Had a lovely dinner at mainland China. Fine dining experience with delicious Chinese cuisine. Chinese tea was also served. For starters I ordered:
Teriyaki chicken& Jiangs Chilly chicken which was delicious and spicy.
Mushroom ginger chilly: was tasty but mushrooms were very tiny
Pan fried Asian chilly fish. Lip smacking!
For mains my choice was chicken in black pepper sauce, double spicy chengdu vegetables & chilli garlic noodles. The noodles were extra spicy with red chillies !
I also ordered 3 mocktails: mango, watermelon & litchi flavoured mocktail. Very refreshing
And ended the dinner with 2 desserts: chocolate dome with chocolate sauce. Which was delightfully melted in front of me
a sizzling brownie with vanilla Icecream and chocolate sauce. Very enjoyable meal ! The ambience and presentation is quite impressive

Have been dining at this chain since they opened in Kolkata decades back. This branch is no exception. Excellent food. Personal attention. Do try their seafood esp dishes like crab meat soup ,golden fried
prawns. Had buffet here a number of times . They put up a good sample of their dishes. If you really want delectable food go ala carte.
It has to be one of the finest ambiences in any Mainland China that I have seen. You will get a warm welcome and warm feeling as step into this place. It has been on my fav go-to list for a very long time now... the ambience is good and the food is great..!
The staff is courteous and I give them full marks. They never disappoint anytime. I am so regular at this place that some of the people already know what I order.
It kind of cgets crazy towards the weekends with families and groups coming in and the usual punjabi boisterous behaviour takes over. So I rather avoid the weekends as I like to have a quiet meal.
The food is great and being a frequent goer, I do get a feeling that the menu seems limited, but then most of the dishes are my favourites so I don't really care..
I would love to come back again and again...!!

Good food with good flavours. Tender chicken well cooked.
They followed the guidelines with the chefs, packaging guys and delivery boys temperature which is good.
Nice Place. Great Variety for non vegetarians also. Great place to enjoy in the company of friends. But then Corona came in😞.
Good food n ambience, Service is also nice
A place serves you with variety of Chinese food in one plate😍 An affordable buffet with exciting food😋 I had opted for non veg buffet; there were 6-7 starters.Most favorite of mine from starters were dumplings and chicken wings dipped in Chinese sauce.In main course I loved the noodles and the veg dumpling dipped in sauce gravy. Everything was just sooo tempting. Must visit 🌸. Mainland China Mainland China
An absolutely amazing experience. If you like authentic Chinese, then there is no better option in Chandigarh. Their buffet is an absolute value for money.
chowmein is tastu manchurian and honey chilli cauliflower and potato fingers are tasty.
MR SUBHRAJIT IS TO BE COMMENDED FOR HIS EXCELLENT HOSPITALITY ,CARE AND DEVOTION TO HIS CLIENTELE. PEOPLE REPEAT THEIR VISITS DUE TO HIS PRESENCE.....ABHA SHARMA AND VINOD K SHARMA ADVOCATE.....WELL DONE SUBHRAJIT YOU ROCK
Ambience is good. Since Cost is high you will only find classy people. A1 sensible family crowd. Authentic chinese. Preparation is great. Drink n Menu options are exhaustive.
great place to have either buffet or a la carte.. almost everything tastes good, so don't need to worry too much about ordering. the drinks are pretty good and affordable..and the cherry on the cake is the lady who sings magically every evening. all in all, a very fulfilling experience
Certainly the best Chinese food ever.
But I would also recommend the LIIT; better than most bars. And if you really are in the mood to try something then mix the LIIT with the bloody mary. I like to call it BLOOD ICED TEA😜😜😜.
We loved the singer, the food, and the service. Bravo!
Will definitely come back and tell our friends.

I loved my duck rolls and dimsums....... everything was wonderfully cooked and served.....much recommended always!
I have never been fond of Chinese food per se and it was only couple of days ago that I have tried Mainland China only because it was lunch- time in the Tribunal and Mainland China was right across the road from it. But I was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea that I could like Chinese food, esp. the veg one.
We ordered noodles with the vegetables on the side. The preparation was fresh, the service was prompt and the food quality was just marvelous. The sauce, chutney added a whole new dimension to the meal. The noodles were soft, and just melted while eating.
