North East Kitchen - Do you want to try pork first time / last time / or infinite time. This is the dead joint. Any dishes with pork makes you beg for pig. Pork Ribs/ Pork thigh - The pork fat, square cut, with halwa stiffness, border with little bit of meat. When you bite, it dissolves seamlessly. Beware of your weight and wallet. A typical Korean based dishes sorted out in a lick smack way! Tangsuyuk - Fried pork with less oil, dipped in pumkin mashed up up up gravy, with light tint of salt, immersed with Pineapple, Apple, and pears. I never ate a gravy as starter.. This dish makes me! forces me! and begged me! to dot that Orirose - A Korean duck, minced loly loly pieces, a small burner flames in our table, frying duck pieces on its own fat, making aromatic with mustard sauce. Its really new to Tamil tongue. I am damn sure this is one among the authentic small restaurant on recent times.
It was a bliss to escape into this small place and enjoy the traditional north east food and korean food in the midst of chennai.
Best of the best
Pork and beef next level taste...really very good in all aspects
You don't need to trust me. But you can see other ratings and other reviews. The best part is this is the only pan Asian restaurant in chennai which has high rating. Actually I don't review much on food or restaurant because I am a chef so I know how thing move on and under the tables. And satisfying me impossible I need perfection in food. This restaurant absolutely serves the delicius of the food that you order. For common man what am saying is if you sit and order and have the food. You will feel like eat real Chinese food in China it'self. You can get the originality of the ambience and food of pan asain cusine. Don't expect local fast food items there. The food will be pure authentic. The price of all the item will be descent.
If your a food lover want to try pan asian food this is the heaven friend. And I really appreciate the chef waiters and the management for running a nice show. my heartful blessings to run good service and businesses. God bless you all
Serving portions are large. The hospitality is great. The Korean dishes are absolutely delicious. Prices vary but again the large serving portions justify. Favourite place to be in town when you miss home food. North East and Chinese cuisines are also an absolute delight.
If you want to have authentic NE food with the focus only on flavours then search no more, this is the place.
Food:
Chicken Thukpa – A wholesome mild-spiced noodle soup with chicken, veggies and lot more of the broth; the meat was slightly crunchy, but the real hero was the veggies. The carrots, bell peppers, cilantro was all fresh with the taste of lotus root dominating the bowl
Chicken Fried Momo – The homemade taste was spot-on in this dish; it was very soft while the crunchiness was only in bits and pieces; it had more of meat and with the chilli dip, this is good.
Special Meal all curry plate definitely has to be the most exotic plate I’ve ever tried,
Mixed veg sprout – Fresh, full of proteins and was sour
Iromba – Spicy mashed potatoes with green veggies, one of a kind
Green leaves – Kind of half-cooked but yes, definitely flavourful
Boiled mix veg – Broccoli, carrot and beans; pretty bland and cold
Kimchi – Spicy radish pickle; was springy with all the flavours
Fried crispy nuts – Kind of sweet, crunchy to serve as THE snack
Chicken curry with Sticky rice – Spicy gravy with soft chicken wings; with the rice, it was definitely on a different level
(Need to try their beef and pork too)
To finish up the meal was a complimentary watermelon which helped to alleviate the spiciness.
Ambience/Price:
This is a decent outlet with good seating space and mall parking facility. There are no complaints about the service, but the price is of concern. Not many would be happy with the Quantity:Price ratio (I personally felt it); can improve on the same.
Love the ambience. The meal set is filling and awesome. The kimbap with pork fried with naga king chillies is the best. Pork Dumpling is also good. Lemon soda is like heaven in summer.
One of the very good and recommended place. The food and the flavor is so authentic... Thukpa, beef kimchi and pork ribs are my favorite....
The food here is great!! Came here two days in a row. Will definitely recommend them to others. Great going!
It is good and casual comfortable place even to dine alone.. Will be coming back to try different menu items.over all had a good experience with the restaurant.
Ramyun at North East Kitchen
This place is located near Ethiraj College and so is a great go to place for college students. The prices are also not too high. This is a bowl of instant korean noodles. The side dishes include
Eromba
Kimchi (radish)
Roasted peanuts
Sprouts
Fried spinach
Chow chow
Of all, my favorite was kimchi although it was a little spicy. The staff is very calm and patient. The ambience is not that great. It could be improved a lot. Otherwise, a great place to try korean food.

