    Review Visit: May 14th, 2018 If you thought Jimmy Johns was freaky fast.... A few people I know have suggested Chang's Wok Inn recently; so on a Monday afternoon a friend and I decided to pop in and check it out. We were seated fairly quick by our waitress. They had a lunch special that ended at 2:30p and we were ordering at 2:31p. I asked if we could still get the lunch special and she said no. Despite that, we found something on the menu and no sooner did we place the order, our waitress walked out with our food. It was freaky fast how quickly our food came out! This place might as well have been a fast food Chinese restaurant. Despite how quickly it came out, the food was top notch. Some of the best I've had in a long while. My friend said his food was good as well. Upon leaving, we were discussing Chang's and my friend mentioned that he was dissatisfied with the service. Not that it was bad, but the waitress barely said more than 3 words and treated us as if we were a bit of a nuisance. I didn't pay much attention to that while there but once he mentioned it, I would have to agree. This place would've gotten a 5/5 if the service was a bit more... personable. But I am still rating them high since the food came out super quick and was very delicious. They also offer food to go, if you want to grab some and take it home. Should you eat there and need something to wash the food down with, there is a coffeehouse a few businesses over called The Spot. Freaky fast, freaky delicious, freaky service.

    Don L.

    Delicious Chinese food that's walkable from the nearby apartments and affordable. The cumin lamb and the fried tofu with spiced salt are both exquisite. Their egg drop soup is super flavorful, and tastes freshly made. $4 for a large is a steal. I highly recommend this spot for their amazing food and fast service!

    Sweet and Sour Chicken.

    I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken. Chicken was good, but no fruit or veggies like the picture. Just chicken, sauce and white rice. Water is only bottled water. Hard to understand server and she was a bit rude. When we asked about the meal not looking like the menu she said the meals are not like pictured. To me, that is false advertising. I was going to have Kung Pao chicken, but that is made with dark meat vs white meat and it too is only meat and sauce. It was lunch time on a Saturday. We were the only customers. Now, we know why.

    Happy Family

    Reluctantly, I returned only because the food was good last time. This time, I was prepared to check my receipt for obligatory gratuity and adjust accordingly. To my surprise, dinner time made a difference. The seating area was more clean, there were a lot of to-go orders, and the service was amazing. Our server checked on us several times and was very kind. We tried the Happy Family and Hunan Beef. I enjoyed the spicy Hunan Beef which had a nice balance of beef and vegetables. However, it was a little too salty for my guest. The Happy Family also had a nice large portion of various proteins and vegetables. Unfortunately, the sauce was rather bland and taste was average. To my surprise, no automatic gratuity this time so I tipped very well and happily. Restrooms could use improvement but were not the worst. Would return again.

    Chicken teriyaki

    They're extremely friendly and prompt. The food could use more authenticity. I was disappointed by the chicken teriyaki but the Lo Mein is good. Picture of chicken teriyaki.

    Shrimp fried rice
    Saadia Q.

    I did extensive research on Yelp to find the perfect Chinese restaurant for my trip to Peoria. Unfortunately, I don't think I picked the right one. One of my main reasons for selecting Chang's over Golden Kitchen and Chinatown was ease of ordering online through the Yelp app. Another reason was proximity to where I would be staying, the Holiday Inn at Prairie Grove. Price also factored into my decision. I ordered crab rangoons, shrimp fried rice, and vegetable lomein for $21. Here is a breakdown: Crab rangoons: Priced well at $4.99 for 6. I found them a little sweet, but creamy. Not bad, just not the best I've ever had. Shrimp fried rice: Good in flavor, but something felt off. I don't know if the oil they used was old or the veggies weren't fresh. I can't quite put my finger on it. But this was better than the lomein. Vegetable lomein: Very disappointing. The noodles used were fettuccine type instead of thin spaghetti noodles. I asked for it to be spicy, but it was definitely lacking in spice and flavor. They also failed to include utensils, as I clearly requested online, so I had to eat it with my hands, which made it even worse.

    The sweet and sour chicken was not good. The chicken was over cooked and they did not give the peppers or pine apple just rice?

    The worst Chinese I've had in Peoria. Spring rolls were soaked in grease, shrimp was gross and mushy.

    Review Visit: November 12th, 2016…read more I wonder if they have a Peoria Buffet in Hong Kong... ha. Ok, lame jokes aside, I may have found a new love at this buffet. Jalapeno Pepper Chicken. Soooo good. I generally get General Tsao's (or Tso's) because it is supposed to have a nice spicy kick to it, but this takes the cake. General is hit and miss at places on spicyness, but I think Jalapeno Pepper Chicken would have a consistent spicy kick due to the... well, peppers. A few of the items on the buffet were meh. The sweet and sour chicken was a bit dough-y. Sugar biscuits had clumps of sugar instead of it being evenly distributed. General Tsao's was not spicy, but was still good. We came here for my friends birthday and I am pretty sure I have been here before to eat. I know my friend comes here at least once a week to get food to go. Yup, they sell food to go. Probably charge by the weight of the container? I don't know. I typically don't add buffets to my travel list. Why exactly? I don't have a specific reason, really. But I've added this and Grand Village Buffet now, so there are exceptions to my rules. This one is a bit pricey. The price for a dinner on a Saturday night was $15 and change. All in all, a pretty good buffet. The service was prompt. Selection was decent and plentiful despite them closing 90 minutes after we got there. Online reviews are hit and miss, but that seems standard for any Chinese buffet/restaurant.

    the food was not that great there was like 3 things available when I went that were edible. most…read moreserving trays were empty or burnt for atleast half an hour. Several Food options were put up an hour before closing. Server never refilled my mans drink. Chicken was hard.... and to top it off it cost 80$ for a family of 5... you will pay 25% less than that at world buffet in Galesburg and it is significantly better.
