I loved their Basil Fried Clams & Tung Po Port Belly! They also offer great selections of food so that you can have different members in your party to choose what they want!! Staff were very kind during my visit with my family.

I wanted so badly to love the food here. My sister and mom used to frequent Chang’s years ago and raved about them, so I excitedly ordered four dishes for takeout: tong po rou, seaweed fish fries, Hunan tofu (my sister’s “favorite version of Hunan tofu she’s ever tasted”, and doban li yu.
Welp, besides the seaweed fish fries which were right on point (and stayed crispy for two hours), everything was underwhelming. It feels like they’re following in Taiwan’s footsteps in terms of using less salt and adding more sugar.
A little tangent before I get into the dishes: whyyyy, oh why do the Taiwanese revere desserts that are “not too sweet”, yet throw massive amounts of sugar into their savory dishes?? I noticed this trend in South Korea too. Boggles the mind.
Back to our regularly-scheduled programming: The li yu (fish) had almost no doban taste. I searched and searched and came up empty. I mean, the sauce certainly LOOKED like it would have doban sauce in it, but all I could taste was sugar and the texture of corn starch. So what I did was scrape off and dump out as much of the sauce as I could to rid the dish of sweetness, and added doban sauce at home. Like 3 heaping spoonfuls.
The tong po rou was not only not savory enough, it also just lacked any depth of flavor. Because I don’t pretend to be a food critic (I just want yummy food), every time I read some layman’s review in which they mention “depth of flavor”, I cringe. Yet in this case, I’m willingly becoming my own worst enemy as I have to use the phrase bc I know no other way to encapsulate the flavor profile (or the lack thereof of any). For $28.99, I wasn’t a happy camper. So of course I put THAT on the stove too. Added dark soy sauce and one star anise bc I wasn’t about to throw $28.99 down the tube. Mind you, I’m *really* not a good cook, hence I order out a lot. So for me to “improve” upon a dish is almost a laughable idea.
Hunan tofu: again lacked flavor and salt. Like how is that even possible when it’s got fermented black beans in it?? Again, boggles the mind. Having had no fermented black beans on hand, I just Lao Gan Ma fried crispy chili oil, and voilá — it became a…3 out of 5.
All this to say, I’ve not once had to re-season 75% of the dishes I got from a restaurant until this experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning. P.S. I spent around $112 for four dishes. Yeah….
Service was kind and efficient both in my ordering and cashing out experiences.

Great value restaurant with a huge menu and big portions. The food is delicious and comes out quickly but still hot and fresh. The portion sizes are really good for a fair price. Definitely great for family style with something for everyone. They have a large private dining room too, and the staff are nonchalant and friendly.

Really great food if you are looking for non spicy dishes, there Hangzhou-Shanghai style dishes are really great. We really like the Spare Ribs Shanghai style, House Special Vegetarian Goose, and those we didn’t order also look delicious. And waitress are very nice too. Parking is easy.

Excellent, authentic Chinese food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed their luncheon specials and were surprised by both the large amount of tasty food and the excellent quality of the shrimp, pork and vegetables. Wait staff was very accommodating as well.

This northern style chinese restaurant was great. I would consider returning.
Food: we ordered a lot as it is a traditional family style chinese restaurant. What i wanted to order was the Kung pao chicken and the mapo tofu. They were surprisingly good and I would return just for the mapo tofu. It was well seasoned and didn't have an overwhelming amount of szechuan peppers (numbing peppers).
Service: it was exceptional. And I would recommend as it was the best I have had at any chinese eatery. They were attentive and polite. Would return for the service alone.
Atmosphere: clean and modern chinese style. Nothing to complain about.
Overall, would recommend if you were looking for a good dining experience.
