Eau Chew

I fell in love with the vibe as soon as I saw the name of resturant written in simple red hung outside an old building, near an abandoned petrol pump. The old yet modern steps take you to first floor, inside spacious and extremely comfortable sitting area. I had ordered meat ball soup and josphine rice. Soup of meat ball soup was CLASS. I think josphine rice is supposed to be comfort food with all good ingredients which your mom would want to eat. While you are waiting for food, you can check the paintings hung there. One was of golden fish painted in whimsical way, masterpiece. Second one is of mountains (pic attached). If you see them, you are stuck with longing which artist might have felt. Each brush strikes seemed to have longed for the place loved and missed deeply. Owners should put tiny spotlights upon these two paintings. They are jewels need to be adorned. Anything based on soup is worth your travel and time to this place. Will definitely visit this place again to explore other food items in menu.

Not very hard to find, very near to Chandni Chowk gate no.6 behind and old petrol pump, signboard is clearly visible from the road. Head up to first floor, follow the sign. Enter, gate a table, get the menu, order, and enjoy authentic Chinese. Not at all spicy, you can add spice yourself and adjust to your taste. Chimney Soup is a must have in winter. Very very healthy and comforting. Same goes for Josephine Noodles, very well made, the pan fried parts are not at all burnt, very skillfully cooked. Super impressed. Schezwan Chicken was very blant, probably this is authentic taste but my taste buds are used to with kolkata style very very spicy one. Roasted Chilli Pork was ok, could've been better. Chilli Pork dry is best at Chung Wah for me, no other restaurant has done better than them, only Hatari comes to a close second place. Overall impression, very nice, free from over hyping crowd and annoying gen-zs. Definitely recommend for a comforting winter meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Much love 🫰

It's one of Kolkata's hidden gems, doing business for generations now. The spot is a lil walk from Chandni Metro Gate 5, the building is very old but the interiors inside is so darn cosy. It's so lovely coming to this place always. The food is amazing and so is the quality of their service. I ordered the Chicken Yaam Wontons and the Pork Cantonsese noodles! Couldn't even finish the noodles on my own! So got it packed for home. They give hand written bills and honestly I found that too adorable especially now with the fast pacing online bills and online payments! Keep up the quality of food and service guys! ❤️

The exterior of Eau Chew building is pretty gloomy, however the interior is surprisingly clean and great for dining with any size group. I ordered the pork in black bean sauce, pork Manchurian, and pork fried rice; everything was quite tasty, though the portions were just okay, not massive. They have a wide range of menu, and the location is super convenient near the metro station. Overall, a decent place to visit, but check the restaurant timing on google before visiting.

We went there and were happy with the quantity and the quality of most of the dishes, and the one dish that was underwhelming the comped it off the bill as soon as we voiced our concerns. One of the better heritage chinese eateries in Kolkata. Amazing behaviour and spacious interiors with quick and tasty food. Will go again.

The restaurant was very simple and it was really difficult to find the location of the restaurant. But their food was so yummy and delicious. Highly recommended for a good meal in winter❤️

I went back to Eau Chew out of sheer nostalgia and the way I remembered the food from my fresh-out-of-college days. It don’t help that the restaurant has managed to garner fairly healthy social media support in the meantime, leading me to solidify my yearnings. But either my tastebuds have evolved, my expectations from a dining ambience heightened or I simply crave better service than two casual looking servers in a restaurant with at least 20 tables. Even 30 years ago, Eau Chew looked like an establishment that had seen better days. Today, it looks outright decrepit from outside, and something like an oriental version of Basanta Cabin from inside - way too informal, way too little sense of occasion. All that could he overlooked if the was extraordinary. It wasn’t. While the signature Chimney Soup stood up to reputation, the rest of our order - mixed fried rice, Josephine noodles, some sort if fried spicy pork and a chicken dish, they were all disappointing in their presentation and blandness. My guess is, their original chefs have moved on, or they have simply watered down their original recipes to accommodate more forgiving patrons. That brings me to price - way overpriced for the fare served, service and ambience quality. They are priced at par with some of Park Street’s best, without being anywhere near the customer satisfaction these might offer. Eau Chew is unfortunately a shadow of its former glory.

The worst food tasted in such a long time the price is way to high for this taste less food they gave the wontons very oily ! Wch should have been boiled only ! The chow had the veggies only boiled no flavour nothing really worst ! I don’t usually waste food ! But this was horrible!
