iHome Kitchen Chinese Dumpling House (Beverly）

Northern Cafe is fire! The dumplings were amazing, so juicy and flavorful. Service was on point, super chill vibes from the staff, and they were quick with everything. If you're craving bomb dumplings and a great spot to chill, this is it. Totally worth the hype, no cap! Will be going back again soon!

Cucumber salad was just soy sauce and garlic and the beef noodle soup the soup was bland, beef was hard, not spicy at all, noodles soft, and veggies over cooked. Service was great but I won’t return not authentic in my opinion.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Northern Cafe, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding; the staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient. They made sure we felt welcomed and attended to all our needs promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. I particularly enjoyed the [mention specific dishes if desired], which were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The ambiance of the cafe was also delightful. It had a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, Northern Cafe is the place to go. I highly recommend Northern Cafe to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu!

Pretty decent Chinese food. I had the Dan Dan noodles, which was good but not spicy like other places, so it depends on your preference. I still liked it. The cucumber made it quite refreshing. The pork soup dumplings, I ate too fast and forgot to take a photo. Decent place and I would visit again. It was a bit expensive but cheap for the area.

Pretty yummy for a quick lunch. Fried rice was okay but the noodles and dumplings were very delicious! Definitely would recommend and order that again. Fast service. Friendly staff. Waiter came about 3 times to see how we were doing.

An authentic Taiwanese style noodle place in ‘good asian food desert’ of Beverly Hills lol. I noticed they are back to serving beef noodle with chunks of beef like it should be. For a period I recall they started serving the beef in thin slices like you see with Japanese ramen. Glad they are back to the classic style.

Probably the most authentic Chinese food you will eat in the area. Very nice staff and the food is on point! Not as busy as the one next to USC therefore the food cake out piping hot and delicious! Beef Noodle Soup and meat pie a must try!

Dishonest Tipping Practice I’ve been to this northern café in Beverly Hills before with my white husband and had a pleasant experience, so I decided to take my parents visiting from Beijing. Unfortunately, this time was very different. The waiter didn’t greet us or offer any conversation. We didn’t need his help for the self-service water, but he poured it for us anyway and then walked away. At other northern-style cafes, tipping isn’t expected since it’s mostly self-serve. Here, you scan a QR code to order, pack your own food, and check out at the counter. When it was time to pay, I noticed the waiter had already selected a tip for me without my consent. The only words he spoke were asking me to swipe, and when I questioned why the tip was already included, he seemed irritated and just told me to sign. I didn’t want to make a scene in front of my parents, but this felt like tip fraud. Also the food tasted not great, you can see the dumplings were broken. I’d appreciate a response from the owner about whether this is standard practice and a partial refund of my tip. If it is, it’s even more concerning. Update: the owner simply would like to deny other than checking the camera. I have uploaded My receipt picture already and they chose to deny. Read previous reviews pls this happened more than once

The Zha Zhang noodles are honestly my favorite thing on the menu... they're very fresh and mildly sweet and salty. I will have to say that everything on the menu is pretty exceptional. The beef roll, the dumplings, all of the protein entrees (yes... there is Orange Chicken... and yes it is very good). Generally Northern Cafe is one of my delivery favorites to Uber Eats/Doordash, but I've recently found out how much more affordable it is to dine in, and this location has plenty of seating, parking and friendly service. I will be back soon.

The rice cakes needed more flavor and sauce. String beans were really good! Street parking

The food is actually amazing and at first I thought why the price is a bit expensive but now I realize that the portions are pretty big. I would definitely recommend trying this place out

Authentic Chinese food in LA. The interior is clean and modern. Service is very fast. Every dish was delicious. Overall had a great meal here! Beef cumin lamb: 10/10 Lamb meat was juicy and tender. The grilled onions were my favorite. So flavorful, can really taste all the spices. Pork xiao long bao: 9/10 Filled with warm pork soup, great with vinegar and chili oil. The shape is pointier than usual like a Hershey's kiss lol. Beef rolls: 9/10 Amazing! The onion pancake is flaky with a toasted crunch. The beef is soft and brushed with a sweet and salty hoisin sauce.

