China Garden
You are not a Mumbaite, if you haven't heard of China Garden. And you aren't a foodie, if you haven't eaten here. The name says it all. When news of China Garden closing down hit Mumbai, there was panic in every foodie's heart. In fact, China Garden did close down at Om Chambers, only to reopen at Crossroads.
We miss the old look, its vibrance and its energy. But, you have to hand it to Nelson Wang, for coming up with something elegant and classy. A waterfall glass, exquiste bar and most of all plenty of space between tables, all adds to the China Garden experience.
Coming to the food. The good part about China Garden, order anything on the menu and you will not be disappointed. In the soups, Hot & Sour, Sweet Corn and Wanton are a treat to your taste buds. You can get vegetarian, chicken or prawn in almost any soup or dish you order. In the starters, the Pepper Chicken, Gin Chicken, Steamed Wantons and Garlic Prawns are all excellent choices. Coming to the main course, you have your variety of authentic chinese sauces such as hot garlic, schezuan, chilli, black bean and kung pao.
The Steamed Bread is an excellent accompaniment with the main course. Also, remember to ask for Kimchi, if it hasn't already been placed on your table. It is complimentary and a great appetizer. The other great complimentary thing at China Garden is the Chinese Tea. It is extremely refreshing and a great digestive after your meal.
In my usual style of summarizing, I would definitely recommend China Garden, even though it torn away from its old grand look to a modest restaurant with offerings in a mall.

My mother and sister just went to China Garden yeserday for lunch and found the food amazing, as usual. And its a good thing they told me what they ate, for in the post, I completely forgot to mention the "Teppan Soba Noodles". They are simply superb.
