Frankly speaking, today old China Town of Kolkata is quite gloomy compared to Tangra (pronounced asTyangra/ট্যাংরা) - the new China Town in terms of food offerings. Tangra has some very good restaurants with good ambience. And Khoka goes there to have Chicken Chowmein and Chili fish (Ref: Dwitiyo Purush).

Jokes apart, Tiretta Bazaar has its own old school charm and they don't burn your pockets at all. Being quite affordable and location near to College street, hence college goers have quite heavy footfall here. Another thing is none of these Tiretta 'eating houses' serve alcohol while Tangra is famous for cheap boozes with good Chinese starters.
