordable food (please pay attention to the pace at which she chops the vegetables). For me, this is truly an example of dedication and authenticity.

A small restaurant with limited seating (perhaps designed more for takeout), it offers a variety of Chinese dishes, all meticulously prepared with care and attention by Mrs. Li, who, alone in the kitchen, prepares everything by hand, freshly made. A spectacle! The flavor of the dishes is truly exquisite; don't come here if you're in a hurry; you risk missing out on the attention and care that ensures the food tastes exceptional.

It's not your typical restaurant; Mrs. Li is incredibly busy preparing our delicious dishes, but she never forgets to smile and, in her own way, make you feel at home. There's an extremely kind young man who helps her out these days, but she usually does everything alone. Super woman! Congratulations! Delicious food prepared with quality ingredients. Get there right away as the line forms quickly... but it's worth it!

A small but welcoming place. One of the best places for homemade Chinese food. Mama Li is incredibly welcoming, the food is all freshly cooked, and since she takes care of the dishes herself, the wait is a bit longer than usual (so I recommend avoiding peak hours). But if you want to eat well and try something delicious, a little patience won't hurt.

I've always had two rules: 1. Never write reviews (I started years ago during the COVID era, and for fairness, I've always continued this way so as not to dishonor the first reviews) 2. Never review within 24 hours of trying the place (so as not to write opinions that are too "hot-button"). For MaMaLi, I HAVE to make an exception. The place is too unique and incredible for me to avoid it. The food is made with love, delicate yet warm and enveloping, as only those who tasted their grandmother's cooking as a child can understand. The pleasure of watching Mrs. Li cook is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Tasting her dishes, too, is a treat. But with something extra that solves all your daily tensions. I invite anyone who can to try it to understand what I'm saying, especially many of the "new" Michelin-starred chefs. It's touching.

The appearance of the place can be deceiving, but the food is absolutely fabulous, freshly prepared by the lovely Mrs. Li, and it tastes just like home cooking! We spent €30 for two people for two portions of noodles, one portion of bao (3 pieces), one portion of ravioli (about a dozen), and a beer.
