Heihe’s local cuisine features mainly Northeastern Chinese flavors, incorporating characteristics from various major Chinese culinary styles, while Russian-style dishes also occupy an important place.

Heihe’s dishes use local rare ingredients with elaborate cooking techniques and a wide variety of selections. The dominant taste is salty and savory with rich oil and deep colors, and generous portions make meals affordable and satisfying. Primary cooking methods include plain boiling, gentle stewing, quick blanching, stir-frying, braising, raw tossing and cold mixing, with a signature highlight of being unique, fresh, light and nourishing.

The word "Soup" in Russian is "Supa". This soup is simmered with fresh cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and perilla leaves, paired with beef or beef bones, delivering a delicious taste and abundant nutrition.

Fresh live common carp are scaled and marinated in high-quality rice vinegar to turn the fish meat white and firm. It is then mixed with fine salt, monosodium glutamate, coriander, cucumber, mashed garlic, mustard and fried chili peppers. The dish tastes extremely tender and fresh, sour and spicy to stimulate the appetite, with an exclusive distinctive flavor.

Cut crisscross slashes on chum salmon, marinate it in soy sauce, then deep-fry it. Leave a little base oil in the wok, sauté scallions and ginger until fragrant, add diced meat and broad bean paste for stir-frying, then pour in clear soup, vinegar, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, chili powder and the fried salmon. Simmer over low heat until the sauce penetrates thoroughly into the fish. Drizzle with sesame oil and scatter chopped coriander to finish. The finished salmon has a reddish-brown glossy appearance with a mellow, rich taste and strong local regional characteristics.

Located right next to Russia, Heihe serves authentic Russian dishes including grilled Russian chicken, cream beef patties, Russian pork steaks, shashlik and borscht, which retain genuine Russian flavors and are deeply popular among tourists.
