NE Chinese Restaurant: A Gem in Columbus Worth Visiting

I recently had the pleasure of dining at NE Chinese Restaurant, a gem renowned for its authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine. The warm atmosphere immediately made me feel at home. The signature dishes, including stewed chicken soup, braised pork, sweet and sour pork, and pickled cabbage with pork, were a delightful culinary journey. Each bite was a testament to the unforgettable dining experience this place offers.

However, every dish has its own story. The cumin lamb dish, for instance, was a bit of a surprise with its generous amount of whole cumin seeds. It gave the meat a unique, slightly bitter taste. The 'Guo Bao Rou' (fried pork), a local specialty, didn't quite hit the mark for me, but the fried eggplant in garlic sauce was a game-changer. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a dish in a Northeastern Chinese restaurant.

I also tried the spicy beef noodle soup and spring rolls. The soup was hearty and satisfying, and the spring rolls, despite being a tad undercooked, were still enjoyable. The Salt and Pepper Tofu and Eggplant with soybean paste were excellent, and the Mapo tofu, although a bit one-note, was still good. The Chicken eggroll and Chicken and Broccoli were also good, though the brown sauce was a bit sweeter than I'm used to. Despite these minor hiccups, NE Chinese Restaurant is a place worth visiting for both locals and tourists alike. The friendly service and clean environment only add to the overall appeal of this place.
