Mainland China

Nice atmosphere..!! Very good and disciplined service the way it was expected to be, curtious staffs and they keep ensuring that customers have a nice dining experience. Coming to the food, we ordered hakka chow and a side dish of chiken. The order was simple but they made it special for us. Taste was awesome and they suggested a mocktail with smoke on top of it which was a delight "pls excuse me as i don't remember the names of the dish". to end our meal we added ice cream. Ice cream had choclate rolls at the bottom wrapped with wafer sticks and a vanilla ball on top of it. As it was our anniversary to make things even more memorable they arranged a cake for us.. So overall it was an awesome experience.. However if you come by car, parking might be a challange !!�;->

The food is extremely tasty and delicious and hygienic. The menu is wholesome whether it be the starters or the main course or the dessert. The staffs are equally cordial. The experience is great. Love visiting this place. My favourite chinese food buffet in this city ❤️

Savour the Best of Mainland China in a grand Ten Course Lunch & Dinner only @ Rs. 645/-


Undoubtedly the holy grail for Chinese and Oriental Food in the city of Joy, Mainland China is one name which is as synonymous, as is Roshogolla is perhaps to the legacy of this city. For reasons uncomprehended, Mainland China has always been the forefront of some of the best fine dining restaurants this city has to offer. However, more than the ambiance, location or service, it is always the food which wins here, and beckons countless of masses to have a grab of their offerings, atleast once a month! The inert subtlety of the flavours, the use of the exotic, yet the simple-tasting spices, and the love and affection which goes in behind the preparation of every dish, is indeed unmatched!

With the current and ongoing situation of pandemic, it is however hard to spend the way, we may have used to even a couple of months before. Things are tight, and not everything is possible to do the way we would want them to happen. Perhaps this is the reason why, the restaurant is offering a “Best of Mainland China”, in the form of a su0mptuous and mouthwatering ten course lunch and dinner, at a throwaway price of Rs. 645/- only. Ranging from delicious soups, and then moving on to fingerlicking starters, you get the option of devouring lavish main course meals, before finally ending up with some delectable and soul-seeking desserts.

You can start with the delicious Lung Fong Soup, which is ideally a thick soup, full of diced vegetables. For alternate versions, there are ones with meat, with Mainland China offering the variation of a Chicken Lung Fong Soup. With the egg whites floating on the top like thick dense clouds, the cinematic view of this soup is as good as the taste it offers. As you sip in your way through this delectable soup, thin translucent dumplings will make your way on to the table. Again, with the option of choosing between the vegetarian version and the chicken, the flavour will numb your senses, with the fresh chives and basil complementing each other well.

Dip in to the popular chili oil and you would get transported to heaven, all in an instant. What amazed me the most, was the thin wrapper surrounding the dumplings. These were juicy, watery and full of exotic, yet simple flavours to make you all you may want from this place. For appetizers, we chose the Diced Chicken in Assorted Peppers, which had a clear and prominent use of soy, oyster sauce and vinegar, used to combine the flavours of the fresh peppers and the juicy chicken. Tuck in your mouth the caramelized onions, or if you are a vegetarian, opt for their crispy chilli potatoes. Diced, long-cut potatoes, batter fried, and tossed in a sweet chilli sauce, is as good as it can get!

For mains, the Chicken in Roasted Garlic was an absolute lipsmacker. The prominent flavours of garlic seeped in to the chicken, with the sauce being light and aromatic, and pairing perfectly with the Celery and Chinese Cabbage Fried Rice. It was a holy grail of combination, much like the light broth sweet and sour Mandarin Fish along with the Wok Tossed Vegetarian Hakka Noodles. The cornflour tossed fish cubes, had soaked in a substantial portion of the juice from the gravy, thus creating an explosion of flavours in the mouth. For the rest, you can dig into the Stir-Fried Chinese Greens, or if you are a vegetarian, you get the option to savour Corn and Potatoes in Black Pepper Sauce.

Do try their Stir Fried Veg and Cottage Cheese with Roasted Garlic as well, the vegetarian version to the one with Chicken. This would go perfectly well, both with the Celery and Chinese Cabbage Fried Rice or the Wok Tossed Veg Hakka Noodles. Finish up your meal with the quintessential Honey Noodles aka Darsaan, with its wonderful crispy, sticky and sweet texture, combined with the vanilla ice cream ending the meal on a sweet note. My favourite was however the delectable Chocolate Rolls. A mix of crushed coconut and cocoa wrapped inside a batter and deep fried until light brown. Some sweet sugar glaze poured from the top, and a slight drizzle of a rich chocolate syrup.

