This is a small Chinese restaurant in Chowringhee that my father has been taking me since I was a kid. I still visit this restaurant every time I go to Kolkata. Like a true fan of Kolkata Chinese, I absolutely love their chicken Hakka chowmein and chilli chicken. Over the years I have eaten in many many restaurants around the world, but restaurants like this hold a special place in your heart.
food is quite good at all..and very very budget in price ...quantity is also okay ...main thing is quality and the quality is taste wise good but too much spicy.......
My mom introduced me to this place and she used to visit since her college days. The food is to die for. Please maintain the standard and yes will see you soon. I am out of Calcutta for the last 20 years. And will be back n3xt week.
Really a good place with Chinese delicacy. The place is quite gloomy. But the service manual was much satisfying. The food items were mouth watering.
Well It is located near the shahara building opposite of Neheru Children academy. The inner decor is not so cool. Even the don't accept any card payment. this was a disappointment. But the taste of food made me forget about all the disappointment. We ordered mixed fried rice and garlic chicken. Quantity wise and taste wise it was amazing what I didn't expect. Though It was delicious but the cost was high for that quality.
Old and authentic restaurant. Love their pork items specially chilli pork. It melts in your mouth. Their chilli pork is lil bit different from other restaurants. ❤
One of kolkata's oldest Chinese restaurants. Upon entering the place the first impression is not very pleasant to be frank. But this place has seen batter days. Whatever the cause of its sorry state maybe, till date the Chinese owner has managed to keep its regular visitors honest. The food, needless to say is the main attraction. Although its menu has diminished since its glory days, but the authenticity of the dishes made today is still the same. Very few of Kolkata's Chinese restaurants serve such authentic chinese food. If you are around chowringee or at Nandan and looking for a place to have chinese you should give it a try. One reminder though. On weekdays its hard to get a table during lunch time because of the shortage of tables and high number of office people coming here for lunch.
A small restaurant beside Bishop's house. After Pandal hopping when we were hungry that time I found that place. Good food really we ordered mixed fried rice and Schezwan Chicken which we really enjoy.
thank you
Authentic Chinese cuisine.. momos were freshly steamed.... Service Excellent... Affordable... Nice Chinese ambience... Loved it ! Will definitely return...

A small Chinese restaurant which is not at all classy when it comes to ambience but still deserves a mention for its awesome food served. Ordered Manchurian chicken and steamed rice which were really delicious. A must visit if one loves Chinese food!
A very old joint in chowranghee area which serves authentic chinese food.they don t' use tasting salt but taste is genuinely like awesome......
An amazing place to visit since my college days. The ambience is awesome. Food served is heavenly. Sitting in the 1st floor enables you for a great and reserved treatment. Highly recommended in Kolkata for authentic Chinese food.
A very old joint in chowringee area which serves authentic chinese food. They dont use tasting salt but the taste is genuinely like kolkata chinese. Nothing special about ambience, very old and shabby place but the food is top notch. Tried their egg chicken fried rice , garlic chicken and spring chicken.Quantity of fried rice was sufficient for two and it was on the drier side. Garlic chicken was sweet and tasty. Spring chicken was taken as parcel and it was ordinary in taste. Doesnt serve liqour and they dont have card payment facility which are a let down.
Dinner on new year eve with parents .
Not very crowded.
Which was actually what we were looking for that day which is hardly possible.
Very humble appearance ambiance wise.
Ordered
Chicken fried rice
Chicken gravy chowmin
To try something different I ordered lemon chicken .
Food was great in taste.
Side dish quantity was enough.
Chowmin and rice could be better in quantity given the price.
Had a peaceful dinner .
Nice place .
Lemon chicken is real nice.

It is a hidden gem as you walk down chowringhee from exide crossing towards maidan. It is an authentic chinese restaurant and it has maintained its food heritage. Still no credit card or debit card is accepted out here
The name may be distracting as it's not new because I have visited the place since my childhood . It used to be very good back then but now I find it okay types . There chowmein is a gravy one but I found it gooey one. There Hakka chowmein a drier version is pretty good and the chili chicken is good too .

