Mama Chang

“My family has been to Mama Chang once before but this time we went to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year and the food was soo good! The highlight of the meal was the seasonal item Flounder Fillet with Black Bean and Chili, which was an entire fish, and the Three Pepper Beef Tenderloin, which was super tenderloin with a mix of sweet and spicy. Along with that, we ordered the scallion bubble pancake and Pineapple Buns. I would say skip the vegetable chow fun, it was basic but if you like chow fun get it. If you do choose to come here a lot, I think you should always get those two items because the pineapple buns are really sweet and delicious and the scallion pancake you can use it as a wrap for your other dishes. Altogether, loved everything!!!”

“Where to start? How about the fact my taste buds had a panic attack over how delicious it was. We ordered a bunch of things and shared. Spicy and numbing beef jerky 9.8; Pepper Chicken 9.6; Crispy Beef 9.6. The list goes on. Service was excellent and our guy took exceptional care of our group. Parking was scarce but it was also a Friday night. Reservations were key tonight. Our table was comfortable and spacious. This was Chinese food on another level. I can’t explain because I don’t understand what I was missing before. Mama Chang’s has ruined me for other places forever.”

“Our group of 13 came to Mama Chang for a birthday dinner, and we were seated promptly with our reservation at two large tables. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable. For our table, we ordered Red Chili Oil Beef Tendon, Scallion Bubble Pancake, Fried Cauliflower, Taiwanese Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken, Mala Hot Pot, Fresh Green Sichuan Pepper Fish, Pork Belly with Qianye Tofu, and Combination Fried Rice. All the dishes came out quickly and were flavorful and delicious. Our favorites were the fish and the mala hot pot. The hot pot was tasty and fragrant, with shrimp, chicken, beef, veggies, and lotus root. The fish dish is more like a soup; the fish was tender and came with noodles and veggies, and it had a nice kick to it. I can only handle mild food, and even though both dishes were marked with two peppers, they were very manageable. The other table ordered different dishes and said everything was great too. Our server, Tommy, was attentive and friendly throughout the night. The staff stored the birthday cake we brought and brought it out after the meal. Tommy also provided paper plates and plastic forks, which we really appreciated. Everyone in our party agreed the food was excellent and the service was great. We highly recommend Mama Chang for group dinners and celebrations!”

“I really love the Peking Duck here; it's definitely my favorite. The fish soup is also delicious. The restaurant has a great atmosphere—spacious and the service is excellent. However, the salt and pepper calamari was a bit bland for my taste”

“Mama Chang is the baby of legendary Chinese chef and restaurateur Peter Chang & pays homage to family recipes & contributions from generations of the Chang women, including Peter's grandmother, mother, wife & also a celebrated Chef (Lisa Chang) & his daughter. The menu is Hunan, Szechuan, & Hubei home-style Chinese cooking & Mama Chang is known for their numbing dishes which pack some heat. The decor is stylish and clean, and the place was busy on a nice June Saturday night. The host staff was not very welcoming. They barely acknowledged us when we arrived for our reservation, and they completely ignored us when we left. Our server was outstanding and made our experience amazing! She had great menu knowledge and was very attentive to our every need. We ordered a wide variety of items: Peking duck spring rolls, garlic cucumber salad, shumai, chive bubble pancake, pan-fried yuanbao dumplings, and beef jerky to start, followed by flounder with tofu, five-spice catfish, a half Peking duck, sautéed bok choy with garlic, ghost pepper beef, and fried rice dessert rolls. And, of course, wine!!! As others have mentioned, everything came out fast, fresh, & hot but we found most of it to be underwhelming. The standouts for us were the cucumber salad, catfish, bok choy & the ghost pepper beef. We were celebrating a birthday, so we definitely enjoyed ourselves, and I would go back if someone picked it, but it would not be my first choice for Chinese cuisine.”
