This place can better be described as an eatery. Run by a family, the place doesnt provide you with glamorous interiors and all, but when food is all that matters who cares? Mr. Li was very cordial in welcoming us and the foods they served were really good. We tried quite a few dishes - namely stir fried pork, dragon chicken, pork 65, salt and pepper shrimps, prawn chips, cantonese noodles, garlic fish. All were sumptuous, a special mention for the pork 65 though. It stood out.
Located near the chinese kali temple its one of the few eateries left in Tangra locality that gives you the feel that you expect from the China Town. This place hasnt so far given in to the glamour game. Will definitely be back to this place very soon.
A couple of negative reviews bout this place probably suggests that they are probably a bit inconsistent in their services and quality. However, my experience with what the family had to offer was really good.
See you soon Mr. Li..

I suddenly realised that I haven't reviewed this place yet. This restaurant was my first Chinese restaurant visit that too long time back when I was in primary school.
Located in the interiors of Tangra, this is a really small place (I guess that's what may appear to me). We used to come here regularly long ago and were kinda self proclaimed loyalists of this place which later got shifted to Beijing.
The Szechwan Prawn from here was something to bug for. As a child, I used to hog a full plate of it containing ten pieces of it like a beast along with a plate of Rice Noodles.
Don't know how is it doing these days. Haven't been here for a long time. I may not like the food here anymore as my ideas about Chinese food has broadened by eating out at places. But Evergreen will always remain 'evergreen' in my heart when this would come to a Calcutta Chinese experience. Happy Dining! :)
The moment we got in, ambiance was good enough, and we started with a Pork dish which was so good... But moving towards the main course I don't know what went wrong, the food quality started degrading.... Hence the verdict would be that the place is good for starters and not the main course...no way...cheers!!!