In the desserts, we ordered Mango pudding, and it just gave a fitting end to the meal something akin to a brilliant end to a story. An upscale restaurant offering both an executive dining experience as well as a semi- formal one, Mainland China is definitely worth exploring. It is a place for those wanting to host a small work engagement as well as enjoy a perfect meal.
chienes3 food lovers must visit here
so many varieties of dimsums. chowmein is tastu manchurian and honey chilli cauliflower and potato fingers are tasty.
Lovely ambience. Great Good. Good Music and warm staff. Chef Sokesh is truly good at work. Loved it. Thank you to Bipin and the staff.
I m big time lover for Chinese food..
Celebrated my mom's birthday here..
Really liked the ambience, the staff, Live music..
Food and drinks were really good.
But according to the prices I felt that the portion size of the dishes were really small.
I have always been a fan for food in Mainland China. I came here and my heart cried out. My expectation was very high and the food was only decent. I was expecting more. Food was good. Staff is polite and comforting. I was having the buffet. The range is good.
The mainland China is one of the best buffets in Chandigarh. The service here is quite fast. The starters especially the chat, papdi and golgappas are great. The main course has wide Chinese variety but the sweet dish is just awesome.
Um can u pls tell me price of veg lunch buffet and if there is a birthday if some benefit .....i am not able to find the price tell me on weekend and weekdays both. Are drinks included or they are not
I liked this place from interiors to the food. The service is awesome. I liked the flavours of the Chinese dey serve. Although a bit heavy on pockets. But eventually the taste makes up for everything!
If you love Chinese food+you want to have a fine dining experience this is the place you need. Great food great Ambience
I ordered hakka noodles
Ginger chicken
Pineapple ginger frappe and that was delicious
Absolutely love this place! It's the best place that I know of for Chinese cuisine. The food portions are big and prices are also decent. The restaurant's interior is quite refined. Staff is friendly
Authentic Chinese food!! My all time favourite. The staff is cordial , the ambience is pleasing! The high light is the panfried fish . The jasmine tea flavour lingers on for the rest of the day! A must visit joint
Mainland China, Chandigarh
This is a Oh My God kinda place for your chinese cravings.
Went for dinner and we had a lot from dimsums to starters and the main course.
We were a group of 8 people and was worth a try. The prices are reasonable .
Hospitality / taste / quality everything is a 5 star experience
Unfortunately couldn’t click pictures. Just try them once and you’ll love them.
Food is good and so is the service.. I have always been a fan of their buffet.. I'd hope for more variety in non alcoholic drinks.. Let there be less variety of flavored drinks and more of authentic ones...
Best and authentic chinese food ever. Though I have never visited China, but it gives the real feel of the chinese food. Variety of dishes and full of authentic flavours. You won't get such a taste anywhere else. The ambiance and customer service is also good. I would give it a four star
Best Chinese in the town. Service is really good. A girl sings in the evening that’s really nice unlike other places with so called noisy bands which gives you headache. You can enjoy music and a nice conversation with your friends or family.. their fudge brownie is awesome for dessert.
Order first time from this outlet. But very much impressed with the food quality & taste. Order both veg & non veg but veg dishes better than the non veg in taste. Very different taste from the regular Chinese food.
Lavish spread, exotic food cool ambience , courteous staff situated in my favourite city Chandigarh totally worth the money. I highly highly recommend mainland China
One of the best places in town to have good authentic food. Every thing is top notch from soups to dim sums to noodles and the desserts are stars💫. Sizzling brownie is my personal fav and a goto. My dates are always at mainland china ♥️♥️
Surely the mostAuthenticChinese in the region , they are a class apart in their food quality & also the staff do everything possible in human capacity to make you feel at home.
Great job guys , keep it up
Cheers
Love going to this place. Their presentation their decor their sitting is just appropriate. Whenever Chinese is in our mind this is the first option. Their serving is pretty good and sufficient.
We tried chilli chicken , chicken lollipop, manchow soup. And in main course garlic chicken noodles, hakka noodles, fried rice with hot and sour sauce. Simply amazing food
First visited mainland on 27th February 2018 and then again visited on 27th February 2019 for dinner. Chose to have buffet. Coming back to this place after a gap of a year but still they haven't lowered their food quality and the price of weekday dinner is fair enough and far higher quality of food in comparison with other buffet offering food and beverage outlets. We asked for a vegetarian chopsuey and they offered us complimentary. Would love to come back.
