I am shocked by the low rating for Changs Garden because it is such a hidden gem in Storrs. Their authentic Chinese menu is fantastic with a wide selection of Sechuan dishes. My favorite dish was the cold sweet potato noodle appetizer, it was too good to even get a picture! Their hot tea is also fantastic and all the food is reasonably priced. The service is fast and the staff is really helpful with picking out dishes based on your spice tolerance and what you're used to.

Just a quick update: We revisited Chang's while dropping off our daughter for her spring semester and had a great meal. Very tasty and well-prepared. This time we had their Peking duck and it was nice - crispy skin, juicy meat, with plenty of thin pancakes to roll them up in Very enjoyable and so glad to see it was the real thing, not just substituting roast duck as some places do - it is completely different. We also had their salt & pepper squid which was outstanding! Storrs is definitely lucky to have this place! Next time: we plan to try the crispy fish.

We have become tired of the poor service and attitude of our current place, so we decided to try this restaurant. We ordered several of our favorite items as take out. When I picked up the order, I was surprised how small the bag was. The food was very good and if it wasn't for the disappointingly small portions, we would have become regulars. I guess we can blame it on shrinkflation, but we won't be back.

Firstly, this restaurant has the most authentic Sichuan food in the Storrs/Willimantic area. If you don't believe me, look at the sheer number of Chinese international students who come to this restaurant on the daily. They have a "Chinese American" menu and a more authentic Sichuan menu. Absolutely everything I have ever tried of the Sichuan menu has been incredible. I can't say the same about the "Chinese American" menu, but their ACTUAL authentic food makes up for it. Besides the incredible food, the service is so quick and the people are incredibly friendly. I believe she may be the owner, but the lady who is at the front counter, seating people and ringing out To-Go orders is so personable and friendly. She always has a smile on her face, and remembers me each time I come in, even though I don't come in that often. She asks me about my life and school, how my classes are going. She really goes above and beyond to make her customers feel comfortable. If you look at the other "Chinese" restaurant on UConn's campus, you will not see nearly as many international students there. I can't think of a clearer indicator of the authenticity and quality of the food.

This is the worst Chinese food I've had in years. First time/last time experience: I ordered the fried rice cakes with vegetables. I remember first learning how to make these and having several kitchen disasters where the texture was off. Turns out my worst attempts were still 100 times better than the inedible mush I received. They weren't chewy, they weren't firm. They somehow managed to be grainy and yet EXTREMELY soggy. They butchered one of my favorite dishes, and I wasted money on it, because I couldn't eat any of it at all. It went Straight to the garbage. I hate wasting food, and I have eaten plenty of things that were pretty bad just to save on food waste. I just couldn't do it this time. I also ordered the garlic scallops. Usually that's spicy when I order it other places. Not here, not even a little bit. In addition to it not being spicy, it had very little flavor. Also, they gave me shrimp, not scallops, so the order was wrong. Lastly, I ordered the sesame chicken. Might as well call it corn syrup chicken. It had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. It tasted like breaded chicken covered in plain corn syrup with a few sesame seeds sprinkled atop. Icing on the cake: it had hair in it. Never ever again.

Small portions, bland taste. Very disappointing.

Service, time, and people were good. Food was not very flavorful. For some people, maybe it's great (or maybe it's healthier?). But this is not anywhere near greatness in terms of either authentic or Americanized chinese food.

Almost 20 dollars for a small portion of the worst chicken I’ve been served :( Had to throw it out

Honestly. Not the best second impression.Over a year ago we didn’t like the food but yesterday we decided to try again.There was a big egg shell left in the shrimp fried rice container. There was plastic floating around In the red sauce cup. The mei fun is unnecessarily way to oily.

Have frequented this Chinese restaurant several times over many years. The past few years, we were going to Lee's Garden in Tolland, which closed in 2021. Tried Chang's for takeout tonight. Prices have increased, but that's no surprise. I ordered three items marked hot and spicy --- not. Something was off in the Amazing Chicken---the mushrooms? The broccoli in garlic sauce had little flavor. Cold noodles in sesame peanut sauce lacked sesame flavor and spice. Lo mien was boring with very few vegetables or pieces of pork. Fried dumplings were ok. My husband ate the egg rolls ($2.50each) and didn't complain. I need to try a fortune cookie....probably won't return for a while until I'm desperate for Chinese food!

If you like the standard Chinese restaurant fare this place is for you. Years ago they used to have a "secret" Chinese menu for native diners or the very adventurous American diner. Sadly, they no longer offer anything like that. The food is good but not extraordinary, the service as spotty and varied as any Chinese restaurant.

Food is amazing but this new portion sized plate means I overpaid tremendously compared to other restaurants. They have lost a valued customer!
