I've been twice and had takeout once. Everything has been very flavorful. I have not tried any of the American menu but the Chinese menu is awesome. The Salt and Pepper Tofu and Eggplant with soybean paste were excellent. The Mapo tofu without meat was good but a little 1 note. I would only get it again with a lot of people where we were sharing. The restaurant is a little cozy and not fancy but has always been clean with friendly service.
Been meaning to try this place for years now, finally made it in. This place rules. I can’t wait to go back. Had the spicy beef noodle soup and spring rolls. Spring rolls were a little undercooked but I can forgive it. The soup was great, and an absolute ton of food. The guy who took my order was great. No notes. Keep it up.
I've probably had the typical American-style Chinese food hundreds of times and you always know what to expect. This place blows those expectations out of the water and serves up some distinct and delicious dishes from another region of China.
We had the Beef Noodle Soup, Edamame, Salt & Pepper Tofu, and the Spicy Twice Cooked Fish. All of them were great. The soup has a flavorful and slightly spicy broth that goes well with the noodles and bok choy. The tofu dish was excellent - and I'm not even a fan of tofu. The fish was packed with flavors and perfectly cooked.
Love this place. It can get busy. Very good cumin potatoes. Everything is good on the Chinese menu.
I tryed the NE Chinese Restaurant a few Sunday's ago, cause they had pretty solid reviews. I ordered the Chicken eggroll and Chicken and Broccoli. The eggrolls were pretty good. The Chicken and Broccoli was also good. The only compliant was that the brown sauce was a bit too sweet than what I'm used to. And there wasn't much Chicken in the dish. But still an overall great dish.
Wow. That was some of the best takeout I have had in a while. Cilantro pork, peppercorn beef, spicy potato salad, salt and pepper tofu, and cream custard buns. So many flavors that were new to me, and everything was fantastic. Staff was SO friendly and accommodating, too!
Honestly amazing, the reviews are true! I ordered the pan fried dumplings, spicy fried chicken (C3) and the beef noodle soup (M2). Everything is super flavorful, and still hot/crispy even with a long delivery time. Only possible negative was the beef was on the fattier side, but thats a personal preference, and could be a positive to others. If you're looking for not-mall-quality Chinese food, this is it!
Definitely LOVE the place! If you’re from northeastern China and miss the authentic taste, this’s absolutely the go-to-place in Columbus. Just keep in mind that you gotta order the 东北大拉皮 one day ahead of time.
If you can show me another spot as good as this, I will be surprised. I have lived in Columbus all of my life, over 30 years, and I have been to just about every "great" Chinese food ever. Northeast Chinese not only has excellent, fresh tasting food, their prices are more reasonable than anything I've seen that compares. Here's the thing, nothing compares. Sometimes I will have meals of theirs 2 and 3 days later and their chicken and vegetables are still fresh tasting and crispy. I've been in the food service industry a long time and I know the difference between quality food and care, versus the latter. This food is some of my favorite and you will absolutely not regret visiting this place. To top it off, the people who run the place are absolutely amazing, kind, and always grateful for our business. I hope this place stays around forever!
Tempted to take a star off for unreasonably slow service on Christmas Day (no idea what it’s like on other days), but this place is legit fantastic and inexpensive to boot. Would come a long, long way again (as I did) for authentic and flavorful Northeastern Chinese cuisine.
