Northern China Eatery (Beltline)

Went here on Saturday after they opened. Their menu is smaller than the location in Doraville, but still has all the main attractions. Overall, the new location is great with the same good food quality. The service was great and fast too. We ordered the black pepper beef, shrimp fried rice, scallion pancake and the soup dumplings. One critique was that the dishes came out in a random order, we got the beef first and the fried rice last, but i imagine this could be due to the kitchen being new. The beef was really delicious! The scallion pancake and soup dumplings were to die for as well. Everything was hot and fresh. The only dish we didn’t care for was the shrimp fried rice, which was oily and a little soggy. We would’ve preferred it to be crispier and there were only three shrimps of various sizes. If you’re a fan of the original location and live ITP, this is definitely worth a visit! I will definitely be back 😊

Such a fun and lively spot! Great bar, awesome vibe, and the food was super good — the soup dumplings are a must. Staff were super friendly, and it still feels comfy even if you’re eating solo.

Absolutely love this new addition to the beltline! The ambiance and service is amazing! Cannot wait for them to get their liquor license to enjoy some drinks while eating the dumplings! Would highly recommend their shrimp or chicken with garlic sauce and whenever I get their dumplings I usually get it pan seared!!! Considering they’re new to the beltline and they already have a huge following you should expect a good wait when waiting for your food! But it’s so so worth it!!!

Northern China Eatery just opened their new spot on the Beltline this weekend, and it already feels like a place I’ll be coming back to often. The vibe is similar to their Buford Highway location, but with more seating options: there’s a patio, extra tables near the kitchen, and even a bar area, though drinks don’t seem to be flowing just yet. As for the food, the highlights of our meal were definitely the soup dumplings and the Szechuan fish. The dumplings came out steaming hot, perfectly delicate on the outside and bursting with rich, flavorful broth inside. And the Szechuan fish, my longtime favorite, was just as amazing as always with that addictive balance of heat, spice, and comfort that keeps me ordering it again and again.

The Beltline finally gets some of the best dumplings and good Chinese food. There is the slight beltline tax with the prices but worth it to have authentic Chinese food. Short walk from paid parking at Krog or edge or free street parking if you can find

Love walking around the graffiti area and just noticed this new restaurant today, so I had to try it out. The food was really tasty — chicken buns were my favorite! Super friendly staff too. Definitely worth a visit.

From the moment these dishes arrived at the table, they were a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The stir-fried noodles with crisp broccoli and succulent shrimp are perfectly seasoned, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The savory, tender meat dish, likely a classic stir-fry, is rich in taste with well-balanced spices and fresh vegetables, making every bite incredibly satisfying. And let’s not forget the dumplings—plump, juicy, and expertly crafted, they’re a delightful addition that rounds out this amazing meal. The attention to detail in each dish, from presentation to flavor, showcases the chef’s dedication to authentic and delicious cuisine. This restaurant truly delivers an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of Asian flavors. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Absolutely outstanding! The food was authentic, flavorful, and freshly made — easily some of the best Northern Chinese cuisine I’ve had in Atlanta. The service was warm, quick, and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet lively. Everything from dumplings to noodles was delicious and perfectly prepared. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a true taste of Northern China. I’ll definitely be coming back!
