High quality food, not easy to find around Helsinki. Spicy food IS spicy. And the portions are the biggest I've seen in any restaurant here!
Santeri KarttunenJuly 11, 2013For you chilli-heads, enjoy the three pepper rated dishes which are just perfectly off the charts! This one in the photo is chonqing chicken, authentically cut with bones intact.
Pavel PakMay 8, 2013Guys, it's purely awesome. Trust me and check my surmane, yes it's Korean, but still I know something about Chineese food and "Me Lin" is definitely one of the best places you could try it!
Claudia TreuthardtDecember 31, 2012Deliciously nice surprise in the Chinese food genre of Helsinki: fresh & pure tastes sets this one apart and above of the average Chinese in the area. I recommend to taste their dumplings!- After 4 years, the quality is still high and the portions are still big!
JingJune 20, 2016The most authentic Chinese I have had in Helsinki. Sweet and sour eggplant, spicy potato, mapo-tofu, all delicious
KristaJuly 3, 2017The best chinese restaurant in Helsinki. Unfortunately it doesn't mean much. One of the only places where you can actually get nice dumplings.
Ville KauppiNovember 6, 2022Don't let the dull interior and cheap menu design fool you - the food is really great! A lot of vegan options as well. ❤️- BryonyDecember 10, 2023It was lovely but beware the portions are huge! We ordered 2 starters and 2 mains and had enough for a family of 5. There were 14 dumplings (I was expecting 6!). Justifies the price though..
Jussi SöderlundJuly 2, 2013Excellent chinese food with spices and taste and i know my chinese food :)! Highly recommend!!
Food is excellent and really Chinese, compared to many other places in town. Service is great.
- Flavourful, inexpensive, and easygoing. Try the fried dumplings and the fresh salad rolls with pork! Worth a visit.
- Great hot dishes: deep fried chicken in hot chili, poached beef in chili oil, sliced squid in chili pot and mapo tofu!
Martin Dominik PintérOctober 7, 2016It is advertised as best Chinese restaurant in the city. They are not mistaking.
Fried noodles with vegetables is a delicious lunch dish! And only 5,8 euros. Tofu can be added, but costs a little extra.
Konstantinos TziomakisMarch 23, 2015Just perfect... nice and friendly place! Amazing and tasteful food..
Selim SaukkomaaJune 26, 2011If you find Dong Bei Hu too expensive and stuffy but still yearn for pretty authentic chinese fare, look no further. The twice-fried pork is really good!
Telle BenaissaNovember 10, 2015Good spice food a la carte. The buffet didn't look that appetising so didn't try it.
- Niko NymanOctober 8, 2011Try the tasty hot pot for two. They recommend to reserve the dish in advance.
Best Chinese restaurant in town! Love the fried dumplings.
T-P ViljamaaSeptember 5, 2011Has the same atmosphere, price point and pure Chinese food without any modifications to Finnish taste as DBH had years ago in Museokatu Read more
Dragan VujasinovićFebruary 24, 2015We were waiting for Sunday lunch over 1hr! Never had similar experience in my life. At the end we left the place without having any food. I will never come again here, worst service in the whole world
Nastya PakMay 8, 2013Лучший ужин за три дня пребывания в Хельсинки. Настоящая китайская еда. Обязательно попробуйте цыпленка во фритюре в сладком соусе - выше всяких похвал! Вернусь сюда еще раз!:)
Maria CelinaAugust 16, 2016Excelente comida chinesa, muito bem temperada. As apimentadas são bem picantes.
Andrey PetrovSeptember 28, 2016Вкусно. Порции большие, одним блюдом наедаешься. Дополнительно приносят тарелку риса — хватит на двоих.
Tua KyrklundAugust 2, 2013Paras syömäni kiinalainen ruoka - maukasta, hyvin maustettua ja erilaista kuin Suomen kiinalaissa yleensä.

"If you look for an old school English pub with a varied beer selection, this might be the best place in Helsinki. Real ale on tap always, darts available, cozy and British."
