Chang Hai Restaurant

One of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ordered from! The steamed white rice was perfectly cooked—chewy and fluffy. The General Tso’s chicken was delicious, and since they didn’t have Orange Chicken, they went the extra mile to make us a special side. The scallion pancake had a wonderfully crisp texture, reminiscent of a Haitian pâté Kode without the filling. The vegetable lo mein was fantastic—even as someone who doesn’t like mushrooms, I found myself enjoying them. The egg rolls, however, were a bit dry and the filling wasn’t my favorite. One downside is that they don’t accept American Express, only Visa and MasterCard, so keep that in mind. Overall, a solid spot, and I’d definitely eat there again! Atmosphere is dry, old style could use a refresher.

Absolutely awful food. We dumped almost $75 worth of food into the compost. Food was greasy, flavorless, and gummy. I called to inform them and they could have not been less interested in hearing about our feedback. Said they did not have a new chef or anything so I’m not sure how this place has gotten good reviews historically. Avoid this place. Wish I could give zero stars because they have earned it for every category.

Everything was hot and fresh! The fried rice was delicious and the chicken was tender and moist

Just ate at Changhai and it seriously impressed me. The place has a chill, clean vibe with some nice traditional touches. Service was on point — friendly, fast, and helpful with recommendations. We had the soup dumplings (amazing — thin skin, flavorful broth), Mapo Tofu (authentic Sichuan heat and numbing spice), and the hand-pulled noodles (fresh, chewy, and full of flavor). Even their General Tso’s Chicken was a standout — crispy, not overly sweet, and actually had depth. Portions were solid, prices totally fair, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you’re tired of greasy takeout and want real, flavorful Chinese food — Changhai is the move. Definitely going back.

I used to go here 5 days a week 20 years ago when I worked nearby. Today I happened to be in the area so I stopped in to get my old usual for lunch spicy green beans and an egg roll. Used to pay about $6 for the lunch but now was charged $20.54. Wow! Inflation! When I walked up to the counter I said I used to come here 20 years ago and I didn't need to look at the menu. I'll have the spicy green beans and an egg roll. The order taker asked me something I think about sizes and I just for me, one. While I was waiting I looked at the menu taped to the front window. It showed the lunch as $12.75 or $12.95. When the order was ready I asked about the price difference I was told I had to say the work "combo" or something like that. I mean it was 12:33 PM. Lunchtime. I mean, I am older but I don't
