Tried their chinese chopsuey, it was tasty. The noodles was crispy and gravy was enough for two people. Price is moderate. They also serve pork dishes.

So this is a Chinese restaurant at Gariahat, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the busy main road. Once you find it however, you will enter a place serving some wonderful food. I get really happy when I stumble across such places. I have been here twice so far and let me tell you, one must try the dry boneless chilli chicken. I found it spectacular. It literally lives up to the nomenclature with a garnish of green chillies all over and people who cannot take heat should take a cautious step. Its excellent. I tried the Chinese chopsuey, manchurian prawn and egg fried rice and all of them were pretty good in terms of flavour and quantity.

A small joint hidden in the lanes of Gariahat which can accommodate 25-30 people. Ambience is ok with no decor. Quality of the food is good. However, considering the prices, the quantity is a little less if you want to share a single dish among two individuals.

Let me talk about the ambience. It's a small joint which can accomodate 25 to 30 odd people. A small China Town in South Calcutta. Quantity is enough for two. No doubt their food is outstanding. Especially their Dry Chilli Pork. Only one suggestion quantity of your side dishes are quite less. Even chicken pieces are comparatively smaller in size than other food joints when the prices are over 200. Just an observation 😊

Pao Chein was once a very popular family joint in South Kolkata and myself had many moments to cherish with family. After hectic pujo shopping at Gariahat market, family dinner was must for us.
After many years while passing by, on a rainy afternoon the fond memories just dragged me inside the establishment. The ambiance is still the same at its basic, no frills or cutlery. But what matters over here is the food. Was curious to know if the taste is still the same or deteriorated with time. As an old habit ordered my all time favourite combo of Special Fried Rice and Roast Pork.
Ummm, the same taste of the flavor-some meaty fried rice and smoky soya sauce chili double fried succulent pork they are still consistent with its flavor. For Tung Nam fans must try out pork here.
They don't accept plastic money or e-wallet. Prices in the menu are including tax. Each portion was enough for two of us to share. Pocket pinch was only INR 520 inclusive taxes.

Perfect place to go to if you want some quality Indian-Chinese food in a budget. I love their dry roast pork and mixed friend rice, but those aren't the only top dishes they have. Too under the radar in my opinion; a hidden gem among restaurants located in Gariahat, Kolkata.

Pao Chein is located near Gariahat and it is a small restaurant with a capacity of 25-30 people. Nothing to talk about ambience or decor because that is the last thing I look for in a restaurant. The special fried rice,roasted pork are the main attractions of mine from this place. I go there when I am in town.The taste remains the same.

If you want a cosy and quaint place for having authentic Indian Chinese this is a must visit. Dont expect too much of a decorative ambience. But the simple decor is perfect. Its a 30 seater restaurant and is not crowded anytime. Service is Good. Waiter/s are polite. You can enjoy the silence inside.....Coming to food its straightforward with no complicated dishes. I had ordered Chicken Asparagus Soup which was well made with fair portion of chicken and asparagus. Also had Prawn Chicken Rice and Szechwan Fish which were yummy and perfectly blended. The striking dish was Dry Chilli Chicken which i felt was the best ever one i had. Price is commensurate with quantity.
Overall what you expect of a decent neighbourhood Indian Chinese Joint this is it.

On an afternoon when winter was just setting in, our lip buds craved for something Chinese. Pao Chien was nearby to satisfy our cravings. We had ordered Chicken Gravy Chowmein and Garlic Chicken. Both were served to us in sumptuous quantities and each morsel was equally delicious. The ambience was quiet with soothing music being played in the background. In the end, the staff service was quite prompt.

Pao chein is an age old indian styled chinese restaurant located in the bylane near gariahat more. The place can be easily reached by using gps. The place is decently sized with accomodation of about 25-30 diners dimly lit. We had gone there on a sunday dinner & the place was almost empty. So expect to get your seats easily during rush periods.

