Nasty nasty stay away! Save your money. Chow mein is so undercooked. And has a weird taste to it. Ordered the chicken they gave me more veggies than anything. Do not bother go to Panda across the street! In today's high economy walk away!! Don't fall for the false pictures outside

Tried this place last night. PROS -Easy to find parking -several selections -looked appetizing -big portion CONS - greasy/ overfried egg rolls - rice was uneven with white rice in between fried rice portions -seating area did not look so inviting Not sure I will return but I guess I've appeased my mind since I always looked towards the business when in this shopping area.

Received my food cold.  Told staff and all she had to say was " Want to use my microwave " lol

Received food cold and I told a staff member all she said was " want to use my microwave" don't waste your time coming here. Service sucks, food sucks never coming back.

The original plan was to have Thai food for lunch. But first, gotta make a stop at T-Mobile next door to claim that Tuesday perk! I couldn't help but look up after putting my perk in the trunk and spotted this place. Immediately, my appetite 86'd the Thai food craving and called an audible: Chinese food it is! There was nothing bangin' about this place. It's almost like a plain-Jane-what-you'd-expect from a no-nonsense eatery. There were a couple of tables occupied but most people came through for take out. There was one person ahead of me, so I got the chance to take a look at what they had to offer. Most of the dishes consist of chicken, maybe a couple of pork dishes, egg rolls, steamed vegetables. I also noticed a fried fish filet. But I went for a 2-item combo: sesame chicken and salt and pepper fried chicken with half white rice and half noodles. I watched the young lady put my food together, and immediately I noticed how generous she was with the helpings. I knew off the bat the amount of food I got would yield a 2nd meal! NOODLES: Typical of most Chinese fast food spots. I'll even admit it's pretty comparable to Panda Express' version. Good seasoning, great chew. I liked it! SESAME CHICKEN: The chicken was cooked tender and juicy. However way they made the sauce was a really good blend of savory with a hint of sweet, and if you feel compelled for some heat, red peppers aplenty. (I skipped it, not really a spicy food kinda gal.) I liked this as well! FRIED CHICKEN W/ SPICY SALT & PEPPER: It's their own version of salt and pepper chicken and it's SOOOO GOOOD!!! The wings are bigger in comparable to most wings restos. Deep fried crispy, on the outside, moist and really juicy on the inside, and their blend of salt and pepper was perfect! Like the sesame chicken, if you need heat, it comes with jalapeño slices. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. Not a lot of interaction, but very friendly. Service with a smile! VALUE: 5. $8.79 for the 2 items. You get waaaaaayyy more than what you pay for. Truly bargain eats up in here! PARKING: Shared with many others. Shouldn't be an issue. OVERALL: 4.75. As mentioned earlier, most people came through for takeout. They do have a following - their doors were swinging open with customers coming through from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. I'm not gonna bother waiting for a T-Mobile perk to come through for a follow up visit. I shall return at first opp! Might check out that fried fish filet. But yeah, it certainly was a satisfying switch-a-roo!

Disgusted to say the least. I've love eating here forever until today. Service is good but unsanitary.

Beef broccoli, orange chicken w fried rice.

Found this place by chance. Ordered the 2 choice combo B. I had the fried rice, beef broccoli and orange chicken. Fried rice was good and didn't need to add soy sauce. Beef broccoli was as it should be, but the orange chicken was good. Flavor was orange chicken, but it was still semi-crunchy even after being drenched in the sauce. Great price at about $10. Filling enough for 2 meals for me. Small area with some seating and they sold boba drinks there but it was powdered flavors.

I would very much not encourage anyone to eat here. Only reason why I am giving it a two star is because the sweet young Asian lady who was so kind helping me. I can't even force myself to finish the food. Nothing tastes good. I've never had Chinese food taste like this.. Even the chili sauce sucks, as well as the teriyaki sauce.. I don't know who's running the kitchen but I would reevaluate your staff... Don't risk it on some of these positive reviews

Dry and greasy

Northern Cafe -  El Segundo - Pork Soup Dumplings (8)

I had a great experience at Northern Cafe in El Segundo! The menu has an extensive selection of dim…read moresum, dumplings, and signature Chinese dishes, so there's plenty to explore. Walked in and I love the ambiance of the space. It's modern/sleek with traditional elements. Some of my personal favorites were the cucumber salad, garlic string beans, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), beef noodle soup, and honey walnut shrimp. The soup dumplings were especially delicious with lots of chili oil and ginger, and the garlic string beans had that perfect snappy texture. Everything gave me another reason to want to come back and try more of the menu! The cocktails were another highlight. I loved how beautifully they incorporated Asian flavors, and honestly, I could have worked my way through the entire cocktail menu if I weren't the designated driver. There are plenty of nonalcoholic options, too, which is a nice touch. Our server was fantastic, and the overall experience made this a spot I'd happily revisit. The El Segundo location is also convenient, with a large shared parking lot in the plaza. If you're looking for a place to enjoy dim sum, soup dumplings, Chinese comfort food, and creative cocktails in the South Bay, Northern Cafe is worth checking out!

I visited Northern Cafe as a solo diner. Here is how the experience went:…read more I was seated immediately as a party of one. Tables were turning over quickly, and I noticed larger parties who arrived after me were also seated without a wait. Water arrived immediately upon sitting down, and the waitress took my order shortly after. The food pacing was fantastic--the items came out sequentially via food runners: Chicken Fried Noodles first, followed by the Beef Roll, and finally the Pan Fried Pork & Cabbage Dumplings. Service lagged once the food arrived. My server didn't check back on the table at all during the meal and only returned after I was finished and requested takeout containers, at which point she offered to bring the check. Additionally, a staff member cleared the chili oil, shoyu, and vinegar from my table while I was still eating, without asking if I was finished, which forced me to eat my last few bites without sauce. The kitchen efficiency and food timing are impressive, and prices are fair for the portion sizes. However, table service could be more attentive toward the end of the meal, particularly regarding checking in on diners and leaving table condiments until the meal is complete.

I ordered the pork chop with black pepper sauce, and it was delicious. It even came with a side of garlic noodles, which was a great addition to the meal. We also got a free side of deep-fried mantou, which was a nice bonus. The service here is excellent. My friend is vegetarian, and our waiter was incredibly helpful and patient in trying to figure out what he could actually eat on the menu. He was even honest enough to warn us that the oil used for the fried mantou might not be strictly vegetarian. That being said, I honestly don't recommend coming here if you are a vegetarian. The options are extremely limited--my friend pretty much only had the choice between garlic noodles or string beans. Overall, it's a solid spot with friendly staff and really good food if you eat meat, and I'll definitely be coming back for the pork chop or the duck. But if you or someone in your group has a strict vegetarian diet, you'll probably want to look somewhere else.
