China House - Mumbai

I had the pleasure of dining at China House Restaurant and it exceeded all my expectations in terms of both food and atmosphere. The restaurant has a modern and sleek decor with a spacious seating area that's perfect for groups or intimate dinners. The dishes were outstanding and authentic. Each dish was beautifully presented and had a perfect balance of flavors. I loved the crispy Peking duck, which was cooked to perfection and served with an array of condiments. The dim sum was also outstanding, with a variety of innovative fillings, like lobster and truffle.

An upscale Chinese resto located at the Hyatt in Mumbai We enjoyed the food, with the garlic fried rice and chicken dumplings being our favs. Drinks were also made well. The service was outstanding, with our server checking in on us frequently to ensure our food was served and to our liking. Decor was upscale as mentioned, as it usually is for 5 star hotels.

The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were happy to assist us with our choices and help navigate the menu. Not to mention, the location of the restaurant is great with a breathtaking view of the city.

I had a fantastic dining experience with a variety of exciting dishes to try. The garlic fried rice was especially delicious. The chefs were also very accommodating to allergies, which was greatly appreciated. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Visit 1 Relatively inexperienced staff My first visit to the restaurant which came a few months ago couldn't have been worse. Before going there, I had let them know in advance about my intentions to use a Hyatt Gift Card I didn't have any obligation to tell them so in advance . Now coming to the experience, the staff were unaware of the same. They didn't know how to redeem the voucher, and initially, they denied stating that they aren't a participating hotel, despite the voucher listing the property as a participant brand. Even when a manager came, he too didn't seem to have much idea, and refused initially, which was really shocking embarrassing since someone in that position in such a hotel is definitely expected to know about the basics of voucher redemption and eligibility. Hyatt has been selling gift cards for quite a long time. After some arguments, it was rechecked and then they were able to redeem the voucher successfully. But the experience was affected adversely due to such service. Coming to the food, again the staff didn't have a proper idea of portion size. A portion size which as the manager called would be enough for 4 people was not even enough even for 1 person. Again, having some knowledge of what the dishes contain, and their sizes, i.a. is expected from staff, and they should arrange for someone who possesses such knowledge, in case they are unbeknownst to the same. The cashews it was the first time I have seen a similar level restaurant offering them pro bono to every guest were so delicious, that one couldn't stop eating them. The staff did accommodate my request for bringing another bowl of them. However, I will admit that the duck I have eaten here is the best I have eaten anywhere hitherto, and will definitely recommend it to anyone going to this restaurant. It did take ~50 mins to bring, although the staff had quoted ~40 mins, and is available both in half about ideal for 1 full sizes, and comes up with a couple of sauces and flatbread rolls, although it is on a dry side still. The lamb slices I had eaten were decent too. Visit 2 The bitter experience last time was still pretty much in my mind, and to eliminate this from repeating I decided not to use Hyatt GV this time, despite that being a valid eligible mode of payment. The pork bao, as told to me, was indeed one of the best, and so was the lamb dish, which was flavorful and medium cooked, and delicious. I got to taste some bartender special mocktails. The overall service was better than the previous one. Also, do try the blue lagoon Shirley temple mocktails, which were exactly what I was looking for and amongst the very best I have tried so far. The background setting of dim light is really good too.
