**Food/Pricing** - **Peanuts with Seaweed**: $6.99 This dish was flavorful and well-seasoned. - **Xiao Long Bao (Juicy Pork Dumplings)**: $10.99 for 8 pieces I wish it had the standard 10 pieces, but they were very juicy and delicious! - **Pan Fried Pork Dumplings**: $12.99 I would have preferred these to be crispier, but overall, the flavor was good. - **Stir Fried Sliced Noodle**: $15.99 Fresh and tasty! - **Spicy Beef Noodle Soup**: $13.99 We opted for the standard round noodles and absolutely loved the flavor of this dish! The soup was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender; I couldn't have asked for more. **Service/A...

As for COVID-19 vaccination proof, the restaurant does not currently require it. When I visited to pick up my food after work a few days ago, I inquired about any special offers, but they didn't have any available at that time, and there is no happy hour currently. Additionally, pets are not allowed unless they are service animals. Regarding parking, the lot is shared with other businesses, including a supermarket, so I recommend avoiding weekends, as finding a spot can be quite challenging. The parking spaces themselves are decent in size. Now, for the food: I ordered a green onion pancake, which was served in 8 slices. It was piping hot and perfectly crunchy without being doughy – just...

I had to stop visiting this restaurant because everyone tends to overeat! It's a good problem to have, though, as the food is quite delicious. If you have kids—especially a lot of them—or a large group, you can reserve a room and just relax. They offer hotpot and unlimited noodles, which is fantastic. The food is served quickly, but be sure to order the XLB (soup dumplings) in advance since they take a bit longer to prepare. The service is great too; they usually have three waitstaff to keep everything running smoothly. It would be nice if they had some beers on tap, however! There's ample parking available both in the back and on the street.

Instead, I tried their standard fried rice, which included turkey sausage (possibly pork, but I couldn't tell) and ham cubes. It tasted as though they simply tossed everything into the box with some egg, without any sauce or spices. It barely seemed to have touched a wok, if at all. It was completely flavorless. To make matters worse, they even charged an extra $2.25 to serve it without shrimp! For $12, it felt like a huge waste of money. I could have easily ordered some delicious gourmet food delivered to the auto shop for that price. I would recommend avoiding this place entirely. Weak experience overall. Book a table now

My friend placed an online order for takeout, and when she arrived 30 minutes later, it was ready for pickup! We ordered beef noodle soup, Szechuan beef and tripe, and the pork pancake. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the pork pancake. A quick tip: don’t order the pork pancake to go, as it tends to get soggy. It likely tastes best when enjoyed at the restaurant. I really love all of Northern Cafe's noodles, dumplings, and xiaolongbao!

Found this place that serves sesame green onion bread, which was delicious!!! The other dishes were also tasty. Wasn't expecting the pork hock to be deep fried, but it was meaty and the skin was very crunchy. Not cheap; we paid over $70 with tip for the two of us. Chinese food has gotten to be too expensive!!!

My kids recommended this place so I gave it a try. The place was clean and spacious, the food taste fresh. I can't comment too much about their services because there wasn't a lot to be served. I noticed that they do have 2 VIP rooms, and the minimum is reasonable. I like this restaurant and I will come back.

Good and reasonable priced food. Carry out is very fast.Update: they remodeled the restaurant and made a few karaoke rooms. Sitting areas are now highly limited and the karaoke guests are very loud disruptive. Book a table now

Their juicy pork dumplings, pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings, appetizers and hot pot are pretty good. The young waitress provides good service too.
