Another Chinese restaurant in the city is always welcome. We being a huge Chinese food lover constantly crave stir-fries and noodles, hence our never-ending hunt for Chinese food. It was recently we came to know about this funky casual place garnering attention for its Asian food so without wasting time we bagged a table at ‘Mr. Choy’. Food bloggers simply adores Mr. Choy for its excellent food and insta-worthy interiors that is responsible for an overworked Instagram. Location of Mr. Choy is a hip one too, i.e. middle lane of Khan Market, South Delhi. It’s because of its trendy vibe that Mr. Choy has become a hot favourite of the foodies. This place is perfect for a lively lunch with friends or a round of drinks with some Asian nibbles in the evenings.
The men responsible for bringing in the talent is Augusto Cabrera who worked with The Oberoi and so did Mr. Choy. They add their genius to the menu by bringing to you five star quality Chinese food for Khan Market prices. Menu amalgamates several Asian cuisines. Other than Chinese; Japanese, Vietnamese, Asian and Thai cuisines are explored here with style. Seafood preparations are out of this world, a must have.
