China Maxim

Dec 5 experience. Had to throw away my food. My pork chow mein was not edible. I could eat the rice only because i was hungry Almost threw up after eating my egg roll. The taste was that bad. The sauce didn't help, it might be fermented. The rice was over soy sauced. The maxim lo mein was without sauce and completely different than described. The taste and presentation was awful. I'm not sure why it was that bad. They had 4 cooks working and yet it looked as if I got what was meant for the disposal.

China Maxim is under new management and ownership. The Chinese family that owned and operated China Maxim for decades is gone. When the original Chinese family owned the restaurant, it was my go-to-place for traditional old fashioned Chinese food for decades. Under the new owners, the name of the restaurant is the same, and so is the menu, however, the food I had was terrible. I had the "B" combination plate, which consists of Beef Mushroom Chow Yoke, Boneless Spear Ribs, Chicken Fingers, and Pork Fried Rice, with a small side order of Beef Teriyaki. The Beef Teriyaki was burnt to a crisp, there was no Teriyaki marinate, essentially, I received a small container of burnt pieces of meat on a stick. The combination plate wasn't much better. I received a small portion of tasteless boneless spear ribs in some kind of Red marinade that had little or no flavor. The Chicken fingers were greasy and limp, and the Beef Chow Yoke tasted funky, and if I didn't know better, I'd assume it came out of a can. The food was terrible both in terms of its quality, and the skimpy portions. I ended up throwing out all the food. It just wasn't edible. If you were a fan of the restaurant when it was owned and operated by the original Chinese family, you'll be very disappointed with the complete nose dive that the quality of the food has undergone and the skimpy portions. I can't recommend China Maxim with its new owners. The food was just terrible.

China Maxim has new owners. I had been going here since 1983, it was my go to place. I got to know the owners over all these years and watched their family grow from youngsters to college age. I grew up on the Northshore of Boston and had my go to Chinese Food favorites, and found China Maxim to be very similar. Unfortunately all things must change and they sold their business. The food is now terrible!!!!!! Burnt and very greasy boneless spareribs, chicken fingers with the breading so thick it is like eating a chicken sandwich. I am looking for a new go to restaurant in the Dracut area that has outstanding food.