We availed the following items:-

1. Roast chilli pork - We took the dry version of this dish. The pork was really tender & had a beautiful glaze of soy sauce. The dish had no fat & just pure meat chunks. The spice factor was certainly welcoming to our tastebuds. The quantity was also decent.

2. Chicken & pork friedrice - The friedrice had a classic taste of chinese style. Had bag loads of flavours. The meat chunks & vegetable portions were in sync. The quantity is good enough for a heavy eater. So 2 average people can easily share a plate.

3. Mixed friedrice

4. Hot garlic chicken - They chop up about 8 big chunks of chicken & make it look like 10-12 moderate pieces of chicken. The dish certainly lives upto being really hot as compared to other places. The dish was no doubt tasty.

The pocket pinch is higher compared to quality of dishes. I thought the food is overpriced over here with much better value for options available around gariahat area. The service was good.

Quantity was good too. Ambience was normal and service was prompt.. can't even think of such a great taste at such a pocket friendly price.

I am wondering why I didnt have food from here before.. what a find!! Perfect place to try old school Calcutta chinese food. A small no-frill place with basic ambience yet clean. We ordered pao chein special chow and dry chili chicken. The taste is brilliant specially the chili chicken..it is still lingering in my tastebuds. Bill was 520 including a 600ml nottle of cold drinks. No card payment is accepted. Go for it if you look indo chinese food.

The interior was not at all attractive. Even the utensils on which the food was served were of cheap quality. However, the primary parameter, which is the quality of food gets a good score. We ordered Veg Gravy Chowmein and Dry Chilli Chicken. Both were delicious. Quantity was moderate. Service was prompt. But as per the quantity and the decor, the price seemed to be a bit above reasonable. It was about Rs.650/two with taxes.

I visited this place during puja along with six of my colleagues. We stopped there to have our dinner while pandal hopping. A decent place with minimal interior. We ordered Chicken Rice and Chilli Chicken which was good enough with the taste in that rush period as well. However the Chicken corn soup was the worst that we have ever tasted. It was very starchy and we hardly had any Chicken flavour out of it. Overall it was a nice visit and is recommended as well to have main course.

A small restaurant opposite Spencers, Gariahat. This turned out to be a decent one though. Surprisingly, I found pork in the menu. Went for mixed Hakka noodles and hot garlic pork. The service was okayish. The food turned out to be excellent.

The noodles was well made, with generous portions of meat. The quantity, I would say, isn't totally sufficient for two people. The Hot Garlic Pork was delicious. The meat was tender, with less of fat and more meat. The gravy was equally delectable.

Overall, a great place for decent Chinese at a low pocket pinch.

A few weeks ago, I came to this place. It is a small restaurant, located at Gariahat, a few steps away from the Standard Chartered ATM bank. Has a simple outlook and simple interiors. I with my mother ordered Prawn Pakora, Mixed Fried Rice, Chilli Fish, Sweet Garlic Chicken for home delivery while had Dry Chilli Pork as an evening stomach filler. What a marvellous dish we had!! The service provided was good.
I would strongly suggest customers to try the Prawn Pakora, it is really a lovely preparation. Heard from many that it is a very old eatery, but has maintained high quality with passage of time. I would love to visit it again. Anybody willing to have quality Chinese should visit Pao Chien, very much recommended.

It located just near Hindustan Park. Following the Standard Chartered ATM of Gariahat you can just find this restaurant in left hand side of the lane They have sitting capacity of 30 - 35. They should work on the interior and branding I guess. But if you can compromise these area being a foodie it is just really awesome. Quality food with quantity. You just can't ask for even better when you can avail these in very pocket friendly prices. Hakka Chicken Noodles with Dry chilli Pork were really a combo to cherish. Ready to dive in here once again soon.

