DAUM Commercial Real Estate Services directed the acquisition of an approximately 5,000-square-foot restaurant space at 1212 S. Baldwin Ave. in Arcadia to Dream1212 LLC, the owner of Mama Lu’s Dumpling House, a traditional Chinese restaurant with several locations throughout Southern California. The purchase price was $4 million.

The Arcadia property now serves as Mama Lu’s sixth location, said DAUM EVP Rudy Lara, based out of DAUM’s South Bay office. “With its flagship shop in Monterey Park, Mama Lu’s already has a strong following in the San Gabriel Valley, and our client was looking to expand its presence in the area with an Arcadia location,” Lara said.

Lara added that the acquisition is part of a rapid expansion of Mama Lu’s, with the openings of Beverly Hills and Las Vegas locations planned for early 2025. In addition to Rudy Lara, the DAUM team included VP Nick Peukpiboon and DAUM’s Nathan Lara and Andrew Lara.