If you are a Chinese food lover then this place is for you. There buffet option is must have, you will get to taste every thing and also get idea what to order full plate 😉 Food is value for money.
Awesome place to have a nice chinese buffet with family/friends. One of the rarest chinese buffets places. They have maintained alomst the same price for so many years.
One of the first prime restaurants in Chandigarh, i have been visiting them for some odd 8 years now. I love their a la carte menu.
The lunch buffet lets you down some times.
Must try- the clay pot fish!!! Yummm
Best chinese food outlet you can find in town. Fantastic food options to choose from and value for money. They even have a buffet option and a must recommend if you are around. I have tried the buffet and order menu both.
My go to for Chinese food! They are the amongst the best Chinese places in town!
Infact the only place that serves delicious lettuce wraps, the good thing is the chef will always agree to customising something for you, even if it’s not on the menu! 👍🏻
Main land China
The best when it comes to Chinese/Oriental cuisine
My favourite since years
The afternoon buffet is worth the price
Like Great Wall of China they too have long way to go.
Zaìjiàn soon main land China.
This is ultimate Chinese food heaven !!
The best option is to opt for the buffet which lets you taste and sample a little but of everything. This has been my go to place for Chinese cravings for a while now and I have always come back home with all my Chinese food cravings satisfied and my belly full and happy .
I relished eating dim-sums, lamb meatballs with steamed rice and noodles, wantons, fish etc. Didn't find prawns to be particularly impressive. Overall the food was quite delicious and the staff was prompt and courteous.
One of the most authentic Chinese food places in Chandigarh. Amazing dumplings you can just sit and eat. A little expensive do but good place to sit and eat with your friends
If you are a hardcore Chinese food fan like me then Mainland China is the place to go.. their food is authentically Chinese and their buffet is simply fabulous.. u r spoilt for choice right from the word go.. their starters r scrumptious, mains r great and dessert specially darsan and caramel custard is to die for..(though their pastries were really dry and I would steer clear of them) staff is super courteous, friendly and helpful . Will def visit again
Chinese food is my first priority ✨😁. If i ever have a craving ti eat Chinese i always visit Mainland China their buffet are the best✨😁 especially the dinner buffet. Their crispy noodles are the best😋. The desert section is my all time favourite 😍 chocolate wontons is my favourite😁.
Their staff is professional ✨
Overall rating 5/5
I have cravings for Chinese food as always ....I ordered main course straight away ....I ordered veg Hakka noodles and exotic vegetables in chilli basil sauce ....it was so delicious ......mainland china is still the best place in Chinese in chd
Delicious.. We had noodles there... It was awesome with gravy!! It was nice visit!! I and my friend can't forget the taste of it. Even decoration over the plate was quite interesting!!
If you are a Chinese food lover, then u must visit this restaurant. A lot of variety in main coarse as well as in starters. One request that please also start table booking in weekends also
Great place, good ambience, excellent service and awesome food.. this sums up Mainland China. Highly recommended for authentic Chinese cuisines.
There is probably nothing about mainland china that has already not been said. Needless to say, authentic chinese is always welcome, however the Indian version of the Chinese food that we are used to having has probably made us more accustomed to spicy dishes.
This is why we did not like the thai dimsums and the basil dimsums as well because probably more used to having mainstream momos(??) Nevertheless, would certainly appreciate if the filling in the dimsums could be less spinachy and more veggie maybe
However, other things are big time favourites, no doubt. The noodles and the sizzling veggies, cottage cheese with sizzling veggies and rice in the edamame sauce along with the hot garlic sauce were on point.
Also, me and my friends really really liked the kimchi salad and the salad along with it. (not just because we were really hungry when we came, but also because it tasted really refreshing :)
Best Place to have oriental Food. Location is perfect at the most happening Block of sector 26.Ambience is also accordingly.
Food quality is awesome. Service is superb.
Had the dinner buffet at Mainland China. The food spread was really good and the food quality and the taste were also good. It was a Paisa Vasool deal for us. The service and the courtesy extended by the waiters were also remarkable.
