Shanghai - Flavours of China Town (Tollygunge) — Restaurant in Kolkata

This a new chinese cuisine franchise in city, though they have some Korean and Indonesian dishes in their menu. I will rate this keeping in mind that it is an indo-chinese outlet after all 🤘 Let me share my group's experience from last week 🙏🏻

Pricing - If I look just at the price, slightly upper on the costly side. If judged from the quality and quantity point of view, it's well justified along with the ambience, talking of which;

Interiors - The inside was nice and cozy with some good oriental interior designing. We were lucky to get seated on the only table with clear road view. The efforts of playing only oriental instrumental music is personally not appreciated. Either get some good library of tunes, or just stick to simple lounge music. Not everything needs to be overdone 🙆‍♂️

Food - The food was nice and on average, slightly beyond our expectations. The fish side dish was okay. Fresh and simple , nothing complicated and extraordinary. We ordered the Chicken Mee Goreng and Chicken Pad Thai. Both of those were excellent 👌 Special points to the Chicken Pad Thai noodles for its simple yet flavourful combination of ingredients. 🍜 Things went south for the Pork Chops we ordered, the meat was very dry and there was far too much amount of lard than its acceptable, didn't enjoy this at all 🐗👎. Also there's another story behind it which brings me to the last and the bad part of the story;

Service - Service was a bit slow despite having a relatively less rush at that time of the day. Also, we were being very casually misled by the waiter about the portion size of the starters. Upon asking for the first time we were informed that pork chops would be having 3 portions of pork, for which we confirmed and placed an order and took the time to decide our main course and side dish. By the time we were finished deciding, the waiter came back to inform us that the pork chops only contained 2 pieces, and not 3 pieces as he previously informed us. I asked if we could still switch orders as there were 3 of us and it was very dumb to entertain us with 2 pieces of pork chop. But the waiter refused and said that it couldn't be done and that he just came to update us from the kitchen. Not very cool! 😐😮‍💨

Overall, it was an okay experience. Food was okay. 👍

Recommendation - for a change in taste you can have a try

N.B - Recommendation for the restaurant owner/manager, please give the staff a proper refresher training regarding the menu and how to assist first time...

This Shanghai Outlet is very close to my home. I was full of excitement when it was opened. They convinced me to buy a lifetime VIP membership which I will get a 20 percent discount at any outlet on weekdays except festivals. Food is very tasty but the portion size of the main course is a bit less. Service is good. But the point is what I will complain about is they denied me using a VIP membership card before the Durga Puja festival on Dwitya (a weekday) and said that festival already started. Durga Puja starts from Sasti officially and in most working calendars it is from Saptami. The management is very unpredictable and unstable about their offers. Now they say suddenly told when we went for dine-in that the Lifetime Membership card is no longer valid. The management had taken off the card. So firstly why did they convince customers to buy loyalty membership? So bad business strategy. I will not complain about service but the central management is the worst. They have a very bad...
