Memories Of China London Reviews


Be careful what you order. - Be careful what you order. I had crispy "seaweed" with almonds,
very few almonds. The shredded greens were a bit too dry and v sweet.
My partner had an excellent fish soup and I think the soups are
probably all good. He also enjoyed his "sizzling chicken" dish and
a very good, ample dish of noodles. I did not enjoy my order of
duck with pancakes and cucumber, in fact it was not as good as I've
enjoyed in "ordinary" Chinese restaurants. I thought this dish could not go wrong, but the duck had been shredded onto a flat plate and got cold almost immediately.
The pancakes, incredibly, were tough! I was not pleased to note that
the cucumber strips were dry - obviously left over from lunch. However,
I was entertaining a guest I did not know very well I did not want
to create a fuss. I managed to chew, chew, chew my way through one stuffed pancake. When I asked the waitress to put
the remaining duck shreds in a doggy bag for my cat (can't really say
catty bag) her expression indicated this was not a request they are used to in this upmarket place.
My message is - the dishes are not all of a consistently good standard.
The wine list is mindbogglingly expensive. Service and ambience were
excellent, and the room very comfortable and visually attractive.
However, I think we'd have done better in a busy Chinatown restaurant or in Queensway, paid less, and been reassured by the presence of Chinese diners - there were none in Memories of China.
