Chang Jiang — Restaurant in Fitchburg

If cheap biomass is what you're looking for, then Chang Jiang is the place for you. However, if food quality matters at all, it's best to give this restaurant a wide berth.

I had a short window for lunch and perusing the "it's cheap and it didn't kill me" reviews on Yelp, I figured I'd roll the dice and order the Mongolian Beef ($5.75) to go. The ordering process went smoothly and my food was neatly packaged and ready to go when I arrived ten minutes later - sweet.

Once I returned to my office and popped the top off my carryout container, things took a turn for the ugly. A slight grayish hue to the beef was a telltale sign that a bout with gastric distress may be in my future. Amplifying the grossness factor was the pool of grease and gloppy brown sauce at the bottom of the container. Even the accents (flaccid snow peas and limp canned mushrooms) couldn't rescue this Hindenburg-esque disaster of a dish. Exercising no self respect and overwhelmed by a morbid sense of curiosity, I tried a couple pieces of the beef. Narsty, narsty stuff - gristly, chewy and largely flavorless. Lunch, meet garbage can.

There are several stellar Chinese restaurants on the south side of Madison (Orient House and Ichiban to name a few) where I can enjoy a well-prepared meal with quality ingredients. With that said, a return visit to Chang Jiang is not in the...

Very very disappointed with our sesame chicken and happy family. This has been my go to place for 13 years. Never had a bad meal here. Till today. The fried rice was flavorless, a funny smell to the happy family. Egg roll was the driest ive ever had. The woman behind the counter was in the worst mood ever. I saw her slap my egg roll on the counter. If you dont like your job get a NEW ONE. Ive never seen an empty eclair container of egg rolls sitting on the counter. Like they were expecting a rush. Gordon ramsey would have a field day here. Im a very picky eater and this was my place to eat and will not again. So DISAPPOINTED!!! Asking for a a cup of hot mustard was the worst thing...

I have a deadly food allergy and asked that they omit the sauce on my dish, then I could just use soy sauce. Unfortunately, they decided that they "can't do that" and sent the food without calling me and I was unable to eat it. When I called, the woman argued with me about how they refuse to make it the way I had asked (which all other Chinese food restaurants have done for me). I told them that this can actually kill people when they do not take allergies seriously and her response was "okay". I will never order from this restaurant again and advise all others not to either. This is a huge safety issue and unacceptable behavior displayed...
