My friends recommended this restaurant to me, and I have to say—it was a great pick. I’m not completely new to Northeastern Chinese cuisine, having tried it multiple times while living in Beijing.
Based on my knowledge and experience, I’d say the food here is quite authentic. The highlight for me was the Guo Bao Rou (Fried Pork in Scoop). The pork used isn’t too lean, so it stays juicy, and the batter is light and perfectly fried. The sauce is rich, slightly tangy, and refreshing—it’s honestly hard to stop after just one piece.
We also had the beancurd skin as an appetizer, which turned out to be surprisingly delicious. Each piece was thoroughly soaked in sauce, giving it a very flavorful and satisfying taste.
The Di San Xian (sautéed potato, green pepper, and eggplant) was another standout. The distinct flavors of the three ingredients were all well expressed and blended beautifully into a truly delicious and balanced dish.
The rest of the dishes we ordered were also very good, and the portions were generous.
Overall, this is definitely a solid spot if you’re craving genuine northeastern Chinese food. I’d happily come back again.

This restaurant is located in Chinatown, 东北人家 offers an authentic taste of Northeastern Chinese cuisine in a comfortable, air-conditioned setting. Service is swift, and the wait time is reasonable.
Their dishes are cooked with care and high quality, but the highlight is undoubtedly their dumplings—perfectly textured, flavorful, and simply splendid. Whether pan-fried, boiled, or steamed, they deliver a true taste of home-style cooking. We love their fried pork! It’s marvellous.
A must visit if you haven’t been here. — at 东北人家 Dong Bei Ren Jia.

First try after hearing rave reviews. Would say decent and pleasant dining experience. Food came fast and furious. Generous portion but don't feel it's spicy enuff. 辣子鸡 tad disappointing, didn't finish 80% of the plate. Personal highlight is the cold noodle and 锅包肉. So so good! Ordered 15 dishes. A hearty feast!

Best to make reservation than doing walk-in to avoid queuing to wait for a table. The dishes come in one standard size. Food was reasonably price and tasty but don't expect good service from the staff here. The dishes were flavourful but slightly oily. However, the dish that left the deepest impression was 拔丝地瓜. A simple dessert made from sweet potato but yet taste amazingly good.

One of the better chinese restaurants I have eaten in SG. Chinese food generally tends to be quite 重口味 and oily, but their dishes are not overwhelmingly so and are still possible to finish up even without rice. The food are flavourful and authentic. One of my go-to places for chinese food whenever I am around the area.
