Oh Deer Dongbei is a Chinese BBQ restaurant on St Swithun's Road in East Cliff, a short walk from Bournemouth town centre. It specialises in Dongbei cuisine, the barbecue and hot pot cooking style of China's north-eastern Dongbei region, served with Korean-influenced flavours alongside it.
Food
The menu centres on skewers, with lamb and beef among the favourites, cooked over barbecue alongside a range of hot pot options with a choice of broths, meats and vegetables. Rice dishes, including a well-regarded house special fried rice, round out the menu. It's a style of Chinese cooking that's harder to find in Bournemouth than the more familiar Cantonese-style takeaway menu, which makes it something of a change of pace for the area.
Takeaway and delivery
As well as dining in, Oh Deer Dongbei takes pre-orders for collection through its own website, and food can also be delivered via Uber Eats for those who'd rather eat at home. A student discount is available, which suits the restaurant's location near Bournemouth's student population.
Good to know
The restaurant opens for dinner most evenings, roughly 5pm to 10pm, and is closed on Tuesdays. As with any independent restaurant, it's worth checking current opening hours and menu prices directly before visiting, particularly around bank holidays.
