Had not been here in many years. Not good the last time, but tried the other night. The restaurant updated the inside and was very nice. The food was a solid 4 stars and fair pricing. We really enjoyed. Only issue....service started out great. Once we got the food, they disappeared. No more water or tea. I would still recommend since clean ambiance and good food.

I know of this place since it opened...in the late 80s, or maybe early 90s. It is one of my family favorite restaurants to go. The restaurant still had lunch specials, so the price is pretty good. As for the food itself, it is still very good. The grilled whole fish with green onion is totally worth the price, $14.99 from the lunch special menu. And the brown sauce goes very well with white rice. Chinese cabbage with snow peas and tofu sheet is a must for Zhe-Jiang/Shanghainese dish. We always order this, day or night. Shrimp in garlic sauce is pretty good. My first time ordering it (we usually order the pork with garlic sauce). It is not bad but I prefer the pork one, hence the reason for 4 star instead of five star. Leeks with Chinese bacon. If you like leeks, this is a great dish for you. Not only it is flavorful but it goes well with rice as well. While eating at the restaurant, there were lots of to-go orders being called in and picked up. However, not much of in-person dining though....which I think is prevalent in most restaurants now days. Anyway, give it a try. If you like Shanghainese food, this is a must restaurant.

Yummy food. This is one of our favorite restaurants in La. We come here every time we visit the area. The restaurant is crowded around noon but not so much after 1 pm. The food is so good. Their shrimp with green onions was especially delicious. The salt and pepper fish is always our favorite. The lion's meatball is so so soft and juicy. There are so many great dishes offered here. The service is always really fast and great. The restaurant space is clean. What more can you ask for?

A nice little place with different Chinese culture foods, like Shanghainese Style. Ordered four items and some are ok. Lack of servers and servers hardly walk around the table to see if customers need any assistance. Still need to come to this place and try other dishes.

Can never go wrong with the seaweed fish filet fries! This is our favorite spot for this dish. Their clam soup with melon is always a great addition for something simple and refreshing. Friendly service, especially with kids. They gave my daughter a little treat after our dinner.

Takes credit card In the plaza with Supermarket Staff speak Chinese and English Come to eat the Shanghainese food. I come with my family all the time. Tea is $5 for the party. Lunch specials are a good deal either 11.99, 12.99 or 13.99 or 14.99 Complimentary sweet and sour soup- great flavor, vinegar not over powering. Y1 Shrimp scrambled egg ($14.99)- large portions with large shrimp. Cooked well and minimal oil W5 baby bamboo shredded pork ($13.99)- excellent flavor. Cooked well. The bamboo shoots tender, soft. Y8 Shanghai little pork ribs ($14.99)- large portions. Lots of bone though. Not over salty and the sweetness of the sauce comes out. I would pass on this dish though. Seaweed fish fries- half order (17.99)- restaurant famous for this dish. Get it! Super crispy. Nice and texture. Dip in white pepper to help. W4 shredded pork and fried tofu stir fry ($13.99)- super good flavor. Not too salty. Nice combination of flavor

Thinking fondly about their hot soup so decided to make a visit. It is located in a shopping plaza, anchored by a supermarket. Parking was not bad on a weekday. Chang's Garden is worth a visit for authentic Shanghai Cuisine. Ordered: Mama Sung Soup 4/5 - you can order a full or half size Shanghai Rice Cake 4/5 - acquired taste XLB 4/5 - you can order a full or half size Service was friendly and fast. The decor is Asian and the place has brightened up.

We went to Chang's for a relative's birthday for dinner around 7:00 on a weekday. They had business but were not too crowded. It was relatively quiet. Not all our party was there yet, but they seated us anyway and let us wait at the table. They also let us order so that the food would be ready once everyone got there. They held our birthday cake and served it at the end of the meal. Overall, the service was good, and they were nice to us. We got the 6-person set meal. It was a decent value. The dishes were good. None of them was exceptional, but they were better than just ok. They did allow us to make substitutions if we wanted, but they said that the dishes included were their best items, so we just took the set as it was. (If Yelp functions properly, then the full menu and food pics will be attached to this review.) Probably the dish everyone liked the best was what Chang's calls the "Seaweed Fish Fries," i.e., fried fish "sticks" that you dip in a side of salt/spices. The pork belly, green beans, and tofu were the next best and the shrimp was just k. The restaurant is in a typical medium sized strip mall for the area. Consequently, parking is shared with numerous other businesses including a market. The lot can get pretty full, and parking can be challenging. However, on our visit there was parking reasonably close to the restaurant in the lot. Overall, we would come back here. We have been here before. There is one fish dish on the menu that we did not have this time that is pricy but is good-sorry can't remember the name of that one. Four stars for good service and decent food, but not five because the food quality is just not top notch. Great place to take family or friends for a nice meal at a decent price and value in the area.

I came here for the first time for dinner with family and it was delicious! We had about 8 or 9 dishes. I lost count and totally forgot to continue to take pics! My favorite dish was the pork belly bamboo clay pot soup. Everything tasted very good and the portions were very reasonable. Service was very good as well. Parking was no issue. I noticed a lot of people picking up take out. The next time I'm in the area I will absolutely come back for dine in and take out!
