This little place is ran by what seems to be a wonderful family. The lady who sat us was extremely friendly, and genuinely seemed to care. The food was very fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. The soup that came with my husband's meal was amazing too, full of cabbage and zucchini. I will definitely eat here again.
Decided to give this place a try for the first time so we ordered a few takeout items for dinner at home. We got the food home and it was just great! Everything just as I ordered on the phone. Everything was still very hot, even the soup and the spice level was exactly as requested. It was such a great experience and the food was awesome. Well definitely be back to dine in next time!
Northern China's Egg Drop Soup is the absolute best! Silky, rich, and perfectly seasoned, it's comfort in a bowl. Their main dishes are fantastic too, but don't miss this classic starter. Great service and authentic flavors make this a top-notch dining experience!
love this place. always friendly and they cook your food fresh per order. mongolian beef, hot peppered pork, and sesame chicken are my favorite. the eggrolls are really good and the crab rangoon.
My husband and I went here on a whim and it did not disappoint! I do not know how this Jewel is so hidden. Northern China Restaurant hands down has the best Chinese food in Anchorage!! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The space is clean and open. The service is wonderful. Prices are average. Our food was brought out to us in a timely manner. Our food was on point! We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Mongolian Beef and Sesame combo, and the Braised Shimp and Szechuan Chicken combo to share and sample multiple dishes. It was filling and delicious with enough food to take home. As I was there I was already texting my people telling them about this great place! Knowing that it's a family owned restaurant makes it that much better.
I used to eat here frequently in the 1980s. Much to my surprise and pleasure Northern China Restaurant is still operating with its classic recipe delights - and it’s just as good. Affordable price points; diverse Chinese-centric menu; attentive staff; clean and comfortable atmosphere.Delicious and well-worth lunch, dinner, or take-out. And the photos don’t do the taste justice. You won’t be disappointed.
