was there for an early dinner yesterday around 730. was seated promptly and the staff seemed fairly efficient and well trained.
the food we went for was the hot & sour soup which was fairly average. The three treasure veggies were good if a little blandish. The golden onion fried rice was absolutely fantastic. The pan fried noodles were awesome as well. The ice tea was weak.
overall the food seems pretty good, will have to try them out in greater depth again.

Name/Location: Mainland China
Average Cost: 200-300 a dish - around 500 a person
Food: As the name suggest Mainland China serves chinese food and in my opinion its one of the best places for chinese. The quality of food at MLC is really good and their chicken is unusually tender. I mean unless ur heaving a fried chicken the MLC chicken just melts in your mouth. They also have good quality sea food available and theyl ususally make a seafood version of any dish you want. Try the General Tao's favourite chicken which is based in a brown sauce and is medium spicey. Their Sliced Pepper Chicken is also an excellent dish which used to be on the menu but they will still make it for you if you request it. In deserts you have to try their Darsang(?) which are these crispy friend honey noodles served with vanilla ice cream. its realy good!!!! Overall the food here is really good and you cant really go wrong with what you order.
Service: The waiters at Mainland China are polite and everything and they can take your order if you know what you want but if you want some suggestions you should probably talk to Mr Bhutia or Mr Deepak who are at the front desk. They are really good at suggesting dishes to you and really know the food well. The only complaint I have against the service is when you ask for the food to be packed. the quanitity mysteriously becomes less !!
Ambience: The ambience is decent enough though if you come there on a weekend and have to wait, ull have to wait outside nd its not aced there. The inside is pretty good. They have opened up the private area and made it the smoking section though its not as nice as the rest of the restaurant. The rest of the restaurant is kinda symetrical. nd there are plenty of large tables which can seat 7-8 people. The branch in Lokhandwala is a lot bigger but the food is better in the Powai branch
Conclusion: Mainland china is a real nice place to go with family or with a chick. its not really tht expensive but doesnt have a cheap feel to it at all. it is exceptionally popular with people from powai and it has many fans like me who jsut swear by it

dim lighting, difficulty in reading the menu. Food is very average. They don't try to make it look chinese like kamling with waiters, thier attire & restaurant furnishings.
was once good. now - terrible.
never going back
China valley's a better bet!

I have been a constant bhakt of Mainland China for a few years now. This time i had gone after some months. The place has transformed dramatically.. not that their food has changed... they don't need to as they were always excellent. But now... they have made dining a full experience. Right from the Chinese tea that one is offered as one settles to the last bit.
What surprised me was their dedication to service. I had filled a feedback form and my always forgetful partner had forgotten his credit card there. They called me up to tell me that i had forgotten it. Kept the same sealed in an envelope and when my driver went to pick it up after two days they called me to verify the person who had come and whether they should hand the card over.
I am surprised that such good customer service exists in India.
Hats off Anajn ..... you have set a new customer service benchmark for standalone restaurants in the country.
