Diners often rave about the generous portion sizes at Chang Cheng, ensuring that no one leaves the table hungry. Many reviews highlight the flavorful sweet and sour chicken, calling it the best they've encountered. Customer service shines here, with consistent praise for the staff’s patience and attentiveness. Those who enjoy prawns will appreciate the king prawn fried rice, which is a popular choice.

Most Disliked
While Chang Cheng enjoys numerous positive reviews, some diners mention waiting times during peak hours as a drawback. Though service generally receives high marks, occasional delays may arise when the restaurant gets busy. A few customers have expressed concerns about menu variety, feeling that while the dishes are delicious, they would appreciate additional vegetarian options. Another minor complaint involves the need for reservations, as walk-ins may not always guarantee a table on busy nights. However, these setbacks are often overshadowed by the restaurant’s overall quality and atmosphere.

We've been using the Chang Cheng for years. I can recommend their deep fried tofu in black bean sauce, the salt'n'chilli tofu and the stir-fried broccoli.

We were searching for a good Chinese nearby and decided to give this a shot. I'm so glad we did. The food speaks for itself. But the service is also worth mentioning. We enjoyed our kung pao chicken, Singapore fried rice and fried squid. Thank you for exceeding expectations on a fair price. Hard to find that these days. Keep up the good work. You have gained a new regular!
