| - Chang's of Las Vegas is an institution. When the Chinatown region of Las Vegas was just developing, I remember having a meal at Chang's and being impressed by the quality.
Fast forward at least ten years later and I'm glad to see Chang's is still around (now with two branches) and that their quality is still up to par.
The majority of diners go to Chang's for traditional Hong Kong style dim sum. However, for our meal, we came for dinner and ordered a traditional Chinese banquet.
Having eaten in Hong Kong, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, I admit I wasn't expecting much. But after dinner, I came away quite happy and thought the meal was a fantastic deal as well.
Service was surprisingly good and it's a surprise this place was relatively quiet of patrons. It may be off the strip, but I can guarantee the Chinese food is better than most offerings on the Strip and of much higher and authentic quality. Two thumbs up.
A sampling of our menu:
Appetizer plate - a beautiful presentation of Chinese BBQ items like duck and goose, alongside sliced meat selections, jellyfish, shrimp and seaweed. Everything was flavorful and really started the menu off right.
Crab claws - Deep fried crab claws fresh out of the fryer were hot and delicious and was served alongside what looked like deep fried seaweed. The waiter later informed us it was the top part of the gai lan Chinese vegetable deep fried and seasoned with salt. Unique and delicious. No one wanted the waiter to take it away.
Shark Fin Soup - classic presentation with good flavor and plentiful pieces of Virginia ham and chicken to complement the fin.
Peking Duck - a whole prepared duck was brought out, skinned, and served to each patron in a bun. They then sliced the excellent duck meat and served that as a platter as well.
Braised Abalone with Chinese Vegetables - the abalone was not the least bit overdone and the vegetables were top notch
Steamed fish - I believe a whole rock cod was prepared steamed with ginger and soy sauce. Live and fresh.
Wok fried lobster - a large lobster cut into pieces and sauteed with ginger and scallions.
E-fu noodles - a wonderful side dish alongside the fried rice.
Fried rice - standard fried rice
Overall, we were extremely pleased with Chang's. Service was polite and fast, entrees were delicious and plentiful, and prices were very competitive. We all left with more leftovers than we knew what to do with and everyone had plenty of their favorite dishes.
Next time you're in Vegas craving authentic Chinese food, you deserve to give this place (or it's sister branch) a try.
Chang's accepts credit cards, including American Express.
