About us.

DongBei House cooks the food of China's northeast — big, generous, cold-weather dishes built on wheat, cabbage, pork and cumin — alongside the numbing chilli cooking of Sichuan. Everything is made to order in a wok kitchen on Rauhankatu: dumplings pleated by hand each morning, a weekday lunch buffet for the neighbourhood, and private rooms with karaoke for the nights that run long.

  • Dongbei means North East and that’s where I was born at. The dumplings looked homemade and the green beans were very pleasant.

  • One of the best Chinese restaurants in town. The portion was really big, we got several dishes to share and I recommend doing the same. The staff was also super nice! The place is very spacious with really good ventilation, really good for company dinner for example. There’s also a private room.

  • I was killing time in Helsinki, searching for a place to eat, and this Dong Bei joint popped up. Dong Bei — Northern Chinese — food rarely makes it onto the mainstream radar, but it should, because when it’s done right, it’s a brutal, honest flavor hit. Being a fan, I had to try it, and I wasn’t let down.
