Root Zero 3 — Restaurant in Carthage

When the food is old, it shows. The Asian side had a few choices. The fried choices had to be from the day before as the outside was lukewarm and the inside was colder than the room temperature. The breading was soggy, like it had been steamed. This was a half hour after they opened. The food was sparse for just opening for the day. The broccoli was old....old as the florets were blooming into yellow flowers. The broccoli was also an olive drab, not bright green like fresh broccoli is. My daughter got fresh fruit, not that fresh. The strawberries were soft and bruised and the watermelon was not ripe. My daughter described it as leathery. The old Root Zero 3 had baked ham and pot roast on the buffet for lunch. 90% of the protein is now fried, except for the sausage and meatloaf.

This was the first time in my 70 years on this earth that I felt nausea from the fried food because of the grease and no non fried selections.

The old Root Zero 3 was decent. The reopened one, well, I won't be back as there are plenty of other places for a $13.00 meal that are not mostly fried and everything that is supposed to be hot is served at room temperature. Drinks were not refilled and used dished remained on the table even though they...

One a positive note...the women's restroom was clean, the waitress was friendly, and the establishment appeared clean. The salad tasted fresh.

Now, the rest of the story...the fried foods seemed to be saturated with over used grease. The rice was super sticky and cold. The rolls were sitting out way too long as well as most of the other food. It just wasn't fresh. The desert bar had apple crisp that looked like it was left over from lunch (we were there around 7pm).

I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a good meal, but $32 for a less than mediocre meal is unacceptable. They may have a good, fresh selection at lunch. Dinner was terrible. My stomach started rumbling before we left the place. Look closely at the photo of the apple...

My family and I went tonight I have never been to this place before. My first experience was good the staff was very friendly and curious. The place was very clean very open and welcoming.

Now for the food the food was amazing the meatloaf was delicious along side my favorite thing I had was the ribs I felt like it was the most amazing thing I had tonight The salad was good and fresh

The Chinese rice and chicken

My son enjoyed the fish I’m not a big fish eater so I’m taking his word for it lol and he also got chicken strips and the noodles from the Chinese side he said it was really good that he wants to come back again

I’m saying you should give this place a chance good food and for a reasonable price I will definitely...
