    Mongolian Beef
    Lola B.

    Always the best. Made just the way we like. Great customer service. Have come here for 20 plus years. Today we ordered the Mongolian beef and fried rice. Place is always clean. Price is reasonable. Food is always hot and tastes great.

    Delicious Dumplings there was 12 but I was so excited to try them I ate some before taking a picture.
    Rudy H.

    My girlfriend has been talking about this place for 2 years now. But we now live in Anaheim and it's an hour drive. So we haven't had a chance to come out here until today. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. Everything we got was so delicious and fresh made to order. Definitely worth the drive if you're a foodie this place is a must try. Also the service was great so friendly. Loved it!!

    Tofu with garlic sauce and Mongolian beef
    Mia O.

    The workers were very kind and very helpful, and our food came quickly. The place was also very clean. However, the tofu with garlic sauce had no garlic flavor, or really any other flavor for that matter. The Mongolian beef was also pretty mediocre. The egg roll and fried wontons our meal came with seemed kind of old and stale.

    COMBINATION CHOW FUN - MY FAVORITE!  $13
    Truman W.

    First time here after several months, the former chef is now manager and still very friendly and accommodating. Will give you any sauce or cook it any way you like. I ordered my favorite combination chow fun (spicy), still a bargain at $13 (up from $11 pre-pandemic) As you can tell from the photo it tastes as good as it looks.

    New menu with increased prices... still very reasonable!

    I feel like they might just be generally this generous with their servings, but we did also drop in…read more40 to 50- minutes before they were closing so that might've played a roll in how much they served us. Regardless, we definitely will be coming back. The service was friendly. The interior looked clean. Prices are fantastic! Purchased 2 combo B meals and an egg roll and it came out to just under $26.

    I was in the mood for cheap Chinese no-nonsense food. I have a go-to for this (a few blocks from…read morehere, matter of fact) but I felt like trying a new place. Yelp had this place on its list of recos, but there was something about this place that drew me in... ... and it turns out, I have actually been here before. But it has been about 30+yrs since, waaaaayyy before my Yelp years! (SIDE STORY: My GodMom and grandparents used to live a couple of blocks away from here and we often ordered food here back in the day.) They are incredibly popular. All their tables were occupied (granted, there were only three or four) but patrons coming through were non-stop. Staff were efficient as well because given the line (there were three people ahead of me) they got us outta there pretty quickly. I went for half white rice, half noods, black pepper chicken and fried chicken/wings. (NOTE: they packaged the wings separately so it doesn't get soggy from the black pepper sauce - love this!) They were good at providing disposable utensils as well as sauce packets. It didn't take long before I was on my way back to work. Noods had nice flavorful chew. Rice was fluffy. Fried chicken/wings was crispy and savory with a slight hint of sweet. But the black pepper chicken was AM.A.ZING!!! There was so much flavor packed in every bite and couldn't get enough of it! There wasn't a lot of fillers either, so that's a plus. Highly recommending this! FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 5. They give you enough for a second meal. PARKING: Lots of space shared with others. Not an issue. OVERALL: 4.5. I couldn't stop thinking about the black pepper chicken that I just had to come back the next day to have it again. Paired it with orange chicken on that second run. Not as great, but it is one of their more popular items. (Most people ahead of me ordered it and the pan got refilled during both visits.) So it was a delight coming through here again as it brought back tons of memories. I even remember making many stops at the laundromat next door. Also drove by my auntie's old house. Ahhhh, good times! I shall return! If only for the delicious black pepper chicken!

I…read morelooked up what was nearby and was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant just a short walk away. Sorry for the late review--I never seem to write them on the actual day of my visit! We arrived during lunch hours and discovered they offer lunch specials, which were surprisingly affordable. I have to admit, I'm usually skeptical of very inexpensive lunch specials because, as we say where I'm from, "sometimes cheap ends up being expensive." In other words, I worry that lower prices might mean lower quality. That was absolutely not the case here. The biggest surprise of the meal was the dan dan noodles. Wow. They were absolutely delicious--easily one of the highlights of the meal. Honestly, everything we ordered was very good. The service from our server, Carlos, was great, and another server who was blond and spoke Spanish was even more attentive. Both were very friendly and helpful. We were so hungry when we arrived that we completely missed the "Wait to be Seated" sign and almost walked halfway through the restaurant before realizing our mistake--our apologies for that! The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming. I visit this shopping area quite often, and I'm really glad I discovered Northern Cafe because I will definitely be coming back from time to time. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable lunch, I highly recommend trying their lunch specials. The quality of the food far exceeded my expectations, and I don't think you'll regret giving this place a try.

Sorry we thought kitchen was open till a last call desert at 8:45pm Many restaurants around here don't function this way. Especially fine dining.

It looked like a nice spot hidden where food is made fresh to go. I ordered the chicken Mushrooms and veggies and a wonton soup. I didn't realize they also advertise their daily specials on a board outside. My dish was very decent and not too salty. I would rather a not so salty dish so I can dose how much spicy sauce I want on it. The food came fairly quickly and I was back with lunch at my hotel in no time. Great service and easy ordering process. I really like the big board with the photos of each dish underlined with price. It makes it easy to choose the meal that you are craving for. So, give them a try. The portion is very generous! Bon appetit!

Well they have three different kinds: Fried rice, Sezhuan (spicy) fried rice, and X.O. (Fish sauce) Fried rice. I ordered Sezhuan but it really wasn't spicy. It didn't really taste like fried rice either. Every bite I had a water chestnut or mushroom and it wasn't pleasant. Eventually I decided to find and remove them all. The broccoli caught a stray simply because it wasn't flavorful it came to $22 and it was not worth it. It was not exactly nasty, but ot was not a good fried rice. Definitely would not return. The menu is extensive but it seems they throw the same vegetable mix in several dishes and that is a short cut I'm not keen on.

For this visit, we ordered the following dishes (which started arriving within 10 minutes): Roast Duck: As expected, the duck skin was crispy, and the meat was plump, tender and nicely seasoned. Beef Chow Fun: The seasoning was super flavorful, and the glossy, but non-greasy sautéed thick rice noodles had a perfect texture. The beef pieces were tender, and the portion of bean sprouts was just right without overcrowding the dish. Wonton Soup Noodle: The thin noodles were perfectly al dente. The broth was light but flavorful. The wontons had nice thin wraps, and the fillings were well seasoned and with pleasantly firm consistence. We left the restaurant feeling 110% full and satisfied. Highly recommended.

We ordered the xiao long bao, broccoli beef, beef rolls, and chicken chow mein. The xiao long bao was excellent with a good amount of soup in each dumpling, and the beef rolls were probably my favorite item, especially dipped in a mix of black vinegar and soy sauce. The broccoli beef had a nice flavor, though I wished it had a little more meat. The chicken chow mein was the weakest dish for me: the noodle texture was great, but the overall flavor didn't stand out as much as I expected. Ordering was easy and the menu was very approachable thanks to the pictures. The restaurant is on the smaller side, which actually made it easier to get a server's attention when needed. Food also came out pretty quickly. The ambiance is straightforward and comfortable -- nothing fancy, just a solid neighborhood restaurant. Because it's small, you may have to wait if it gets busy, but tables seemed to turn over quickly thanks to the fast service. One practical tip: the portion sizes are bigger than they look. We had a table for two and ended up with dishes crowding the table pretty quickly. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back.

I ended up dipping my noodles in the chili oil sauce from the wontons just to get more flavor in it. Good place to come for simple dishes. Overall pricing is reasonable as well.
