I’ve been coming to Changsho since it opened in 1993 — the food was good from the start and I’ve been a customer ever since. There was a period a few years back when the food wasn’t quite up to standard, but now the cuisine is top notch (in a time where finding really good Chinese cuisine is difficult, even in major cities). The crispy egg rolls are excellent — completely in a different league from the egg rolls one usually gets elsewhere. Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp and Mu Shu Pork are also wonderful. The Mu Shu Pork has a wonderful smoky flavor that makes this dish stand out from what people might be used to.

I ordered san bei tofu and yang chou fried rice for takeout, but wish I would have dined in as it’s a very nice room, cozy and tastefully appointed. The tofu dish was great, the rice dish average.

Bad attitude from the waitress. I was greeted at the door with “we will be closing in 30 minutes”. I’ll tell you I’m a chef at an italian restaurant, and I will never in my life greet a customer with “we will close in 30 minutes” remark. Main dishes don’t even come with white rice. A solid “will not return” restaurant. The chicken lo-mein doesn’t even have chicken. It’s a scam of a restaurant. Plus, the restroom smell is gross. The owner told me he has been doing it for 35 years with a rude and unapologetic attitude. Seems that in those 35 years, has not learned how to treat a customer.

While I’ve never had the pleasure of dining in, I have had take out from Changsho several times. I’m from New York and grew up on excellent Chinese take out, I’ve eaten in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I worked in the Chinatown area in Boston for years – and this place is in my my top 5 Chinese I’ve had.

The restaurant is gorgeous, the food is not worth the amount you pay (20 ish dollars on avg). The waitress was terribly rude (maybe she had a bad day).

A good variety of Chinese dishes, beautifully decorated seating space, quick service. Different stir fried vegetables taste rather similar with sesame oil.

Very overpriced. I ordered steamed chicken and broccoli online and put “just with broccoli” in the comments, and they gave me broccoli with no chicken, but charged me for chicken. really frustrating.

Average food – above average price – being served at an awkwardly fancy atmosphere
