Very disappointed with my delivery experience from Chang Jiang Fish Hatchery Road (via Grubhub). I ordered a quart of wonton egg drop soup and received a pint. I was very excited to tear into my Mongolian Beef, of which I quickly did....all 11 small pieces of beef. What is this, Mongolian Onions? For $14? Yikes. The sad part was the flavor was great, for what little I could taste. read more

Chang Jiang - a person holding a piece of food - Chinese Near Me - Fitchburg, Wisconsin

Been back a few times in the past year. Food quality has improved and service is good. Very quick and convenient

TLDR: Highly recommend! I moved to Wisconsin about 6 months ago and I have gone here at least a dozen times, if not more. It is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant and has great value for your dollar. The combination plates range from $7.75 to $8.25 and include a main item, fried rice, and egg roll. The appetizers are quite good as well, specifically the steamed dumplings. The food has always been hot and delicious. I call to place my order for pickup ahead of time and it is always ready by the time I arrive (within 10-15 minutes). read more

My go-to spot for Chinese takeout especially when I'm in a pinch. Pretty standard fare, I haven't gone too far outside of my comfort zone and have only had the egg rolls, veggie lo mein, or General Tso's - tofu version (big ups that they serve a vegetarian General Tso's dish, which is something I've missed going meatless). In the times I've gotten takeout from this location in the pandemic, the food has been ready earlier than expected, even during dinner rush hours on weekend nights. Really not mad at it and if you have a craving for Chinese takeout, I wouldn't not recommend it. read more

Chang Jiang has been our go-to Chinese takeout place for well over 10 years. I always order the same thing: Chicken Lo Mein. It's been a while (several months) since we ordered. My chicken lo mein tonight was NOT like it used to be. I was very disappointed. I had a hard time finding any chicken in there, the sauce tasted different; definitely not like I had grown accustomed to. Sadly, as prices have gone up, quality has gone down. read more

Served it's purpose as far as trying to satisfy my Americanized Chinese cravings! Hot and sour soup doesn't contain any wood ear mushrooms or Chinese pickles, but had equal parts soup and tofu plus veggies. Consistency was thin. Wonton strips accompanied the soup. The fried pork dumplings had generous filing and no traces of mystery meat. The wrappers were thick and it came with a garlicky, sweet, soy sauce based dipping sauce. Yay! Cheat day lunch!! read more

Have ever seen the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld? That's kind of what eating at Chang Jiang is like. Really good takeout Chinese food. Like damn good takeout Chinese food. But man the service here is intimidating. You have to respect it though because the food is so good, especially this specific location. Just wait in line, don't ask too many questions, order your food, be quiet and wait, and then leave. That simple - you'll know what I mean when you try it. Also, always leave a tip for the cashier girl. She won't be any nicer to you, but you'll get on her good side and sometimes she'll hook it up as far as portion sizes go. read more

I've been eating at various Chang Jiang's in Madison for many years and I have to say that I usually appreciate my experiences. For Americanized Chinese food, I think this restaurant chain consistently presents average to slightly-above average food. Like other reviewers, I think there is better quality at other locations. I prefer the location on the northeast side of town, off of Thompson, and really like the 'crispy chicken.' However, I appreciate that the cost of good-portioned meals are inexpensive. The Lo Mein dishes are well done. General Tso's tastes like it would anywhere else and I do enjoy the pork-fried rice that the meals usually come with. read more

Yep- It's close by my home when I am too lazy to cook. Yep-I never have to wait long after placing my order. Yep-I like to feel guilty after eating a metric ton on General Tso's chicken (extra spicy). This place "is what it is". The food won't blow you away but it definitely will help satiate your Chinese take-out addiction for at least a month or two. One piece of advice. They usually put in a free mega container of some sort of wonton soup. To this day, I have no idea what the wontons are stuffed with. Caveat Edax read more

Terrible Chinese food, don't bother. Can't even taste the meat you're ordering just a bunch of over fried food. Also, the crab Rangoon's have basically no filling so unless you're looking for empty carbs look elsewhere. read more

This place is nestled in a shopping center so you miss it if you blink. The WORST vegetable fried rice I have ever ordered and the staff was rude to boot. If you want excellent food and service, please go to Double Ten in Madison and forget this place. read more

