Northern Cafe

I really enjoyed the food here. Small restaurant but not a single empty seat on a rainy day. Totally worth waiting in the drizzle for some yummy food. We ate: garlic green beans, beef pancake, dumplings, potstickers, pork chow mein, and a few others. Lots of food to share. Food comes out as it's ready so it's staggered eating. 10/10 would go again

The line here can be a hit or miss. From getting seated immediately to waiting over an hour. The people don't seem very friendly here, but there are some who are and helpful. When you walk in, it's either loud or quiet depending on how many tables are full. The food here is pretty consistent and honestly, in the area, one of my faves. The Szechuan chicken actually has good pieces of chicken whereas some places give scraps. The beef noodle dish we got was spicy but really good! The green beans were delicious!We got a fish dish and it was spicy.... But really good as well! The beef roll is always a must. (If you have leftovers, take home and air fry)We also ordered dumplings in spicy sauce but didn't come out even when we almost done so we cancelled it. Kind of sad that it was taking so long and we didn't my get to eat it... Next time...

TLDR - food was delicious, but service was lacking. Food - 5 stars! We loved everything we ordered. -Juicy Pork Dumplings: True to its name - juicy! Also had good amount of meat and soup! Loved every bite of this. -Dry Fried String Bean: So so SO good! Each bean was flavorful and just seasoned to perfection. Dare I say.. better than Din Tai Fung's? -Beef Noodle Soup: Really enjoyed this one! It satisfied my noodle soup craving and had a generous amount of meat. Service - 2 stars. The service here was quite... strange. It was really slow and inconsistent. We ordered 3 bowls of the Beef Noodle Soup. One bowl came out pretty quickly, but we noticed right away that it had the wrong noodle. No worries, we decided no need to bring it up. After waiting 10-15 minutes.. the other 2 bowls still hadn't come out yet. Everyone else was more than halfway done with their meals. We decided to inquire and the server acted as if nothing was wrong and said it was coming. When she brought it out and handed me my bowl, she looked me in the eyes and said "this isn't the right noodle that you ordered, is that OK?" I honestly was shocked that she asked me this instead of just fixing the order. Very confused about this customer service. Also, our table had ordered a bowl of white rice and it seemed they forgot about it until we asked about it. Overall.. while the food was good, unfortunately, the service left much to be desired.

Found this business on Yelp! Ordered online and was ready as stated in a text and email.Nice location. Very busy inside. All tables were occupied. No one seemed interested in asking why I was there. I inquired about my order; it was ready but they needed to add the rice.Flavors were very nice. I had more than 3 items in my cart but took them out when the total came to $70. Beef was $22.99, chow mein $18.99 and rice $2. Portions could have been larger for the price. However, I will try them again.

Tried this place due to seeing it on tik tok and I have to say it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was good. All the food was very flavorful and portion sizes were on point for the prices. The only reason I am not giving 5 starts is that the place itself is a little cramped and it took the staff a bit of time to get our food orders upon our arrival. All the plate sizes are definitely shareable. Would consider going back as it was delicious.

It has been awhile since I was here last. So when my friends and I planned a dinner here, I was excited. This location is small but clean and spacious enough to accommodate approximately 30-50 people. Staff were nice and prompt. We ordered:1) Spare ribs and garlic 2) Dried fried string beans3) Chicken Chow Mien4) Sautéed Dice Chicken with Chili and Pepper5) Potstickers6) RiceEverything we ordered taste spectacular and all of them is a must to try. A bit on the salty side but that's Chinese food to you! I left the place full and satisfied. I will definitely be back.

Have you ever been hyper fixated on food? Well, it's happening to me currently. I have been loving the wonton soup here. You need to try it. Juicy soup dumplings, spicy wontons, green onion pancake, shrimp with egg, beef noodle soup, and sweet and sour fish fillets, have been our usuals. Everything on their menu is good though. I don't think I've tried something I didn't particularly like. Staff is friendly, attentive, and consistent. I really like my dining experience here. It can get busy during peak dining hours but that's normal. I'm already looking forward and planning my next visit for the wonton soup! LOL!! Ambiance is chill, open seating once you walk in but of course if packed, you'll get put on a list. There's booths and tables. Can accommodate large parties. But that would basically take up the entire half of the place.

The star of the show was the green beans! So flavorful. The chive, pork and shrimp pot stickers with the dipping sauce was a close second and the beef roll is a must order. It's a huge portion with tons of beef. The beef noodle soup and Dan Dan noodles however fell short as they were both not as flavorful. I give it three stars purely on the service. Waitress was severely unfriendly and did not provide even average customer service.

I come here every now and then, and haven't tried a lot of different dishes. However, I love their spicy beef noodle soup. It's not that spicy but the broth has great flavor, the noodles are the perfect texture and the beef is so tender. The string beans are probably one of my favorites, I've tried different places but I love how they are crunchy and flavorful. The chive and pork dumplings were good but they weren't amazing, I feel like the sauce that comes with it provides majority of the flavor.The food always comes out quickly and the staff is very observant and takes great care of their customers.

Excellent and I mean excellent food. 2nd time coming in and I will be making a third trip. Very friendly staff even when asking what the food they just delivered to the other table is . No regrets adding these savory and crunchy pork ribs. The noodles we ordered had so much bite and an exquisite flavor that wasn't spicy in our opinion but perfectly added to the rest of the dishes. As always, family style portions so come hungry and bring a crew or you will be taking plenty home which isn't bad either . My little boy loved his orange chicken and was fighting us on sharing. We were able to snag a few pieces and that crunchy little bite never misses Highly recommend this spot and now I'm told they have multiple locations. More delicious food for all
