Location is misleading. You will not find any restaurant named Mainland China. Search for “Gong” as it’s operated by Gong. And one of best place for Asian food in Pune.

For when you want to feast on some authentic Chinese cuisine, Mainland China is the ideal place and its a heaven for Chinese food lovers.I was actually dazzled by the cooking techniques to the balancing of the flavors of the dishes served at this place. The comfortable and elegant appeal of the restaurant ,spacious and comfortable seating arrangements to the impressive interiors and not to forget the delicious Chines spread , this place has everything sorted!

One can fall short of hunger but not TASTE!!! Had been there for lunch and it was definitely not disappointing..... A very authentic place to try Chinese food..... amazing flavours and all the dishes ordered were unique in themselves... Started with mocktails- The lychee and basil quencher was very chill... The orange piroskha was very mild and had good orange flavour with freshness of mint!! The watermelon and Cilantro crush will awaken you and all the drinks were very refreshing Dimsums-Pan fried Japanese mushroom and chicken dimsums were very mild to taste and mouthwatering!!! Appetizer- Pan fried barbeque fish is a must have!!!very soft and juicy... Pickled coriander was well marinated and little spicy with infused flavours of authentic spices...... Malaysian curried prawns very a little crispy from outside and yummy from inside ... Main course- Okra corn and potato in black bean souce seemed as healthy as tasty Cantonese soy steamed fish was very mild to taste but with good flavours!!!!!❤️❤️ Double spicy Chengdu chicken was full of mouthwatering sauces and veggies and perfectly cooked.✌️ Lotus leaf wrapped rice gives aroma you cannot resist and so is the Singapore style fried noodles!!!!! Desert- Must must have chocolate cigars with vanilla ice cream 😋... You can also try mango pudding which was a little on the tangy side but can give it a try if you are a mango lover!! Service-5/5 Food-4.5/5 Staff-5/5 Ambience-3.5/5 Overall a definitely must visit place!

Mainland China food chain is one of the restaurants which serves near to authentic Chinese food and very rarely disappoints you with the taste. Currently they have introduced a list of new dishes to celebrate the Chinese New Year which was on 25th January. We tried a few of these dishes accompanied by a number of mocktails and they were delicious 🍹Mocktails🍹 We ordered Ginger and Pineapple Frappe, Forbidden Punch, Orangepiroksha, Virgin Pina Colada, Watermelon and Cilantro Crush and Virgin blue lagoon. I liked blue lagoon and Forbidden Punch the best. Especially the cranberry and Pineapple juice with hazelnut cream tasted bomb❤️ 🍡Appetizers🍢 🌰Stir Fried Water Chestnut Hunan Style - They served a Chinese Water Chestnut starter which I had for the first time. The crispness of the chestnuts was intact inspite of being stir fried along with onion and capsicum. The Hunan sauce added the right amount of ginger and garlic flavour to this starter. Their presentation was also decent. A must try dish atleast for vegetarians ❤️ 🥔Matchstick Potatoes with Truffle Oil - This had potatoes uniformly cut in the shape of matchsticks and tossed in truffle oil. The ginger, garlic, chilli powder made this simple dish palatable. Children and elder both will love this. 🍄Pan Fried Japanese Mushroom Dumplings - The stuffing of these dumplings was really good and Mushroom lovers will definitely love it. The after taste was just lingering in the mouth for a long time and they could have served some dip with it. But if you ask them for shezwan sauce they will provide you with the most authentic chutney. Also the covering was a bit thick. 🥘Main Course 🍲 Fortune Clay Pot Vegetables - This too I had for the first time and it was good. They serve raw vegetables in a liquid sauce made generally from the water that the vegetables leave when cooked with water and other condiments. They used vegetables like lotus stem, broccoli, potato in it. I had Celery and Chinese cabbage fried rice with it and the combination tasted delicious. Their noodles are equally scrumptious 😍 🍮Desserts🍧 Hot chocolate rolls with vanilla ice cream was amazing. The combination of chocolate with vanilla as usual tasted great. The rolls with uniform chocolate filling were small and adorable. Coconut caramel custard was okay, the taste of egg was overpowering. Chocolate dome with warm chocolate sauce was the BEST ❤️ It consisted of caramel popcorn, brownie pieces, vanilla icecream, choco chips and fried noodles, all inside a chocolate dome which melted when they put hot chocolate sauce over it. Mango pudding was decent. Steam coconut dumpling with honey butter sauce was one of the unique desserts and modak lovers should try this 😛

Mainland China is a big chain of restaurants which specializes in authentic Chinese Cuisine. Recently I was at their Baner branch for 'Chinese New Year' food festival and I had a pretty good experience. The place is quite spacious with a neat and classy ambiance. Coming to the food, we tried some of the dishes which are part of 'Chinese New Year Food Menu'. 1. Pan fried Japanese Mushroom Dumplings (Rs. 375) : These mushroom dumplings were really good with delicious mushroom filling. As it was pan fried, it had a nice, crispy outer covering. 2. Stir Fried Water Chestnut Hunan Style (Rs. 475) : Chestnuts were so crispy and juicy and they were tossed in spicy hunan sauce along with capsicum and onions. 3. Matchsticks Potatoes with Truffle Oil (Rs. 425) : The potatoes were fried absolutely crispy and tossed with some celery and truffle oil. 4. Fortune Claypot Vegetables (Rs. 530) : In a mild soy based curry, veggies like lotus stem, water chestnut, broccoli were cooked. 5. Stir Fried Haricot Beans with Chillies (Rs. 480) : This one was really good. Beans had a very nice crunch to it and were tossed with dry red chillies. Along with the gravies we had, Celery and Chinese Cabbage Fried Rice (Rs. 445) and Singapore Style Fried Noddles with Scallions (Rs. 480). Both were good in taste. In desserts we had, Hot Chocolate Rolls with Vanilla Ice cream, Chocolate Dome with Warm Chocolate Sauce, Mango pudding, Steam Coconut Dumpling with Honey Butter Sauce and all of these were pretty delicious. Special mention to chocolate dome which had brownie, popcorn, Icecream under it.
