Really good place to have chinese food... Only drawback here is it has just a few dine in seats... But quantity and quality of food is really good... Slightly on a costlier side... Had tried lapch kai chicken, mixed fried rice, hot and sour soup.

The Bell pepper chicken and the Honk Kong noodles is just tempting.The food is delicious but the decor is a little clumsy.The peoples who don't bother about the decor,only interested in appetizing food,this is the perfect place to visit and this restaurant is also pocket friendly.

đŸ”ēI saw many good reviews of this place in zomato and it was highly reecomended for all foodies. So i finally went in alongwith my brother.
đŸ”ēWe ordered -
🔹Lapchi Kai Chicken - 10 huge chunks of very delicious chicken, cooked to perfection and bursts in flavours when goes to mouth.
🔹Chicken Hakka noodles - tasted absolutely delicious , comes in huge portion, it was more than enough for 2 people.
🔹Chicken pan fried momo - 5 pieces of huge momo tasted absolutely divine.. The gravy attached so rich in flavours and it was surely one of the best momos I ever tried.
â€ŧī¸Ambience - Its a very small joint situated right beside Anand restuarant and can fit 12 people at a time.
💠Bill - a pocket pinch of 800
✔ī¸Overall the food compensates for all other lacking factors. The portion is huge and one dish can easily fill 3 stomachs.

Try Lapchi kai chicken, It is a treat for the tongue. And Pan fried Momo. In Mixed Fried Rice you will be amazed to have so many prawn, chicken and fried egg. I have had mixed fried rice in many places but this place is different in terms of quality and quantity. One full plate rice is enough for two people.
Nice experience and it's my 2nd time here in Chrystal Chimney. Loved it.

Located opposite E-Mall, chandni chowk, this place serves delicious food in prices which won't burn a hole in your pocket. The kitchen is located on the ground floor and the seating area is on the first floor. The seating area is a bit small but wouldn't complain because the food is good. We had the golden crispy baby corn, crystal chimney special noodles and the hot garlic chicken, which has the option half and full plate portions. Do try this restaurant here.

One true hidden gem in the streets of North Kolkata when it comes down to food. Ambience wise this place is not great, but if you want to sit down and enjoy your Chinese food without getting disturbed then this is the place.
We tried here:
1. Chicken in Plum Sauce.
2. Chilly Chicken.
3. Chilli Garlic Noodles (Chicken).
4. Lee Fu Special Rice.
All of the dishes were equally tasty and the portions were fulfilling. The manager here was extremely helpful and suggested some unique dishes to try. This place is highly budget-friendly too!

Truly a hidden gem.
Location: Near Chandni Chowk gate 3

Food: Superb. The chicken gravy chicken wasn't bland. It was spiced well. The bbq spiced fish was crispy outside and soft inside.

Ambiance: Nothing extraordinary. Yet neat n clean.

Staff Behavior: Staff was overfriendly and over inquisitive. It was little problematic for sure.

Food is the best out there. It's a must visit.

1. Ordered Lapchi Kai Chicken, Chicken Schezuan Noodles and Pepsi.
2. Lapchi Kai Chicken tastes great and the portion size is amazing, given that we were two people.
3. The noodles are good.
4. Service is reasonably fast but the restaurant lacks basic amenities like a washroom or a wash basin.
5. Pricing is dirt cheap, especially taking into account the portion size, location (opposite e-Mall) and taste.

Located right opposite to Emall this place was very well suggest by Akash .So after a very tiring day our hungry souls reached out to this place for some heartwarming Chinese delicacies.
After a short discussion with the waiter we settled in for ordering a plate of pan fried Chicken Momo, egg chicken hakka noodles and Hong Kong chicken.
The momos were very generously stuffed and the sauce was super yum too.However a little less heat would be more preferable.
The noodles were sufficient for two and the Chicken dish had eight pieces.The meatballs were really good with a very thin coating of batter. The noodles had ample amount of chicken and tasted decent.
Our bill came to 750 all inclusive.Now the tricky part is that they charged 20rs extra for each dish saying that the price of chicken is high now.I Don't know if that is justifiable .
All in all I loved the food.The waiter was quite honest with his suggestions.

