The 13 Best New Restaurants in Orange County, California | Eater LA
"Northern Cafe’s second location in Irvine doesn’t specialize in one region but instead serves a broad range of Chinese dishes. Sichuan dishes share the menu with xiao long bao (soup dumplings), bubbling hot pots, and crispy Chongqing-style fried chicken. Taiwanese-style house beef noodle soup goes well in between bites of crispy pan-fried scallion pancake. The beef roll tastes like a Chinese wrap that combines thin scallion pancakes, layers of fresh green onion, and cilantro with thinly sliced beef packed inside." - Jenn Tanaka