I've visited this place more that once and when I checked the ratings of this place, I was dumbfounded, 3.4 was a little low of what I expected.
Now this place is expensive, not beautifully decorated and well an old timer but I firmly believe that it serves one of the best chinese dishes that I've had.
Its the place I usually visit with my parents. Its a place where we can share our food and our thoughts.
Anyways, the food, again, I believe is excellent.
Prawn balls(dunno why it isn't there on the menu on zomato though I clearly remember I've eaten it here).
Its actually diced prawn in a doughy binding which I genuinely adore.
For main course we usually order veg noodles, chicken fried rice and chilli chicken.
The staples are usually good.
The star, though is the chilli chicken. Those boneless diced pieces are perfect for that hot and spicy gravy. To me its what chilli chicken should be like unlike popular belief. Yeah, me!
So overall, though I pay more (compared to other places), I have realised we do enjoy the meal here and thats what matter, doesn't it?
Do give it a try and comment what you liked over there.
Happy dining.
A short joint with an average ambience but awsum Chinese food..veg meyphoon (a type of rice noodles) is mouth watering along with veg Manchurian..for starters crispy chilli baby corn or veg momo are good options..price is little on higher side looking at their ambience
A niCe and clean place. Staff is well mannered and the food is good too with ample portions. Ambience is also serene....it lets the food do all the talking. If you are nearby do drop in.
New Embassy on Chowringhee is one of the last few remaining original Hakka Chinese Restaurants in Calcutta. The dim lighting and the ancient Chinese owner sitting behind the Cash counter completes the picture. Ask him what to eat - he tells you wryly - you won't like what I have - that is steamed rice and chicken with vegetables - so order what appeals to you. So we order the 3 items - on which you can't go wrong - Mixed Fried Rice, Pan-fried Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables, Fried Dry Chilli Chicken. Pity they no longer serve Pork and the Chicken comes boneless (which means it was pre-boiled and kept in the fridge) and not with bones which is usually more fresh. Overall, if you go there low on expectations and high in nostalgia - you won't be disappointed. No liquor tho.
From outside it's look like an old traditional Chinese restaurant and when you came inside still it's look like an old Chinese restaurant. This restaurant was very well decorated and it's looks very beautiful and traditional. Ambitious and hospitality was likeable. Service was quick and very good. Staff was very decent and helpful. As it's looks it's food was also very traditional. This restaurant serves you pure Chinese cuisine which was tastes very delicious. It's all the dishes were mouth watering. It was a great experience here. Highly recommended to all Chinese cuisine lovers.
Been to this place just few days back..had chicken garlic with vegetables and mixed fried rice..it's really awesome..place is clean and decent too..
this s a very old resturent lik the old chinise or japanise movie frame.but ideams r not always well fitted in daily life.so dont go wit the look as food s really authentic & tasty.though the service s lil slow & staffs r sometimes reluctent wit the customer but ironically it goes well wit the environment of the restro😁😁.but if foodi refers to food only then that definetion s perfect here.

This place has stood on chowringee road for a long time now and represents those old typical kolkata chinese restaurants. We went around in the evening and the place was completely empty. Nothing mentionworthy about the decor and ambience( except for some chinese touches here and there), but it was clean.There was a single staff for service but he was quite efficient. Now for the food, we ordered 2each of special honey chicken, chicken spring rolls and mixed hakka noodles. The spring roles and noodles were good in taste with ample quantity, the honey chicken was utterly delicious. It had ample amount of small juicy chicken pieces, tossed with honey and sesame seeds which gave it an exquisite flavour. So if in new embassy this is a dish i would highly recommend to the foodies out there. The price of the dishes are mostly in sync with the quality and quantity of the food served. To summarize, if one can just overlook the ambience and decor for a while, this place is worth a visit for their food.
man ! it was a classy restaurant.. great taste man ! great taste.. loved it. yesterday we (5) went there around 5 pm.. we were very hungry.. we asked for. chicken noodles.. schezwan chicken . lime soda. and cold drinks. noodles and schezwan chicken were too good. pocket friendly too. with great quantity.
service - very fast.
A week ago I've visited this place. I was alone on that evening. Place is not so gorgeous, there is also a poster no Debit or Credit card accepted. within budget its a quality restaurant. I have ordered a chilly chicken & Mixed fried rice. items were little bit heavy for one fortunately I was very hungry., both dishes were good.
Used to b one of my fav places for chinese food during school days. The ambience is nothing extraordinary..it is plain and simple. But my rating goes for only their fried rice and chili chicken. The chili chicken deserves a special mention truly. I have tried other items like schezwan chicken,fried chicken and cantonese noodles and found them quite average. Just go for their fried rice and chili chkn