Have ordered in from this place a number of times and loved their food. This place is a Chinese joint near Chandni Chowk. The food is full of flavours and the cost is quite affordable. We specially love their Chicken with Vegetables which is like Chicken Soup full of vegetables and chicken pieces, it is light and wholesome at the same time. Their Chicken noodles and Chilli Chicken is also very good and worth a try.

If you have to visit EMall in Chandni Chowk for some reason, you should definitely visit this place if you love Chinese.
This restaurant can only accommodate a few people. But the food is delicious and the menu is vast. 👌👌
Food can be a bit hot. đŸŒļđŸŒļ You can ask for the preparations to be made more or less spicy according to your need. The downside is that they don't serve any desserts or beverages.

This place is nice and cheap but it cannot accommodate many people as it's too small. Seating available for hardly around 15 people. The food is good with alot of options.

Located right opposite E-Mall.

We had

â€ĸ Chicken lollypop for starters. 6 pieces tossed in a spicy gravy.

â€ĸ Chicken Noodles Soup. We ordered a half plate and the Quantity was enough for two.

â€ĸ Chicken American Chopsuey. Again taste and quantity both equally satisfying.

The best part is that it's extremely pocket friendly.

This place is indeed a hidden gem.

We ordered Lee Fu Fish, Lapchikai chicken and Lee Fu noodles. Each and every dish tasted heavenly and was huge in quantity. One dish is more than enough for two people.

The staffs were extremely caring and courteous.

The only issue with this place is that the sitting area is too small and hence you might have to wait for some time although the wait will definitely be worth it. 😍

If you are a regular visiter in Chandni Chowk area then this hidden gem of a restaurant will surely be your saviour to crave your finger licking foodie hunger. Situated in a small place just opposite E mall and just beside Anand’s , this joint offers a wide range of chinese dishes for so long making it one of the legendary food corners of kolkata.

We visited this place on a bright Sunday and we ordered mixed rice, hakka noodle with kung pao chicken. Quantity is very good so as the quality and its the simplicity of this place and authenticity that makes it a must visit food joint.

A thumbs up for me for this small but gem of a restaurant and if you do visit this plavce you will surely see long queue in weekends due to its authentic unique chinese food.

This is one of those places where you go for tasty food, at nominal prices and nothing more.

There isn't any ambience as such to talk about, it's kitchen is situated in the ground floor & the eating place in the 1st floor. Maximum it can accommodate at one time is 15-17 people.Normal chairs & tables comprises the starting arrangement and the overall place might feel a bit shady.
The waiter is well-behaved & service is pretty good. (We were in a sort of a hurry & they served us really quickly).

Now coming to the food.This place really serves some awesome chinese food.The quantity is quite good & the food yummy !
We ordered - (rating given according to the price of the food & quality)

1)Mixed Fried Rice - Served with egg,chicken & prawn, it was surely a delightful dish.Wasn't too oily & the veggies mixed in it were also apt.(5/5)

2)Egg-Chicken Chowmein - The same description is applicable here as for the previous dish. The noodles were moderate in size & non-oily, and pretty delicious. (5/5)

3)Garlic Chicken - The chicken was so well cooked & the gravy was light,non-spicy, a tad bit sweet & went well with the overall preparation.We took the 6 pieces one. There are different prices according to the number of chicken pieces.(5/5)

All in all, this is the perfect kind of place for a budget-friendly, tasty meal. The place though looked a bit below standard but maintained an impressive amount of hygiene.
Would definetly recommend to order from here. And if you're okay with no ambience & lip-smacking food, give it a try. Its Chinese really tastes good. 😊

Being their customer for the last 12 years the review may come off bit baised. Coming to the food part, must try is their mongolian chicken, pan fried chilli fish and thukpa. Although the place is bit small and cant accommodate large crowd, it makes that up in the taste department. Prices are moderate and a must visit place if you are visting the chandni chowk area to buy your electrical supplies.

I have had just two dishes from this place.

Lat Mei Kei Chicken: Spicy. And hot. And very tasty. The meat is very juicy. And the dish is a perfect starter.

