Finally Found Tianjin Cuisine in the US! 🥟

After over ten years in the States, I stumbled upon a hidden gem right here in Duluth — Northern Dumpling Restaurant! 🏮 If you're from Tianjin or just love Northern Chinese flavors, you might have passed by this spot countless times without realizing they serve authentic Tianjin dishes. I started with three dishes to test the waters — Northern cuisine tends to be saltier, so keep that in mind! 🧂 Here’s what I tried: Lao Bao San (Stir-Fried Pork Tripe, Kidney & Liver): A classic Tianjin dish! The kidney had a slightly stronger taste than back home, and the liver was cut a bit thick (which made it less tender). Still, the flavor brought me right back. Other Tianjin Specialties: The Tianjin-style dishes were satisfying and nostalgic — exactly what I was hoping for! I’ve seen mixed reviews online, but as someone who came specifically for Tianjin flavors, I left happy. If you’re craving a taste of Northern China, this might just hit the spot. 😊 📍 Northern Dumpling Restaurant (Check last image for address) #AtlantaEats #TianjinFood #NorthernChinese #DuluthEats #ComfortFood #HiddenGem 🥢✨
