North China Restaurant has attentive waitstaff who provide excellent service. The restaurant's cleanliness is commendable. However, the food quality can be inconsistent, with some dishes being flavorful and others lacking taste. Portions are generous, but the prices are on the higher side.
The menu offers a variety of dishes, including orange chicken and Mongolian beef with white rice. The orange chicken and Mongolian beef received positive feedback for their flavor, while the beef in both dishes had an unusual texture.
The honey walnut shrimp was a favorite, with its perfectly fried shrimp and good flavor. However, it could have been sweeter, and some shrimp pieces lacked sufficient sauce. The Mongolian beef was less successful, with unremarkable flavor and overly soft beef.
The house chow mein and appetizer platter were well-received, with the egg rolls and fried shrimp being particularly enjoyable. However, the cheese wontons were average, and a sweet teriyaki sauce would have complemented the fried shrimp.
In conclusion, North China Restaurant offers good food, attentive service, and a clean environment. Prices are steep, but the portion sizes are generous. The dishes can be hit or miss, but the honey walnut shrimp and appetizer platter are recommended. Parking can be challenging, and some may find the prices excessive. Nevertheless, it is considered one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area.
