Always great food. Nice size portions. Probably the best in the Buffalo area. Chrispy sesame chicken is always the best.
It's been way too long since we last visited Chang's Garden. Tonight we stopped in after a youth Learn to Skate clinic to reward our little boys for graduating from the trainers! The dining room is so beautifully decorated and the staff is laser focused on excellent customer service. What a relief in an era when many restaurants are cutting staff and installing kiosks. Our waiter greeted us quickly and poured water all around, and gave us a minute to study the beautifully bound menus. He placed a bowl of crispy wonton noodles with duck sauce on our table. I had to caution my boys not to make a meal out of the noodles, because they don't have a reputation for finishing their food. They would have loved a second bowl, but I put the brakes on that. I ordered the General Tso which was sizzling hot and moderately spicy. Super delicious in its signature sauce. The dish was garnished with a sprig of broccoli. So satisfying. My husband ordered the shrimp and vegetables with an egg roll. He was amazed at the dozen medium sized shrimp over a nice mound of broccoli. He was very pleased with his dinner. The real test was the two young boys. We'd planned to split a chicken finger appetizer between them but our waiter strongly encouraged us to order sweet n sour chicken with white rice. What a great suggestion! The kids devoured most of the mountain of chicken and a good portion of the white rice! Now, these boys are famously picky eaters, and often dig their heels in, refusing to finish their dinner for me. Today, I saw a different behavior from them. They ate with vigor and much excitement, discussing their LOVE for the food. We were pleased that we fed a family of four for only $51! And we took home three containers of leftovers! We'll be back for certain!
I recently sat down to eat my Chinese food with a larger group. It was an experience I wasn't expecting! We were served green tea and these little fried wonton dippers and they were delish! My 3 year old went nuts over them! We ordered our food and everything was accurate and so tasty. I was surprised, the food was considerably better than when I bring it home for take out. My General Tso chicken had this amazing crisp to it that must get lost as it sits in the container on my regular ride home. I also really loved that this was a family-friendly environment. The server who took care of us was kind and understanding. I noticed she also had her small child in the restaurant being watched by a grandparent. I thought it was nice to see that type of family support. I recommend this restaurant to everyone!
The food was so good. When you sit down, they give you fried wonton chips with a sweet and sour sauce dip. Unusual, but seriously addictive. We ordered a dinner for two - soup, eggroll or spring roll, and two entrees. We also got hot tea and dumplings. The dumplings were doughy and seemed to be home made. The eggrolls were super crispy and flavorful. We ordered veggie lo mein and sesame chicken as our entrees. The sesame chicken was like no other sesame chicken I've had. It was crispy super thin pieces with an orange ish sauce, rather than the brown gooey sauce you get other places. The only reason this gets four stars instead of five was the ambiance. The front of house was absolutely swamped with take out orders, so our server was preoccupied with that. Because of that, we never got drinks (besides the hot tea.) There also wasn't any music or anything, so besides the hustle and bustle of the to go orders, it was very quiet. Overall - this is one of my favorite eat in Asian restaurants, and I will keep coming back.
Food is pretty good, this and Asian star Chinese restaurant is our go to. Chang's is a little more pricey but never can complain about the delicious crab Rangoon and general zhos chicken. Overall a great little place, friendly staff.
