Chang's Chinese Restaurant

By far our best Cantonese cuisine in Miami � Homemade Tofu is excellent �

Food serving is big and decent price. Fried tofu is good, fried chicken appetizer taste good too my son likes it. Rice is perfectly cooked. Free jasmine tea for the table is nice. Stir fried beef with bittermelon is also good. Stir fry baby bokchoy is ok just little bit salty.

Sunday around 1pm, not busy at all. No dim sum, but full plates. Portion sizes are good

Even though I am Chinese, I am not usually a fan of the food but this place does come close to how my mom cooks in flavor. I also hate tofu because it’s just bland and disgusting but this restaurant does a very good salt/pepper fried tofu that is extremely flavorful. The wait is rather fast and the place has a huge parking. Signage is small but they have a bigger sign on the second floor. They used to be located on 107 ave and coral way but they moved to a bigger plaza on 107 ave and 13 st SW. The photos in google still has shots from the old location so I uploaded some new ones. My mom loves this place and had a hard time looking for them but they said they are also renting the storefront next door so they are waiting for renovations to be done before posting on the Chinese newspapers. We only ordered a few dishes since we were only checking them out to make sure they haven’t changed cooks (usual reason for a Chinese restaurant to fail due to chefs leaving to open their own place). The fried tofu was great as always and the stir fried lobster was fresh (meat was sweet unlike frozen lobster). But the sauce did not penetrate throughout the dish. Same happened with the stir fry leafy greens in fermented tofu fish sauce (one of my childhood favorites in veggie dishes). Maybe they are trying to make it more palatable for a non-Chinese clientele since some strong flavors might be a turn off for those who are not familiar with Chinese cuisine. I also tried the fried shrimp with salted egg yolk (I love salted egg yolk) which was soggier than I expected and they didn’t mix the egg yolk into the batter but rather smeared it on the shrimp. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t my favorite. Unfortunately I am allergic to MSG and it is a staple in Chinese cuisine seasoning so even after requesting them to cook without it, I still felt a little bit of sinus dryness. Overall a great dining experience but we did notice the prices were increased and the three dishes ended up $60-$80 (lobster was $30). I guess the whole location with new renovations is making this little hidden gem go mainstream. I still think everyone should give it a try. It’s my mom’s go-to for dinner with out-of-town visitors (family or friends).

I love this restaurant and am happy to report that their move into their new location only just down the road has not affected the quality of their food! My boyfriend and I love this restaurant and frequent it often. We only order off the authentic Chinese portion of their menu and always try a new dish each time we’re there. They also have a list of specials usually listed in Chinese that you should definitely ask your server about because there are some gem entrees on it! Our first time back at Chang’s and we decided to get our usual favorites, impossible not to order since we love these dishes so much!  The Salt & Pepper Pork $13.50 and the Fried “Hor Fun” with Beef $11.99 are our go-to’s. Everytime we come we MUST order a salt and pepper dish since we both agree it’s the best in town. I’ve also tried their Salt & Pepper Cuttlefish which is  exceptional so definitely order any Salt & Pepper dish with your preference of protein! The Fried “Hor Fun” with Beef is another must since I enjoy larger wide noodles, this dish has a rich smoky/savory flavor. I haven’t tried any of their other noodle dishes, but would bet they are just as delicious! The new dish we decided to try was their Braised Chicken with Chines Wine in Hot Pot. This dish was not what we thought would be a wet/soup hot pot but was instead served in a sizzling (literal) hot pot. We both were very happy with the dish which ended up being more similar to a chicken stir fry with fresh basil and large chunks of cut red/green pepper. Being Thai, the flavors were reminiscent of Pad Krapow Gai (spicy thai basil chicken) which was fantastic! The portions here are sizeable for the price and we always over order which makes for great leftovers the next day. Always look forward to returning and trying the next new dish, next time I think we’ll try their frog hot pot listed on their specials menu!

I’m trying to make a list of all the good Chinese restaurants in Miami and Changs is definitely at the list. You can have authentic Chinese restaurant so as ‘westernized’ Chinese food. My favorite dish is the tofu pot( forgot the full name), the flavor is different from the ordinary tofu you should DEFINITELY try it!!! Also the beef and the shrimp are also high recommended!
