Great chinese food

by winzoAL at Citysearch

I think the price of the food is reasonable and the flavors of the dishes are excellent. I enjoy eating the lunch buffet the most because it is the best value for the buck. Having a parking lot is a big plus because finding parking on Mass Ave. can be a real pain in the ass. Decor inside is nice and the service was good. I like their hot and sour soup.

• Pros: Tasty food

Food is good, but, too expensive

by tanvi414 at Citysearch

For dinner, I generally get their hot and sour soup, lo mein and empress chicken.. All pretty good... However, I've noticed their portions shrinking over the past year or so..

Their lunch buffet is usually their best value for money. They have a decent amount of vegetarian dishes as well.. The sunday afternoon brunch though is way too expensive..

And, they have lazy susans on their round tables which is always a source of amusement when you are in a big group!

• Pros: Nice ambience, Decent Food, Parking Lot
• Cons: Very expensive, Small portions

Chang Sho , average.

by infrared66 at Citysearch

Hi , I just tried Chang sho last night for the first time, it was fairly expensivefor two average entrees and a large soup, $36.00. The ingredients in the food seemed to be all fresh but the flavors were bland and one dimensional. The hot & sour soup was very peppery, the calamari was very salty not much pepper as promised, and last but not least the eggplant was soggy.

Sorry ,I expected a little more from a classy looking restaurant so close to some other great dining experiences so close to places like the Porter Exchange.

Best regards, Jon.

Better then any other chinese place in Cambridge--

I have to agree with others --its not cheap to eat at this place-- sit down or take out your going to pay -- well its worth it if your in the mood for good chinese food.. Service is great-- I think they are a little to good-- they are quick to get you in and out.. Yes they have a parking lot but dont expect to always get a spot on the weekend..place gets packed -- I go to this place every 2 months and its worth the treat-- better then the other place across from porter

• Pros: nice looking chinese dumplings, no Tv's
• Cons: cost, rush to get the check

Respectable Chinese food, decent atmosphere, ok service

Changsho is a great place to get solid chinese food. I agree with some people's claims that it is overpriced. However, there are not better options in the Cambridge area. You can always count on eating something tasty and different if that is what you desire. Personally I highly recommend the spicy moo-shi. Something I haven't seen a lot of places. I would recommend this to anyone that wants chinese food in Cambridge.

• Pros: parking lot across the street, taste you can count on
• Cons: service can be on and off, the restaurant is too open inside so when it is crowded, it gets noisy
