About

About Northern China Eatery

Northern China Eatery was founded to bring the authentic flavors of Beijing and Tianjin to the diverse culinary corridor of Buford Highway in Doraville, Georgia. While Atlanta's Chinese restaurant scene has long been dominated by Cantonese and American-Chinese takeout, Northern China Eatery carved out a niche by focusing on the wheat-based cooking of northern China — hand-folded dumplings, pan-fried buns, pulled noodles, and braised pork dishes that trace their lineage to China's imperial capital.

The kitchen takes particular pride in its handmade dumplings, each folded to order in small batches. The restaurant's signature Soybean Paste Noodle (Zha Jiang Mian) — a Beijing street-food staple of hand-pulled wheat noodles topped with fermented soybean and pork sauce — has become a must-order for regulars. The Shanghai Soup Dumplings (Xiaolongbao), filled with both minced pork and a pocket of savory broth, draw diners from across the Atlanta metro area.

Northern China Eatery has grown to serve multiple locations in the Atlanta area, including Doraville and Buford, and is widely regarded as one of the most authentic Northern Chinese dining experiences in the Southeast United States. It is especially popular for takeout and delivery, and the restaurant also offers frozen wholesale dumpling and bun packs for home cooking.
