Northern Cafe (Temple City)

My friend ordered takeout online and when she arrived 30min later, it was ready for pickup! We got beef noodle soup, szechuan beef&tripe, and the pork pancake. All were delicious! The pork pancake was my favorite. Just a tip, don’t order the pork pancake to go because it gets soggy. It probably tastes best eating it at the restaurant. I love all of Northern Cafe’s noodles and dumplings and xialongbao ????????

What an amazing place to eat during pandemic. Out door dining with plenty of seating. High quality fresh meat and make your own sauce. We ordered #3 combo large + other dishes, the prime short rib is so juicy it melts in the mouth. The owner is very friendly, shares with us his passion to find the best quality product to serve customers. This place recently just open the Yakiniku outdoor seating, so if your in the area, definitely stop by with a few friends to enjoy as the portion is very generous.

Have been craving for Northern Chinese food today and decided to order take-out from my favorite go to northern Chinese food restaurant. Northern Cafe has all the right stuff to satisfy my craving. They are famous for their hand made noodle varieties. I particularly like their house special fry noodles with mama’s chili sauce and hand cut noodle. Another of my favorite dish is their beef pan cake roll. Unlike pre-pandemic food, Today’s beef tendon was tough and hard to bite on. Normally this dish is full of flavor with tender and tasty marinated beef tendons. The third dish we ordered today was their soy been with pickled veges and bean curb skin. This is a famous shanghai food and this restaurant has done it right. Besides these three dishes mentioned, Northern Cafe has a very comprehensive northern Chinese food menu. I highly recommend their Jiaozi ( dumpling) and pot stickers. I have to said they are the best in the San Gabriel Valley. The sour cabbage fish soup is another dish wort
