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 Karttunen

For 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 Pak

Guys, 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 Treuthardt

Deliciously 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 !

Stefano Pedro

After 4 years, the quality is still high and the portions are still big!

Jing

The most authentic Chinese I have had in Helsinki. Sweet and sour eggplant , spicy potato , mapo-tofu, all delicious

Ville Kauppi

Don't let the dull interior and cheap menu design fool you - the food is really great! A lot of vegan options as well . ❤️

Krista

The best chinese restaurant in Helsinki. Unfortunately it doesn't mean much. One of the only places where you can actually get nice dumplings .

Jussi Söderlund

Excellent chinese food with spices and taste and i know my chinese food :)! Highly recommend!!

Rod Nekhaev

Great. The best Chinese cuisine restaurant I have ever visited so far :)

Jyrki Kontio

Food is excellent and really Chinese, compared to many other places in town . Service is great.

Bryony

It 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..

Jalmari Raippalinna

Great hot dishes: deep fried chicken in hot chili , poached beef in chili oil , sliced squid in chili pot and mapo tofu !

Mona B

Flavourful, inexpensive , and easygoing. Try the fried dumplings and the fresh salad rolls with pork ! Worth a visit.

Martin Dominik Pintér

It is advertised as best Chinese restaurant in the city . They are not mistaking.

Konstantinos Tziomakis

Just perfect... nice and friendly place! Amazing and tasteful food..

Kari

Proper Szechuan food . Rare in Finland.

Jussi Häyhä

Spicy tofu was what was promised: spicy . ????????

Telle Benaissa

Good spice food a la carte. The buffet didn't look that appetising so didn't try it.

Jaana Huusko

Best Chinese restaurant in town ! Love the fried dumplings .

Ilka Helo

Fried noodles with vegetables is a delicious lunch dish ! And only 5,8 euros. Tofu can be added, but costs a little extra.

Mika Matikainen

Delicious and spicy Chinese food . Sichuan cuisine .

Ilona Hiila

Really good, authentic chinese. Try the twice cooked pork !

Selim Saukkomaa

If 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!

Sebastian Storholm

Probably the best Chinese food in Helsinki!

Mika A

The bestest fried dumplings !

Dragan Vujasinović

We 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

Rasmus Stoltzenberg

New address, Annankatu 29 from 14 Dec 2019.

Try the tasty hot pot for two. They recommend to reserve the dish in advance.

Vegetarian options are lacking.

Olli Kähkönen

Not impressive

Nastya Pak

Лучший 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 Celina

Excelente comida chinesa , muito bem temperada. As apimentadas são bem picantes .

Andrey Petrov

Вкусно. Порции большие, одним блюдом наедаешься. Дополнительно приносят тарелку риса — хватит на двоих.

Tua Kyrklund

Paras syömäni kiinalainen ruoka - maukasta, hyvin maustettua ja erilaista kuin Suomen kiinalaissa yleensä.

Johannes Koski

Tultiin lounaalle ja tilattiin listalta. Eeppisen hyvää!
