Northeast has its own unique charm (or no charm?). Very dive-y restaurant. Not the place where you'd take your date to. Cheap and fresh hemp beer on tap. YouTube is on for you to use as a jukebox.
No pretending and pressure, the atmosphere is relaxed. You don't even need to tip (server refused to accept tips on drinks). The woman server is pleasant and very smiley though her English is limited.
The cuisine seems different from the typical Chinese we know. Could be because they're from Northeast China? Manchurian. I'm not sure.
So far I've only had good experiences here. It's a character of a restaurant.
