NE Chinese Restaurant sits on North High Street in Old North Columbus, near Ohio State's campus. The setup is split into two distinct menus: an American Favorite menu of standard Chinese-American dishes like fried rice, noodles, and chef's specials, and a separate Main Menu geared toward more traditional cooking, with its own soup and dumplings sections.
Regulars describe it as a family-run neighborhood spot with a loyal, repeat customer base rather than a place people are still discovering. Columbus Monthly named it among the city's best in 2025, and it has also drawn coverage from The Infatuation.