I've given Northern Cafe several tries by now, ordering something different each time, and it's never been great. All their dumplings are too watery inside. The mapu tofu - a favorite of mine at other restaurants - had an ingredient that not only had an odd taste, but gave my mouth an allergic reaction. (I second whoever mentioned the dish soap taste!) The other items I've tried are simply bland, with the most enjoyable thing being simple steamed vegetables like the bok choy. Even their rice is dried out! I used to settle for Northern Cafe as a budget option, but their prices have now gone up to a point where they're no cheaper than other options in the area.

Even though they were out of the cucumber salad, the food was great. One of the best dim sum dishes was the wagyu beef; Very tasty. And the chicken noodle soup was fantastic. A must for everyone.

Monday afternoon Late lunch We walked from the hospital but there looks to be plenty of parking nearby Maybe 10-12 tables with 3 groups already eating Quick and efficient service Drinks & ordering was great Food was great too: XLB were good but not DTF good unfortunately Beef noodle soup was good too The best dish was actually the green beans and I typically hate vegetables! If I go back it'll just be XLB and those green beans (cannot believe I wrote that)...

So today is my 5th day in a row eating at Northern Cafe. On my 1st visit I simply came in because of its location. It is like 100 steps from the hotel I'm staying. FOOD: On my second visit I truly came back because the food is DELICIOUS. Everything I have tried thus-far has a distinct natural flavor. Everything is fresh, with unique blends of aromatic herbs. SERVICE: OMG I looooove the servers! I've had the pleasure of interacting with 3 different young men, all kindhearted, super respectful and FUN! If you are in the area PLEASE come visit this restaurant. The dumplings are beyond delicious! TRUTH BE TOLD everything is AMAZING! I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW

Delicious one of my go tos for a cheat meal. The green beans are to die for. Really good service

First time trying this place with an online order. When picking up the order, they could not find it. They said it was lost... Immediately I was panicking. The order was rather large, it was placed in advanced, and it was already paid. Eventually after a few swipes on their tablet they found the order. They told me not to order online and just call it in next time. Ok... your website says they take online orders, so is your system not connected? Initially not the best experience. Food wise it was ok. I ordered Shanghai noodles with chicken. Portion wise, it was not a lot of food and the chicken was really dry. I was hoping they would use leg meat for the noodles, but they used the breast meat, which usefully dries out when stir fried. Probably won't be going back to this location as the prices here are outrageously more expensive. The staff straight out told me to call in the order to save money because online orders are marked up by at least 18%.

Recently visiting this place again, I'm a little disappointed, as they seemed to have really skimmed down the menu. Of courses prices went up as it did everywhere but it was a bit steep. The cold appetizers were my favorite part and f the menu but they got rid of it :( and while the boiled dumplings were tasty, they were broken and watery which means they were not cooked well. The eggplant was good and I think the beef noodles are popular dishes here, but overall mediocre.

This place was fairly busy when we stopped by for dinner. Most of their ordered online, but despite that we got our food fairly quick. I had their orange chicken ( totally to die for) Chrispy on the outside but soft on the Inside, the sause is homemade and has a pinch of salty and sweetness to it. Their dumplings are fresh to order. Their chicken was great but I probably would've preferred the Chicken slightly cooked more. Chicken wings: lemon pepper is the way to go. Totally an upgrade to wing stop.

Northern Cafe is a favorite dinner spot for my friend and me when we're in the area and craving Asian food. The menu is diverse with vegetarian dishes and meat dishes, which worked out well for my vegetarian friend. We often order a couple of entrees to share and a side dish to enjoy separately. Mapo Tofu (4/5)- Delicious silken tofu cubes in a tasty sauce. The entree comes with a bowl of rice. I do wish that the dish was spicier- heat and numbing. Sauteed Green Beans (5/5)- If you've never had Chinese sauteed green beans, you definitely need to try it. The green beans are garlicky and crisp. This entree also comes with a bowl of rice. Scallion Pancakes (3/5)- The pancake was pan-fried well, but this appetizer was nothing special. Shrimp Wontons in Spicy Sauce (4/5)- I love the plating and the spicy sauce these wontons come in. Each order comes with 6 wontons. There used to be a limited number of parking spaces available in the private parking lot across the street, but the most recent time I came here the lot was closed. The only option for parking is paid street parking. Overall, Northern Cafe offers delicious dishes. Note: If you're looking to order Northern Cafe for takeout, I would recommend calling the restaurant and picking it up yourself. All the third-party apps add $1-3 dollars to every dish.

I come here often, but not as often as I should. They always have great food and the interior is always clean and the service is quick. I would recommend coming here and dining, instead of ordering delivery with 3rd parties, due to your food getting soggy or cold where you have to re-heat. I've learned the hard way!

