Eau Chew is probably the oldest chinese restaurant in town, and it's surviving so long. We had a visit in the evening, it was completely vacant though that time. As the offices go off, the crowd starts to join here for the very famous Josephine Chimney soup or noodles. The pork dishes are really yummy. This place is cost effective too. The ambience is very calm, service is pretty fast.
It's an authentic Chinese restaurant... They have their own style of preparation that will give a vibe of true Chinese cuisine... Noodles and schezwan chicken were awesome... Price is slightly high...
Note:- they don't accept any card or you payment. They accept only cash.
What is meaning of authenticate Chinese dish today I have understood after reaching to this place. The place is not well decor or there is no high quality dishes are served they only serve the purest Chinese food which is actually less spicy. The phrase'never judge a book by its cover' actually true for this because by seeing the place you may be think that it can't be full fill your taste buds but give them a chance honestly they will not disappoint you. Okay so I had ordered
1.chimney soup-this is the dish which serve very rearly in kolkata. I think only this place serve this till now. This is basically a broth with your choiceable meats and eggs, prawns, veggies. It's there speciality so if you come here please try this. But if you are 4-5 people then I think you should order it because it came in a very large quality.
2.eau cheu special fried rice-actual fried rice should have a charocoal flavour which this rice had. And also its served with a water poach which took my heart.
3.eau chew special meifoon-as we know that meifoon means rice noodles so the noodles was also very good and so soft and thin that it's just awesome.for side dishes we had ordered
4. Sweet and sour fish-for side dish you have n option of taking half plate or full plate. So I took half plate of this fish. The fish was no doubt original vetki because the fish had all the flavor of vetki. The fish was fried with a coating but still the fish was so fresh full of flavour and also juicey. The veggies which are added to that dish were just tossed on flame and put on the dish that's why they were also adding there flavors to that dish.
5.szechwan chicken-all other Chinese restro serve this dish with lots of red colour that's why many people avoid this dish but here there Funda is different they serve this dish as hot as other restro but they use szechwan pepper instead of any chillis or red sauce or any red colour. That's the actual centre of attraction of this dish. The chicken was also cooked crispy outside juicey inside.
There main moto is to serve the lightest food. I like to eat the spicy food but this restro took my heart by serving this kind of food. Their foods are really very different from any other Chinese restro. I am highly recommending this place to everyone please come and enjoy some old authentic Chinese dishes in Kolkata. This place is a hidden gem.
Loved this place, not only for the honest food, but also for the experience.
A small place bigger than a hole in the wall, not advertising beyond a lighted signboard, distinguished only by their food, a lineage of a hundred years and multiple generations, and a dogged decision to stick to good chinese food and resist the Indian influences - what can be more romantic than that.
The food was superb, subtly spiced and delicious. Liked the dedication of the third generation to persist with this even though they have alternatives.
But it may not hurt to move with the times. Smaller portions lower priced would help us try out more options. Helping the customers with advice on the different dishes would too.
Good food and courteous staff. The ambience is all right nothing too much. If you are planning for a small dinner with family or friends and you like authentic chinese good then this place is the right choice for you. Now for the food,
We ordered
Chimney soup(medium)- 5/5
Loaded with prawn, chicken, fish is the best dish according to me that is served here. Loved the broth😍. Serves 4 people
Chicken fried rice- 3.5/5
Nothing extraordinary. But you are expecting more after such a soup.
Chicken Manchurian- 4/5
Soft, juicy chicken pieces was truly a treat for the taste buds.
Pork Manchurian- 2.5/5
This is a place i think they need to work more hard as the pieces were s bit chewy and bit shallow tasting.
Only thing to remember this is a family run restaurant so give a call before visiting as they have strict timings.
Eau Chew has been around for several decades. On a quiet Thursday night we made our way up the steep stairs and took one of the many empty tables in the establishment. We ordered chicken sweet corn soup, chicken egg gravy noodles and dry chilli chicken. The food was wholesome and filling being as close to authentic Chinese as can be.