Special Thuppa: The best in town. No questions asked. They serve it with two prawn chips and an egg. The broth tastes amazing. The amount of meat they serve is also more than enough.

I think they serve one of the best Chinese cuisines in Kolkata!

Thanks to the winter in Kolkata! Worth the visit, but a serious one.
Prompt service as I settled over Deep fried Thai chicken, Bar-B-Q fish, veg spring rolls and spinach mushroom soup. The courtesy of the green salad served justice not only on palate but also within gastrointestinal tract.
Ease and grace as I went on chewing and munching the delicacies, the mixed thuppa was too mysterious to ignore.

Order their Barbecue chicken and Pan fried chilly fish... get them packed...take those home... serve with your favourite drink from the bar counter... booze party on fire! These two items can easily take on meals offered by posh Chinese restaurants.

An absolute delight this gem of a place is. Located right opposite to the E-Mall, this is a very old place and have been a favorite Chinese joint for all food-lovers.

Must Try:
- Lepchi Kai Chicken- their signature dish- huge chunks of succulent chicken 

- Lemon Garlic Soup (choice of Chicken/Mixed/Veg): basically clear soup but with lots of garlic and kafir lime. Perfect starter for a winter meal, or in case you are looking for some relief from the wheezing and cold congestion.

Pros: Affordability Every dish is cooked to perfection.

Cons: Space Crunch, but not an issue for couple or a group of 4. It has around 12 seats capacity in total.

Situated:- few yards from chandni chowk metro

Ambience:- a tiny space accomodating 8-10 people.A little too congested(3/5)

Food:- this is the real deal (4.5/5)

To have a thriving business one just need to amp up the quality of food,and this food joint is inevitably doing so for a few years now.
I make sure to introduce my friends to this place(among other obvious places) if they are looking for an affordable yet mouthwatering indo-chinese eatery.
I have lost count of the times I have been to this place and grumbled about their rickety stairs.
But the food makes you forget every other issues you have in your mind.
Their starters, rice,noodles ,chicken and even vegetarian mains are impeccable and worth a try.Its hard to pin point just one dish.Also the quantity in one dish is more than enough to satiate two persons.
P.S- the gentleman serving there offers good suggestions if you are open to it.

This is a very small joint in central avenue. We went there for a small lunch party. We ordered singapore noodles, sanghai noodles and lee fu chicken. Singapore noodles was the best of the lot. Tangy and spicy. Shanghai noodles was also good. Lee fu chicken was a kind of chicken in a green gravy, fragrant of lemongrass and kafir limes. Refreshing in taste. The staffs were cordial though the service was a bit slow.

Located beside anand restaurant, opp to e mall. Decor is minimal with a small seating arrangement which can accommodate 18 people. They have a wide range of menu. Ordered lap chi kai chicken, crystal chimney special rice, chicken fried rice, dragon chicken. Lap chi kai chicken could be the hit, but it was too much salty, we had to waste. Otherwise the dish was delicious with tender pieces of chicken, bell papers, tangy sauce. They have their half and full plate menu. Moreover side dishes can be chosen in 4/6/8 pieces, which is very convenient. Quantity is huge, even their half plate quantity is very satisfactory. Special fried rice was served with omlette, prawn chips and sufficient amount of chicken, prawn. It was delicious. Devil's chicken was average.
The experience could have been much better if right amount of salt was used. It ruined our taste buds so that we could not enjoy our later dishes that much.
Price is reasonable and staffs are courteous.
Surely going to some other day to enjoy some other dishes. Hopefully that time we will have an awesome experience.
28/12/18- we paid a visit again one week ago and this time experience is much better. We had dragon chicken as starter, mixed fried rice and lee fu fish. Dragon chicken was good. But I am totally impressed by the rice and fish. Mixed rice was too good. Every spoon was full with chicken, prawn and egg. It was so much tasty and very well cooked. Lee fu fish had a green gravy and very different in taste from the usual, liked it very much. Quantity is more than satisfactory, half plate rice can be shared between two if you are not too hungry.
19/02/2020- had their mixed fried rice and lap chi khai chicken. This time lapchi khai chicken was the best and rice was awesome as always.