Killer pork soup dumplings and the speed of food on point! Try the beef rolls as well!

Wow.....would you like some food with your salt?? I've ordered from this place many times but today will certainly be my last. Also $50 Uber eat delivery for one order of noodles and one order of wontons. Not worth it!

Terrible service, the cashier was super inattentive, the cooks were singing loudly, I ordered a wonton soup to eat in the lounge and they brought me to pick up. I have a medical appointment and I had to eat before, I paid $15 and they served me less than what was indicated. food without salt. and I had to stop to ask for all the salt that they didn't bring me and the sauces that I had to grab from another table. He tells me that this area is closed but he saw me sitting before he brought my order and he didn't say anything to me. TERRIBLE SERVICE. The waiter cashier even took the napkins, seeing that I'm going to eat here. terrible customer service

I'm a bit surprised it took me almost five years in LA to try this LA fast casual staple. I was impressed! The pancake scallions are to die for, and the main dishes kill it, too. The service at the Beverly Hills location is excellent.

Ordered the crispy chicken to go... it's 80% just balls of fried batter. We can barley find any chicken. Total rip off. Sad because I use to like this place... for the dumplings.

I feel this happened to be one of those times where based on my ethnicity, I was denied the ability to eat inside the restaurant. Yes my order was to-go but once I got there and saw that there was numerous of empty tables, I asked the handler if I could eat my food there instead. The handler, of Asian ethnicity and probably the manager, said no. Considering the amount of traffic I had to face before getting to my destination and that THERE WAS plenty of empty tables I decided I wanted to eat at the restaurant instead. I was very hungry but he said no! His employees looked at him baffled when they heard him say no! I waited for a moment because I thought he misunderstood my question and then asked again and his response was still no. I was in such disbelief and confused as to why I couldn't eat there. Who's table was I going to take ? The line of ghosts there?

I usually love this place for lunch but today they told me pan fried dumplings would take 30 minutes to make which is absurd for lunch and I said I'd been coming here for years but they could only make boiled dumplings in 10 minutes. Pan fried take 30 minutes.

So good. Nice prompt service without any fuss. Food is really good and fresh. Really love the beef roll, spicy dumplings, and soup dumplings. Quick and easy, clean interior, fair prices.

I got $85 worth of food from here via Uber eats. I can seriously say it was one of the worst tasting meals I've had. Extremely bland and the wontons are completely different from advertised. I'm actually astonished they can get away with charging the prices they do. Better + cheaper food at Panda Express which isn't saying too much.

We stopped to have lunch here and boy are we glad we did! The food here is outstanding! The dumplings are delicious they are steamed but yet fried on one side making them the best of both worlds! We also had a roll the was so flavorful! And the water and soda cups are stainless steal making the drinks so cold . And our server was so nice and attentive and recommended certain items on the menu. All in all a great place to have a meal! Thumbs up!

Some of the best soup dumplings and super authentic cuisine. Loved the spicy food and noodles

Was walking around the Beverly Grove area when I stumbled upon the Northern Cafe. Shout-out to the appealing food photos on their windows for reeling me in. The portion size was great for the beef noodle soup, enough for two people to share. The beef was also very tender! The beef rolls were amazing. Loved the crispy, flaky crust exterior. Noticed a lot of people utilizing the food delivery service for this place while I was dining in. And...I now will also be one of those people ordering take out from this place regularly.

Northern Cafe Beverly is finally open for dining! The best for Northern Style Dumplings, DanDan Noodles and friendly staff. I highly recommend Pork Wonton Soup with chili oil especially in the cold months. Thank God this business stayed open when others folded up when the pandemic started last year.

Northern cafe is a great place for casual eating! Our crispy chicken was definitely the highlight! Pork dumplings were delicious; the dough is a bit thick for my taste. The scallion pancake and the chicken noodle soup was also good, but nothing special.

Food is pretty good here. EXCEPT... the fried rice. Had the shrimp fried rice. Had shrimp in it. Rice wasn't really fried. Sprinkled with garlic powder and green onions or something. Have some pride Northern cafe. How can you screw up fried rice?!?!

