    Experience was good. We ordered Crispy Konji Lamb fry, it was good and so crisp. And wok tossed noodles, which was okay but not upto expected. And hot and sour soup was good and the momo was different and good, especially the sauce they gave was different from what I tasted. Though its not an all time favourite spot, we can just give it a try.

    Food taste is awesome with the sauce . Ambience is great & the covid standards are maintained with sanitizer in each table . Service is good . The only thing I miss in their is menu is " Kung pao chicken " -ๅฎซไฟ้ธกไธ ,which is one of may favorite Chinese dish . Well maintained with weekend rush customers. Keep it up .

    Worst service. Worst food and taste. They are showing attitude. Overrated one. If u ask anything they are rude and not polite. Bad. Hot and sour soup taste like tamarind water and chicken not cooked well. Fried rice blant and garlic chilli chicken chicken quality not good. Wasted money. I will never go here again.

    Great food. The staff were all wearing masks and covers. Chicken momos were great. The szechuan noodles with black pepper sauce was okay in taste. The chocolate rolls with vanilla ice cream was unique and tasted good.

    Nothing too great to mention. Decent food(3/5). Service was good(4/5). Ambience is good(4/5). I always like that sweetened cucumber and carrot that they give as a starter. Their cutneys are also great. Chopsuey - my favourite ๐Ÿคฉ

    Our regular place to dine. Staff here is very humble and joyful. They always ask about the food and if you don't like they would get it changed. Rana(no more with Mainland China) became one of out closest friend through this restaurant. He ensured to pamper us on each visit with a big smile, warmth, complementary dish/drink and long chats. Most of their staff is excellent professionals. Would love to visit again soon.

  • 5/5 SOUPARNA B. 4 years ago on Google
    You will never know the true taste of Chinese cuisine until you visit this place. By far, the best Chinese i have tasted till date, worth every penny and every inch of your taste buds๐Ÿ˜‹. The warm and courteous welcome by the staffs and the managers bringing a Bengali homely vibe to the place kind of takes it up to the next level. I happen to meet a Manager with the good name of Rana, from a Bengali family. He was very warm and friendly in welcoming and suggesting dishes, as well as sharing a good laugh in our own native language๐Ÿ˜„ Be ready to get blown away.

    We enjoyed the tasty chicken eight treasure soup, although it lacked spiciness and needed more salt. The sliced chicken chili oil & spring onions had delicious chicken but only three visible spring onions. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing; we asked for regular water, but they brought it without pouring it into glasses. Additionally, they didn't remove the normal plate in front of us when serving the soup, leaving us to move it aside ourselves. Overall, a subpar dining experience with room for improvement in service.

    The staff are extremely cordial and the decor is a delight that was artistically connected back to China. Tried a Buffet here, which was economical and the quantity served was good. Cutlery was finely cleaned, the staff are well mannered. The food is quiet delicious and the variety offered both a-la-cart and on the buffet are palatable. Had a memorable time at Mainland China.

  • 5/5 Shiladitya M. 1 year ago on Google
    My fifth time at Mainland China. Always a number one choice for authentic Chinese food suited for Indian tastebuds. We had prawn tempura sushi, chicken dumplings, chicken Taipei and Cantonese rice noodles. There are two varities of sauces or rather oils served while having the dumplings and it is fantastic. If you want, you can now even purchase them from a Mainland China restaurant. Delicious food and great ambience.

    A descent place to have Chinese food. The food was very tasty and all the dishes we ordered were good. In the restaurant they do not have provision to wash hands so they are giving finger bowls but they do not have enough bowls to serve a table of 8 at the same time. The guy taking orders was rude most of the time. Overall service is below par.

    Good restaurant, staff is good. But weekend lunch is very crowded and staff mix up orders or cancel them after taking! Taste is good for the price. No wash area, neither they give you wet tissues or finger bowl. Little hygiene issue here!

    The restaurant is inside Phoenix mall. Good place for family get together. Service is good. Food is good. Prices are ok. They are charging 10 per cent of total amount as service charge, I think that is not justified.

    Great food and ambience. Expensive of course but worth it. We had ordered veg and edamame fried rice with exotic veggies in hot basil sauce and sweet chilli potatoes. It was excellent. The drinks are average we had watermelon cilantro crush and iced teas. The service is excellent here.

