    Egg Roll

    After a two-month break, Helen's Asian Kitchen is finally back! A true hidden gem tucked behind Waffle House, serving up comfort, flavor, and serious heart. My absolute favorite dish here is Spicy Crispy Beef - Gan Bian Niu Rou

    Cooked soup dumplings
    Luc Y.

    Great place for soup dumplings! Stoped in Columbus about a month while on a road trip and figured I'd grab soup dumplings from the top rated place in the city according to the Internet. I was not disappointed! The lady was very nice and packed the soup dumplings frozen in ice for the 2 hour drive back to Cleveland for me per my request. Great service and understanding there. They were extremely easy to cook, 3 min in the instant pot and low heat and they tasted so good! The skin was moist and soft, not sticky at all and the meat filling was juicy and flavorful.

    Everything here could be improved. Imo. First the restaurant is freezing like they didn't bother to adjust the heat to the outside weather. It was noticeably cold... instantly. The over all ambiance is not really that great. Why? Torn awning outside. The mop/bucket is out in front of the bar. A broom/standing dust pan is in front of the hostess stand. Hostess stand un manned, despite the broom combo. There are large boxes and boxes piled up along the entire back wall, stacked haphazardly in the formal dining room, giving off a super messy vibe as its in clear view. The place smells clean so thats a pro. Yelps health score rating showed a 100% from the last dept of health rating so I didn't cancel the order but I was still unsettled. You wonder what I ordered: I ordered was a shrimp/chive bun and a soup. Was expecting it 5.75 total as that is what the menu says. Found it to be over 8 dollars. Thats a big difference. When I brought that to their attention they said oh the prices are wrong on the menu. Pretty sure thats illegal to do that with pricing. That irritated me, but I just smiled and vowed never ever to return. Then when I looked at the food when I got home... the chive bun was a few tiny potstickers. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting a bun dumpling or bao shaped item. As I said I didnt eat any of it. Im seriously tossing the food. I got a bad vibe I cant get over the messy box situation. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Plus The fact that its 10-20 outside and their heat isnt turned up inside just doesnt sit well with me. Hard pass for me.

    Dim sum menu -

    We stopped by Saturday morning excited for some Dim Sum. Since their Dim Sum menu was smaller, was thinking they just were their specialties. Unfortunately I seemed like all the dim sum was frozen and reheated. Was super bummed not to get more authentic goods.

    "Soup" dumplings

    Ordered soup dumplings. There was literally no soup. Not a drop. They also did not serve it with any dumpling sauce or black vinegar. Guy looked at me like I was crazy when I asked. Would not order this again here.

    I think this was the Hunan beef but I'm not 100% sure. It was delicious!

    Hidden gem!! The location isn't great, but the food makes the trip worth it! We started with the hot and sour soup and it's the best I've ever had! I got the cilantro pork and it was very tasty. My only critique was a couple bites of pork were fatty, but that can happen anywhere. Mom had the shrimp with broccoli and loved it. We will definitely be back!!

    Ordered takeout from here the other night. I thought the food was tasty and exactly what we were looking for. A little pricey but I would order from here again. Good size portions and tasty!

    First they didn't honor the yelp coupon for 6 free dragon rolls. The fish chilli was perfect. That by itself is worth 4 . However, I took a star because they didn't honor the yelp coupon. The house pad Thai was dry so I poured some of the chilli both on it and it booted it up a notched . The chicken Lo mein was moist and had good flavor. The egg roll didn't have any flavor but it was crispy. I had alot better. The fish chilli was the highlight. I would order it again it was that good. It out shined everything we ordered. The fish was boiled and the sauce was perfect. I sopped it up with bread because I didn't want to waste any of it. Would I take a friend from out of town? Yes just to get the fish.

    Tried this place because of numerous recommendations on Nextdoor. Kung po chicken was gross. Typical bad Chinese food.

    Cannot even express how good this was. Wowza! I have been traveling for several weeks for work and…read moreeating out everyday. My stomach is truly tired of restaurant food. I opted for delivery and was looking for a quick soup. Another helpers picture caught my attention and they offered free delivery on dash. Food arrived really fast, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. I had the Dapanji stirred noodles which was silky and smooth and packed with flavor. The chicken was chunks of thigh meat on the bone and had bell peppers and potatoes. Sounds simple but MAN! Delish! It also had fresh noodles in a separate container. I also ordered hot n sour just in case I didn't like it, and I tasted it but couldn't put the Dapanji down. Hot n sour was also fantastic (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). The eggroll was so so fresh and crispy. Not oily at all and the texture of the meat (white meat chicken) and veggies was PERFECT! This was probably the best door dash meal I have ever had. I must try eating in the restaurant soon! Side note, they also packed everything in the cutest containers and included utensils (spoon, chopsticks, toothpick)

I always add a soy marinaded egg and I can't imagine not doing so. I've tried both the thin and wide noodles and both have the most amazing texture. I've come with meat eaters and they enjoy it too. You order using a QR code at the table and the staff are attentive. The dining room is comfortable and medium sized and I've never had trouble finding a seat, though I do hear that sometimes business is bumping.

We ordered the dry pot lamb spine, but the portion was very small, and the lamb was extremely fatty to the point that it was barely edible, especially for $22.99. The shredded Potato was $12.99 and also a very small portion. The boiled fish was okay, but honestly the only dish we were truly satisfied with was the fried noodles we ordered for the kids. Overall, it was not what I hoped for, and I would not come back again.

We were greeted and seated quickly and service was very friendly. As we were hungry, we took a mi Ute to decide what to order. We had planned on storm fish, but made a last minute decision to Sichuan sliced beef (we loveeee a numbing pepper!) with starts of egg roll and spicy wontons. Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!
