Dishonest Tipping PracticeI've been to this northern café in Beverly Hills before with my white husband and had a pleasant experience, so I decided to take my parents visiting from Beijing. Unfortunately, this time was very different. The waiter didn't greet us or offer any conversation. We didn't need his help for the self-service water, but he poured it for us anyway and then walked away. At other northern-style cafes, tipping isn't expected since it's mostly self-serve. Here, you scan a QR code to order, pack your own food, and check out at the counter.When it was time to pay, I noticed the waiter had already selected a tip for me without my consent. The only words he spoke were asking me to swipe, and when I questioned why the tip was already included, he seemed irritated and just told me to sign. I didn't want to make a scene in front of my parents, but this felt like tip fraud.Also the food tasted not great, you can see the dumplings were broken. I'd appreciate a response from the owner about whether this is standard practice and a partial refund of my tip. If it is, it's even more concerning.

The Zha Zhang noodles are honestly my favorite thing on the menu... they're very fresh and mildly sweet and salty. I will have to say that everything on the menu is pretty exceptional. The beef roll, the dumplings, all of the protein entrees (yes... there is Orange Chicken... and yes it is very good). Generally Northern Cafe is one of my delivery favorites to Uber Eats/Doordash, but I've recently found out how much more affordable it is to dine in, and this location has plenty of seating, parking and friendly service. I will be back soon.

It seems like they're not too interested in your business if you're not Asian. We walked in and all the diners were Asian and we were essentially discouraged from dining there.

The food is actually amazing and at first I thought why the price is a bit expensive but now I realize that the portions are pretty big. I would definitely recommend trying this place out

It was edible. The egg rolls were ok and the Mongolian beef with broccoli was ok. Same for the rice. It wasn't the taste I expected after 40 dollars. I was able to eat it. It just that I have had better tasting non-bland versions of this same meal at cheaper places. I will go once more just in case it was an off night.

Authentic Chinese food in LA. The interior is clean and modern. Service is very fast. Every dish was delicious. Overall had a great meal here!Beef cumin lamb: 10/10 Lamb meat was juicy and tender. The grilled onions were my favorite. So flavorful, can really taste all the spices.Pork xiao long bao: 9/10 Filled with warm pork soup, great with vinegar and chili oil. The shape is pointier than usual like a Hershey's kiss lol.Beef rolls: 9/10 Amazing! The onion pancake is flaky with a toasted crunch. The beef is soft and brushed with a sweet and salty hoisin sauce.

So today is my 5th day in a row eating at Northern Cafe. On my 1st visit I simply came in because of its location. It is like 100 steps from the hotel I'm staying. FOOD: On my second visit I truly came back because the food is DELICIOUS. Everything I have tried thus-far has a distinct natural flavor. Everything is fresh, with unique blends of aromatic herbs. SERVICE: OMG I looooove the servers! I've had the pleasure of interacting with 3 different young men, all kindhearted, super respectful and FUN! If you are in the area PLEASE come visit this restaurant. The dumplings are beyond delicious! TRUTH BE TOLD everything is AMAZING!I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW
