Northview Oriental

Newcastle's Northview Oriental brings proper Chinese cooking to the city, serving up generous portions of chow mein and soul-warming soups that hit the mark every time. This is no-frills, satisfying food that locals have come to rely on for a reliable fix of familiar flavours. The kitchen keeps things straightforward but effective, turning out dishes that taste like they've been made with care rather than rushed through a production line.
