China Toss - Pune

Awesome Asian food. Every item was great. Very neat packaging and portion sizes were extensive. Fish was excellent. Must try restaurant.

China Toss is a restaurant located in Mulik Capital Complex in Kalyani Nagar.All this while, I had passed this place many a times, but never had got a chance to visit it.<br/ Last month, I finally went there as part of PEO tasting. The restaurant mainly serves Chinese and Asian food, but recently has also started with an Indian food menu.<br/ <br/ #Ambience<br/ <br/ The ambience is elegant and graceful. As we enter, we get to see a Lord Budhdha statue in front of us. The entire paraphernalia of the place is reminiscent of the oriental world.<br/ We can see bamboo sticks hanging from the ceiling, chinese lanterns, wall hangings, chinese rugs and lights. The seating has many variants from high chairs to cushioned chairs to sofa seats.<br/ We also have an open section on the right where we have wooden tables and chairs. Weather permitting, the open section must be magical during the evenings.<br/ There is also a well equipped bar on our left.<br/ <br/ #Service<br/ <br/ The staff was extremely courteous during our visit, but a little slow to my liking. Though all our requests were accepted and we had a good time.<br/ <br/ #Food<br/ <br/ We had the following mocktails during our visit-<br/ <br/ Watermelon and Basil-Fresh basil, watermelon juice and aerated water. It was a nice option given the hot afternoon.<br/ <br/ Guava Chilli- Guava Juice, tobasco, red chilli and salt. This is one of my favourite mocktails and they did complete justice to it. Good stuff.<br/ <br/ Fresh Lime Soda- Our humble lime and soda concoction. Refreshing as always.<br/ <br/ Fruit Punch- The best mocktail we had . It had a mix of various fruit juices and ice cream. The resultant flavour was wonderful.<br/ <br/ Mango Mule- Here, they mixed Mango puree, ginger,lime, cucumber, mint, honey syrup and soda to prepare this mocktail. It was good, but could have been better in terms of blending of the ingredients.<br/ <br/ We had the following items in food-<br/ <br/ Smoked Chilli Mushroom- Mushroom pieces coated with corn flour and then deep fried in a sweet and spicy delectable sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks.<br/ A must try for mushroom lovers.<br/ <br/ Crispy Chilli Garlic Chicken- Chicken pieces tossed in a chilly garlic sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks and then fried until it turns crispy. The sauce had made the dish delicious. However, had the chicken been more tender, it would have been much more enjoyable.<br/ <br/ Shanghai Dimsum Veg- Steamed dimsums with filling comprising of an assortment of vegetables and topped with a spicy sauce and along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks.<br/ The dimsums were steamed nicely and vegetables were well cooked. Overall a pleasurable dish.<br/ <br/ Shredded Lamb in Cumin Sauce- This was a rare miss in our meal. Sliced lamb fried in a wok along with onion, leeks,coriander and cumin. The downside was that the lamb was chewy and did not blend with cumin at all.<br/ Maybe they can tweak this dish to make it better.<br/ <br/ Yakitori Prawns- This was a real marvel from their kitchen. I can come back just to try this. Slow fried prawns cooked in a wok in yakitori sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks. The prawns were succulent and left me wanting for more.<br/ <br/ Thai Red Curry Veg- Slow simmered spicy curry with thai red curry paste, fresh sweet coconut, sour tamarind and fresh herbs. The gravy was consistent and the myriad flavours of the different ingredients could be dinstinctly deciphered. The taste of coconut milk was not overpowering which was extremely pleasing for me.<br/ It was served along with well cooked steamed rice.<br/ <br/ Chilly Garlic Noodles Veg- Noodles cooked in chilli garlic paste along with various vegetables and garnished with leeks. The noodles were cooked to perfection and were not oily.<br/ <br/ Dessert Platter- The dessert platter included honey noodles(Darsaan) with ice cream.Here flat noodles were fried, soaked in a honey based sauce and served with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate sauce is poured over both darsaan and ice cream.<br/ <br/ Next we had fried ice cream, where vanilla ice cream is covered in coconut crumbs and then deep fried and topped with chocolate sauce. It was really tempting.<br/ <br/ At last we had chocolate brownie garnished with nuts. Sumptuous and a treat for chocolate lovers.

