Northern Cafe

The English name of this restaurant is misleading and the Chinese subtitle is the actually what they served. It’s a cheap place to get some noodles (4-5 different sizes based on its cross section) and cold dishes. To be honest, the beef on the Lanzhou Beef Noodles is very generous. The soup base is okay and surprisingly they serve pork noodles.

Lanzhou pulled noodle had good clear soup, yummy beef, but the regular noodle was thicker thank we expected. The lamb skews had great flavor but some fatty pieces were very chewy.

I went there twice. The first time I went there not long after it opened. It was pretty good. I went there again a few days ago. I can’t say enough about it. The noodles are so hard. Please avoid the braised food. I feel like there won’t be a third time.

Unexpectedly, the business was so good that we lured out the dogs that were not locked up in the courtyard.

After eating it once, I felt that the noodles were not chewy at all and the soup was not as good as instant noodle soup. There is very little meat.

The place is clean, and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Noodles with Soy Bean, Beef Roll, Pork Wontons with Chili Oil, and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup to-go. While most of the dishes met my expectations, the Beef Roll was at room temperature, and the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was disappointing. It was overly salty and, despite the spice, lacked the rich, savory flavor I've had at other restaurants. On the plus side, the to-go box packaging was pretty good. However, I weigh the food quality more heavily in my rating, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. Overall, it was an OK experience, but I won't be ordering any soup-based noodles from this place.
