"Visited today again as it's always a great place to eat. Water is excellent as well with no chlorine taste. They were short on the chowmein in the buffet and we waited for them to refill the tray. They surprised us with a platter of chowmein for our table and we were welcomed to take home the remainder of the huge tray of chowmein for our inconvenience. It's not about never making mistakes, mistakes are inevitable- it's about how our mistakes are resolved. Great job Northern Lights Chinese Cuisine!"

"Food was delicious and the portion sizes were generous! The house special chow mein was especially good. Delivery took a while (1.5hr) but they gave us an accurate estimate when we ordered, so we can’t blame them for being busy!"
