Authentic Chinese, Desi Chinese, Chinese with a European twist... Pune has it all. These 5 restaurants will amaze you with their Cantonese style of cooking and what all they can probably do with the simple and humble Chinese spices and some ingredients here and there. We looked out for the best available Chinese restaurants and here are the results.
Wicked China, Ishanya Mall, Yerawada
As the name suggests, this restaurant has been a favourite of many, simply, because they cook Chinese with an edge of molecular gastronomy and they are certainly trying to do more than the usual even otherwise.
For instance, they make Omelettes with different types of eggs and Chinese spices which are appealing and something never seen before. Apart from that, the appetizers are quite different and the usage of Cheese in Chinese cuisine is new and interesting for some people, especially the vegetarian ones. The ambience is nice and quirky, a nice fun brunch place for weekends.

This is quite a legendary restaurant and it has been around for over 10 years now. Their simplicity lies in the complexity of the cuisine, keeping things strictly delicious is very much their motto and it reflects in every dish you call for.
The typically done Cantonese style dishes are really amazing to taste, some of those could be spicy on the palate so make sure you request for a lesser spicy version of the same to cut out the heat. The fine dine restaurant also serves some fantastic Jasmine Tea and other teas.

The quick and easy-going chain of restaurants is here to stay because they serve desi Chinese and we love it.
The different type of Noodles which can be paired with the various type of Chinese style chicken tenders.
The Spicy Sichuan style chicken or Paneer is really nice to go with Fried Rice or Hakka Style Noodles. The better part is that it is not only limited to noodles and rice, but you can also even get Chicken Wings in 3 different Chinese style sauces ranging from Honey Chili to the Sichuan style one.
