    Pot stickers
    Alanie N.

    I was so excited for this and omg I was NOT disappointed! The menu was super easy to read and work through, the waitress gave up plenty of time to figure out what we wanted but as soon as we were ready she took our entire order! The food came out at different times which was great since we ordered so many things! The first thing probably came out less than 5 mins after ordering and filtered out slowly. I had no complaints on ANYTHING the pan fried noodles and the pot stickers were probably my favorite but honestly I don't know if I could truly choose one thing. I WILL be back!

    Sesame chicken
    Serena D.

    I was super excited to try this place because I've heard great things about it! Ordered the sesame chicken, crab rangoons, and pork soup dumplings. The sesame chicken has good flavor, however the chicken itself was a bit tough to bite because it was stringy. The crab rangoons were really good! If you like more savory crab rangoons compared to sweet ones, definitely try this out! The soup dumplings were also pretty good, just a bit doughy. Overall, the staff were very efficient whenever we asked for anything. This spot is also great for bigger parties like families or birthday parties. I would love to try other dishes if I were to come back!

    Crab Rangoon - unique flavor and look vs what I normally see. Delicious and perfect crispiness.

    AMAZING dim sum on the University of Illinois campus! I wish places like this existed when I was a student here. I came here for a recruiting trip for work and we were starving after doing interviews all day. Dim Sum sounded perfect. It's not too filling but gives you variety and so much flavor. The staff here was super friendly and attentive. You can tell they care because they'd be watching from afar if you seem to like it or need anything and come right away! The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. Enough so that I forgot to take pictures of everything when it came out because it smelled so amazing. The spices and seasonings were perfect. We ordered shrimp and mixed mushroom dumplings, stir fried flat noodles with pork, Mongolian beef, and crab Rangoon, and it was all perfect. I really like the Mongolian beef. We got chili sauce on the side which added some heat. I also had a Thai coffee and that was refreshing. I will definitely be back for more when I am on campus next!

    House special soup dumplings, Vegetable fried rice

    Bright, clean, cheery atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. Delicious dumplings. I wasn't a fan of the chicken curry but I was expecting Thai style so now I am aware.. this was more a chicken dish with curry spices. Vibes are Family friendly but also great for a date night.

    i've been here several times with friends. it's the perfect spot to try a little bit of everything and split the bill later lol. the soup dumplings are the best and the cucumber salad is a crowd favorite every time!! the vibes in there are very calm and relaxing. the food comes out in a timely manner.

    I would like to give a four star since the food that we ordered were delicious as expected, and the dining environment was excellent since it was newly opened. (I went there some weeks ago so I couldn't remember the names of these foods. Sorry about that!) However, we waited for a long time to check our meal. The service might be further improved. Additionally, the price was higher than we expected. I've also heard some bad comments about their food (saying like reheated food or something like that), so I would say the eating experience really depends.

    Chicken fried rice
    Frank B.

    A very clean and comfortable facility. Bright. Nice tables. Good dim sum such as har gow and shu mei (sp?) i could eat here a lot. Nice to have such a place close by. Staff very attentive but wise about not being overbearing. Cucumber salad is spicy but very good

    Hot n' sour soup

    Great food, friendly service, and a nice clean atmosphere. Definitely a family style group dinner type menu. As an example see the size of the hot and sour soup. I love this place. Just wish I was not by myself so I could experience more of their food because it was amazing! Definitely coming back. Just need to bring friends!

    Choy sum was very good/fresh

    This beautiful dining experience nestles into Campustown and delivers great food, excellent service…read moreand a gentle welcoming atmosphere that pulls it all together into a delightful time. The food is the finest Asian fare around and avoids the common error of over spicing the food. The Mapo Tofu is remarkable and each of the items we shared in our group excelled in its taste and presentation. The decor is simple and elegant amplifying the peaceful mood that surrounds the diners. Each server was polite, gracious and accommodating without hovering or intruding. Do yourself a favor and set aside a day to visit Northern Cuisine and you will not regret it.

    Ordered takeout from here so can't really comment on the service other than the food was ready…read morerelatively quickly! Portions were great for both items I ordered. Rice Noodle and Pork Salad {3.5/5}: Texture of the rolls of rice noodles were nice and chewy. There were tender strips of pork throughout with some refreshing cucumbers all mixed in a peanut sauce. Not really my preference. Braised pork belly and tofu puff {3.5/5}: Very nice portion size and tender pork belly. The sauce itself is like a thick gelatinous gravy that I was not particularly fond of.

    I may have gone into this with too high of expectations because of what I heard about the epiphany…read moregroup and that may have been unfair of me. But that being said there were a lot of GREAT things about this restaurant so I'll start there. The restaurant itself it's so moody and vibey I LOVED it, was such a good place for a date night, our waiter was so attentive, helped with all of our questions and a very patient with us as we worked through the menu. 10/10 service! We got the dumpling and pork bun appetizer and both were AMAZING, seriously the pork bun?? I could have eaten 1000 of them. Next was the sushi, I got the Atlantic hand roll and another member of the table got the rainbow roll, both were very fresh and flavorful, highly recommend. Next was the entree, I got the pork belly ramen, as a huge ramen fanatic I was SO excited, especially following up our appetizers, the bar was set high and unfortunately I was so disappointed. The broth was not very good and everything so extremely salty, I couldn't even eat the mushrooms in the bowl because they soaked up so much of the broth and it was like a salt bomb in my mouth. The pork belly was cooked well and I did really enjoy that, but for a $20 bowl of ramen, it really fell flat for me. I also got the sweet heat cocktail, and it also wasn't for me, cocktails are so personal so it's not that I wouldn't recommend someone try it, it's just that I didn't hit for me, and that was the general consensus of the table. While I had a great night, I would probably try a different restaurant for Asian food before I came back to this one!

They will gladly help you understand what ingredients are involved in various dishes. Most items are pretty standard names. I usually get the "Royal with Fried Rice" and add an egg roll. It rather mild with chicken, beef, shrimp, and artificial crab. My wife gets some sort of pineapple rice that has peanuts on it. She really likes the tofu depending on her tastebuds. Egg rolls are perfect and skewered chicken is definitely a great choice. General Tso's use to be my go to, but it fills me up too much. It's very good but I've just had to back off. We go here probably on average every 20 days. Food is always very fresh. It's just really, really. We see some of the same people eating in there on a routine basis so you know it has a following. Enjoy your Royal Mandarin main dish and don't hesitate to get fortune cookies on the way out!! Pictures to come!!

The owner didn't give me an opportunity to get a refill of tea because they disgarded it before I was able to get a refill. My husband's orange chicken was greasy. The owner was very rude to me and yelled at me and even got another customer to stand up to me and yell at me as well. This is an unprofessional restauran. I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE. PATRONS BE WARE. And we were out of state first time customers. Also the staff was always at the desk. My food came out before my egg roll. The restaurant had only a couple customers which should say a lot. Please read reviews before making any decisions to eat at a mediocre establishment like this place.
