Northern Cafe offers pretty decent Chinese food, with refreshing cucumber in the Dan Dan noodles and delicious pork soup dumplings. The atmosphere is relaxed and clean, perfect for a sit-down dining experience. The service is friendly and efficient, with great vegetarian options like eggplant with garlic sauce. Despite being a bit expensive, it's considered cheap for the area. Some standout dishes include the beef noodle soup, which is now served with chunks of beef in the classic style, and the must-try green beans. The restaurant is known for its authentic Taiwanese-style noodles and Chinese dumplings, including Solongpo. The handmade noodles are fresh and well-prepared, and the pork dumplings are juicy with a satisfying texture. The grilled dumplings are thick, sticky, and flavorful, while the beef roll, served with sweet sauce, is a large, tasty appetizer that can almost serve as a main dish. The beef noodle soup has improved and now features hearty chunks of beef, making it more authentic. The mildly spicy dan danmien is a favorite, with a soft, light, and spicy flavor topped with cucumber slices for freshness. The restaurant also offers other dishes like Jjajangmien with a less intense flavor and a light chicken noodle soup, though the seasoning can be strong. Overall, Northern Cafe provides a wide menu with good value and taste, especially for those seeking authentic Chinese and Taiwanese dishes in the area.