Definitely recommend

Buffet is good if you want to explore the place for the first time and then on try on the alacarte once you get the hang of the location and it’s prep
Awesome place and you can visit for sm authentic asian food.I visited this place with zomato gold and its an icing on the cake. I will visit again 4 sure ✌
Great atmosphere, lovely environment , listen music while having food great experience, , as per as food is concerned fabulous dishes overall love it 😍☺️☺️ , service was good 👍
It’s one of the best places to have Dimsums & Chinese. The flavours & texture of dimsums is perfect, and the filling is delicious too. Thai curry is great with their special Fragrant Pot Rice (which smells amazing with star anise).
Okay. I have been to Mainland in every city, I have ever lived in and it's surprising how they maintain a consistency across their outlets; or maybe it is just me thinking that they do. Even on a busy evening, we got our seats pretty quick. We ordered for the Eight Treasure Seafood Soup, Wok Tossed Hakka Noodles and Sizzling Chicken in Chefs Special Sauce. The food was amazing, I highly recommend the soup for someone trying to figure out an appetizer. The service was prompt and ambience peaceful!
Very good location and ambience, good staff and, good variety of food and desserts. Taste is however not that great, heavy use of cornflour in almost everything you eat, thus making you feel full easily and also compromising on the taste. Wish they improve on it to make it a great place to visit.
It was a good experience visiting Mainland China in Chandigarh. The only problem I faced was due to the lack of preparation on the part of restaurant. Many dishes were not available. The ambience was good but it wasn't distinctive, you'll find similar ambience in most nearby restaurants in Sector 26, Chandigarh.
In fact, Mainland China, Chennai has got quite an oriental feel and will score better than this one even on food front.
All in all, it's a good place.
They serve good Chinese food ... I know there are other Chinese restaurants also ... but mainland China is a calming place ...I truly enjoy my food here ... plus they don’t make food unnecessary spicy ... like kylin ( Elante )
Tried Chilli garlic noodles with King Prawns in thai curry. Perfectly balanced Chinese food with authentic flavours and fresh ingredients. Drums of heaven - to die for 😍
What a fine dine when you are in mood of Chinese or Thai food. Been here twice in a month now, on different days of the week, so can comment on the service, quality, quantity.
Weekend dinners are usually crowded so would recommend you to make a reservation before you go. When I went on a Friday evening, people were waiting. I had made the reservation from the google "reserve a table" option.
Talking about the service part: It's exceptional. Food was served quickly, staff was quick to change plates between starters and main course and staff was there to serve each dish and welcomed every feedback.
Talking about quality, the dishes I have tried chicken dishes only. Fresh and juicy chicken. Unable to remember the dishes by name. Will update the review next time I visit.
Quantity: For two people you can feel satisfied with one starter, one main course dish (chicken + Noodles of your choice).
Price point: Without drinks, We got a bill of 900 for two people which I would say is pretty affordable.
Mainland China is my go to place for Chinese cuisine in Tricity. They serve spectacular Chinese food at affordable prices. The ambiance of the place is very welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. The seating arrangements are comfortable and spacious, providing privacy for each table. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained.
The "Ginger Pineapple mocktail" was refreshing and had a perfect blend of ginger and pineapple flavors. The "Eight Treasure Chicken soup" was flavorful and had generous portions of chicken and vegetables. The " Basil Flavored Vegetables dimsums" were steaming hot, delicious, and had a perfect blend of spices and herbs.
The highlight of the meal was the "Mango pudding" , which was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Overall, Mainland China is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves Chinese cuisine. The quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service make it a great dining experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Chinese food in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
After placing the regional food of Calcutta on the Culinary map of India, Oh! Calcutta made its way to the gourmet city of Chandigarh.
The restaurant is located in the same building of Mainland China in Sector 26, Chandigarh.
While the different flavours of other regions of India were always present in some form or the other throughout the country, it was the vision of Chef-turned-leading Indian restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee, who strongly believed that the unique flavours of a 300-year-old cuisine needed to be explored.
I visited them a few days ago to try out some of their specialities. The best part was the usage of authentic, sourced ingredients from West Bengal. I started off my lunch with their Banana Floret Tikki, Prawn Cutlet and Calcutta mustard paneer tikka.
