ginkgo restaurant

this place is a hidden gem of kolkata. menu is unbelievably great and pocket friendly. we tried 1.pork momo. 4.5/5 (149/-)
2. grilled bbq chicken bao. 4/5 (152/-)
3. kolkata’s favourite triple szechwanfriedrice chicken. 4.2/5 (193/-) this is more or less sufficient for two
service is very good and polite. overall had a great time. 💕

amazing! discovering gingko was a pleasure! brilliant food at affordable prices! unbelievable quality and at these prices! only concern would be, ginkgo needs a better social media presence for more people to discover. such a brilliant place deserves to be known by all. my regards mr. biplab for being a great host. must try :- chestnut dimsums, fish dumplings, basilfriedrice, red curry pork. also, ask for the red bean jam. all the foods at these prices unbelievable and totally worth it!

ginkgo kolkata ,being kolkata's most pocket friendly cafe😍😍

🟠location: just opposite to south city mall

two things wanna highlight about ginkgo are great pan asian food and very much affordable pocket pinch.

also in ginkgo,you can get not only variety of pan asian dishes but also some unique dishes to other places in kolkata.

from their menu, had tried-

pokchoy wrapped chicken- rs.97,
darjeeling style chicken steam momo- rs.107,
cheese, spinach, water chestnut dimsums(black one)- rs.116,
fish dumpling with red hot chilli oil(pink one)- rs.113,
cfcfriedchicken bao- rs.137,
ginkgo style chilli chicken with scallion- rs.157,
spicy lemon basil noodles(chicken)- rs.117,
chilli chicken.

pokchoy wrapped chicken is not only droolsome by its look,but a must try dish from ginkgo. chicken slices wrapped with pokchoy leaves and then sautéed in a gravy rich with garlic- awesome.

darjeeling style chicken steam momo is our regular steam momo but more soft and larger than usual size.

cheese, spinach, water chestnut dimsums are black ones in photo,even if you are not a veg lover- you still should try it, soft juicy and tasteful; also try to have this with their black bean sauce to enhance the flavours.

fish dumpling with red hot chilli oil is another showstopper, pink dumplings with soft fish filling in it and then dipping it in red hot chilli oil- taste at its best.

cfcfriedchicken bao, where the patty was not at all dry and the bao is fully loaded with bao, mayonnaise and fresh lettuce.

ginkgo style chilli chicken with scallion is perfect for munching specially when you are waiting for your main course to arrive. here chicken was tossed in a sauce with full of bell peppers, onions and spring onions.

spicy lemon basil noodles is different from regular noodles, thin noodles with chicken and veggies and a beautiful aroma of lemon- all the flavours are complementing each other perfectly.

so if you want to have asian food that too in a cozy place at real good pocket pinch then make ginkgo your usual hang out place just like me.

asian and american food gone pocket friendly at gingko restaurant, right opposite to south city mall.

imagine spending a long enjoyable day at south city and suddenly, you are cash strapped and cannot have a proper dinner. now imagine a place that serves up some really innovative flavours and yet has a pocket pinch of ₹300 for 2.

with comfortable seating for around 15 people, the ambience resembles an asian getaway place with the flute being played to give a serene feeling. the entire place has a calm, soothing vibe, with a huge buddha mural on one wall.

coming to the food that was served, the dumplings, momos and dimsums had terrific variations to it. darjeeling style chicken momo, cheese-spinach-water chestut dimsums and fish dumpling with red hot chilli oil were the variants under which all of them are must tries.

besides that, there were other crowd favorites like the gfcfriedchicken bao, pok choy wrapped chicken and noodles.

a must try affordable place for everyone.

simply horrible. please refund my money. it was complete waste of money. soggy dimsums with bad prawn fillings. prawn salt and pepper too salty, hot, and peppery. chilli chicken was too salty too. andfriedrice didn’t taste good either.

its really a hidden gem . went there after getting some reviews and recommendation,a highly recommended place to get pocket friendly food .

we had :-
darjeeling chicken momo :- which was too god , must try with their self made sauces ( 5/5)
ginkgo special chickenfriedrice :- very light and tasty , sufficient amount ( 4/5)
thai basil chicken gravy :- it was my personal favourite , 😊(5/5)

go and give your taste bud a new try

sweet corn soup was without egg whites . this is not acceptable.friedrice was ok in taste but small in portion . garlic chiken & momo was tasty .

food i tried out

*cheese, spinach & water chestnuts dim sum*

*steamed crystal prawn har gow*
*roasted bar be que pork bao*
*ginkgo style chili pork with scallion*
*american highway style buffalo chicken wings*
*thai basilfriedrice chicken*
*lemon basil noodles egg*
*chicken with roasted peanut & dry chili kung pao sauce*
*fish chili oyster sauce*

each and ever item is worth a try and worth the price.

a hidden gem, enjoy the best of pan-asian at unbelievable prices.!

the beckoning of a glutton, the curiosity of a wanderer, and a kitchen underrated for producing hands on some of the best pan asian and oriental delicacies in the city of kolkata, so much so that when you compare from the point of pricing, you wouldn't find it hard to decide on a clear winner. ginkgo, a hidden gem will woe you with its flavours and entice you with their stunning flavour profiles.

their stunning range of colours used in their wide range of dimsum come from from all natural extracts; combine the melting goodness with a dash of the hot chilli oil or even with the sweet peanut sauce and you shall have a melange of flavours enriching you with a satisfaction like never before. a small food joint but packs a punch like a big monster, gingko is that surprise you would want to surprise your partner with.

start with the cheese, spinach & water chestnut dimsum. loaded with cream cheese, water chestnut and spinach, enjoy this deliciousness with their special chilli oil. the fish dumpling comes with a filling of scallions, ginger and soya sauce. encased in a pink wrapping, probably extracted naturally from a beetroot, enjoy the chunks of fish melting in your mouth combined with the goodness of the chilli oil.

a classic from guangzhou china, the prawn hargao, with the outside made out of tapioca and wheat starch, and the inside filled with bamboo shoots, finely chopped shrimps and sesame oil, prawn hargao remains a quintessential part of any dimsum feast you may wish to sink your teeth in. roasted barbeque pork bao had roasted pork along with wasabi kimchi garlic mayo put together between two soft buns.

feast on their ginkgo style chilli pork with scallions having roasted pork mixed with spices, fresh chilli, seasoning, soy, capsicum and leeks. some sweet and spicy cyanne pepper hot sauce mixed american highway styled buffalo chicken wings, and we quickly made our way to the mains. with mains equally as good as the starters, it was a tough choice to decide on the winner.

thai styled chickenfriedrice and lemon egg basil noodles paired up with an exciting and aggressive fish in chilli oyster sauce and a relatively mild chicken with roasted peanuts in dry chilli kung pao sauce. fantastic balance of flavours, neither of the gravy dishes too overpowering, balancing perfectly with the rice and the noodles dish, ginkgo truly displayed it's class and proved why they are what they are! a must try, these are flavours that will surely make you come back for more.

disclaimer: this review is based on invitation from the restaurant management...

cost effective but food was too salty, too much msg even though i'm not opposed to its use but it should be added in dishes in moderation. the starter was impossible to eat without rice because it was so salty. same with the side dishes andfriedrice was clumpy and sticking together. the seasoning used apart from salt was not bad and was therefore edible.

really good quality food with such competitive pricing. the dumplings were really good.friedrice could have been better. keep it up...
