It is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic Indo-Chinese flavours with a modern twist. The ambience is warm and inviting, with tasteful interiors that create a cosy dining experience. The menu offers a good variety – from classic favourites like Hakka noodles and fried rice to flavourful gravies and sizzling starters. The Schezwan fried rice and crispy chicken were our personal favourites, packed with spice and flavour. Vegetarian options were equally satisfying, with paneer chilli and spring rolls cooked to perfection.
Service was prompt and courteous, with staff checking in often to ensure everything was to our liking. Portion sizes are decent for the price, making it a good value for both small groups and families. One small area for improvement would be the waiting time during peak hours, as it can get a bit crowded. Also, a few dishes could be less oily for a lighter dining experience.
Overall, The Chinese Story is a great choice for tasty Chinese food in Porur, offering quality dishes, a pleasant atmosphere, and attentive service. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the mood for some spicy, satisfying...
Read moreA brilliantly ambient place. Pros - Food taste is good and felt more authentic than many other places. Quantity of Noodles and Rice are quite large for 2 adults. The starters are also pretty decent in taste and quantity. The Captain was helpful in choosing our dishes. They also have chopsticks, if needed. Cons - No parking space. Be prepared to park on the roadside. Waiters are not available to take care of the in-house diners. They are busy to cater to Swiggy and Uber guys only. They brought the food items without bringing the plates. We had to wait for 5 minutes and after repeated requests the plates were kept. Cutleries were also not kept sufficiently. Long wait time to get a waiter to notice us. No finger bowl provided after your food.
Overall, a nice place for a family food outing. However, be well prepared for long wait time due to waiters unavailability to assist you when needed. Also look out for the 6% service charge that gets added to your bill without checking for our go ahead. It would be removed only...
Read moreOne of the best Chinese restaurants in & around Porur. Had ordered Nanking chicken noodles, Schezwan chicken chopsey & Dragon chicken for 3 of us & we really loved the authentic Chinese taste especially Nanking chicken noodles and Dragon chicken were one of its kind here & tasted very good! Special mention to their exemplary service as we rang up at around 2.50 pm to check availability but manager Babu was so courteous that he took orders over phone as restaurant closes by 3 pm & he ensured that before restaurant closes & by the time we arrived, the food just got prepared! Haven't come across such pleasing service who will go to any extent to cater to customers. Also waiter Laxman was very friendly & courteous. Their portions are huge & one main course sufficiently serves two adults. Highly recommended! Parking will be a bit of an issue as they don't have dedicated space but security will guide you to park your vehicle at available spots at or near this restaurant pretty...