  • 4/5 Balaji K. 4 years ago on Google
    Quantity - Enough Quality - Great Service - Good Price - Moderate Waiting time - Please come early

  • 5/5 Vignaesh R. 4 years ago on Google
    Recently I visited this place and it was an awesome experience. The appetizers were incredibly delicious. Even my wife who isn't a fan of chiniese cuisine liked all the dishes. This shows how authentic chinese taste would attract new fans. Try out Prawn sui mai with lemon grass, Dynamite prawns & Oriental crispy lamb. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

  • 4/5 vishnu vardhan reddy vasam r. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to have Chinese food

  • 4/5 Beulah M. 4 years ago on Google
    I visit restaurants during weekdays to get the minimal crowd but there was quite a crowd during a Friday here. All the dishes I had here were of fine quality but not quantity.

  • 1/5 Caesar P. 4 months ago on Google
    Supposed to be a fine dining place but the contrary. -45 min delay in servicing a simple 2 common dish -poorly presented -when we complained, an angry service When it gets crowded during weekend think twice to visit.

  • 3/5 Sourav C. 3 years ago on Google
    Located in the first floor of Phoenix Market City, Velachery. Social distancing and contactless dining are definitely worth appreciating. But compared to quality and quantity of food served,the restaurant is damn expensive. To be frank,I would rather recommend Asian Station. Have rated 3 star because of courteous staffs and ambience,but definitely the authority should look into their tariff. Now the lunch buffet is also not there. It can only be visited if visiting mainland chaina is in your bucket list.

  • 5/5 Sri K. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great time during COVID . The food was perfect and I really liked the fact that each table had its own sanitizer bottle. The servers had a mask on as well as a face shield.We ordered basil flavoured chicken dumplings , pan fried Asian chilli fish and pan fried noodles with soy sauce. All the dishes were amazing!!

  • 5/5 Ashwin Kumar T. 5 months ago on Google
    A nice selection of dishes that aren't usually found elsewhere in Chennai. Strong Asian flavours and well presented dishes. A child/infant friendly setup as well. Would recommend this place for a nice lunch or dinner.

    Food is always good in all mainland china restaurants but for this particular restaurant the ambience is not really nice โ€ฆ itโ€™s like a regular hotel vibes

  • 3/5 Ramez 1 year ago on Google
    We went here with my family for fine dining after shopping... Let me share my own experience Pros : Very neat ambiance Friendly staffs Cons : No washroom or hand wash Little delay in service Food: Kalamari - 9/10 Hot and sour soup - 8/10 Crab fried rice - 7/10 Dragon chicken - 3/10 Sea food soup - 6/10 Tomyum soup - 4/10 Mixed meat fried rice - 6/10 Chicken Taipei - 9/10 Prawns - 5/10 Chicken fried rice - 10/10 Steam momo - 10/10 But all the food is little more expensive but when they have a restaurant in a shopping mall what do you expect My suggestion : if possible get approval from the mall management and have a washroom since some people and even old people cannot walk out of the restaurant in search of restroom after coming in for a dining... Don't expect all to use cutlery being a proud INDIAN most of them are expected to eat with their hands...

  • 3/5 Pandian C. 5 months ago on Google
    Poor service. Real Chinese taste missing. Egg & chicken fried rice was horrible. Very dry, without any aroma , no herbs & tasteless. Looks like a physical mixer of rice, small quantity of egg omelet and very very less quantity of tiny chicken pieces.

  • 5/5 apoorva r. 4 years ago on Google
    A total VFM place for its lunch menu. Excellent quality and customer service. Has maintained its standard and stays as one of the best for Chinese cuisine in Chennai

  • 4/5 Akbar s. 5 years ago on Google
    Starters was delicious except the pomfret fish. Tom yum lemon grass soup was not good. I would suggest not to go for any drinks except Pepsi. Pan fried noodles were awesome. Have to try the duck starter, so delicious.

  • 5/5 Sujith R. 1 year ago on Google
    "Chinese Paradise for Heavenly Dishes" Really we loved the dishes we ordered & fish , prawn are really delicious ๐Ÿคค They are preparing the food based on the customer requirements which is really cool . Service is really class and loved the ambience as well . Those who loves to have some Chinese dishes must visit this place . Note : costs are more than average for a middle class.