"A cozy little joint offering good Chinese at reasonable prices" , this is how pao chein has been marked in my mind. Located beside the Stan Char gariahat branch, this place came as a saviour to my "feed-me-NOW" tummy and fatigued legs (oh its gariahat, & u can't help but hop & shop !! :p ) .. About the food, I personally recommend their lung-fung soup. Honestly,I never expected such a fine soup with enough shrimps & chicken pieces from this tiny joint..our other orders were Mixed Hakka noodles /chili chicken and colas.. Overall food was satisfactory!

A small eating joint, serving good Chinese food.
The place is very easy to locate, it's near Gariahat Standard Charter Bank. The place servers very good affordable Chinese dishes all throughout the year. In puja time the place remain moderately crowded as compare to other restaurants in close proximity.
They are excellent in pork items as well, and our main target was the same, but sadly during puja they arrange special puja menu mostly consisting of chicken, egg, prawn.
After a bit heart break to see the special puja menu without pork, we ordered Chicken Prawn Fried Rice, Chicken Gravy Noodles, Sezwan Chicken.
The quality and taste of the food was as usual great. The gravy noodles was thick and was loaded with veggies and chicken strips, the chicken prawn fried rice was also delicious and the sezwan chicken had bite size chicken pieces and was also tasty.
For the puja only they had a special limited choice menu and the price was Rs 30 more for each dishes.
Puja or No Puja, this place is good for affordable Chinese serving pork items.

Well, well, well. Sometimes, old is actually gold.

At a time when a number of old favorites have lost their charm and are basically running on reputation alone, Pao Chein keeps serving excellent food calmly and quietly. Tucked away neatly at a small gully near Gariahat, this old favorite is still a place where you can get great food without frills at pocket-friendly prices. The interior isn't what most would consider spacious or well-decorated, but again, this place is all about the food and not the frills.

Having tried a large selection of their rice and noodle dishes, it is safe to say that this is standard fare, but definitely above-average in the taste department. Ordering a non-veg option ensures that you get enough meaty bits on the plate to munch. Of special note is the chilly chicken and chicken in garlic sauce, which are balanced, composed dishes with chicken pieces that have just that hint of crisp outside (the coating is paper-Thin, unlike at some places) and juicy, tender meat inside, all immersed in a flavorful sauce that does not contain humongous pieces of distractions like large onion or bell pepper chunks. A lot of people have griped about this, but I find it a welcome change.

Ideally, one should not leave Pao Chein without trying their stellar roast pork, which defies expectation. You get moist, juicy pieces of Pork, which taste incredible. The pork seemed to fall apart at the touch of a fork, which is something that most places serving pork cannot accomplish, ending up with stringy, chewy meat. Another plus about this dish, and the other pork dishes served here, is that they use primarily lean meat, but also contain a hint of fat which pork lovers adore. I have found the meat, fat ratio to be way off in certain other places, but here you are sure to get just the right mix.

I would suggest taking out the time to go visit this place at least once, and the food should then speak for itself. I am happy that Pao Chein takes its business seriously and is not content just to slumber on its "old favorite" status, but instead keeps making people like me happy with great food.

Its a very old restaurant of South kolkata probably 30yrs old.. my parents used to visit this resto in their young age. Last time they visited when I was only 6months old. After that we have never been there. Last week me n my mom went to gariahat for some shopping. While returning suddenly my mom saw this restaurant and insisted to have dinner there.
We ordered veg n chicken soup,veg gravy noodles and canton chicken. Soup and noodles were good . Canton chicken tastes similar to chilli chicken with little more soya sauce. No tax is charged. Overall pocket friendly restaurant. I will be visiting it again

Old school, authentic, pocket friendly, homely can't find more adjectives to describe the experience here.
While food is almost at par with any std tangra restaurant the tariff at a prime location of gariahat is unbelievable.

Slightly less marks for no home delivery even after offering extra. Otherwise 200% value for money.

