Mainland China Restaurant in Andheri West

Keep your China Gates, you guys, Mainland China is here!! And not a moment too soon if you ask me. Our family is a total MC fans-group but it was honestly getting very tiring to drive up to Saki Naka in Mumbai`s traffic.

I will not waste time or words on mundane things like decor and ambience - if the food`s good, ambience kicks in automatically. Look out for Shoppers` Stop on linking road and home in to Chinese culinary orgasm.

As usual, we started with the crackling spinach - no matter how many times we go to/come to MC, this is always our first choice. These are the ONLY times in our collective lives that we have eaten spinach on our own accord and without Mom threatening us with bodily harm. No matter what Popeye the sailor man says, you have to try it yourself to believe that spinach can indeed be so delicious and can indeed crackle!

Other starters we dabbled with were, duck in a spicy plum sauce (first time, terrific, could do with a little less spice), and some prawn and water-chestnut dumplings (second time, terrific too). For the main course, they gave us a large size fish (I forgot to ask the name) which had been steamed to perfection and which was served in a sea of fresh ginger and soya sauce - this was absolutely divine! The fish was just correctly moist on the inside, neither runny nor overly dried out, the unique taste of the fish had maintained itself and was clearly tangible aside from the strong sauce flavours.

MC, you`ve done it again!

Superb food, quick & courteous service, good ambience is what awaits when you visit it. It will definitely delight you everytime & anytime, must try out!!

It`s always been a pleasure to visit Mainland China, to experience very good food, great ambience and courteous, smart and prompt service. I have visited the place atleast 20 times and don`t mind going there again.

Excellent food with superb services. You should try the Chicken clear soup and chicken dumbling and ofcourse Prawn Hargao, however the much hyped Sunday lunch is not that impressive!! Expensive place, around 1.5k for 2/3 people.

Excellent food. East as well as west branch. The Crab meat fried rice in xo chilli sauce and crispy squid in shechwan chilli(starter) are excellent !! The buffet is also good !!

This is my second review for MLC, I`ve also put up one for MLC in Andheri east. Though I like the food in east better, we come here to the west because its much bigger. The dim sums here are fabulous, both veg and otherwise. Service as in all the MLC`s is super. Thumbs up once again.
