Our family (party of 7) had a wonderful dinner at Noriega Cafe this Saturday evening at 6:45pm. Parking was not too challenging and the restaurant was not too crowded. The interior is very clean and not very large- two large round tables and some smaller square tables. We ordered seven dishes- westlake soup, mapo tofu, salt and pepper spareribs, pumpkin with salted egg, fried rice with salted fish, a clay pot tofu dish, chow fun, and some greens with mushrooms. Everything was delicious and flavorful - not too salty (however we did request low sodium). The prices were reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the service by Christine was excellent.

Read moreI finally tried the much-talked-about Pan-Fried Rice Noodle at Noriega Cafe, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Perfectly crisped noodles on top, and the perfect saucy meat-to-noodle ratio underneath. I ordered the savory pork & preserved pickle, but they also offer this dish with chicken or seafood, which I’m definitely coming back for.

The menu is impressively extensive, packed with classic and delicious-sounding Cantonese dishes. As someone always on the hunt for great Cantonese food, I’m thrilled to have found this neighborhood gem. Just go—you...
