Chang Chang 1200 19th Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20036

"Very decent Chinese restaurant. Was expecting more classical Sichuan cuisine but appreciated the diversity in the menu and family-style service. The staff were friendly (particularly as we were there on Christmas Day for dinner!) and knowledgeable about the menu. We were seated right by the door which wasn't an ideal location as a lot of cold air was blowing in as people walked to be seated. The vibe of the restaurant is fine but the lighting could be improved. Would recommend, but there are better places in the city (like Astoria) to go. The Peking duck also wasn't anything special, I was expecting them to carve tableside."

"Great for groups - with several stand-out dishes and good cocktails to enjoy --- Capped-off a long work week with dinner at Chang Chang with two buddies. By 7 PM the restaurant was packed, but the tables are very well spaced out and the ambiance feels bright and relaxed. The service when we arrived was quick and friendly. We placed orders for drinks, and then throughout the night placed a couple orders for a series of shared dishes. I really enjoyed my mezcal-based cocktail. They used a licorice-based liqueur, which while normally I dislike in cocktails, was perfectly blended and subtle enough that it didn't over power the drink. Overall I enjoyed all the food as well. There were two standouts in particular: the Dan Dan Noodles and the Sesame Tofu. The Noodles were a substantial portion, and in my opinion the perfect ratio of Noodles and Sauce and Meat and Toppings. While it could have been an entree on it's own, was better as a compliment to the rest of the meal. My friend hyped-up the Sesame Tofu, and we ordered it the same time as the Golden Mountain Beef. The beef was ok, but the tofu blew it away. Even for a meat-lover like myself, you can't help but appreciate the flavor of the sauce and how well prepared the tofu-was. We also ordered pork dumplings, the bubble pancake, and the beef. Dumplings were good, especially when dipped in the chili sauce they came with. The pancake was a solid accompaniment as well. The beef was fine, although quite plain and a bit tough relative to the other excellently-prepared dishes. We capped the night off with an evening, specialty tea. The food left us all stuffed and satisfied, and (with drinks) still came to under $50 per person! I'd be excited to come back again, and would recommend this to restaurant to anyone looking for good, fair-priced food."

"I wasn't impressed. I liked the atmosphere, and the service and staff was great, but the food was inconsistent. The pork soup dumplings and the golden mountain beer were very tasty but not particularly exciting or novel. The Sichuan Lazi chicken had little flavor and the lack of any sauce made it feel very dry. The Kung Pao vegetables also had very little flavor - the Kung Pao at the Chinese restaurant I grew up going to was exponentially better. If you're looking for flavor you're better off finding an authentic Sichuan restaurant."

"Visited Chang Chang for dinner before a comedy show. I don’t eat Chinese food much, as I find it very unhealthy. However, I decided to try Chang Chang -and was pleasantly surprised. The spicy chicken nuggets are very good. The spice is a slow creeper that tingles your tongue-not an overly hot burning sensation. The eggplant is absolutely delicious. I also had the duck-ordered the half duck-was pretty small-tasted good-but nothing that stood out above other Chinese restaurants. Sadly, their restaurant is not very clean. Their floors are filthy-from the door to the bathroom-sticky and slippery. Food all over the floors-they should clean after every table leaves-sweep and mop underneath and around the tables. They should place attention to cleanliness."

"Disappointed for the food quality here. Not for Asian’s taste. Dan Dan noodle it’s too salty. String beans have strong pepper spice that stay in the mouth after tasting. Chicken lettuce wrap - chicken it’s not fresh and has strong smell covered with sauce. The only thing here worth the visit it’s the interior design and decoration."
