Lunch at Zhong Shan reviewed
Here's John Lindner's Monday lunch review of Zhong Shan.
I recently went to Zhong Shan for New Year's dinner. It was a wonderful meal, but hardly anything served that night shows up on Zhong Shan's regular menu.
That's too bad. On a typical day, it can be very difficult to coax out the best food from Zhong Shan's kitchen, which seems reluctant to give customers anything remotely authentic.
Let's see how John fared.

I maintain that Zhong Shan gets a bad rap. I have had some good but not great dim sum there, and some solid Cantonese Noodle Soups that reminded me of the old Golden Gate Noodle House in Towson. And I did also like that Szechuan dish that John mentions, it had both ma and l, although not in huge quantities. Is it a Grace Garden or a Joe's Noodle House? No, but it is certainly better than anything else in the city that carries the label "Chinese."

Of course that was supposed to read "ma and la" and I should qualify that Zhong Shan CAN be better than others...