Perhaps, the best way you can possibly end up your meal! Do not worry about the sanitization process and the safety standards, as utmost precautions and care are being taken to ensure everything is handled well. The staffs are wearing masks and face shields, and the use of hand sanitizers are given paramount importance. With the much throwaway pricing of Rs. 645, you can also add up prawns in a sauce of your choice for only Rs. 119, or order a mocktail for Rs. 99, and can even opt for a bottle of Aerated Water for Rs. 449/-. The Government Taxes, do come extra!

Tantalize your tastebuds with the Alluring Seafood & Wine Festival @ Mainland China.!

If Kolkata has a place in the culinary and gastronomical landscape of this world, Mainland China would undoubtedly be in the forefront of having contributed largely to that success and fame. Part of the famed Speciality Restaurants, their original outlet at Gurusaday Road is often frequented by those craving for near-perfect authentic Chinese flavours. Since long, this place has been a mecca for foodies and food lovers, trying to sample Chinese and Oriental food without having stepped into a different country. Always leading by example, this fine-dining restaurant excels in quality, having served many with their finest dispositions of ingredients.

What better way to combine the finesse for food possessed here by the highly qualified Master Chef’s. with the intense obsession most of the people of Kolkata possess for seafood. Ask any Bong, whether he resides in the urban Kolkata, or even in the rural villages, fish and rice has to be their staple food, every day, counting to 30 days of the month. Prawns, Crabs, Fish; we get treated to the own masterchef classes by our mothers with a mix of their traditional way of cooking seafood, combined with some of the new techniques now slowly being adapted by many. Whether you love it the traditional way with a mix of Panchphoron, or in the Oriental way with a mix of herbs and Asian spices, our love for seafood can only be compared with our immense love for seafood.

If you love to travel, with most of our friendly states in India graced by a coastline and with the oceans surrounding the land, seafood is widely abundant in most places of India, with them and the most of the rest being a similar fanatic towards the love for seafood. Mainland China is currently celebrating this undeniable bond, by hosting a seafood and wine festival at their Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Noida branches, where the freshest catch of the day is carefully tampered with select spices and then grilled, slow cooked or fried to perfection. Crab, Shrimp, Lobster, Prawn, Fish; you name it, and there’s a masterchef preparation waiting right for you to devour and experience the sensation of fine cooking.

We started off with a squid preparation, which had fresh caught squids in a tempura batter which was fried in butter and their flavour enhanced with a slight sprinkle of curry leaves. This gave the fineness of the tempura batter, combined with the freshness of the squid and the crispiness of the batter, further complemented by the rustic flavours of the curry leaves. Next to come was the crispy Bombay Duck, which is otherwise locally known as Loytta fish. This preparation saw a finely minced meat of the fish, flavoured with spices, which was then given the shape of a finger, and then deep fried within a batter of bread crumbs.

Ideally a Loytta fish fry, if I have to call it in simple terms, this was served with a mildly spicy Sriracha dip, which is a generalized term for the chillies which grown in the region of Sriracha in Thailand. Moving on, we gladly devoured the crab claws, which had the juicy and tender meat in and around the claw area of the crab deep fried within a layer of bread crumbs, and served with Sambal Salsa, a fingerlicking lip made out of varying peppers along with ginger, garlic, scallion, shrimp paste and various other ingredients. Sticking to crabs, we were served with a Singapore Chilli Crab, which had mud crabs stir fried and tossed in a sweet and chilli tomato sauce. A sweet and savoury dip, layering the entire crab, the consistency and flavours emitting out of the sauce was as good as it could get.

Moving on to fish, the Grilled Fish cakes with Lime and Coconut literally blew us over. A mix of fish meat with ginger, garlic, horseradish, crushed coconut and a drizzle of lime was grilled to light brown, so as not to overly cook the fish and thereby retain the flavours within. Next to come was a medium sized lobster, tossed and cooked slowly with a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce. For the last two appetizers, we had a prawn dumpling, poached and gently cooked in a spicy Szechuan sauce, and succulent and soft shrimps along with crab meat, cooked in a roasted garlic sauce. Finely done, the creamy roasted garlic sauce complemented well the succulent textures of both the meat.

Moving on to the maincourse, we had a Nile perch, which is ideally a large mouthed freshwater fish, also known as the African snook or the Victoria perch and commonly found in the Afrotropic Ecozone, sliced up and cooked in a chilli cinnamon sauce. Having a moist texture like the seabass, the chilli cinnamon sauce was definitely to our liking, with the quantity of the cinnamon being used just right, so as not to make the dish overly sweet. A rather rustic preparation to follow next, we had the juicy shrimp tossed with the herby lemongrass and basil, and flavoured with the spiciness of the chillies. This was followed by clams, stir fried and tossed in spicy black bean sauce.

