Goenchin

Goechin, located in the heart of the City of Panaji, very near to the Mahalaxmi temple is the most favourite and go to place of Panjekars for Chinese. The kimchi which is served on arrival is my favorite part of the meal. My all time favorites here are the crab meat soup, malaysian chicken, chicken in spinach, chicken spring rolls and chicken fried rice. The place has less availability of parking. The dim lights of this restraunt has been a trademark of the place since decade. I would recommend you to try this place as they have maintained their quality over generations.

Weve been going here for decades now. Always reliable food and great service. My favourites are their American chopsuey, the clay pot fried rice, sticky pork ribs and of course their Darsaan. The fried wantons and the soups are a hit with the kids. This is where you go if you are feeling nostalgic for the great food from the good old days!

First I apologise for the bad photos. We got a really tiny table and the waiter was serving food as it arrived, so couldn’t take the proper pictures of dishes. However, we ordered dragon chicken and stir fried calamari with basil leaves for appetisers. The dragon chicken was juicy and the fried cashews was the star. The calamari was chewy but the preparation was classy. The small chillies in the calamari are to be looked out for. For mains we ordered chicken fried rice and chilli Beijing chicken gravy. The quantity was a lot and I can guarantee that you’ll not leave the place hungry. The prices are worth for the quantity that is being served.

Went here for dinner on 24/02/2023. Had the crab meat soup which was the best (the crab flavour was really coming through). For starters we had Balachung prawns (prawns in on oriental style gravy which includes dried prawns as well) was salty but quite tasty. The Chicken pepper salt was also good, (coated fried pan tossed chicken in a peppery onion sauce). The Squid in Basil sauce was the pick of the staters (the squids were cut quite uniquely which helped it to imbibe the delicious sauce, even the veggies in the dish tasted awesome) For the main course we had the Crab meat fried rice which was delicious but spicy (and a bit dry, you will need some gravy dish to go along with) And we had the Seafood special hot noodles which were awesome, infused with the flavour of prawns and fish, also had veggies, cherry tomatoes, and oyster mushrooms (which gave a delicious crunchy texture to the meal). The menu mentions which dishes are spicy, but can be made less spicy as per choice. A bowl of Kimchee is given complimentary. The staff are courteous and quick, service timely. Goenchin, in my opinion, is the best place for Oriental/Chinese cuisine in Panjim. It has stood the test of time and the competition which new restaurants may offer (but usually do not). As evident by the rush which is always there at dinner time. Preferable to call and reserve a table first. Bon Appétit!!

Visited after a long time. Very well maintained restaurant. Food quantity and quality too good 👌 Chicken Springroll stuffing was Superb. Chicken Wonton's very Tasty & Crispy. Mix Rice Noodles made to perfection. Brownie with ice cream was Yummy. Fried sweetened flat Noodles with ice cream was out of this world.