Cute little cafe I found on Yelp when feeling like it was close to dinner time. That and I feel like I need to know of more good Chinese in the area, headed over to Northern Cafe, which is just north of the Beverly Connection on Beverly Blvd. Parking is scarce -- however, there's street parking which is free after 8pm. Northern Cafe has a very clean and modern decor which I really like. Staff was patient as we made our dinner decisions which had to include the 8-pc pork dumplings, orange chicken and noodles. Guests order and pay at the counter and find their own seating with a number. The food came very quickly and staff will check to make sure everything is okay during the meal. I have to say, the prices are reasonable and the food is so good! I hardly had any leftovers. I really feel like Northern Cafe is a hidden gem as I've never heard of it by mouth or on any eater-type lists so I'm glad to know of it. Please check it out if you're in the area!

My friends and I came here after a long evening of dancing and we were not let down! We entered into the restaurant and there was only one table with people. No problem. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant was spacious and everything was clean. We were allowed to seat ourselves and get our own menus. I was excited that we chose this place because they sold dumplings!! I ordered the shrimp, egg and chive dumplings (D12) and the scallion pancake. Everything came to our table hot and fresh and that made me happy. The dumplings were good but not exceptional. The highlight of my eating experience though were paring my dumplings with the sauces they had. The dumplings came with a "dumpling sauce" which was good and on the table they had a house chili sauce which was my favorite paring and another chili sauce. I really enjoyed how well the dumplings and the scallion pancake went well with the house sauce! The service was pretty much nonexistent outside me standing at the register and paying for my food... If you're in the Beverly Hills area and looking for Chinese dumplings, this is your place.

Stopped in Northern Cafe today and I was very pleased with the food and the service. Rain was our waiter and he was the nicest most attentive waiter throughout our meal. He made excellent recommendations and always checked back to make sure that we were enjoying our meal. The pan fried shrimp dumplings were delicious and quite filling. I also got the egg rolls and they were nice, crispy and flavorful. My friend got the chicken wings and they were crispy and nicely seasoned with the lemon pepper. Prices are very good given the amount of food that you get and I will be sure to go back and try more items soon. Thanks Rain for being the best waiter ever!

I have enjoyed for more than a few years eating at Northern cafe. But the last 2 times in a row I've arrived at the restaurant when the paper sign on the door says they are open until 9 pm & the first time I arrived 43 minutes before 9pm & the last time 40 minutes before 9pm. Each time the man in the front says sorry we are closed. To top it off he says that they are closed w/ a nervous laugh which didn't help matters. But we let it go & left. Then 2-3 weeks later we decided to try again only to have the same man tell us they were closed again... I find this so wrong to run a restaurant like this. I will NEVER COME BACK TO NORTHERN CAFE again. It's a terrible way to run a restaurant & there are other places who welcome people not turn them away. LY

The dumplings, mapo tofu and vegetables are solid. Its a bit pricey but given the area its understanable. Service is friendly and prompt and it was perfect for a weekend dinner - wasn't too crowded. In particular, we loved their tofu since its usually quite oily and the tofu chunks quite small, but their rendition kept the oil low and the tofu was more substantial and less likely to break into tiny shards. The spicy dumplings were the star of the show - the wrapper was perfectly thin and the meat was well seasoned inside and not too fatty.

This is actually a very good place for some delicious Taiwanese food. I can't say it will compare to a somewhere in the SGV, but it quite good. I was recently here for dinner with a buddy and we ordered 4 items to share. We had the Pork Dumplings, Orange Chicken, Shanghai Fried Noodles, and Fried Chicken. I enjoyed everything, but my absolute favorite were the dumplings. Just a lot of flavor in these dumplings and they're full of juice. Be careful, as they can burst and drip all over you. The Orange Chicken was pretty standard. Not sure I'd order it again. Shanghai Fried Noodles are worth ordering. I'd skip on the fried chicken wings. There are a lot of different choices on the menu. I'd come back and order different items to try. The restaurant is quite spacious and very clean. I think they could have better ventilation though. I left the restaurant with my clothes smelling like all sorts of Chinese food. I don't like the set up of ordering at the counter and paying before you get the food. I never feel right about tipping either. Technically, they haven't done anything yet.

I am amazed that there are not more reviews of how much Northern Cafe has raised their prices in the last couple of years. Stumbled upon an old menu and everything has pretty much doubled in price. I get covid + inflation but the prices now are just unreasonably high for what the restaurant is offering, which is fast takeout Chinese food, even for the LA market. For example, 10 steamed dumplings on doordash is $16.99. So $1.50 for each dumpling??? You can get 10 dumplings for $3 in SGV. Sigh, it's sad because I love ordering from this place, but the prices are just not justifiable and screams greedy owners/management.

