The portions are very generous for the price, especially with how expensive everything is now. You definitely get your money's worth here.

I'll be coming back!

Service: 5 The staff is always so nice but also super quick! Food: 5 Everyone has their own opinions about Americanized Chinese food but this place is legit! Everything I've had has been FIRE and they stack your plate tf UP! And it's at a VERY reasonable price. Vibe: 5 Idc. I love a mom and pop type vibe. They have a few tables but it's honestly more of a to go type vibe. The best food comes from places that look like this. Love yall!

This was my first trip to this location of Northern Café in El Segundo. I live on the east side and…read morethis is one of my go to restaurants out there I was able to online order my food, and there were lots of different options to order from. I want this hot and sour soup, the noodles, and the beef rolls. I would've ordered some other items, but it was too much food for just myself. The restaurant is nice and spacious. Parking can' be a little bit dicey because of how popular all the establishments are here in this plaza. I got really lucky for finding the spot I was able to find. But I feel like it easily have been a nightmare and me looping around for a long time. But otherwise, I felt very fortunate funding the parking that I did Northern cafe here in el segundo is a great addition to the restaurant variety.

I've been to Northern Cafe in El Segundo a few times, both for dine-in and through Uber Eats…read more Unfortunately, my first couple of experiences were not great when it came to the food, although the service was good. I decided to give it another try today and ordered the chicken dumplings with chili oil, pork ear, and custard buns. The custard bun was the only dish I really enjoyed. The pork ear was way too salty, and the chicken dumpling filling was dry, extremely oily, and very salty. I could only eat two pieces before I had to stop. I really wanted to like the food because the service has been good, but after several visits, the food just hasn't worked for me. I hope they can improve the seasoning and consistency because I'd be happy to give it another try in the future.

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!

September 2026. The food was mediocre and bland. Ordered…read morethe BBQ pork over fried rice. I thought it would be similar to Sam Woo's BBQ pork, but it was not. The pork were thin slices and the taste was not flavorful. The fried rice tasted okay. Rice was a bit mushy. The menu looked good. One good thing is the restaurant didn't ask you for tip. It's the price of the food and tax, that's it. The interior looked clean. There are about three or four bar chairs for eating.

It was our first time here and she greeted us warmly, gave us some suggestions and told us what her favorites were.

For all the food and with some leftover, that fed 5 people it only cost $91! It was a steal. The food was great and it came out fast.

First time here and loved it. Didn't even know about this place even after visiting a store next…read moredoor. I happened to see a post about it and thought... I know that area! lol. We decided to try it. It's a small just take out only place. Parking is always easy. On the menu, I saw chow fun and knew we had to try that. And also the lemon chicken. I don't usually see those in some Chinese restaurants so when it's there we try it. We also had the egg plant tofu. Everything was absolutely delish! Will definitely come back and try other menu items. People there were also very friendly.

Would order again but make sure gravy is given before leaving premises.

Tried out the Shrimp Scrambled Egg from their lunch special which includes side soup and veggie egg…read moreroll. Egg roll is meh. Side soup tasted like powder based which is light in flavor. Chili oil did save the side soup. The omelette was well balanced in flavor. Cooked to perfection as the egg was very fluffy. Bok Choy is plain boiled. But good to cut down from the saltiness of the eggs. The shrimps were large hibachi sized and very plump! I got around 9-10 pieces of shrimp which all were consistent in scale. Save 5% when paying in cash! A little under 17$ for a perfect omelette is a fair deal.

Located on the border of Torrance and Gardena, the restaurant, with its casual décor, is large enough for 60 guests when 2 large round party tables are included. The always-friendly staff brought the menu and water right away. 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.

I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

One thing I…read morewill note is we were told the large platters would feed 10-12 people and boy was that an extreme overstatement. We majorly fudged the bucket and had so much extra food. We had about 12 people over and between eating multiple plates and everyone taking so much food home we would have been better off getting the small platers. The food and portions were amazing. The value for the cost far exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a great place to eat that is cost efficient and delicious this is your place. The platters took less than 30 minutes to prepare after we paid so hands down top tier service!

XLB: taste wise was delicious, the second time we came, the dumplings were not piping hot, but more like warm. I ate them fast to not allow them to get any colder.

I loved the noodles and overall dish! Hot & spicy beef noodle soup: we picked the knife cut noodles. The noodles were a bit too thick for my liking, but the soup was very flavorful. There was so much meat in the bowl! Spicy pork & shrimp wontons: pretty straightforward but delicious. Green beans: loved them! I will definitely be back!