The Pomfret Miso Chilli presented the earthy flavours from the fermented soyabeans, with the chillies balancing the sweetness from its counterpart, making the dish a sweet and spicy, enhancing and penetrating the soft and flaky Pomfret fish. Fish with Orange and Black Bean and Fresh Bhetki in Mandarin Sauce were like two sides of the same coin, with the former having the rusticity and earthiness from the black beans, to be enhanced by the citric and sweet textures of the oranges, while the latter, had fresh bhetki of the day cooked in a sweet and salty Mandarin sauce, courtesy to the contribution of the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and the brown sugar.

All of these sumptuous and wonderful maincourse preparations were paired with Fukien styled Crab meat Fried Rice, which was ideally a popular Cantonese wok-styled fried rice, with the pouring of a rich and flavourful gravy on the top. For other choices, we tried another Cantonese styled fried rice, flavoured with shrimps, celery and garlic. For the last staple of the day, we were presented with the Shanghai seafood noodles, a variety of noodles which has its origin in the Shanghai region of China. This has a slight thicker texture than the regular ones we have in India. These noodles were tossed with an equal popular seafood sauce, with the umami emancipating from this sauce, i.e. the XO Sauce setting the mood for the day.

This festival, as mentioned above, has already commenced from the 5th of December, 2019, and will continue till the 22nd of December, 2019. One can pair the exotic seafood with a glass of red wine to quench your thirsty senses, which ironically seems to be a perfect compliment to the array of the huge and well spread mouthwatering seafood fest which awaits you at Mainland China. Sula Satori Tempranillo, Sula Chenin Blanc, Sula Cabernet Shiraz and Sula Sauvignon Blanc will be there to up for grabs. Apart from these, you can also try the signature mocktails and cocktails available here. Our pick for the day was Vodka Litchi and Kaffir Lime Mojito and Watermelon Basil Crush.

Some of the dishes are particular to a city and may be unavailable elsewhere. Do ring up your nearest branch in the participating cities, prior venturing out for your gastronomic endeavors!

Visited this place for an office get together with colleagues. They arranged a separate enclosure for our team of 20 people. The environment is cozy and staff are extremely helpful. They served us the starters and mocktail in the table and we kept ordering to serve the starters repeatedly. They served us with extremely polite gesture. The starters were warm, crispy, spicy and delicious. Chicken and fishes in different sauces were served in starter. The main course was also huge. From different chicken fish crab and prawn items in different gravy were served. Being a fan of starter, we were mostly full with the starters. After spending some time with main course, shifted to the colorful dessert platters. At last they served the complimentary cokes and we left the premises burping with lots of good memories.

I chose this place over the Spring Club outlet (which is closer to my home) just because I never visited here and it was the first Mainland China in town and got praised on The Telegraph back then. They had a huge rush and maybe because it was a weekend. I went to celebrate my Anniversary. The staff were as polite as always but they were definitely in hurry. The toilet is bit smaller compared to the restaurant guest capacity but ambiance was good as always. For some reason I did not feel that awe factor about the food. The menu got changed from 2019 and I must say it was better back then. The menu they have now is quite obvious and almost available elsewhere. We ordered duck in plum sauce, sichuan numbing chicken, fried Calamari, prawn sui mai, mixed rice noodle and hot garlic lamb in the main course. The sichuan numbing chicken was not numbing or spicy at all. Duck was really nice and so was the lamb. Noodle was good but may be I had a high expectation from mainland China. I wish they bring back the pitcher option for mocktails like before.

One of the best Indo-Chinese restaurants I've ever had. Each and every dish I've had was top-notch. Besides, the waiters were so hospitable that they gave us a complimentary birthday cake for my friend since I was celebrating her pre-birthday celebration. The dimsums were my favourite out of the lot. Besides, the fried rice, noodles, a preparation of fish and chicken (which I'm not able to recall at the moment) were amazing too!

Had an amazing lunch buffet at rs 745 yesterday This is one of the longest buffet I have had And it is available on Tuesday and Thursday Lunch time only on this outlet The food we had is absolutely delicious . Variety is huge . For the starters, main course and desserts also we got selected fruits to start our meal . I don’t have to say anything new about the ambiance as well as the service Since it’s a part of the specialty you will feel special as soon as you enter The hospitality and service was very welcoming We enjoyed our meal and experience. Such a pleasure to visit this place