1) Mixed fried rice - 4.5
2) Lap chi kai - 4
3) Crystal chimney fried rice and noodle - Both my favourite 4.5

Their portion is huge so now they have introduced half plate. And yes cordial well-mannered waiters.

A very well-known but tiny place bang opposite e mall in chandni chowk, this place is usually frequented by office goers during lunch time and it's difficult to find a table here on a weekday noon. The ambience is nothing special and the service is not very quick either. However, the food is yummy and never fails to satisfy. The barbecue fish, lemon chicken soup, spring rolls are a must try. Almost all the items in their menu are cooked nicely and taste delicious. Doesn't burn much of a hole in the pocket either.

It's not so very hard to find the resturant opposite EMall and just besides Anand resturant near the chadni chowk metro station... But many times it is overlooked as the entrance of the resturant is very small.. Infact not just the entrance but also the space is very little...only 20 seats are available most probably.. But all this can be kept aside when we consider the food only.. Be it quantity ,quality , or presentation everything is very up to the mark according to it's size... It's a very crowdy resturant..sometimes to get a seat become a tough job... There speciality is in Thai and chineese quision.. My one of the favourite dish is Lap-Chi-kai chicken.. There baked fish is also very much mouth watering... Price is reasonable if consider the quantity..

Be in their with friends. Dining room is small but quite a good. Prices are not overrated. Stuff's are friendly. You don't have to wait for your food for longer time. From my personal opinion to you you don't need to buy ice cream from there. They will sell you a small cup ice cream of rs25 in RS 60.😂😂
Overall I enjoy the food and you can go ahead and try sometimes.

This pocket friendly food joint is situated at opposite of E-mall . You must not judge it by it's decor, first you try their food then you decide.
Food is really delicious and also served in huge quantity. Staff behaviour is really warm. Though it has very small dine in place.. but still this place is very popular. You should try Lapchi Kai chicken, their special dish.
Highly recommend.

Hunger cravings knew no bounds as we shopped on the streets on Chandni Chowk. Crystal Chimney, was heard of before, served as a saviour.
The best part about the restaurant was the man serving us. A polite and helpful behaviour is what one expects from the best of eateries.
Food ordered was:
❤ Paneer Hot Garlic
❤ Schezwan Veg Noodles
One word: Blown
It was arguably one of the best Chinese I've ever had. Perfect with all its taste and light on your stomach. You can have your fill and yet want for more.
The stairs to the eatery is a bit of a problem. But the experience after you cross it...❤

Crystal Chimney is located just opposite to E-Mall and boasts of having a great name in non-veg items. I'm surely going back for another try!!

PS: The picture was taken halfway through relishing the delicacy.

This small joint located at Chandnichow opposite to Emall, The menu is very lengthy out of which we ordered Lapchi kai chicken and pan-fried noodles
The portion size is humongous and the taste of the dishes are too good

Lapchikai chicken comes with 8 thinly sliced chicken and the sauce was finished perfectly with fresh herbs and lemon grass

Pan-fried Noodles was served with chicken and vegetables like broccoli, cartots, cauliflower, beans and the combination of fried noodles and steamed noodles went very well to complete the dish

The food servers are courteous and helpful
Highly recommended for a quick and economical meal

Great food. Don't forget to try lapchi kai chicken and Lee fu fish if you want to try Chinese other than what we are used to. Waiting stuff was friendly but bit too much. Service time is okay. Considering there is nothing that can be said to be good ambience, price is slightly high. But food compensates for that.

This place is located near emall, chandni. Its a very small place, hardly could accommodate 10 people at a time. But honestly, this place is a bliss. May b by yhe decoration or the lights it wont touch up ur expectations. But here food is amazing. And presentation of dishes are beautiful too. I had chimney special soup and a noodles over there. Both were lip smacking. I loved this place from heart and soul.

