This was one of my first time going to a Northern Cafe, I enjoyed it! I believe after reading other…read morereviews just don't expect to have the best service in this place. I was here for the food alone and it was pretty good. The portions were generous, I got a the item meat combo, and a beef noodle soup. Just don't expect this prices to be low. This space is quite large and they also have some TVs for the guests. I like the utensils and the napkins on the tables, so you don't have to keep asking the staff for more. Would go back to eat if I am in the area! Until next time!

Just discovered they serve breakfast, and if you like traditional Chinese breakfast, this place is…read moreworth trying. They offer a wide variety of options, and even during breakfast hours, you can still order lunch items. Their side dishes are very garlic-heavy, but interestingly, whenever these dishes show up at Chinese potlucks, they're always a crowd favorite. I like their noodles because you can choose between thin, thick, or knife-cut noodles, and the portions are huge. For women with a smaller appetite, one bowl could easily be enough for two people. The soup base is just average. Their fried noodles are pretty good, but for people who prefer lighter flavors, they can feel overly oily. As for the spicy noodles, to me they're more oily and numbing than pleasantly spicy -- not really my preferred style of heat. The plaza itself isn't very big, and parking is honestly one of the biggest frustrations. Traffic gets very congested, and during peak meal times, the parking lot can become completely gridlocked. The restaurant has a very casual, self-service style. You walk in and find your own seat, order by scanning a QR code, and there's a station with water and cups if you need them. Overall, a good spot if you're looking for generous portions, traditional Chinese breakfast options, and don't mind the parking situation.

We ordered a Hainan chicken plate, shrimp eggrolls appetizer, and porridge…read more Chicken was excellent! They use "walking" chicken which is a different flavor from regular bigger chickens. 3 sauces came with it - all average. The scallion ginger sauce is mostly oii and scallions. No ginger flavor. Shrimp eggrolls were small easy crunchy bites but little to no shrimp. Rice and porridge were below average. I expected more flavor in the chicken rice. And the porridge was very watery and lacked salt. Come and buy chicken only. (But even then, it's pricey for a small portion.....)

Wonton soup here goes very hard…read more Boiled cabbage is also delish! ========= $37 before tax and tip for a healthy meal with two dishes + 1 side Wonton soup (6 pieces) 5/5 Wontons were flavorful and large enough for a couple of bites, soup was clean tasting, but the star of the show was the cabbage pieces lol all in all, very flavorful, yet simple dish! Hainan chicken 3/5 I felt like the chicken amount was fine and had nice texture (soft but not overly). The green onion ginger and sweet soy sauce I liked. If you pay extra for the mushroom chili oil it enhances the dish, but the flavor wasn't my fav. The rice doesn't stick together as much and it lacked some chicken flavor for me. Cucumber in chili oil 2/5 Not my fav from other spots I had. Wish it had more garlic/flavor lol as you keep eating, it gets spicy. Won't order again You order via phone on a QR code, pretty easy and straight forward

I personally liked it quite a bit. They're fairly new and I came here with my mom. We got the…read moreGolden Prime Beef Noodle Soup, Fried rice, and the pan fried dumplings. I don't know if it's because they are brand new but they really don't skimp on the ingredients + quantity. They loaded the noodle soup with A LOT of beef. I was pretty shocked. I thought the taste was actually pretty good and it made me curious about other noodle dishes. The fried rice is ok, I would definitely choose the noodle but hence their name. We were ordering it as an extra so that be easy to eat for my dad at home so I prob wouldn't say get the fried rice as your #1 choice, still think it's decent and they did give a lot of shrimps. The dumplings were pretty good and while not a must nor my favorite, I would consider it. I have tried their scallion pancakes and salt and pepper spare ribs and I thought those were pretty delicious (to go) hence why I said let's just go here. Service was pretty good actually. The only thing I find weird was that they had their AC on but they opened 3 of their doors. I was like ? but besides that I actually quite like Pin Wei Noodle.

We stopped by to try the new restaurant that took over Phoenix. The food was good overall, and…read moreeverything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. It's a nice addition to the area, and I hope they do well. A couple of things could be improved. The restaurant was a bit warm during our visit, as the air conditioning didn't seem to be very strong. The prices are also on the higher side, so I'm still not sure the overall value matches the cost. One thing that was a little disappointing was that the menu advertised free soup and rice with the meal, but they had already run out of soup when we visited. It would have been nice if that had been mentioned beforehand or if a substitute had been offered. Overall, we had a good experience and would consider coming back. Hopefully, as the restaurant settles in, they'll work out some of these small issues.