The New Embassy is actually Old Embassy or even very Old Embassy.I have been seeing and visiting this place for years.
This place belong to the old school and authentic format of Chinese restaurants in Kolkata which consist of generally first generation of Chinese ownership,little or no interiors,heavy air conditioning and sullen waiters who are efficient nonetheless.
We being a group of three,asked for the mandatory chicken fried rice and chilli chicken and the not so mandatory chicken chop suey and sweet and sour prawn.
I have mixed reactions.
The chilli chicken was brilliant.Delectable pieces of chicken in an authentic gravy with pieces of green chilli,it was one of the best I have had recently.So was the chicken fried rice which was flavourful with substantial pieces of chicken and plenty.
I did not taste the chop suey leaving the good work to the two lovely ladies who accompanied me.But going by their reactions it was nothing to write home about.The sweet and sour prawn was smelly,the prawns were too small and too sweet and left a sour taste in the mouth.( pun intended ).
However I see this place is strong with its staples and I wish this Kolkata landmark a couple of decades more of authentic survival before they morph into something monstrously contemporary.
A not-so-bad chinese restaurant, reasonable price, a good hangout place for cosy gap-shap with nice food. A marvelous preparation not to be missed is the "honey chicken". Overall, good atmosphere.
Authentic chinese food. Good restaurant and its below my old house i used to order it when i lived in the building love the chicken gravy chow , fried rice and chillichicken
Have visited this restaurant many a times since my childhood. My mother introduced it to me. Just can say, awesome food, great ambience and authentic Chinese food. Though will go heavy on your pocket but still worth it
Anytime my one of the favourite place to hang out.. Awesome finger licking Chinese food and the authentic Kolkata look makes it more attractive :)

Authentic chinese food... worth the price.. !!Pooja Kundu and I have visited couple of times and enjoyed totally. Good for a brunch with friends. Loved it...
It's an authntic chinese restro.. Food is awesome.. Ambience in nt good but doesn't matter food gave you complete pleasure... Try some chinese dishes.. You also can try pork here...
If you are looking for a traditional and Authentic (yes with a capital A) Chinese food joint in Kolkata..here ends your search! Had been here umpteen times & inspite of the space crunch we thoroughly enjoyed each time! The food is salivatingly tasty to our Indian palate,count them on this. No alcohol here but hearty food at its best. Anniversary celebration of my sister definitely had to be here & so was it! Family time can never be more fulfilling than with good food & so it was. Though they disappointed us only this time with an american chop suey which was cooked in sticky smelly old oil & caused much health trouble..& the complaint remained unanswered :( wish they didn't let me down this way as I had suggested enthusiastically this place. But save a rare occasion like this..double thumbs up to our good 'ol chap!
The prices are not equivalent to the food they provide. Childhood favourite. But the scenario have changed now.
Fried Prawns, Special Mixed Chowmein and Chilli Prawn you will love this three dishes.
But recently the taste of the dishes have drastically fallen which is very disappointing.
Once upon a time this eatery was very pocket friendly to young couples and unfortunately it is no more.
.Prompt Service
.Friendly Staff.
.Peaceful ambience
.Parking friendly area
once in a while you can just give a try, wont recommend.
Had been there recently. Ordered fried prawns, american chop suey, egg gravy noodles, chicken fried rice. Fried prawns were awesome. Had such good quality of fried prawns after many years. Other foods were also had good taste. Decor is old, place is small, serving was medium. They don't accept credit cards.
I have been to this place more than 30 times maybe. I don't know what it is so unique about new embassy but I just love visiting this place. There is nothing extraordinary about the decor, just a large aquarium is all that catches the eye. But its this somewhat muted atmosphere that makes it such a pleasing place to just enjoy the food. It definitely makes the best Manchurian chicken that one can find, and its the uniqueness in every dish that makes it so special. The chop suey, the fried chicken, even the simple steamed momo seems to be special here. The service is satisfactory but the prices are unfortunately on the higher side. However new embassy draws us to its doors at least once a fortnight if not more. There is nothing about this place that I hate, its a perfect place to sit n eat in peace and its quite unfortunate it is rated so lowly in zomato.
Embassy is a small eatery run by a Chinese family.As it is just below my office I generally end up ordering from there on days when I have a craving for Chinese.The set up is nothing to write about.In fact it comes across as pretty gloomy.Somehow I seem to like some of their dished as compared to other so called Chinese restaurants.I really like their Embassy special soup, the steamed chicken momos and my favourite out of the lot is their Steamed Chicken with vegetables and rice which is a complete meal in itself.Although I have not experimented much with their dishes and stuck mainly to my favourites , I have so far enjoyed their food.
An authentic chinese outlet which one must try if food is the only thing that matters to you. Ambience from outside gives you the chinese feel, but inside its small, dark and so so. But it has its history to fall back on. Food I will have to say is good. Momo's are worth trying so are the soups, Soups I would say are a must try. Loved them everytime that I have been there or even during take aways. So if you are looking for a place outside ChinaTown which gives you good chinese food then do try New Embassy. And it isnt heavy on the pocket either.
One of the few Chinese restaurant which still has a Chinese owner. Very authentic food but equally expensive. Try the pork side dishes
Best Chinese food in Calcutta thou poor service and no credit card lets it down badly but the food makes up for every mistake

