What people say, in short
Mandarin, a Chinese restaurant with a branch on Southern Avenue, is a frequent commenter pick for Chinese food in Kolkata, with one calling the noodles the best they have had. One diner also singles out its mixed Cantonese noodles and rotates its Chinese main courses with another spot. The main caveat is oiliness: a couple of commenters say the food uses too much oil, particularly in packed chicken dishes where the oil separates and dulls the taste.
