Reviews for Merry Go Round in Lone Pine, CA
A-MA-ZING food and experience! Family-owned, and all of the wait staff are knowledgeable about each dish (including heat level)... and REMARKABLY FRIENDLY. Dog friendly? More than any other place we?ve ever been ? and we take our boy Jack EVERYWHERE. Food wasauthentic and delicious and generously portioned, and your dog is welcome INSIDE. Don?t forget to give love to Blue, thesweetest blue-nose bully there ever was. I wish I could give this place 10 stars!! Read more
Amazing Chinese food . Chicken chowmein and jalapeño shrimp was one of the best i have ever had .
Where the Alabama Hills meet the desert there is a wonderful Chinese American restaurant. After hiking and paying respects at... Manzanar we ate delicious Sichuan food in a round and friendly place. We ordered Mapo tofu, orange peel chicken, and jalapenochicken. Fresh and expertly prepared. The menu is Chinese American with Sichuan specialties. Highly recommend this place! Read more
I came to try out this place for the first time due to other google reviewers. 1) Authentic Chinese food??? Nope. This is... American Chinese with expired sauces on their tables. 2) Covid cautious? Nope. All unmasked and presumably even through themandate when ppl stared at me and my mask on. 3) cleanliness? Subpar. Tablecloths seems ok, but not replaced every service.Also, a dog is in the room, so if you are allergic to animal?s shedding, you wanna do a take out. 4) Space? Def tight. Even acorner given up for the sweet dog inside. A very sweet pit bull, and I must say very gentle too. 5) Portion? Def generous.Prices were not cheap either. It?s $17-20/dish. 6) Is jt delish? It was def NOT raving amazing like all the reviews. The beefand broccoli was the only dish they did ok. Fried Wontons were made with the tiniest & skimpiest amount of stuffing, like 1/4teaspoon full? And lomein were very salty and not flavorful. It?s like they just dumped noodles into a ton of salty sauce andthe least amount of shredded carrots/onions/green onions & done. All 3 stars given for the amazing service and friendliness ofstaff. They were really really nice, esp the tall brunette who served us. Until old guy said u get charged extra 3.9% if u usecredit card. There should be a signage outside for that if u prefer cash. Thankfully we had enough cash. Read more
Great food. Great service. We had dinner on our way from Death Valley national park, on December 2021. Nearly authentic Chinese... food. We were not disappointed. Read more
This is the BEST authentic Chinese cuisine in the Western hemisphere. Period. We had the Family Meal which began with Egg Drop... Soup, Crispy Fried Wonton with cream cheese (my favorite), Potstickers, Shrimp on a Skewer and Egg Rolls. For our entrees we hadImperial Shrimp, Beef with Broccoli and Orange Peel Chicken. We also had a combination of fried rice (my second favorite) andsteamed rice. The entrees were full of fresh vegetables and we had enough to take home for dinner tonight. The service wasAWESOME. Thank you Veronica for making our dining experience EXTRAORDINARY!???? Read more
Small. Easy to miss. Small round shaped building with good sized patio option. Got Shrimp and Snow Peas, 1/2 Roasted Duck, and 3... Flavor Fried Rice. Shrimp and Snow Peas cooked perfectly. Duck slightly overdone but still tasty. Fried rice is different. Ienjoyed but different flavor than most. They have a great selection of beer and sake too. They have vegetarian options as wellas "American" options like grilled chicken for those who need such but I would just encourage you to get the roastedduck! Family friendly. Restaurant "security" pup that is so well behaved. Service is good but under staffed meaning they run,are quick, but if you are wanting someone to swing by every 5 mins not going to happen. For a restaurant in Lone Pine, CA is ahuge win. Read more
This restaurant has an easy California mountain town feel. We were able to eat outside on the front patio. We had the veggie egg... rolls and jalapeno pork and it came with rice. The food was delicious, and the hot mustard was out of this world. The servicewas fast. We would return. Read more
