Northern Cafe

I’ve been to northern cafe of UCLA & USC location, been a fan for a long time. However, the beef rows supposed to be sauce beef turn out to be…I don’t know what this is called…taste like ham. And cost $14, don’t recommend the beef roll. Saliva chicken is still good tho

3.7?!?!?!?!?!??! Are you kidding me? This place rocks!!!! Noodles are chewy, perfectly cooked, and the broth is perfect!!! My boy's favorite place!!! He generally only eats the noodles but he drinks the soup here! Son approved. Git it!!!!Food: 5/5

Nice place for dumplings and knife-cut noodles soup. Noodle portion is generous, price is reasonable and the noddles are made fresh. I think the noodle soup bowl could use a little more salt and meat. You can see workers from the window at the entrance making fresh noodles. Plenty of parking available; especially the parking lot on northeast corner of Garfield and Garvey. Service is fast. Lots of cold dish appetizers available. Parking: Plenty of parking at the northeast corner Garfield and Garvey.

I love the food here!! From the moment I got seated, the waitress brought me out water. I really appreciated that. I also asked if I could move to the back cause there was a cold draft in front and she helped me carry the menu, waters, etc. I ordered the chive pancake, all beef noodle soup, and pork & leek fried dumplings. All were delicious!!! The chive pancake was my favorite! They have TVs in here to keep you entertained if your family doesn’t talk. They stay open until midnight! Prices are pretty average/reasonable. I love how fresh & delicious everything tastes!!! Vegetarian options: The chive dishes are so yummy Parking: Plenty of spots Kid-friendliness: Some loud/shouting kids were there and they weren’t being told to quiet down. So that is pretty kid friendly to me.

I almost didn’t go in after seeing the review, but im so glad I did!! I ordered sour&spicy noodles with pork intestine. The soup tasted great, the intestine was fresh. Big portion with good price. Great service and nice decorations. Nothing to complain really! I didn’t try anything else so wouldn’t comment on that, but if you just want good soups and pork then don’t hesitate to visit.

Food selection is good and the portion sizes are great. I driving in this area and was hungry so I stopped in to get a bite and I'm glad I did. Seating was easy and quick. I was able to order a few dishes from the menu but I think I ordered too much but the food is excellent. The taste of each dish was perfect, the balance of all blended ingredients was spot on. I have no complaints at all. I got cold flat noodle - 4/5 Juicy pork dumplings - 3/5 - xiaolin bao Chicken knife cut noodles - 4/5 Beef noodle soup - 5/5 Sweet spare ribs - 5/5

Never been here in person, but my family orders from them a lot. Usually our goto dish is the cold noodles. The takeouts are ok, but I would imagine it would been better if dine in person.

Clean and modern with 4 large televisions. You are able to watch them hand make their noodles at the front of the restaurant or even while walking by. Service was a bit slow only having two servers who also have to work and mandate as cashier hopefully they will hire more personnel?. A yelp review will get you a free coke which I hope to redeem at my next visit. I really enjoyed the beef rolls. The other dishes weren't bad, but I've had better. Great place to stop by for a late night meal just don't expect it to quickly arrive at the table.

Soup is too salty, made me so thirsty after the meal. Also, I ordered lamb inners with flat Noodles. So disappointed. Chopped in small pieces and over cooked.Food: 3/5

Came here to try based off reviews and recommendations. The restaurant is extremely clean and bright inside, very loud and busy. The servers are extremely Chinese, meaning quick/will likely rush u/ be rude. I got the hot and sour premium beef noodle soup. It came out super quick, very aesthetically pretty. The portion size a bit small for around 15 bucks, the noodles weren’t as chewy as expected. They pride themselves with hand made noodles, but it tasted like regular factory made. The flavors of the soup was okay, the beef had good portions and was fatty/juicy~
