" I came here looking for good Chinese food and was pleasantly surprised by the quality! The dumplings were super fresh and tasty. I will say, the service was friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. I think it would be great if they expanded their seating area; it gets packed quickly. Overall, still a great spot for takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had another great experience at Northern Cafe! I went with a group and everyone enjoyed their meals. The dumplings were fresh and tasted authentic. I also loved the spicy dipping sauce! A bit crowded, but that just shows how popular the place is. If you're looking for good dumplings, you have to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Northern Cafe enough! Every time I go, the dumplings are consistently delicious, and the staff is super friendly. It’s the perfect place for a cozy meal. I particularly love the pork and shrimp dumplings. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Northern Cafe based on a friend's recommendation and it was fantastic! The dumplings were really delicious and tasted like they were made from scratch. The staff was welcoming and the service was quick. I do wish they would consider expanding their dining area since it feels a bit cramped when busy. But overall, I'm impressed and will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having moved to the area recently, I wanted to explore local eateries and Northern Cafe has become a regular spot for me. The dumplings are the highlight—plump, juicy, and very satisfying. The pork and chive dumplings are my go-to. The only downside was that I tried to go for dine-in but found out it was takeout only. I really hope they reopen for dine-in soon! " (*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*)
