This location is much better than the el segundo location. The Chongqing chicken is absolutely incredible. The spice level, the crunchiness, it hits every time.The beef rolls are a go to for me as well. Whether you use the tasty dipping sauce or make one of your own with the table condiments.Give this spot a shot.

The beef rolls were mostly cilantro and green onion. The scallion pancake didn't have scallions in it lol

(Grubhub Delivery)This is my go-to for Dumplings. So glad it is in my home area (West LA, Sawtelle, Brentwood -- but you can be sure my home is not at B.)Ordered their Lamb Dumplings again recently. This time boiled. Verdict? I prefer the fried ones. Notable point and the reason for this review update:After several delivery -Grubhub orders from other restaurants or eateries, Northern Cafe is the first restaurant or eatery that provided utensils. All the others did not provide utensils EVEN though they specifically asked if I wanted utensils (and I clicked yes).

Always enjoy this place for a warm satisfying meal. Staff is nice to me even when they were super busy. The beef noodle soup was just ok, too salty and noodles too soft. The green beans were a little overcooked as well. We were the last customer and they were overwhelmed so it is ok this time.

This is what you would get if you ordered lamb skewer from this place. It's all burned and look at the size. Such a joke

The short take:Solidly good fresh food, in a semi-fast food restaurant atmosphere. Add good service and you have a winner. The longer take:Came here with my Estonian dining companion. Based on the location (a shopping center that feels like the setting if a zombie movie) our expectations were minimal at best. We were very pleasantly surprised. First, we didn't realize there was actually table service as there is also an order up option. We sat down, and the second surprise came with the depth of the menu.We opted for some safe fare: steamed vegetable dumplings and cold sesame noodles with shredded chicken. Both of these dishes were (that's right, I am using this descriptive yet again) surprisingly good. Fresh, tasty, well prepared... We are definitely coming back here to give other menu items a spin.Other than the location, I highly recommend this place.

Don't come here. Food took almost 40 minutes to arrive despite ordering in person and dining in. Took them 30 minutes and me asking for them to realize the order never got from the cashier to the kitchen. And they didn't offer anything as an apology. Even for a Chinese restaurant, this is not good service. Go somewhere local like Palace Seafood, hop li or hop woo instead. And why do soup dumplings need peanut sauce in them? Smh

Great food, I had the Shanghai Noodles and they were fantastic. I'd recommend getting it to go because the atmosphere is lacking. It is very stuffy/humid and has a strong bleach smell.

The quality and taste of the food is among the very best offered in Southern California!The restaurant is very casual and family friendly. The servers are very kind and helpful. This is not a fancy ego driven celebrity chef style restaurant. It is a very very good casual restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, great food, and very reasonable prices for the overall delivered service and food quality.Steven G.