It was very hot day, Poila Baisakh 1430. After switching from many non-AC resturants in old China town, we opted to this ac resturant. It's a small resturant consist of 4 table. Crystal chimney is a Old heritage Chinese resturant in Chandni Chawk area. We entered in the resturant and feel relaxed due to the cool atmosphere inside. We ordered Bar-B-Q fish in starter section. Taste was delicious, lip smacking. It can change you mood if you are a Chinese lover. The dish was full of bell pepper, tomato,onion, garlic, spring onions with 8 big coated piece of Basa. Then we ordered the resto special chowmein and half plate Lee Fu Chicken. Chowmein has a basic indo-Chinese Taste with egg omelet coating, prawn papad and lots of chicken, prawn,mushrooms, egg. Lee fu chicken was unique in taste. It was green in colour and it's not like the traditional Chinese side dish we get in many resturant. Chicken was soft and juicy. Overall we had a great time on Poila Baisakh occasion.

Chop suey is excellent. Pan fry fish is acceptable. Mixing the 2 parts of a large chop suey is quite a job. Also take a pick at the deep fried Thai chicken.

This place is nice with a great ambiance idea for both couple and family. Please do remember the place is small & can be little claustrophobic. But its fully air conditioned. It has 4 tables in 2 rows & the waiters are very gentle and helpful. The price is reasonable and with in affordable range. Within 200-300 you will get almost everything.

It was a pretty renowned joint regarding the old calcutta chinese or authentic chinese cuisine. I visited the place for the first time, so as per my first visit it was good but if I go by the tag it holds, it is not that much up to the mark. The joint is small and can accomodate upto 16-18 people at a time. Now coming to the food, we had: Lapchi Kai Chicken (starter): It was recommended by them as one of their signature starter dish. It consists of 8 big chunks of chicken tossed in sauce with bell peppers, onion, garlic and lemon grass. The taste was fine, something sweet and it has a spicy after taste. (4.5/5) Crystal Chimney Special Fried Rice (mixed): The rice was covered with an omlet like the egg wrapped rice. It consists good amount of chicken and prawn along with egg. The taste was fine and similar to the mixed fried rice but only the mushroom makes the difference. (4.5/5) Mongolian Fried Rice (mixed): Actually while ordering the dish we asked the person who was taking our order that will it contain the slice of cucumber and onion and he said yes and it will have a tangy and sweet flavour, so we ordered it, but it doesn't contain anything and it didn't tasted like it was said. It was just like a mixed fried rice without mushroom. According to a mixed fried rice it was fine but as we order Mongolian Fried rice it was disappointing. (3/5) Tsing Hoi Fish: This item was taken to have with the Mongolian fried rice and it was good. It was just a bit heavier on sweeter side, other than that it was really good. The fish was very good, buttery soft and fresh. (4/5) Lee Fu Chicken: It was something unique. A mixed aroma of coriander, gondhoraj lebu and basil was there in the gravy. The gravy contains chopped gondhoraj leaves. It perfectly accompanied the Crystal Chimney Special Fried Rice. After a long I tasted something like this. It was seriously a game changer in the entire menu. (5/5) The quantity and the quality wise it was bang on the target. The quantity of every item was enough for two people.

A small AC restaurant that serves great food at affordable price point. They have a wide range of veg and non veg options available in both half and full quantities. We ordered their special Soup which tasted amazing (one of the best in kolkata probably). Also liked Dragon Chicken( the size of pieces and quantity is really impressive),mixed gravy chowmein and BBQ prawn(had a really unique flavour). Absolutely loved their Chinese Omlette (a must try for egg lovers),it is very unique and tasty. Service is really good too.

Best authentic old Kolkata Chinese food in town. High quality, greatest taste, excellent value for money. Though not cheap, the quality, taste and quantity aptly justify everything, including the steep climb on spiral stairs to a very small sitting space. But the wait, difficulty and price are all worthy of the reward of taste.

Went here after couple of years and the only waiter here still recognized us even before we took off the mask. The food here have always been delicious and even this ye it met our expectations. Ordered sweet and sour fish, mixed fried rice, Mongolian rice and chilli crispy baby corn. It's safe to say that they serve probably one of the best chili crispy baby corn. Everything was perfect. The only downside is the small seating arrangement. But the quality of the food makes up for it.
