What people say, in short
Mainland China, especially the South City Mall branch, is one of the most frequently recommended Chinese restaurants in Kolkata, with many people naming it their pick for Chinese food and one commenter describing it as a fine dining option. A diner who visited the South City branch found the food light and delicious, and another calls it A-class. A couple of commenters note its style differs from typical Indo-Chinese spots, and one of them dislikes the taste for that reason, while another says its buffet is not any better than Afra's.