This place is very disappointing. One time, I've order a shrimp lo mein and founded a couple small fleas dead on the food. I tried and call the restaurant and ask for a explanation and they just hung up on me. Never returning back there again. read more

Food was higher quality than other Chinese restaurants. The menu was about the same but the beef was better quality and the vegetables were fresher. Much better meal read more

We have purchased food from other Chang Jiang locations and you would think they would put out similar food. But that is not the case. A person I was with wanted to drive a good distance to another location because they said their food was very good. I said, "why not just stop here since it is close to where we are? They should be just as good." They said I would be sorry and they were right. One meal was ok and the other was not ok. I actually threw some of it away. I should have made the trip elsewhere. read more

Food is OK. Fast service. Have been here several times and people at counter have always been the same. No smile. No thank you. They do not seam in any way to care if you ever come back. If you can get past that then this is as good a Chinese take out place as most. read more

It's cheap for a reason. 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 cards for me. read more

With decent food and average prices, it's probably the best Chinese takeout place in the area. Pros? The menu is large so there's something for everyone and the food is ready in 10 minutes, you can't beat that. Cons? Customer service has never been so great and I don't always get the right change so I just figure it in as part of the tip. We'd probably order more often if they offered delivery but it hasn't stopped us from getting it whenever we're looking for Chinese! When you're craving a quick bite, order for pickup and it'll be ready when you get there. read more

Unimpressive! On arrival, the woman at the counter was talking to her friend on her iPhone with both earbuds in. She didn't take them out to greet or serve me. Manners are free! For a sweet and sour chicken and a can of Pepsi, $6.08, so cheap for the area. The frozen sweet and sour chicken was soggy, probably due to the cooking oil not coming up to temperature before he dropped them in. Needless to say, I left the chicken. The pork fried rice was decent. I shall not be going back! read more

Picked up takeout from here a few times and it's always been great. I lived a 5ish minute drive west of downtown and would drive all the way to Chang Jiang on the west side when I craved Chinese takeout because i found it to be one of the best options in Madison. My go-tos are the Kung Pao chicken and chicken with garlic sauce. read more

I like the food here - it's a fast chinese lunch place so, don't expect the best Chinese food. That said, it is good, prices are very reasonable, and I have had good experience with the seafood dishes - generous with shrimp. The servings are very large - two lunches even for a big appetite. Crab Rangoons are a particularly nice treat. read more

Chang Jiang - Yummy kung no shrimp and crab Rangoon!! Two lunches for under $10 - Chinese Near Me - Fitchburg, Wisconsin

I realize this is carryout Chinese and my rating reflects this understanding. Went in today for lunch while I waited in line for Charter Communication next door. I ordered the Kung Bo Chicken with Fried Rice (the special of the day) and a Pork Egg roll. Overall, there was nothing offensive about it, there simply wasn't any flavor to the Kung Bo Chicken with Fried Rice. For something that is so unhealthy for you (ala Carry Out Chinese), I expect it to at least be flavorful. Unfortunately, it was just incredibly bland and boring. I did my best to kick it up a notch with hot chili sauce, I even added some soy, which I never do. In the end, it just wasn't great. The egg roll was fine, nothing really to write home about and nothing to really complain about either. Not taking into account flavor, value was actually high. It was the lunch special and was $4.35 for the chicken with fried rice and $1.20 for an egg roll. Total price was like $5.60 or so. Quantity was very good as well. I actually only ate half of the meal, which was probably a combination of quantity and lack of excitement on my part. I'll skip Chang Jiang next time around, there are much better carryout Chinese locations out there. read more

This place is the best Chang Jiang I go. The food is excellent. My favorite is sweet and sour chicken

The food is decent and inexpensive. One negative - the woman who answers the phone and works the counter has some of the worst cusomer service skills I have exeperienced which detracts from the customer experience. She answers the phone by saying, "yeah" and does not say hello or thank you when you pick-up an order nor does she smile. Obviously the quality of the food is more important but this woman's lack of customer service skills leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth every time I go there. Chang Jiang, either train her how to deal with customers properly or get rid of her. read more

