    Beef broccoli with orange chicken. Fried rice and chow mein
    Arjin L.

    First time trying Chinese food out here in this city and I will be coming back! Very good service and fast which was very time convenient. The beef brocolli was so good and I came at the right time because they just finish cooking it! Orange chicken was flavorful especially with some Siracha on the side! Fried rice was perfectly cook and NOT soggy. Chow mein was mid, noodles are a bit thin and over cook so I recommend just getting double rice!!! THE VEGETABLE EGG ROLL ARE A MUST THO with the sweet and sour sauce on the side!!! Probably my favorite compare to my regular Chinese food spot. It was so crunchy and perfectly cook also. The vegetables inside wasn't soggy or overcook which u can just hear the crunch

    Prices are still high, however they did give big portions with a free spring roll which made me happy, food is delicious and customer service is friendly which is rare from a chinese fast food place. Would recommend.

    Chicken and potatoes and black pepper chicken. Not tasty.

    This place is something else. I was there 8:15 and they had plenty of noodles. So I wanted noodles and steam rice and lady said No! Only one. When you are closing I mean are they going to recycle noodles tomorrow. I'm a very long time customer. That's just not nice. The owner seems like a bitch anyways, so maybe because that's just how she runs things too bad. I hope they see this review.

    Food always tastes 10/10 minus the lunch line!!! Lol don't try getting lunch here. Always a long line, but here are the hours as of today! They change sometimes. 04-22-2023

    This is one of my favorite Chinese food places there noodles are thick and tasty. I tried their Thai tea and it's just right.

    CASH ONLY! I was in the mood for Chinese chicken curry and although I have a few go-to's for this particular dish, I wanted to try out a new place. Found a place and jumped in the car and off I went! This wasn't the place I had in mind. Caught on a red light, I looked around and found it. So, eh, why not. It's exactly as it's described: EXPRESS. It is popular for one particular reason: $6.95 2-item combo plates. Although what they had to offer for that particular special, I came through for one reason only. Put in an order for the chicken curry. It didn't come with rice, so I went ahead and ordered a side of that as well as a couple of egg rolls. "To-go, please?" Packaging was good. The food was still hot when I got back 10 minutes later. Egg rolls were delicious and a bargain for a buck and change. The seasoning on the chicken curry was good, but felt could use a bit more curry. And not only were there too many fillers, they were sliced HUGE. (See attached picture.) This wasn't chicken curry: these were potatoes/onions/carrots curry with small cut chicken pieces. If I were to come back, I'll have to be around the area AND in the mood to try that bargain combo. Otherwise, future visits are doubtful.

    I really like this Chinese food restaurant. It's lighter than Panda and more homemade. The food is always so good and I've started to try other items on the menu besides orange chicken. I would recommend this place

    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.

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!

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.

I didn't realize they also advertise their daily specials on a board outside. My dish was very decent and not too salty.

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.

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.
