DONGBEI 东北(Upper West Side)

good taste! good service! love dongbei food!

Authentic Chinese Food! New store as a Chinese person I am very impressed. They have a great variety of Chinese food I would def come again. Great place for a fast lunch

Small but very clean and nice spot. You can sit down and eat if you like or takeout. Both ladies behind the counter were very nice and would explain any dish I had asked about. Even gave a sample of some noodles that they were handing out for free. I got the braised pork belly bowl with white rice, cabbage, Szechuan chili sauce and soup dumplings. Both dishes were delicious, so much flavor. Will visit again

The food here is fantastic! I tried the wings and the braised pork belly—both were packed with flavor. Lexi was super helpful in walking me through the menu, pointing out both familiar dishes and authentic options you’d usually only find in Chinatown. It’s a great balance of classic takeout favorites and genuine Chinese specialties. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I ordered the beef broth hot pot at max spice. The broth was adequately rich and creamy. The touch of vinegar was excellent for slurping down broth at the end. The peanut sauce on top of everything brought a sweet balance. Much appreciated. Quite a surprise came to me as I saw the many vegetable options given in my bowl. TBH I do not expect to be served seaweed knots, black fungus, or tofu skin in this part of upper Manhattan. I moved from Manhattan's Chinatown to Harlem so I no longer have more traditional Chinese food at arms length. This brought me great joy. The benches are comfortable and the people are nice. Their music choice is good too. I don't do much online posting or reviews, but I'd like to be able to return here for a while. They take great care to give you many options to customize your order to your preference. I hope more folks come here.