Let's get straight to the point...
Location: not the typical exclusive place as you would expect most restaurants.. this sits snuggled in a jungle of offices and other eateries. So as you reach the destination, get into the building complex and just ask around.
Ambience: as everyone had already reviewed, it's nothing fancy to boast about but neat enough to sit about 20 people. The people who run the place add a homely feel to it without being dressed as typical waiters or waitresses which I was ok with.
The menu: it's an elaborate one.. so if you can decide beforehand on what you would like to eat it would help your hunger phangs. Because when you reach there and you wait and see the table next to you eat their meal you would run out patience.
What I ordered:
Starters:
pork dry fry with veg: crispy pieces of pork that were drop fried with vegetables. This one was done really well although I should have gone for the semi gravy/ not so deep fried pork as it made the meat too crispy and dry on the inside. But I loved it anyway!!
Chicken fry: pieces of chicken fried to the crisp.. I ordered this for my son so it wasn't spicy.. it's better eaten when hot..
Mains:
Thukpa (chicken and beef): this is the traditional hearty bowl of Tibet which constitutes of ramen noodles, boiled vegetables and biteable sizes of meat that has been deep fried all immersed in a hot spicy soup that brings it all together. If you've got a cold and would like to clear it all at one go.. this is your remedy. I enjoyed this bowl and surprisingly it was enough for me not to want to order anything else for my mains.
P.S: no desserts and only coke/Pepsi is available.
They however let you end the meal with freshly cut watermelon pieces.. which was a refreshing end to a wonderful meal!
I would definitely go back to did into their full meals and they're Korean menu.
The best food I've had in a long time. My friends and I absolutely loved everything we ordered. The crunchy pork and beef was especially delicious. The pork gravy was also really really good. I will definitely be coming here again. The service was also great, they were very sweet. You will not regret dining here!

It was a delightful dish for those who enjoy a bit of spiciness in their meals.

Loved the food. The spice and flavours were impeccable. Recommended the Chicken Kas and Vegetable Thukpa. They also like give watermelon at the end.
been meaning to go to this place for a long time and finally did, it did not disappoint. The food was light and tasty, they had a wide selection of Korean food priced norminal. I loved the dakgalbi and aa ain, definitely recommend it.
I go to this restaurant frequently...If you want to try authentic northeast food; it is the place to have...dry chicken fry with king chilli is a constant starter for me ..momos are also good...I found the taste of chowmin is similar to what we eat in Guwahati which is difficult to find in Chennai...I tried chicken and beef curry both are good ..I especially like the side dish of sticky rice...that saag is really very tasty...I tried fish curry with veggies,which is also good... It is also the best to have pork in Chennai...you can try pork dry fry,pork rib,pork curry...the restaurant is small but the service is good..
Authentic North Eastern Cuisine. Their speciality is Pork and Beef. Be ready for the Naga Chilli kick.
Try their complementary collard green, potato salad and cucumber chilli. A good pallet cleanser.
If you find it difficult to locate the place ask the security or the parking token guy.
The food was particularly unique to the dish and no indie made versions with exact food served. Although the place seems low key the food and experience are worth the bucks and of course affordable.
The service of food was a bit slow but could compromise the downside however with fresh preparation it outcasts the cons.
Overall - a good place to enjoy authentic Korean food.
I visited this place by word of mouth from my friend. I used to experiment food always and that’s the main reason I visited NEK.
So the menu setup is completely different, they’ve separate sections for each meat. Why so because there a lot to choose from each section. So being confused and also was here for the first time, I requested the person there to suggest me with their specialties. I was open to all types of meat. So I was recommended for pork.
So as a starter order a dish from pork and that was really really amazing. The way it was cooked and taste was excellent. Actually I didn’t expect that.
Then a beef combo with rice, it was also good but not up to the level of pork.
Also some momos to try. It was amazing. Also they give you some veggies and accompaniments. The place is little small but well maintained.
Overall it’s a very good restaurant where they serve authentic north eastern and pan Asian cuisine at a nominal rate compared to other fancy restaurants.
