    Braised Pork Belly And Potatoes
    Ted P.

    Dongbei is a relatively new casual Chinese spot in the Hudson yards area. It looks small from a glance but it's pretty decently sized with an additional floor in the back for a small group. They have a pretty wide menu of Chinese food including skewers to dry pot. They also have a ton of lunch specials where you can pick 2/3 dishes with rice for under $14. I tried the braised pork belly with potatoes rice special but was a little disappointed. The dish was soaking in oil and it tasted pretty standard for braised pork belly. I was also disappointed that there were no potatoes in the dish despite having it in the description. The service was pretty good overall given that the place was packed due to the holiday.

    Craving some Asian food near the Javitz Center, we found Dong Bei which delivered in quality and affordability. Their lunch specials were amazingly priced - many of the customers were Chinese which is a testament to how their food is authentic Chinese. We loved the ability to pick and choose what we wanted all from an iPad ordering machine with pictures. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the crispy pork over noodles because the lunch box special stole the show - highly recommend the eggplant!

    Food was great, staff super accommodating, food and prices were super good. Not much one can ask for. I reallly loved the cold noodles. It's slightly different than Korean nengmyun but it has a chew and bite. Still salivating about it.

    Dong Bei is a small place with a large menu of authentic Northern Chinese food. It is casual and bright, but cozy. The waitress was super nice and offered several suggestions. I was the only person there not speaking Chinese, a very positive sign. On her recommendation, I ordered the crispy pork tenderloin, which was in a tangy sauce flavored of vinegar and cilantro, with a slight garlic flavor. The pork was light and crispy, but still tender.

    We visited Dongbei Restaurant on a Friday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised by how easy the wait was. We put our name down, grabbed a drink next door, and were seated in about 15 minutes, which felt very reasonable for a busy Midtown evening. The space is bright, clean, and casual, with a lively but comfortable energy. Service was efficient and friendly, and dishes came out at a steady, well paced rhythm. Dongbei cuisine comes from Northeastern China and is known for hearty, comforting food with bold flavors and generous portions. The dishes tend to lean savory and warming, with braises, stir fries, skewers, and classic sweet and sour preparations that feel especially satisfying. This was my first time trying Dongbei food, and I was particularly excited to finally try the famous Guo Bao Rou. We ordered the braised pork belly with potatoes, which was rich, deeply savory, and incredibly comforting, with tender pork and potatoes that soaked up all the sauce. The green pepper with tofu skin was one of the highlights of the meal. It was fragrant, slightly spicy, and full of texture. The garlic sautéed baby bok choy was simple, clean, and perfectly cooked, offering a nice balance to the heavier dishes. The Harbin style Guo Bao Rou lived up to its reputation, with a crispy exterior, tender pork inside, and a light sweet and sour glaze that was addictive without being overwhelming. The BBQ lamb skewers were juicy and well seasoned, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes delivered classic home style comfort, and the sliced beef in chili broth was aromatic, flavorful, and satisfyingly spicy, with tender beef throughout. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious, and the experience felt welcoming and satisfying. It was a great introduction to Dongbei cuisine, and I would absolutely return to explore more of the menu.

    Wasn't a huge fan of this place but it wasn't bad. It's a casual Chinese spot with average food. Everything tasted fine but it all hovered around average to slightly below average. Sadly do not think I'll return.

    I ordered takeout from here and all the portions were really large. Everything was really yummy. Out of everything I ordered my favorites were the hong shao rou and the tomatoes and eggs dish, although that was on the sweeter side. Would order from here again

    Dong Bei has become one of my go-to's in the area whether it be for take out or dining in. I usually do take out but I have not had any complaints. Food is always consistent for me and the deals are always good (dinner deals). I have ordered from them a few times and usually try to get different dishes but I almost always revert to the beef dry pot and the eggplant dish. I recently dined in with a friend on a Friday night and was able to try other dishes (the shredded cabbage, sliced beef in chili broth, handmade pork & shive dumplings and the pork kidney dish). Good food portions, service was fine - no complaints. Pretty chill place to grab a bite. I would definitely be back again to basically try the whole menu haha.

    The restaurant itself is quite small and what you would expect of a very basic Chinese restaurant. Food itself was great though! Serving sizes were pretty solid and price was pretty reasonable as well

    Dongbei absolutely is a hidden gem in Manhattan if you're craving an AUTHENTIC harbin-style Northeastern Chinese food in NYC incredible delicious Each bites bold flavors and transported you to a whole different world Let's start with Harbin Style Fried Pork Tenderloin, a crisp, light, sweet-sour & aromatic dish, truly brings the classic Northeast flavor. It's so hard to find Beef Cold Noodle in Manhattan a refreshing dish with tender sliced beef & vegetables in a savory tangy sauce. Steam Dumplings I'm so obsessed with this home-made dumplings. Feels like back to home Lamb Spine Hot Pot perfectly match in winter season, INSANELY amazing with flavorful broth & mix of vegetables & aromatic spices, perfect for a hearty and warming meal. What's the best part Get FREE "Northeastern Chinese Chicken and Mushroom Stew"when you purchase $80 - Tender chicken stewed with earthy mushrooms and aromatic spices, a comforting taste of Northeastern China. If you're craving authentic Harbin-Style Chinese Food is your place, everything is incredibly delicious & there is something special for you no matter if you're Chinese food lover

    Signature Harbin Style Fried Pork Tenderloin
    Jeremy R.

    I don't usually like to leave bad reviews, but my experience here was upsetting. I'm not sure if I came at an off time. Maybe they had a different chef. Maybe someone quit. But it seemed like it wasn't just our table who was waiting for their food for a long time. Ordered the cabbage and their signature Harbin style pork. Got the cabbage right away but the pork came an hour late. The server said they were running out of batches...if that was the case, they should've just asked us to order something else. If it was good, I would've been OK. But it was not. It was mostly batter and hardly any pork. The pork in it was very thin and over fried. It was like the consistency of dried fish. It was like they took old or left over pork...breaded it, and fried it. I really hope they didn't use scrap pork, but that's what it tasted like. See the little over fried strip of dried pork in the picture.

    This Dongbei is the real deal! The only Northeastern Chinese spot in Manhattan, with authentic Harbin flavors, huge portions, and seriously meaty, bold dishes. Perfect for groups -- honest, affordable, and totally satisfying. If you want real Dongbei vibes in Midtown, this is it!

    Chi Restaurant offers an extensive, authentic menu that's divided out by type of food - chicken,…read morebeef, pork, vegetable, etc. Everything is also labeled for dietary restrictions. Service is very fast and they kept the water flowing (spicy dishes really are spicy!), and the portions are huge. Though you have to pay extra for white rice ($3 a bowl), the overall value was reasonable for the main dishes. The restaurant is dark and elegant inside, with a large tv over the bar that was showing sports when we were there. It had a nice ambience.

    We got grilled pork spare ribs, scallion pancake, half of a Peking duck, pork xiao long bao, mapo…read moretofu, la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken), and general tsos chicken. The grilled pork spare ribs was good, but it was too little meat for the price. The scallion pancake was bland. The Peking duck was ok. The pork xiao long bao was bad. The skin broke easily with the included forceps and with chopsticks. It was hard even transferring it to my plate. The mapo tofu was bland. The la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken) was too spicy to eat. I have good spice tolerance, and I always eat la zi ji, but it was just too spicy. This was the only meat dish that was barely touched at the end of the dinner. The best dish was the cumin lamb. It was seasoned well and the lamb was tender. I wish they gave us more lamb though. The meat pieces were small. I've had much better Chinese food in dallas. I would not recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone.
