We've been at Mama Chang's for at least 4 bday celebrations and more recently our wedding anniversary August 3. Food delectable and service great as always even when they're seemingly understaffed and closing times, still service with a smile and great, excellent fine dining! Thanks to everyone at Mama Chang's!!!
Excellent take on Chinese fare. Every dish tried was superb! This location and the other Peter Chang locations are treasures that do not exist in most other places. Prices tend toward the higher end, but not terrible.
We made our first trip to Mama Chang when we were in town June of last year (2021). The delicious, original food and preparations really knocked our socks off. We couldn’t wait to go back. Fast forward, July 2022. We’re back in town and ready for Mama Chang! The first thing we noticed upon entering for lunch was that a year later, the place is looking a little disheveled. The menus are hastily updated with tape or WhiteOut and hand-written notes. The bathrooms don’t appear to have been cleaned since dinner rush the night before… OK, we’re still game. Our recollection of the food was so good, we were ready to put up with a little eccentricity. It’s worth it. We ordered the dry fried cauliflower and Chang’s Hot and Numbing Beef Jerky. After our first visit, the cauliflower had been a frequent subject of conversation whenever Chinese food was mentioned. Initial impressions aside, we were hopeful the dishes would have the “pop” we remembered. Minutes after our order, the dishes arrived. While the original idea of each was still there, the preparation seemed to lack the care and artistry we experienced last year. Both were overly oily and dumped in serving dishes without concern for presentation. Were we disappointed? Not entirely. Our lunch was enjoyable, and we will return when back in town – if Mama Chang is still there for us. Hopefully, we just hit them during a bad month and the place will be back on point when we’re next in town. We’re pulling for Mama Chang!
Ate there with my wife and two sons. Total bill, food and two beers, was just under $110. For 4 people, that's not that much. Highly recommend the pork dumplings, green beans, and the bamboo fish. Never have had anything less than "good" at Mama Chang.
The restaurant overall was a great environment, the food was amazing and the sever was very polite and willing assist our needs as it was our first time. The food came out quicker than expected compared to many other restaurants and the food was very savory and flavorful. I personally liked the cumin lamb skewers and lychee flavored black peppers chicken. We will definitely come back soon.
Great service. Great ambiance and modern decor and bright oposite to the typical dark Chinese restaurants that are more usually to see. Food presentation is great. We ordered Steamed pork dumplings which were perfect. Scallion bubble pancake which look cool and tasted great. However I will say I like it better with some of the other sweeter sauces that we had from the other dishes. Peking duck again great Mongolian beef and delicious. Highly recommended.
The food here was extremely savory. Each dish was so different, but my favorite by far was the lychee flavored black pepper chicken. It might be a bit spicy for some, but the sweetness in the sauce made that dish disappear long before the others. Highly recommended, and I will be going back to try the many other dishes
First time here, no doubt a terrible dinner experience because the food is completely UNDERCOOKED. They serve us RAW FROZEN FISH. We noticed that after we’ve taken some bites and god knows how much bacteria and parasites we already eaten into our stomachs. Be cautious if you are going to order fish/meat here. Your night probably will be ruined just like ours by eating frozen uncooked food. Giving two stars for the service and environment.
Today, we had lunch there. The first impact of the restaurant was pretty nice. Bright, big and full of people! We ordered two dim-sum: [steam spare rib] and [steam chicken feet]. And, Roast duck (1/2) （廣式燒鴨） Chinese BBQ Pig Feet （烤小蹄） Farmer's Stir Fry (農家一碗香） Stir Fried Veggies (清炒時令蔬菜- snow pea tips-$26!) Every dish tasted good but [Chinese BBQ Pig Feet] was not the taste which we are familiar. The dish was not based on soy sauce but used cumin. We thought its skin should be more softer, less chewy and a bit sweet. Service was fine except the server took a wrong order, but soon he corrected it. It is a nice place for family and friends gathering, definitely will go again and introduce to our friends. At the end, we asked the person who was at the front desk: [is Mama Chang here Really Peter Chang's Mam?] He answered: [I don't know what you mean, Every business has it's owner. But they are related...] I don't know exactly what he means ..
Most of dim sum dishes are good and more consistent (compares to Han Palace). Fried cauliflower is one of the outstanding dish.