All the items were top notch. My personal pick had to be their Prawn cutlet. The patty was super flavourful and juicy. Next up, for mains, I had their Slow cooked Bhuna mutton, Prawn and coconut malai curry, Kolkata chicken biryani and Mango mustard okra.
The mutton was the show stopper of the afternoon. I had never tried such amazing mutton in Chandigarh so far. The spice level was quite moderate and the mutton quality used was spot on.
Pair it up with the Luchi or Bengali version of a poori and you will up for a treat certainly. The prawn and coconut malai curry was another glorious dish which had a very nice flavor of the coconut milk and gondhoraj lemon. Highly recommended.
The Mango mustard okra was another dish that stood out of the menu. Very interesting taste.
To end things on a sweet note, I had their Steamed mango mishti doi and steamed sondesh. My pick had to be their steamed mango mishti doi with chopped mangoes on the top. The tanginess of the doi was evenly cut with the sweetness of the mango.
Overall, I would be visiting them over yet again to try out their Mutton and prawn cutlet. Happy eating.
After a good foot and Head massage felt really hungry so found this place nearby in Sector 26. Cool ambience. Welcoming reception. Great host to serve and guide you in choosing the food. Food was really great, tasty and delicious. Good portion sizes. Selection of drinks is good. Bal krishan and Abhi served with a smile and spirit of excellence. Enjoyed our afternoon meal thoroughly.
Ambience is good. Since Cost is high you will only find classy people. A1 sensible family crowd. Authentic chinese. Preparation is great. Drink n Menu options are exhaustive.
Chinese Cuisine At It's Best !!!!!
Visited Mainland China after years galore. However, the experience was as delightful, as ot was on my first rendevous with this Chinese Hub. Relished a galore of dishes which were all flavoured to the Core. A brief on what all I gulped down :-
1. Jiangs Chilli Chicken - Forget the Jiangs & its your typical Chilli Chicken which is indeed full of flavours & would suit any taste bud. The right spices blended together to make that perfect Chilli Chicken which you would always Crave For. Order this & you wouldn't go wrong with it.
2. Chicken Taipei - Crispy chicken served with crunchy veggies with a peculiar taste. It was great.
3. Fish Pepper Garlic - The fish tasted quite fresh. Extremely delicious. Liked the 3Ts - Texture, Taste & Tender. Awesome dish.
4. Singapore Chilli Prawns - I have the love for Prawns. Tried this one & didn't regret a bit. Super flavours there. Prawns seemed of good quality. Loved them.
5. Chilli Garlic Noodles - Medium Spicy. Not much of chillies & garlic there as I was expecting it to be. This dish could have been better, but it was still decent enough.
The portion size was pretty adequate. The two of us had our fill & were still left with loads of food which we had to pack.
Overall I must try place to lunch or dine in. Loved it & strongly recommended.
Regards
Great food, good ambiance, courteous staff is all u can say about the place. The buffet they serve is with msg and the menu food can be prepared without msg. The food taste is awesome especially the eight treasure soup, star fried rice, dim sums, lettuce wraps, lamb in black pepper sauce and general tso’s chicken. Although the place requires renovation but overall a good experience.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chandigarh.we had been there many times.all the stuffs are too good. Try drums of heaven. You can try bengoli cuisine also there in oh Calcutta
nch | ₹1,600–1,800
Mainland China is my go to place for Chinese cuisine in Tricity. They serve spectacular Chinese food at affordable prices. The ambiance of the place is very welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. The seating arrangements are
The ambience of Mainland China is mesmerising and it gives totally Asian vibes (well, of course). The food is amazing and worth a try! We had Crab Chicken and Dragon Chilli Fish along with Rice and 2 Noodles and it was sufficient for 5 people.
The crab was delicious and so was the Chilli Fish.
It was all very spicy just the way we love it! You can ask the dishes to be less spicy as well.
The manager was kind to us too and very generous. The washroom was clean and hygienic. There is also a Bar with Live Music in the Basement and we could hear the Singer's voice from where we were seated, on the ground floor.
We didn't try the Buffet there but it seemed really beautiful and mouth watering! Pre-booking is preferred there as it's almost always packed!
A place to go for Asian food lovers!
