Had a delicious Cashew Chicken lunch with fried rice and an egg roll as well as the traditional egg drop soup and tea. The veggies are fresh and not too crunchy - just right. Plus, the price is right. I didn't have any for lunch, but they do carry a nice selection of beers and wines, too.
Review Source:Memories of China is by no means the best Chinese I have ever had but, for Goshen it's pretty decent. The quality of the food has been deteriorating for a while now but, if you know what to order you can have an enjoyable meal. The Thai selections are disappointing and many of the Chinese selections that are fried should be left alone. The pot stickers are still homemade and the egg foo yung is still very delicious. The lo mein has suffered in quality due the fact they no longer use homemade noodles. Not a bad place for Chinese in the area.
Review Source:I find the name Memories of China apropos, because it seems to be what the faint memory of actual Chinese food tastes like.
Although I actually do have fond memories of eating here with my Grandma as a teenager.
If you keep in mind that you are in Goshen, Indiana, in a strip mall, you will have the appropriate expectations. It is by no means the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It's very, very average.
I came here with 13 assorted relatives who were gathered for both Father's Day and my grandpa being in the hospital and not doing very well. One thing my family has always done well is eat. Food equals love.
Everyone except grandma got the buffet, which also came with our choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. I'd never had their hot and sour soup, so I thought I'd try it. It was neither hot nor sour, and contained lots of bits of mushrooms and stringy egg-like things. We also got a few pots of tea that turned out to be lukewarm.
But the buffet was all right. The veggie lo mein was pretty good, and I enjoyed the sauteed green beans. The rest of the food was average, it was crowded, the staff was trying to keep up but not doing a great job.
Remember: strip mall. Goshen. There IS good ethnic food to be found in Goshen, but Chinese is not going to be it.
Memories of China boasts one of the 100 healthiest Chinese menus in America, but that doesn't make the food taste any better.
Don't get me wrong: It's not BAD food. I just wasn't blown away.
The sesame chicken tastes like KFC drizzled in generic Asian sauce. The house special lo mein was terrifically boring. The shrimp pad thai was too wet and pink. If you're in Goshen and must have Chinese, you could do worse. Avoid the Thai dishes altogether.
