Hello. Thanks for your sharing. I think people who see your review will not go there. I would like to recommend a Russian restaurant, if you go to Harbin next time. It's called "露西亚" or "Russian Coffee and Food". (http://www.chinahighlights.com/harbin/restaurants/cafe-lucia.htm) It is also located on Zhongyang Dajie. I went there last time I visited Harbin, and it was recommended by many people. The restaurant is like a small private museum, and there are exhibitions showing the life of a Russian woman in Harbin. I like it and hope you will like it.
