Good Chinese flavour, ambiance also good. Must try Roasted Chilli Pork, Chimney Soup is good test but it's like almost clear soup so, if you like thik soup then it's not for you. Josephine Rice & Noodles nice test but both are gravy.

This is one of the finest and one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the city. It is family-run and has achieved legendary status amongst the locals. Well, rightfully so! This isn’t fancy and this doesn’t have any bells and whistles that the newer restaurants have. It doesn’t need to. The food here is delicious and the quality is top notch. So, the reputation of Eau Chew precedes itself. It opens up in regular intervals of 12pm - 3pm and then 6pm - 10pm and is a must visit for any Asian food aficionado or just anyone who wants to try out mouthwatering Chinese cuisine.

Great quality and Tasty food. Generations old business. Try to visiting during the evening as this place is always full during lunch and there is long wait line.

I came here to try only the famous Josephine noodles and it truly had the authentic Chinese taste. Eau Chew is the longest family run Chinese restaurant in Kolkata which is currently handled by Mr. Joel Huang. The vibe is modest and there are a few paintings and Chinese inscriptions on the wall. It used to serve as a tiffin spot for Europeans long ago. For prawn lovers like me, Josephine noodles is heaven as it contains generous amounts of vegetables, pork and prawns and a little bit bland which can be eliminated by the salts and sauces present on the table. The other famous dishes of this restaurant are roasted chilli pork, chimney soup, Josephine rice and Cantonese Noodles. Lastly, the serving size is huge and 1 plate is enough for 2 people. Though located in an old, dilapidated building, it truly is a gem of Kolkata. Will recommend this award winning restaurant to everyone. The Jesus photo on the wall is the cherry on top.

Coming back to Eau Chew after more than 23 years. Food was awesome as always. The chicken sweet corn soup and the Sau Mai was the best of all. 🤗👍👌

I was disappointed and was not worth the hype Calcutta people make honestly. Went there alone and the server was really acting condescendingly as if I ate there for free. I asked for suggestions and he was acting angry when I asked how the dishes tasted like me. It felt like he was the owner of the place and I was a peasant who had never tasted Chinese food before. I have eaten more authentic Chinese food at restaurants, bakeries and ice cream shops at Chinatown in chicago and the food here is not bad but not authentic either. Will never come to this place again. Not recommended , here's alternatives if you want: 1. D'Ley chinese eating place 2. Sei Vui 3. Pou Hing

Known as one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Kolkata, award-winning eatery that lives up to its fame. Don’t expect fancy sitting or ambience. It’s a neat and clean small place that offers delicious pocket-friendly food. The restaurant is not available on food delivery apps and the only way to experience the food is to go visit the place. If you want, they are happy to make it to-go provided you pick it up in person. I would highly recommend the chimney soup and the Cantonese noodles. Go get yourself a taste of mouthwatering Chinese food.
