China Wok

The importance of food in understanding human culture lies precisely in its infinite variability, its different cuisines and Chinese food is definitely a must try always.

In Chinese we say, "Eat in Guangzhou, dress in Shanghai, eat and dress in Wuhan."

Well, I am enjoying the beautiful pandals of Kolkata. But a part of me also craves for some authentic Chinese food. Being far from these places I took a foodie halt at China Wok, Kolkata.

@ China Wok

Located in the heart of the city, near Hindustan Park, this place is known for its Thai and Chinese cuisine. We went to try this place during the puja time when undoubtedly there was a huge rush. The indoor seating arrangement is made on the first floor with not more than 4 tables, having a total seating capacity of approx 20 people. The interiors are well lighted, cozy and comfortable with famous quotes all around. The waiters are friendly and ready to help always.  But I was disappointed to see the stairs that led to it. It was too small.

This place doesn’t provide a sophisticated seating on the outdoor as well. It has only 2 tables under an umbrella, with an approx seating capacity of 6 people.

All my annoyance melted on timely arrival of our first dish VEG HAKKA NOODLES. It was delicately sprinkled with spices and veges. Flavourful enough to transport me back to the land of china. Though the quantity seemed a little less to me but its taste made up for all the disappointment.

Rating for veg hakka noodles- 5/5

Along with it we had ordered DICED CHICKEN WITH OYSTER SAUCE which was equally amazing. It was indeed a delightful treat. The oyster sauce was rich, flavourful and had the right consistency. Chicken was also equally balanced in flavours and overall it tasted yum.

Next we ordered SINGAPORE RICE NOODLES. It was undoubtedly good but I was expecting more by now. It was appropriately sprinkled with vegetables. Rice noodles where well cooked as it should be, so I can safely give it a rating of 3.5/5

Along with this we had ordered a THAI RED CURRY. The waiters had informed us earlier that it would be spicy but it turned out to be too sweet. I doubt, if they had used a lot of coconut to cook it thus adding to its sweetness. We were utterly annoyed. The idea of a sweet curry does not suit our palate at all.

Cost-₹ 1110 for this experience is not applauded by me therefore I don’t find it pocket friendly as well.

Final rating- 3/5
