Zhong's Restaurant

I've never been more sad about a Chinese food experience. Our order wasn't complete (missing Crab Rangoon which is my favorite) but I was willing to look past it if the food was actually good. Everything looked and tasted as if it had been sitting for HOURS. It was so bad my husband and I had to throw half away because we were genuinely nervous about getting sick from the food. The boneless spare ribs were dry and gray - not one could be eaten. Overall horrible. Not flavor, everything was dry and it all tasted old/gross. Save your money, we wish we did.

Quite a gem of a Chinese restaurant, especially considering the location in suburban Merrimack. They have all of the regular crowd pleasers along with some pretty authentic Sichuan and Cantonese dishes. I have tried the "Beef Tripe with Green Peppers, Onions & Black Bean Sauce" and "Szechuan Bean Curd" (what is known at many places as "Ma Po Doufu"). Both were very good, although the Ma Po came very mild. I have to think they are catering to the American palate, but it's all good because they provide every table with a large vat of amazing chili oil that can be added to any dish to give it a good kick!
