Chang Hua Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Pulaski

My accidental review. I had an Uber ride that went from Greensboro NC to Pulaski, VA, so once I had dropped off, it was about 7 pm and was hungry for dinner. I was in the mood for Chinese, and this was about the only option. I wasn't planning on doing a review. I just wanted a meal. Well... what a meal I was treated to. Before I go any further, I want to set the table a bit about my "Chinese food eating history" I have lived in China two times (and no this food isn't authentic Chineee food and I didn't expect it to be) and lived in and around Boston and have traveled numerous times to NYC and to many other "Chinatowns" in the country. I've had some amazing (American) Chinese food all over the place. Entering the restaurant, they have a few tables and seats and your typical American Chinese fare, along with photos on the wall with some of their speciality dishes. I got the black pepper chicken that came with fried rice and an egg roll and served to you on a Styrofoam plate (if eating there).

Eggroll- Crisp wrapper on the outside and amazingly flavorful and moist on the inside. Cabbage and (I believe) pork with a nice dose of black pepper throughout and a nice size. 10/10 Fried rice: this was a very good basic fried rice. Not dry, nor flavorless. Wasn't the most amazing I've had but not what I was expecting 8/10 Black pepper Chicken. The color was amazing. When it arrived at my table I knew just by looking at it, it was going to be phenomenal and it was. Great texture, flavor, and all the other adjectives that describe a great dish. 10/10!!!

For anyone who lives on this area and may not realize how lucky you are... you are. Don't take this place for granted bc I've had Chinese food in plenty of small towns, and 95% of the cooks are basically the "flunkees" from cooking school. Funny enough, this is the second time I've had Chinese food in a small town and it was great. I'm going to start calling Va "Southern Manhattan" for Chinese food that is. If you think the food here is not good, it's because you actually don't know what good food tastes like and probably should stick to canned and microwaveble food. I look forward to being near this town again and I will plan another meal at Chang Hau...

We will often order and pick up Chinese food from here. I think they serve some of the tastier Chinese food. It's best to purchase the meals i.e lunch specials or dinners. Portions are so great that we ALWAYS have left overs. This place is best for ordering and pick up, as seating is very limited. They have delivered but only to closeby areas or businesses. You can get can drinks or 2 liters. They have packaged sauces and plastic utensils to forage through. If you are concerned about germs and such-it is best to use your own. Their menu is pretty similar to all other Chinese takeout. I like their vegetables lo mein (veggies and noodles) and sweet and sour soup as extras. I wouldn't suggest that anyone using a wheelchair to visit this place,perhaps have them deliver or ask someone to pick up, due to limited space to move about. Their is no Immediate access (ramp)...

Everytime I order here it's $60 dollars for two people! Then I ask for no mushrooms or baby corn and they say it's to much or a hassle?? I mean for $60 I should be able to not have mushrooms or baby corn in my food!! Then the delivery guy comes and he literally demands a tip. I always tip but he demands it!! I'm done with this place. The food is good but not $60 good. Then the last time I ordered they gave us even smaller portions then normal. Also done think if something is wrong with your food that they will fix it cause I can promise you that's not going to happen.. the food is normally good but the customer service and price and portions and not being able to leave out foods I'm allergic to is ridiculous!!! DONT WASTE...
