    Interesting Decor!!! First time here and very excited.

    Family oriented, great food and fantastic service. The quality and service made it a great experience and will return. Recommended by a friend.

    Wine chicken
    Maria L.

    I haven't been to this restaurant in awhile. I used to come here more often. The last time I was here, the food did not taste as good as before. I decided to come here again to see if the food tastes better or worst from my last visit. I ordered the following: (1) Shoyu Meat Balls (2) Wine chicken (3) Garlic fish sauce egg plants All three dishes tasted average. Not bad but not particularly good. The wine chicken could use more wine taste. Prices were good. Service was average.

    I love coming here for some comfort Chinese food. The food is consistently good and the staff is always friendly. It's a solid go-to for me when I'm craving some Chinese food! I really like their meatballs. Great flavor, comes with some napa cabbage, and pairs really well with some rice. The bean curd stir fry is also one of my favorites (although fyi it's slightly on the oily side). Portion sizes are generous too. I always leave happily stuffed. The staff is super nice and the wait is usually not too long. Def recommend checking this place out!

    Chrysanthemum tea and soaked peanuts! Yummy! Loves the kettle.

    I had a really nice time here and the food was pretty tasty. The service was good and the servers were nice. I liked that they offered a couple tea options to pick from. I chose chrysanthemum. Although, a tea kettle is not complimentary, it's $5. I really liked their tea pot. I think it was made of iron. It was heavy and really well made. I tried the hot and sour soup. It was delicious with lots of mushroom, bamboo and pork. I tried the sweet lotus and that was pretty good, not too sweet. I always love the chewy texture or lotus. Then I tried the shoyu meatballs. They were huge! And sooo soft! I'd never had a meatball that broke apart like biting into a snowball. I added white pepper abs soy sauce to the soup and meatballs and I enjaules everything. I would return to try other things!

    I think to judge a place based on two dishes isn't fair. But I'm usually one to finish all my food whether I like it or not. And today I didn't finish.... I just couldn't complete. Just came back from my trip to Norfolk Virginia, and I decided rather than going to my usual spot Corner Beef Noodle Soup down in El Monte and Ramona, I decided to check out Changs Garden. 唉... Hear me out the menu looks exciting, I'm sure if I we're to order some Hangzhou style stir fry cuisine, I may be very well impressed, but I decided to go with simplicity. Their beef noodle soup had fairly good feedback, so I went for an order. And of course, might as well order some Xiao Long Bao while I'm at it. Ok. In my honest opinion. I'm not a fan of the noodle soup. I feel, this is what was served by Mr. Dragon 30 years ago in the Hong Kong Supermarket on Colima Rd and Fullerton Ave, and even back then I was never really impressed by Mr Dragon other than from what I remembered...the food was working class and fed single household parents and their children. You get what you pay for. And I think a restaurant in a neighborhood like Arcadia, if you are gonna advertise top notch beef noodle soup, it should live up to a certain level of expectations. The Xiao Long Baos tasted maybe a level better than 99ranch Frozen Xiao Long Bao. So both dishes would not be something I'd come back and order again. I've seen Chang's Garden in this plaza over the decade and just never decided to give it a go. Usually back then, we'd come out here to go to Sin Ba La. But like I said, judging this restaurant based on two dishes isn't fair. And so I'm going to order two more items to go: Beef Rolls, and Sweet Soy sauce chicken stir fry, Chang's Stir Fry, Leeks and Smoked Pork Belly. And maybe give a second opinion the next time I visit.

    This is one of the quiet old restaurant in town. It has been there quite some time. As asian restaurant, service always swift, we ordered tea and quite amazed with iron tea pot served. sweet and sour pork was while fried fish was stealing the show!I can eat this just with white rice and without anything else. The place design for large number of diner since they have the round table with lazy susan. Will definitely come back for the fish and other dishes to try!

    Kung Pao Shrimp, Beef & Chicken
    Emily J.

    Overall - 9/10 - This has been a restaurant that I have gone to since I was young. They use to be in San Gabriel location before moving here to Arcadia. This is a local restaurant near my parent's place and my hometown. Their food has always been good and they have a great selection of pretty authentic Chinese food for any taste. The restaurant has decent parking because in a plaza with decent parking. It sometimes can get crowded during lunch hours. Food - We ordered a variety of dishes. I love the Pineapple Shrimp. It is similar to the popular Walnut Shrimp dish except that they use pineapple instead of walnuts making it less heavy. I enjoy the thinly bettered shrimp and the light flavor. They don't overly use the mayo. Also, I like kung pao 3 way with the shrimp, chicken, and beef. I love the flavor of the dish and the variety of protein used. The last dish ordered is the spicy black bean fish fillet. It was a nice balance of salty and spicy. It is overall a good dish for those who like fish. Overall all the dishes that we have ordered from here were all pretty good. Overall Experience - This is a Chinese restaurant that I would return to again. It has a wide selection of food and now they have lunch specials and dinner specials 7 days a week.

    Good taste that hits the spot! Food was good overall, service quick. Nice variety of dishes

    Tingling Spicy Fish
    Izzie L.

    Oh my gosh... this meal was life-changing. The dishes here are all seasoned so well and have a truly authentic Chinese feel to them. Their lunch special prices are ungodly reasonable and totally worth it. In the multiple times we've been here, I've been able to try: + Tingling Spicy Fish (6/5 - would highly recommend) + On Choy (6/5 - would highly recommend) + Twice Cooked Pork (5/5) + Snow Cabbage fried Peas & Tofu Sheet (6/5 - would highly recommend) I think the majority of my dishes here being a 6/5 speaks for itself. Even the service here is above-and-beyond fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to impress someone! I will be back here many, many times. :)

    Shawn S.

    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.

    Seaweed Fish Fries
    Gerina O.

    Lots of parking in this plaza though it can get quite busy on weekends. The restaurant has lots of seating and a private room in the back to accommodate a larger party. Pricing is really reasonable with big portions. I got the seaweed fish fries and the Shanghai baby ribs and both were delicious. Service can be a little hard to flag down even when they aren't that busy.

    Sammi S.

    A classic restaurant in the SGV with authentic Chinese dishes. We really enjoyed their spicy pot which has a mix of small intestine and pork blood (it sounds more gruesome than it); the spice really covers any gamey taste. They also make a great meatball, though their ribs are not as consistent these days. They make a mean sticky rice dessert that has lotus seed and red bean in it which is delicious.

    Sandy C.

    Decent Chinese food and it feels like it's family owned. My favorite is the fried fish fillet, and it was so delicious every time. I enjoyed taking my parents there. I have had multiple great experiences dining here with my parents but we visited this past Chinese New Year and felt the food was not very good. The rice tasted weird, like it was not fresh. The DongPo pork belly was not seasoned correctly. It was not an usual quality of food we have had in the past. However, I would still go back and hoping they improve their quality after being not as busy. The service is great and fast. The server is quite attentive. The restaurant seems to have experienced some time but overall clean/well-kept.

However, the sauce came in a plastic sauce container and was on the bland side. I preferred dipping it with hot mustard and soy sauce... PORK & SHRIMP SIUMAI: 7/10 I only tried half a piece and stopped. I'm not sure why but, it tasted like it was too dry and it was small as well.