Let's start with the pork dumplings. I don't think I have a choice but to compare this to Don Tai Fung. The pork itself was delicious. Flavor was up to park of not better. I got used to having quite a bunch of soup pouring out the dumpling when you pierce it open like the ones from DTF. The dumpling wrapper they've used are thicker than what I've usually had, but it helps filling you up faster than usual. Dan Dan noodles were different. It was good. I wanted a little more flavor, but I think that's how it's supposed to be. I think I just wanted more sauce for it actually. Maybe have the option to add meat. Braised eggplant was good too. I was expecting more of a garlic taste but then I think it would've been a pointless eggplant dish. I'm not an eggplant person but I wanted to try something different and the dish didn't disappoint. You should try it. Overall, I think I should've ordered more meat to satisfy my taste buds. At the same time, I wasn't disappointed. I do want to add, it was our first there. I didn't exactly know how their restaurant worked. They gave us a menu and told us to sit anywhere. I thought they were going to come and get their order. Turns out, it's like a self serve. You go to the cashier and give them your order. You get your own plates, utensils, water. I wish I knew that from the beginning so I didn't have to keep getting up from my seat.

A rare find of Taiwanese/Chinese dim sum outside of the San Gabriel Valley that delighted our palates during our stay in Los Angeles. We were driving along Beverly Boulevard when we noticed this cafe one day and after a quick check in Yelp, we returned for a light dinner. This location is one of 3 Northern Cafés found in Los Angeles. From previous reviews, I noted that this cafe has its own private parking lot. From Beverly Blvd, we made a quick turn on to North Alfred Street and found a parking space in their private lot. Yay! No worries about having to be aware of parking by permit only, valet or carrying coins to insert into those street meters. We entered and wondered if we needed to place our order at the counter then find a seat but, we were greeted and guided to a booth. The young woman who seated us, brought us menus and water. We asked about ordering beer that we saw on their menu board but were told that the alcoholic beverages were unavailable due to licensing issues. With hope, they'll have their license will be re-instated. Our server explained the menu to us and even showed us the selection of cold appetizers in their deli case. We made the decision to get 3 items for $8.50. The appetizers that we chose were the spicy lotus root, spicy cucumber and wood ear mushrooms. Each appetizer had a different level of spiciness, texture (crunchiness) and flavor. We were most interested in their hand crafted dumplings which the menu indicated the choices of either boiled or pan fried. The menu also featured noodles, fried rice, small plates and entrées. FOOD: -Fish & Chive Dumplings (10), Boiled: I insisted upon ordering these dumplings to "test" the delicate flavors of fish and chives even though my carnivore relatives seemed indifferent towards it. The fish and chive combination is a traditional Chinese flavor reminiscent of the classic steamed fish dish. Well, they were all pleasantly surprised and pleased with the flavor and texture of this dumpling. $8.50 -Lamb Dumplings (10), Pan fried: Plump with chopped lamb, not ground, and flavored with ginger, Szechuan peppers (?), white pepper, soy sauce, Chinese wine and I think sesame seed oil, these dumplings were golden browned and lightly crisped on their bottoms and steamed up to its seams. There wasn't the typical gaminess so I'm going to assume that it was fresh lamb not mutton. The chopped texture of the filling was a great mouthfeel. $9.00 -House Special Cumin Lamb: Thinly sliced, almost shaved, lamb was sautéed with cumin, onion, cilantro and chilies. This dish begged for a cold beer complement but cups of hot tea just had to do. My taste buds aren't as "tough" as my husband's or BIL's so I just took small tastes. This dish was nicely balanced with cumin and chilies. $12.50 -Shanghai Noodles: Generously portioned to share, these thicker noodles (almost like Japanese udon) were flavored with shredded chicken, cabbage and bean sprouts. It was sauced with Northern Café's housemade Lao Gan Ma sauce, which contains chilis, black beans and peanuts. So, if you're allergic to peanuts, please be aware. These stir-fried noodles were tasty and had good contrasting textures. $8.50 -Peking Meat Pie: Pan fried, flaky and crisp with juicy flavorful pork filling. This pie was reminiscent of the Taiwanese beef roll or scallion cake. Very enjoyable with its textural contrasts. 5pcs/$6.75 -Chonqquing Crispy Chicken: Crispy boneless fried chicken pieces were tumbled in a light sauce of jalapeño peppers, chili pepper powder and onions. After trying a few pieces, my mouth was feeling the burn so I stopped but will admit that this chicken was flavorful. My BIL and husband both chowed down on this spicy and well-flavored dish. It was impressive that the fried dish wasn't greasy or oily. $10.25 Our first visit here was successful although they lost their alcohol license and are in the midst of renewal. This is our second visit to this location of Northern Café but they still haven't gotten their license. They have other branches about Los Angeles which we may try soon as those others have liquor licenses.

