Northern pasta in Houston

You have to try the chili oil noodles! Noodles are made fresh in-house, the flavor is so addicting! I had the pork and cabbage dumplings, this dish was ok, will try another filling on the next trip.

Went here today before doing grocery shopping. The food was decent, with large portions. We each had green onion pancakes and dumplings.I also had the beef noodle, although I missed the oil noodles on the menu. The noodles were tasty, although I would have liked more beef in the bowl.Complaints are, the service was slow although it was mid-day, and the server sent my wife's dumplings to the wrong table, so we had to wait extra time for hers. Hence their losing one star on my review.Other then that, we enjoyed our lunch. One last note. You place and pay for your order at the counter and then they bring it out when it's ready. The server does NOT take your order.Almost like a McDonald's. But not quite.Next time I'll give the oil noodles a shot.

I'll be quick and blunt. BEWARE. Food is great tasting, but service is lacking enormously. I have never said "WTF" about service until I got here. LET ME BE CLEAR, I do NOT have high expectations for good customer service here in Chinatown, but my experience at Northern Pasta really scrapes the bottom of the barrel. I came with a group of 6 people, we all ordered at the counter roughly at the same time. Yet some of our party members finished their meal and left before others got their food. There is literally 1 worker in the kitchen and 1 register person to a restaurant that seats 30+ people. Thats just a disaster waiting to happen. When the register person had time to move out noodles to the patrons she literally asked in chinese, " Whose are these?". SERIOUSLY WTF. (I am chinese as well and can understand the language) Clearly, this is a case of only making good food with zero emphasis on...
