Ordered mixed Chowmein from this joint. Its satisfactory and the quantity is absolutely wow. Tastes good with less oil. Enough amount of prawn and chicken were there. Good for two. Ordered chilli chicken also with 6pcs chicken. It was nicely cooked but the chilli was way too much.

Mixed hakka noodles was v good in taste the noodles we're not over boiled n contains a lot of pieces of prawns,chicken, veggies. Next comes the mix American chopsuey it was also v good. The quantity was sufficient.

Kim Ling began its journey way back in 1972 in a middle class residential area of Kolkata when the only other restaurant in the vicinity was Mandarin (1969). It started as a take away joint only, a concept alien to the Kolkatans then. This one room no nonsense joint stood the test of time and continues till date on the same format no delivery (app based or self), no phone in orders, no cards, no e wallets take away orders against cash payments only. The other thing that has not changed is the quality, taste and authenticity. Here Chinese food is essentially Chinese, and not customized Indo Chinese.Signature dishes Canton Noodles, Thai soup, Fried Rice, chilli chicken (not the deep fried Kolkata chilli chicken served in 'black sauce ', but stir fried chicken in chilli, soya and onion simply outstanding). Pork is regularly available here and Ajino Moro is a strict no no. The only 'Kim Ling item ' that has disappeared from the menu is the baked crab that was a super hit in the seventies.Pay a visit to reconfirm that 'food ' decides the survival of a place that is into 'the business of food '. Watch out for the weekly holiday Tuesday.

Went there the other day, the ambience is nice well decorated and painted also it has a nice cosy feeling, ordered hot and sour soup it was nice, however slightly sweet. Tried the Hakka chow fried rice and garlic chicken, food was good but nothing worth raving about. Prices are reasonable and the service is fine.

Tried it once when i went to my friend's place in kalighat after reading all the positive reviews in Zomato. Really an authentic chinese restaurant which serves excellent momos. Chilli chicken is a must try and steamed pork momo is really delicious. Fried spring chicken was a let down though. A very small eatery which doesn't even deliver food. Will try their main course items the next time.