Came here for lunch at around 11:30AM. Place was almost empty. The restaurant has kind of an industrial feel and looks clean and modern. You order and pay at the counter and staff brings you your good. I ordered soup dumpling (xiao long bao), wonton in chili oil, and beef noodle soup. The food came fairly quickly. The beef noodle soup has great flavor. The noodle has some bite to it - just like how I like it. The wontons were so so. It is more like dumplings than wontons. The wrapper was a bit thick for my liking, so you can't taste the sauce as much. The soup dumplings though, were amazing, probably one of the best ones I have had in LA, or anywhere really. The wrapper was very thin, and each dumpling had plenty of soup inside, and the filling was very very tasty. The price was reasonable for how great the location is. It also has its own parking lot, which was a plus for the area as well. I will definitely be back.

The Mapo tofu tasted like there was dish soap in it and tasted like modified sweet-and-sour sauce. The eggrolls are frozen eggrolls you can get at the grocery. I wish there was a refund option because I was highly disappointed

Little longer wait than expected but the food made it worth while. Some of the best wanton shrimp that I have ever had. Very tasty and would dine again.

Great pricing and solid authenticity at Northern! You order at the cashier, and the food is brought out to you. We opted for a side dish of lotus root and garlic cucumbers, soup dumplings, shrimp/pork/egg dumplings, cumin lamb. Unfortunately, the soup dumplings were a little lacking, limited soup, and some skins broke before we were able to get them onto our chopsticks. Regular boiled dumplings were amazing!!!!!!! The egg isn't powerful at all, I wouldn't have known they were in there unless I was told otherwise. Full of flavor, with a medium thick skin. You didn't need any sauce for the dumplings. Side dishes were solid, full of flavors of chili oil and sesame oil. Freshly made, too! Cumin lamb was excellent--lots of spice, not spicy, but spice. Dish came with a side of rice, super fluffy and warm. We were able to try our friends dishes too--loved the duck pancake and the scallion pancake.

Dumpling and beef noodle soup were amazing, but orange chicken was not. Their service was good, but they wanted to close the restaurant exactly at 9 even though we got our food 15 minutes before.

Good food, good serving size, a bit costly but it's probably due to inflation. I would buy food from them again, and again, and again.

Man this was so good! Got Dan Dan Noodles, Mapo Tofu, and Egg Rolls. All of the food was fresh and sooo satisfying. Portion size was a great value for the price. I think it could be a little spicier, but that's my personal taste. I will order again this was awesome

Came here when I was feeling a little under the weather and I absolutely love dan dan noodles with peanut sauce. The house noodle soup was little bland but good for the throat or on a cold day.

I love the guy who took our order - he was SO nice. My friend and I had gone in there on Thanksgiving day to get a snack. We ordered the meat pies and some potstickers. I also found out at the same time that a friend of mine who lives close by tested positive for COVID so I ordered a beef noodle soup and dumplings for him so I could drop it off. The meat pies and potstickers were so good, it was hard for us to stop eating it, but we didn't want to ruin our Thanksgiving meal. We ended up snacking on more of it as a Thanksgiving meal appetizer. My friend that we dropped food off to LOVED the juicy pork dumplings and the noodle soup. I ended up ordering contactless delivery from Northern Cafe to some other friends that also tested positive for COVID and they also gave rave reviews about the food. I'm looking forward to having this again when I'm in the area!

My wife and I had take out from here while down at Cedars. We called the restaurant because we were not sure of what we wanted. The gentleman walked us through the menu and was very helpful... Also, they have beer by the bottle to go...way good option. The food was GREAT and portions were huge... Wife loved the chicken soup... the dumplings were great... Definitely recommend this to anyone wanting some really good Chinese food. My only regret is I did not get any pictures of all the food because we were starving from a long day....