  • 5/5 Sucharitha G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to eat Chinese cuisine. Mild in spicy and full of flavours. I liked their sweetcorn starter the most - sweetness of corn, spicy ting of chillies with a hint of salt. Lived it the most. Their brownie is a must try.

  • 4/5 Rahul B. 11 months ago on Google
    Mainland China in phoenix market City has a big dining space and we could see big crowd dining here. The place had a pretty good ambience with dimming lights that had a soothing vibe. The food was good but the quantity could have been more for the price we pay and the service could have been better. Our food got delayed and at one point we were not even feeling hungry. The air conditioning also could have been better as when the crowd came it became warmer inside. Overall it was a decent experience and one could check out their food varieties.

  • 3/5 Ram P. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience is good... Service is little worst... Must try - chicken sour soup, Crispy potato fry, Chicken fried rice Rambutan icecream..

  • 5/5 Archu G. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried Hakka noodles, basil flavored dumpling, king prawns and drums of heaven chicken. Food was very delicious and customer service was amazing. Itโ€™s clean and well maintained restaurant in the area. I would recommend going on weekend for more fresh food. Kids love the fresh dumpling from here.

  • 5/5 Susheel C. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. We loved every dish. However, the drink that we ordered was too sweet for our taste. And remember to order bottled water.

  • 5/5 Sahityika P. 5 years ago on Google
    Love this place because of its hospitality and ambience. If you love Chinese then this place is the ultimate destination for Chinese food. The noodles and the dimsum along with the variety of dessert and mocktail will surely steal your heart. I will rate this place a 9/10 based on the food quality and taste along with ambience and hospitality. The place is clean and hygienic. I deducted 1 mark because I think they can provide a better quantity for the amount of money they charge on dish. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I will keep coming back to it for more.

  • 4/5 M J. 4 years ago on Google
    Itโ€™s located in 1st floor on PhoenixMall Entering u find three big statues Itโ€™s quite big space not too crowded Its clam place, good with friends/official meetings. We were 4 and ordered 10 varieties Per head costed 1100 Food was good Quantity for less Prices are ok for the place quality and name Service was good but if crowded it will be late Welcome salad are served itโ€™s really fresh and yummy Rarest part: cutlery are served separate for vegetarians and non vegetarians Itโ€™s differentiated by a small green line at the edge of the plate and bowls Momos was tasty and juicy Soup quantity was good had one by two Starters and main course was very less of quantity as mentioned by other reviewers Rest all is perfect for a perfect lunch or dinner with friends family or business meet Donโ€™t miss to try the ginger at the exit counter sovereign.

  • 3/5 chandrani c. 5 years ago on Google
    Few items were good, but few others were equally bad, like this paneer starter. Apart from the decorations, rest of it was just chilly flakes. Didn't expect that from such a reputed restaurant giant.

  • 4/5 Rohan S. 4 years ago on Google
    Flavours are mild not too strong, good ambience and good service

  • 3/5 Jagadeesh J. 4 years ago on Google
    Near authentic Chinese food place. The decors, seatings even the ceiling paintings can transport you to China in minutes. Service was average compared to other branches. May be it was a lazy weekday. Very good selection of menu. The lotus stem is a must try dish. I dont think we have this anywhere. The sauce they give are certainly a class apart

  • 5/5 Megha Liz V. 4 years ago on Google
    You will be welcomed by not just antique sculptures that result in the beautiful ambiance of this place but also a well mannered and enthusiastic staff that will provide your table your own sweet time to decide upon your order, through a pad. With plated of green markings for vegetarians, they take extra care regarding your preferences. So, don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel completely comfortable to order whatever you wish to consume cause with my previous two visits to this place, I have learned that not only the food is of exquisite quality but also, of filling quantity with appropriate prices. Although, that might not be the same for a college kid on a tight budget. The only thing that you have to beware of is the timing that you chose to arrive at this place because this place can get really busy around meal timings (probably a testament to its quality service), so busy that I have seen the place being left closed for further customers due to it being full. Hope you enjoy your visit as much as I did mine! ? ?
