What People Are Saying About Changsho

Citysearch
The Scene – The staff says the restaurant takes its name from a province of China known for its hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Visitors to this classy eatery certainly enjoy a healthy dose of both. On most nights, patrons take their pick of seats in the expansive dining room, which seats well over 200 and is decorated with antique artwork. Friendly waiters are quick to refill water glasses or deliver a side of dipping sauce. – – The Food – The lengthy menu features several different styles of Chinese cooking, including Hunan, Mandarin and spicy Szechuan.

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--
by sweendogy at Citysearch
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