This quaint little restaurant is located bang opposite St. Paul's Cathedral on chowringhee road. Its a small chinese restaurant was quite famous in its day. Their claim of serving authentic Chinese cuisine is probably supplanted by the fact that a Chinese family still runs it. Although Like most such restaurants across the city where the fading Chinese diaspora holds the rein, this place was once much better than it is now.
The place has minimal ambience and the decorations and few chinese lanterns are covered in dust; the cutlery is however clean. The menu is quite large with regular items as well as other exotic dishes. The soups menu is absolutely fantastic. The rice and noodles section also cover a huge range. The Hakka Chowmein was quite good and the chilli chicken tasted like no other that i've ever had. The authentic chinese flavour in each of the dishes were unmistakable. Order the plain chinese dishes that you have always eaten but never with the dash of flavours that make chinese cuisine what it is. Don't order the rolls if you're not too adventurous.
You can always find a handful of old Chinese people sitting there reading a newspaper or smoking. Its a pleasure talking to them. Food is never late. The portions are more than big. The downside is that for whatever inexplicable reason, they charge way more than they ought to.
Chakraborty Tip : Going there in a large group may be more profitable as the VAT they charge is a pittance at only 4 % as against 13.5 % elsewhere.
One of the best place to have chinese cuisine in kolkata, the restaurant is at walking distance from birla planetarium and st. Paul's church...
Here you can have one of the finest chinese dishes at a very reasonable rate...
I would personally recommend Prawn chilly and Nonveg mixed fried rice ... But you can also opt for othe dishes also ...
The atmosphere is a bit uncomfortable if you're claustrophobic but the food is DAMN freaking good. I still remember the taste vividly. Authentic Chinese for sure
Nice cosy little place. Was happy to see the owners having the same food as was being served to us. Gives the guests confidence in the quality of food. The waiter dada was gracious enough to suggest a veg version of fried wontons and it was absolutely delicious. The washroom was old but so clean which is another plus point. I would love to go there again.
Quick service, adequate quantity and delicious and tasty chiness foods
An economical Chinese restaurant with a very authentic taste. The place is located at a very strategic point. Seating capacity is very small. However you can take away from here. Anyone looking for authentic Indian Chinese taste please visit
New Embassy is one of the oldest Chinese restaurant. It's in the prime location, just a few steps from Exide crossing towards maidan.
This is actually a hidden gem. They serve really great food at reasonable price. Quantity is also adequate.
It's not a very spacious one. Indoor seating arrangement is okay okay.
The owner, the staffs all are very well behaved. 😊
It’s a really good place to have family dinner or to hangout with friends.
If you like Chinese food, do visit. 💖
good ambience, good food , we tried mixed fried rice and golden prawn. Reasonable price
This is an old place near elgin road. Might appear a bit lacklustre compared to the newer and fancier places, but what it lacks in show, makes up in the taste perspective. I would suggest their honey chilli pork and pan fried fish with a noodle of your choice. Pretty good quantity and the staff behaviour is quite good.
Just checked in with my family here. I haven't had such good honey chilli pork in a while. I have some compliants, though. The quantity of the food could have been better. The dishes were so good, but the pieces of meat could have been bigger, simply because doing so would make the food a 5/5. The meifoon was great and the chicken in red wine, as suggested by the owner, was a flavourful accompaniment to our selected spread. I'm definitely going back for that honey chilli pork!
So good food and cheap..
absolute authentic old chinese restaurant for which our kolkata stands out..
We had chilli momos, gravy noodles, chicken in red wine and fried rice..
good quantity and very good quality of food..
need to try out other preparations as well..
I love the ambience. The dishes are also very tasty and shareable. And a large amount of food they gave us. And serves well.
Beautiful and cozy place. Reasonable prices. Very good food quality as well as quantity. Hope this restaurant grows more nd get better ratings .
Finally,
Loved it.
One of the oldest and finest Chinese restaurant in Kolkata. Still maintaining its tradition of lip smacking Chinese delicacies..!! Highly recommended..
Good Chinese food for a reasonable price although some dishes will seem to have higher price than it deserves. One major shortcomings are not having the best ambience which plays a major role if you're having a restaurant in midst of Rabindra Sadan area. From metro it's only 10 mins away(walking distance). Overall very good experience with great quality food.
