Northern Kitchen

Most dishes I tried are well executed and authentic and many cannot be found anywhere else in the Twin Cities. I enjoyed everything I ordered. It can be hard to figure out what's what from the menu. The owner/server(s) were really kind to me. They don’t check in that often but I prefer to eat in peace so I do appreciate that. I felt like I could ask anytime if anything is needed.

This is one of those low key hidden gem restaurants that serve authentic food without a doubt, because it's not only difficult to locate, but also relatively exclusive in terms of its clientele. I enjoyed everything I have had here so far and definitely appreciated the authentic aspect of the food they have. The only improvement I could suggest was the taste of a lot of their dishes, as flavors tended to be on the mild side. It doesn't mean their food is any less authentic, though, and I would recommend all that are looking for authentic Chinese food to visit here. Individually, I ordered dishes that I would normally order in Chinese restaurants, so while I am not sure if there's anything I can necessarily recommend yet, I will say that I thought every dish I have had were above average i

This is my favorite authentic chinese restaurant in the area. Especially known for their szechuan food / dry pot! Everything is so good, and there are many vegetarian options too that are top notch (mapo tofu, dry pot cauliflower - my favorite, eggplant in garlic sauce, green beans w garlic). Warning: their "crispy glazed shrimp" and "dry pot seafood" are served as unpeeled shrimp. So if you're not used to eat cooked shrimp w/ shell or too lazy to peel, I would avoid these dishes! Everything else are bangers! Hidden gem, so hard to find and usually not busy. Ambience is very peaceful and relaxing (actually it's connected to a great asian style spa!). Well worth a visit!

We really enjoyed our food here, so much so we went twice in a week! The food is delicious and flavorful. I think this is the best Chinese food I have had in the metro. I like the interior and adore the health spa. We will be returning!! They had a nice variety on the menu, a mix of familiar and new to me. Very nice portion sizes. We had a nut allergy at the table and had no issues

UPDATED: the food here is still good and the price is getting back to normal! Update-1: the restaurant has raised their prices by around $2 per dish. I have to downgrade the rating not just because of the pricing, but also because the quality of their dishes has been going south. Like the grilled fish, the size of fish was getting smaller and smaller whenever we ordered that! The business owner needs to improve it before getting no return customers! We went with friends and the foods are pretty delicious. The spicy food can be really 🌶️ New dish:东北大拉皮
