" Trying Northern Cafe for the first time was an enjoyable experience. The dumplings are fantastic and offer a real taste of Northern Chinese cuisine. I especially appreciated that they have takeout options. I can’t wait to return and explore more items on their menu! Definitely a place to recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped in for lunch after reading glowing reviews and was not disappointed. The dumplings were delicious, and the staff was very accommodating. I tried the shrimp dumplings and found them delightfully fresh. While it’s a bit cramped inside for dining, the great food makes up for that. I’d definitely suggest getting it to-go if you aren’t in a hurry! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had set high expectations based on the reviews, and while the food was good, I didn't find it to be exceptional. The dumplings were tasty but not the best I've had. The service was friendly, though I experienced a longer wait. It's a solid option for Chinese food but may not be my first choice in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dumplings here are simply out of this world! I love the variety they offer and how they're made fresh. You absolutely need to try the crab dumplings—they're filled with flavor and worth every penny. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a place! Our family discovered Northern Cafe a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. The portions are generous, and the authenticity of the dishes is evident in every bite. The lamb dumplings have become our favorite, and their orange chicken is a delightful balance of crispy and savory. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home, which is a huge plus. We always look forward to our visits here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't blown away, but the food was decent. The dumplings were nice but I’ve had better elsewhere, to be honest. The ambiance was fine but not remarkable and the service could improve. It's okay for a quick meal, but I don’t think it will be my go-to Chinese spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Northern Cafe after hearing so much buzz about their dumplings. While the food was delicious, I was disappointed by the limited dine-in service—they were only offering takeout during my visit. I hope they bring back the dine-in option soon because the atmosphere is really nice. The beef noodle soup was hearty, but I did find the portions a bit smaller than expected. Still, I'd probably come back for the dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)
