Northern Lights Chinese Cuisine - Cold Lake, Alberta

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!

Save yourself some money and go somewhere actually ANYWHERE else then here. Don't expect your food to be hot- got lukewarm almost cold sweet and sour pork, and schewan beef. The chicken balls were OK. The schewan beef was pretty much 3/4 onions with a couple pieces of peppers and little bit of meat in some brown runny juice. The sweet and sour pork wasn't breaded- just some chunks of cut of pork with some overly red flavorless sweet and sour sauce. Also very expensive for what we got , $53 for 3 low quality containers of food. I could have went to Sobeys and got more and better Chinese out of the freezer for less then the $53 we paid.

The food here is very different. Chop suey was just Chinese cabbage and 2 pieces of broccoli. Ginger beef was just beef with some sort of ginger sauce but not good. The only thing I liked was the wonton soup. Won't be going back.

Ordered delivery
Food was much improved over last years offerings I was very happy with the taste. Delivery is not free. Prices have risen, which is understandable but I was shocked and dismayed to discover a dinner for 2 arrives in hamburger size containers versus a dinner for 3 is twice the size in the rectangle container. As nothing alerts the customer to the change in portion sizes it left me feeling robbed. I would order again but not a dinner for 2 as it feels like a rip off to pay 5$ delivery and 35$ for the dinner for half the portions.

Ordered the dinner for two which was ginger beef, beef broccoli, the rice, and chicken balls. First the ginger beef was basically an order of onions with 4 pieces of meat the chicken balls where dry and old, the the broccoli was hard and under cooked and 5 small slices of beef the rice was basically rice total cost 42.00 this was our first time trying the place .it takes a lot to give a bad review but service is based on word of mouth maybe they’ll make a change . Thanks

The food is very fresh and delicious. The portions are definitely big, reasonable price and you get your moneys worth, that's for sure. Service is great. We never get disappointed! I highly recommend this place.

The food is incredible, with very large portions. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is always clean, tidy and well kept. They're always looking for the best produce to work with, because of this my personal favorite plate is the beef and broccoli.

This place change ownership recently?

I dont often write reviews like this, but for how expensive this was (nearly $70 for two people) This was easily one of the worst experiences iv had with Chinese food. The food isn't terrible, it just doesn't feel nearly good enough for the price. TL;DR you guys need to turn up your heat and store your food properly, like atleast paper bags.

Delivery wise, it doesn't seem very organized. We got the wrong food, part of someone else's and they got part of ours.

The beef and broccoli were cold and very undercooked. The almond chicken, we had one decent piece and the bottom piece was so thin and chewy we couldn't eat it. Also, most Chinese places would atleast grate, or powder the peanuts over top? Instead of what we got, which was 3 hand broken peanuts on top 😂

The sweet and sour pork, absolutely tragic. I'm talking what seems like extremely cheap thin pork patties, chopped into pieces with this super dull tasting bright red sauce? $70 guys?!

The rice was okay, spring rolls, and the cheese wontons were good! The battered shrimp might have been good if you cooked them, half were soaked in oil still.

You guys need to turn up your heat, buy real proper food ESPECIALLY the sweet and sour pork, that's some of the most brutal sweet and sour pork iv ever seen.

I'm giving two stars because we recieved 3/6 portions of our meal edible.
