In addition to all the fun things, Mama Lee’s is generously offering her homemade wontons in efforts to raise money for Baba’s House’s (15th Street small business) air conditioner in April & May!
You’ll have a choice of chili wontons and wonton soup with the option of adding noodles. We highly recommend pre-ordering as we will have a very limited amount available for day of orders. Pre-orders will close on 4/11 at 10pm*.
