Changsho Chinese Cuisine of Cambridge is located between Harvard and Porter Square. In tribute to the Ming dynasty, Changsho's eloquent clear design with clean cut lines has set a quality standard for even the most meticulous customer. The unique ceiling design resembles a Chinese temple.

Muzak plays loudly in the sunlight-deprived, wood-accented dining room of this suburban-style Chinese restaurant, with affiliated restaurants in the actual suburbs (Sudbury and Framingham). The menu features a typical mix of Mandarin and Szechuan dishes, from sauteed chicken with vegetables to shrimp in spicy tomato sauce. The fortune cookies are chocolate-flavored.

You`ll find that Changsho... more

Elegant yet family-friendly, Changsho is not your run-of-the-mill Chinese eatery. Its large dining room, bathed in soothing tones of brown and beige, will stop your kids in their tracks. They may wonder what they did to deserve a trip to such a grown-up establishment. Don't let the decor fool you. The friendly staff at Changsho is accustomed to serving families . The restaurant offers a variety... more

Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine is served in a modern and elegant room with wood paneling and high-backed chairs. Excellent renditions of old favorites, such as crab rangoon and a pu pu platter, are the mainstay of the menu. Chicken in garlic sauce and fried calimari are good bets, as are the fresh fish entrees, available in both Szechuan and Cantonese styles. Be sure to check the white boards... more

The Scene The staff says the restaurant takes its name from a province of China known for its hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Visitors to this classy eatery certainly enjoy a healthy dose of both. On most nights, patrons take their pick of seats in the expansive dining room, which seats well over 200 and is decorated with antique artwork. Friendly waiters are quick to refill... more

For dinner, I generally get their hot and sour soup, lo mein and empress chicken.. All pretty good... However, I've noticed their portions shrinking over the past year or so..

Their lunch buffet is usually their best value for money. They have a decent amount of vegetarian dishes as well.. The sunday afternoon brunch though is way too expensive..

And, they have lazy susans on their round... more

Hi , I just tried Chang sho last night for the first time, it was fairly expensivefor two average entrees and a large soup, $36.00. The ingredients in the food seemed to be all fresh but the flavors were bland and one dimensional. The hot & sour soup was very peppery, the calamari was very salty not much pepper as promised, and last but not least the eggplant was soggy.
Sorry ,I expected a... more
