Inaccurate listing, very little vegan options

The mapo tofu is not vegan, or even vegetarian as the menu lists it. The waitress said it uses oyster sauce. There is no spring roll, only eggrolls. Essentially the only options were appetizers and vegetarian dumplings. They were good but not good enough to warrant a trip here if you're vegan.

Great Dumplings & Rolls

You gotta visit Northern Cafe for their comfort Chinese food right here in DTLA. Operating across from the metro station, it's an easy access spot for dinner and date nights looking for great northern Chinese food.

There were a couple of great plant-based options that my friends and I shared. We tried their Veggie Rolls, Mapo Tofu, and their Veggie Steamed Dumplings. All of which were vegan by nature after we confirmed with the staff. Everything we had was top notch quality, filling, and tasty. I was a big fan of the rolls since I don't see a veggie variant in a lot of Chinese restaurants.

The ambiance and service were all great so I have to give my props to Northern Cafe for giving us a wonderful dining experience.