One of the best chinese restaurants in the city. The ambience is good and the staff is friendly too. Loved the veg pan fried noodles and the crispy garlic chicken.

Fan of Chinese Food…. Yes….<br/ <br/ Fan of Chindian Food ….. definitely Yes…..<br/ <br/ Yes….I m in #teamchindian<br/ <br/ Recently I visited China Toss in Kalyani Nagar to have Lunch there. <br/ <br/ Nicely maintained and well-decorated restaurant with an ample amount of sitting area. Also, there is provision of outside sitting as well.<br/ <br/ Menu is really really vast. If you are not specific of what you want to have, you will be lost. We went for recommendations.<br/ <br/ In drinks, we tried some amazing mocktails :<br/ <br/ #Watermelon_and_Basil: Very Refreshing drink comprising sweet and sour, fresh basil and watermelon and aerated water. I really liked it and I can have it as my summer drink. #musthave<br/ <br/ #Guava_Chilli: #naamhikaafihai kind of feeling. Consisting of guava juice, sweet and sour, tobasco, red chilli and salt. Perfect guava chilli I can have here.<br/ <br/ #Fruit_Punch: Blend of different fruits and ice cream. Really nicely prepared and delicious.<br/ <br/ Starters, if we talk about, we had : <br/ <br/ #Crispy_Chilli_Garlic_Chicken: These were nothing but finger chicken which were fried and made crispy and afterwards tossed in the Chilly Garlic Sauce. These were nice and crispy, and really good to have. But I wished the chicken fingers were more tender as it was very deep-fried.<br/ <br/ #Smokey_Chilli_Mushroom: Mushroom pieces which are deep-fried and tossed with sweet and spicy garlic sauce. I really liked it as I am a mushroom lover.<br/ <br/ #Shredded_ Lamb_in_Cumin_Sauce: Its a #highlyrecommended dish from my side. This is wok-fried sliced lamb with onion, coriander, leeks with a dash of cumin. The lamb was tender and cooked really nicely. <br/ <br/ #Yakitori_Prawns: This is my second #recommended dish. These prawns are slow fried and cooked, then tossed in wok with Yakitori sauce. Really Yummy it was and #must_have for prawns lovers.<br/ <br/ #Shanghai_Dimsums: Trying Chinese cuisine is incomplete without trying dimsums. These delectable dim sums were stuffed with vegetables and served with a spicy sauce. Special mention for the sauce as it was quite yummy. Dimsums are really #worth_trying.<br/ <br/ Main Course :<br/ <br/ #Thai_Red_Curry: The slow-cooked spicy curry consisting of red curry paste, Fresh sweet coconut, sour tamarind, and fresh herbs. The Thai red curry was served with a bowl of steamed rice. The curry was nice and tasty.<br/ <br/ #Chilli Garlic Noodles: Fresh noodles wok-fried with fresh chillies and garlic and also consisting of assorted vegetables. Very nicely cooked and really yummy.<br/ <br/ Desserts: If you have a dessert menu with all your favourite desserts and you are super confused with what to order. Then there's an option which came to rescue #Dessert_Platter. It consisted of all the available desserts. We had Brownie, Fried Ice cream and honey noodles with ice cream. Chocolate brownie garnished with nuts was really nice (I am a chocolate lover so I really liked it). Fried Ice cream which was coconut flavoured crumb fried vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce. I liked it as I had it for the very first time so I had no options to compare it with. Honey noodles with ice cream is like must-have dessert in a Chinese or rather Chindian restaurant.<br/ Overall experience was amazing.
