What is our favourite thing about this place? For those who steer clear of pork, there are chicken yam wontons, which are tender and flavourful wontons filled with delectable minced chicken; there is also chicken in sweet garlic sauce; and there is chicken hamchoy rice, which is a whole meal in and of itself—steamed rice coated with a unique gravy of chicken and hamchoy.

Monica Liu, often known as the "Don of China Town," has done a fantastic job with Mandarin Restaurant, which is located at the intersection of Southern Avenue and Sarat Bose Road. It has a classic Cantonese charm, but what about the cuisine? Fire, fire, fire. Cantonese noodles with their original green chilli sauce, prawn rice noodles, and crunchy chilli garlic fish. And the lemon garlic chicken, which is crispy and sticky? Chef's kiss.

As an interesting side note, Monica Liu, the owner of Kim Ling, Beijing, Tung Fong, and Mandarin with another branch on Lake Avenue, began her gastronomic career by preparing momos with her sister following her family's unlawful detention during the 1962 Indo-China War. She resisted local thugs attempting to get free lunches at Kim Ling in 1991. It's safe to say that she constructed her massive empire through one meal at a time!

One of Kolkata's most prestigious Chinese restaurants is Chinoiserie. In fact, it continues to be an absolute favourite for many of the folks I know. Well known for its excellent line of furniture, accessories, and décor, eat the most unusual and authentic meals at this five-star restaurant. The soup with crab meat and onions is thick and full of starch. The pan-fried chilly fish is hot and has a flavour of soy sauce, bell pepper, and bits. Next, try the Sichuan crispy potato, which is the epitome of chatpataa, the Gui Zou fish, or fish in black bean sauce, and the prawns with chilly butter garlic. 

Now, for the ultimate gourmet experience, order the Ginger and Wine Lamb—Lo shou lamb. This lamb shreds nicely and is quite tender. The taste of the light brownish sauce is rather pleasing. When combined with mixed meifoon, it leaves a gastronomic afterglow. Try the mapo tofu, Malha-seasoned sliced fish, and quick-fried lamb with cumin and onion if you want to go all out. Dessert options include iced lychee, toffee walnut, homemade ice cream, Chinese pine nut pancake, date pancake, or adzuki bean pancake.

While few restaurants in Tangra nowadays still manage to make excellent food, Beijing is one of them. Tangra is well renowned for being the birthplace of Chinese and Indo-Chinese cuisine in Kolkata. The fried wontons and golden shrimp deserve special recognition. 

Really delicious quantities with a nostalgic flavour reminiscent of our childhood Chinese food. The Thai soup is also delicious, a little acidic, and the chicken hakka noodles and chilli chicken were just right!

We definitely benefit from this location when it comes to the list of the best Chinese restaurants in Kolkata. Both the cuisine and the atmosphere here are excellent. The mixed chimney soup would undoubtedly be our choice. Also, the restaurant's chimney soup has been well-known since 1994! This is served in a chimney and includes glass noodles, prawns, fish, and a variety of veggies. This meal is so large that it should be shared by four to five people. Not to be missed are the delectable appetisers of chilli prawns. It is made up of large prawns that have been battered, deep-fried, and then mixed in some cold sauce. They have a burst of spice and are crunchy. 

Thread chicken, which is deeply fried chicken that has been finely chopped and coated, is best served hot with sauce. As for the main course, Shanghai chicken and vegetable fried rice with chicken noodles. The Shanghai chicken has a lot of taste and is spicy. This will go well with either rice or noodles.