But I give 4 star because of the freshness of the fish although it was only Tilapia (cheap at market) and marked up to $31 here with sauce and cooking it for you. I might come back when I don't feel like cooking or steaming my own fish but also someone who can read chinese since the translation on the website menu is not the greatest. The store was decently sized but only one person working in the front so when there are new customers, she gets a bit too carried away serving the new ones.

Authentic mom and pop Taiwanese restaurant…read more The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was one of the better ones we've had! Beef was soo tender and soup was very flavorful without being too salty. The popcorn chicken was also sooo good! Lightly crispy exterior and soft tender chicken inside. The seasoning was flavorful with the five spice and wasn't salty. The minced beef over rice was solid too but we liked the other two more.

This time, I went to Mudan with my family, and we ordered several dishes to share. The…read moresalt-and-pepper chicken was really good--the outside was crispy while the meat inside was still tender. The pork intestines and blood cake dish was also very flavorful, with plenty of aroma and just the right taste to go with rice. The beef noodle soup had a smooth, comforting broth, and the stir-fried dishes were all well-seasoned and went really well with rice. Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal, and the portions were just right. It's a good place to order several different dishes and share with a group. The staff were also friendly, and everything from ordering to serving went smoothly. The food had that familiar Taiwanese flavor and was very comforting. I hadn't had this kind of Taiwanese food in a long time, so I left feeling quite satisfied. I'd definitely come back again when I have the chance.

We also got so many of my favorite Taiwanese dishes--walnut shrimp, miso cod, and braised pork belly--all incredibly tasty, well-seasoned, and super tender. I definitely want to come back and try more dishes next time--there are still so many things I want to eat! Just not enough stomach space Since COVID, there have been fewer and fewer great Taiwanese restaurants around. I really hope everyone will come support them more

I used to really love this restaurant, but after my visit yesterday, I left feeling extremely…read moredisappointed. I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, and I'm willing to pay more for good food. However, the final bill didn't match the prices listed on the menu, which was very confusing and frustrating. What made it worse was that the actual dishes looked completely different from the photos on the menu. If I had known that those four small pieces of meat would cost that much, I definitely would not have ordered them. The most upsetting part was that when we tried to ask both the server and the owner about the pricing issue, we were basically ignored. On top of that, we waited about 20 minutes just for takeout packaging, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Honestly, this will probably be my last time coming here. I just hope the friends I previously recommended this place to won't end up blaming me for sending them there.

I've been hunting for a potato noodle shop for so long so I'm glad to see that one has popped up!…read moreWe got the premium tomato beef hot pot with just the potato powder noodles, which are delightfully chewy. The tomato broth is flavorful and has quail eggs, mushrooms, and some greens. I do feel like something was missing from the taste though. We also got the sausage skewer and the chicken gird skewers, of which the latter was extremely tasty. Being a QR code restaurant, I don't expect much when it comes to service. The food came out in a timely manner and you can use the online ordering system to call a waiter if needed, which was sufficient.

It was our first time trying out this restaurant, and it had been on my radar for a long time as…read morethe noodles looked really tasty from pictures on Yelp. I got the premium beef hot pot with potato powder and knife-cut noodles. The noodles are both on the firm side. I thought the potato powder noodles were chewier than the knife-cut ones. Thankfully, they weren't too chewy for my liking. I got non-spicy broth and added a little bit of chili oil provided on the table. Served at a high temperature, it was quite savory and a little salty. The beef slices were thin and filling. I noticed other ingredients, such as fish balls, peanuts, quail eggs, baby bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu. Ordering is easy with an option to choose between English and Chinese text via your phone. While the staff spoke Mandarin to me, the translated menu bridged the language gap. The wait for our food wasn't too long, and I paid at the front for our food. My order (for a minor added cost) also included a self-serve beverage and bean curd rolls with enoki mushrooms. I just had to grab my drink from a display refrigerator, and I got an iced jasmine tea (Kang Shi Fu). Service is minimal, but the woman who greeted us cleaned our table as we had sat down. The ambience was mostly quiet, but the music volume had shortly increased a lot for some reason.