Hidden among the lanes of Dalhousie close to the crossing between C.R Avenue and R.N Mukherjee Road in the second floor of an age old building, this place is truly a hidden gem. We ordered Josephine noodles, Josephine rice, Spring chicken, Garlic chicken and Fried Soya fish. Quantity of each dish is a lot and based on that the price is very reasonable. This place is recommended for anyone who likes authentic chinese food from a traditional family owned restaurant.
Awesome place near Chandni Chowk metro station for the best authentic Chinese cuisines. We ordered medium Chimney soup and roast chili pork. The quantity of food was too much for 2 people, but the taste was amazing. Do not expect jazzy ambience. It's a simple place that serves extraordinary food at very reasonable prices.
An excellent place for authentic Chinese dishes. Located very near to chandni chowk metro station. It is almost 93 years old. Last evening I went there with a large group of almost 9 people. We ordered Fried fish and Chimney Soup (large) in the starter. Then in main course we ordered Joseph's noodles and Joseph's rice, Rosted chili pork, Fish Bob choy, Chili garlic chicken and chicken Manchurian, and finally sweet and salty lime soda. All items were perfect. Fish was very fresh. All items are non spicy and healthy and tasted very well. With minimum decor they paid attention in the quality of food. The place is ideal for group of people.
The food items were really good, even the fresh lime soda was good too - it was not like the normal soda that other restaurants offer. All the food items were delicious.
The items that we had are -
1. Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken (Rs. 522)
2. Fresh Lime Soda (Rs. 127)
3. Fish Finger - 10Pcs. (Rs. 689)
4. Mixed Fried Rice (Rs. 254)
5. Manchurian Chicken (Rs. 522)
6. Fish in Oyster Sauce (Rs. 689)
Tung Fong is certainly the best Chinese Restaurant that I've ever visited.
Situated at a prime location, this restaurant is highly recommended for its Chinese dishes.
For starters, we had Butter Pepper Garlic chicken (10/10), golden fried prawn (8/10) as the prawn size was not big with respect to the price.
For the main course, we had mixed fried rice, mixed chowmein, Hot garlic fish and Kung pao chicken. Please note they serve mutton slices in mixed fried rice. Quantity and quality wise, I will give 10/10.
We had a couple of drinks like Cosmopolitan, Ballantine and Chivas Regal.
The ambience is nice and if you are a group of 6-7, then there's a chance you will be seated in a round table where you can rotate the table top. That is really thoughtful as there are times when we need to pass the food to others at the table.
The waiters were nice and suggested as per our taste. They are really helpful.
Per person cost:
With drinks - Rs. 1142 approx
Without drinks - Rs. 500-600 approx
Overall, the restaurant is top-notch and the price was moderate. Be sure to visit.
Tung Fong is a popular Chinese Themed Restaurant in Park Street and like most restaurants in that area, Tung Fong is also a Hidden Gem.
It has a grandiose ambiance with fine architecture and a grand golden sphere on the centre top of the restaurant.
The food is very tasty and the service is helpful as well.
This is definitely a good restaurant, especially for people who like Chinese Food.
The food is good only it doesn't accommodate you well, this is our annual puja dining space my family loves it here and so do i. I would always recommend this place for authentic as well as the best chinese in town!
Food is good. Service average. Parking can be an Issue on weekends around park street area.
Cost for 2 pax - 1.8k
Bon appetit 🤤
The place is great, the atmosphere is pleasant and very calm. One of old Kolkata places, you can't miss out on it. The drinks are cheaper than you'd expect, but the cocktails are not up to standard. The food is pretty good. The service is a bit lazy. But overall, great.
It's your typical classical Park Street Restaurant.
Highly recommended chinese cuisine place of Park Street.The old Calcuttan vibe is perfect to spend a quality time and have some booze as well and food quality and as well as quantity are pretty decent.

Overall its a lovely places for all foodies...
The place is nice and spacious..I went with group of friends and enjoyed a lot..the round table at centre is a catch..service was promt..food was tasty..wat else one can expect from a dine out..
Ambience is good. You can enjoy food with family and friend as well. A signature chinese eatery of Park street area. However, food is very much average. Service is good, though not that best and quick as you expect. Though a must visit place, some items will not satisfy your chinese hunger.
It's a very well known place for it's chinese dish
Overall experience was nice ... A very traditional place and the decoration was so aesthetic
The quantity was not too much according to it's price ....
