Dong bei is an underrepresented cuisine in Houston. North Eastern Restaurant is one a few places in town that specializes in the winter-friendly dishes from the northern region of China. When Eater went, it was the eggplant and the Shepherd's pie-like dish that sounded appealing. Houstonia's Robb Walsh opted for different dishes in this Gastronaut post. Walsh writes: "Dong Bei cuisine, the cooking of the North Eastern region of China, also known as Manchuria, is particularly suited to cold weather. That's probably why Dong Bei restaurants are becoming common in New York." [Houstonia]