I tried Chang Jiang for lunch one day, and then I was able to have my leftovers for lunch again the next day! I was so happy. Two full meals for under $5 total. Total. As a vegetarian, I'd say that the menu variety is okay, but not as large as I would like. Nevertheless, the dish I ordered was just superb. Really! read more

I was very disappointed in my order. They did not deliver sweet and sour with the crab Rangoon. That's the best part! Also I ordered the steak and orange peel for the first time. The "steak" was pure gristle. I won't be ordering again. read more

I've been to 3 Chang Jiang Chinese take outs over the last 16 years in Madison. The first was on the far eastside along a road I can't recall the name of and I enjoyed it well enough to be a repeat customer during the first year I lived in that home. Years later after moving to Middleton 6 years ago I began frequenting the location near Woodman's West and I have been extremely pleased with their service and food. Tonight I discovered and tried the Fitchburg location. Ordering the house Special Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, Teriyaki Beef and an order of General Tso's Chicken. When I finally arrived home totally stoked to dig in after smelling it in my car for 30 min's on my drive, I was shocked when I opened the bag to retrieve the Teriyaki Beef and instead find what looks like four slices of thick steaming Beef Jerky. Not a container with (white) or perhaps fried rice, and lots of sliced up meat seared in a glaze of teriyaki sauce and maybe some broccoli to round off the meal with some bright green. Every time in my entire life, when I request the simplest of Asian dishes, asking for a simple Teriyaki Beef means the simple rice and meat thing. Seattle was jam packed with takeout places that sold essentially this meal, being varied usually with chicken or even tofu for the faint of heart who are overly concerned for the well being of our furry or feathered friends from the farms. The second thing I opened to quite a dismaying scowl was the yellow/orange fried rice! Yes, YELLOW ORANGE! Like the crap that gets called Spanish rice at Mexican restaurants such as Laredo's (this just happens to be essentially right next door to this particular Chang Jiang) Yellow fried rice is not what fried rice is supposed to look like. It's supposed to be prepared with SOY SAUCE! Not Tamarind or yellow number 2 Easter egg dye. Not only was it terrible to look at but it tasted like, well, rice from the crappy new I Love Tacos I will be reviewing probably tomorrow when I get around to it following tonight's disappointing dinner. Terrible meal number 3 was the General Tso's Chicken. I've had this dish at dozens of places in Madison alone, and each and every one was somehow much better than the Chang Jiang location in Fitchburg! The red sauce tasted like overly sweetened Sweet n sour sauce with Ketchup blended in to tone down the theatrical blood tint of the jellied sauce! It was horribly oversweet and had zero hint of any recognizable spice, though I asked specifically for the cook to please bump up the heat to be about a 4 star heat rating. The rice that was in this dish too was the Easter egg surprise mentioned previously. Finally, the Wonton Soup. This is ALWAYS a hit and miss item at every Chinese place; it seems that every different chef seems to have a phobia from adding too much salt. But fortunately this is easily amended to suit my tastes. Often however the chicken stock itself is bland which need a tad more assistance to bring out the flavor. But tonight's was simply yellow tinted vegetable broth with wontons that contained even more blandness. So in short, I could've summed up the entire experience with a simple 1 star rating, but I gave it two because the service was at least very friendly. If there is any confusion, I will reiterate that this place isn't any good, and I am strongly suspicious that the chef was pulling double duty as the Mexican Can opener next door for Laredo's which I previously ate a quick one-off meal their a year ago and am reminded that it wasn't much good itself, but at least the piss tinted rice was where it belonged! read more

Terrible! Food tastes like crap and the customer service is horrible. Woman behind the counter looked miserable didn't smile once. When my takeout food was ready the miserable woman just put my bag on the counter and said nothing. No "thank you" no "come again" nothing. This also has got to be the worst takeout Chinese food I've ever had. This will be my first and last visit. read more

As far as Americanized Chinese goes (neon sauces and gigantic portions of food and MSG), I think this place is excellent. Obviously it's not grade A in appearances or uniqueness but the flavor and quantity is there for a great price. Really, really fast service, and it is crave able. Definitely a solid "on my way home and don't want to cook" option. read more