It was much before Zomato started operating in Kolkata, when I tried Pao Chien for the first time. Hence, one can guess why the review is still pending. :) 
Finally, circumstances made me visit the outlet for a quick snack on last Saturday, and after so many years seeing the place getting a complete makeover made me nostalgic. The place however seemed gloomy inside. 
Coming to the food, we order Chicken Thai Soup, Pao Chien Special Gravy Noodles and Chilli Chicken Dry. The soup had an amazing taste and was brilliantly cooked with full of veggies, eggs, mushrooms and chicken, which was coming up in every spoon we pulled up the bowl to slurp. The gravy noodles had generous portions too with stuffs overloaded. However, the taste was ordinary and had a tad more soya into it. The side dish, Chilli Chicken, was what I opted for after seeing its color and texture on the other table (bad manners though) ! :) But it miserably failed to live upto my expectations. I have never had a dish so rich blackish in color with pretty good amount of oil and chillis with having any taste whatsoever. The only good point about it though is that, the chicken boneless pieces were very soft and juicy.
The pocket pinch was a bit high going by its set up. I personally feel that Pao Chien, before the make over delivered better in terms of quality than what they do at this moment. Overall, an okayish experience and I wish to visit some other time in order to taste the other dishes in their hatchet. Till then, Cheers to the team !

Have been going to this place since I used to be a kid. Over the years it became better and better. So did the price go up.
Since it holds a good nostalgic element for me, I'm so fond of this place. Even though the food nor the decor is anything great.
Decent staff there, always been so.
They've maintained the quality of their food which is delicious. I personally like it.
Be mainstream while you go for the orders as their menu has not much variety. Chicken Hakka Chow, Chilli Fish.. That's my call every single time.

The go to spot for decent Chinese food dt takes care of our pockets too. The Place is little cramped but the food makes up for that. Been there a couple of times & hv ordered in at other occasions. Hvng tried most of their menu options I would recommend this place for binging on Chinese food on a budget.

This truly is a hidden treasure nestled in a lane of Gariahat. Had been there several times, after long shopping sessions at Gariahat, ears ago.

However, dropped by again last week with friends. The Roast Pork was dark, luscious, sticky and the fat was rendered perfectly. The Chilli Fish was pretty good too but their Mixed Gravy Noodles bowled me over. It had the perfect smoky flavour and the best gravy noodle I have had in a very long time.

Have to visit this place more often, definitely.

My best friend took me to this place. The ambience was good, well decorated with average space. We ordered prawn soup, chicken soup, mixed noodles and garlic chicken. All the items were so delicious. There were prominent chicken and large prawn pieces in the soup. Mixed noodles contained lots of chicken, egg and prawns. The price was reasonable. Quantity was good. The service was quick. Staffs were well behaved. So I highly recommend this place. This place serves authentic and delicious chinese food. I am definitely going to visit it again to try out their other dishes.

How much good is written about this place will be less, I'm going to this place from quite a long time and this has never dissapointed me or my friends who has accompanied me along ever!! I've tried the chicken Pakora, hot and sour chicken soup, mixed hakka chowmein, chicken and prawn friend rice, chilli chicken and each item has been amazing perfect with taste and quantity. Their pork however deserves special mention be it roasted chilli pork or chilli pork gravy, probably one of the best pork I have had in kolkata. The staff is very friendly, service is quick, decor is simple yet nice cozy ambience and the best part they don't have any taxes!! Yes no service tax or any other taxes!! A must visit for all Chinese lovers. You will love it and keep visiting again and again!! Subhadeep Sengupta

The name brings back loads of childhood memories. Situated in an alley on gariahat, it is a really wonderful restaurant that I've been going to since I was a kid. The ambience is nice. Has good seats, is air-conditioned and spacious up to a certain point as well. This is one of those places that you hope never closes down. The quantity in each plate is a lot! I've never been able to finish an entire plate of fried rice or noodles! Either made someone else have it (which was hardly the case) or packed it (mostly the case). Quality of the food served is great and they don't take long to serve as well. And the price won't burn a hole in your pocket either!
