Ordered pickup and the food were good. Only missing was the cutlery. Next time, make sure that we have it before leaving the restaurant.

The food tasted amazing, you get a lot of food for the value it's worth! Definitely need to stop by here again if I come to Madison. I wasn't sure about their service and the overall restaurant experience as I ended up picking up a to go order. However the food is definitely worth giving a try :) thank you! read more

Flew back in to Madison after a trip starving. Picked some food from here on the way home. They were slammed with lots of orders. The staff was pulling double duty with cooking and dealing with the register. I did have to wait a little longer than expected, but still not terrible. The food was perfect. read more

I took out lunch from here on a week day. The lunch specials were really good value. It even comes with a spring roll. I had a kung po chicken, chiceken with spicy garlic sauce and curry beef with onion. Everythng tasted so so. The sauce was not properly mixed in. Some chicken pieces had zero sauce. I got a complimentary crab rangoon. That was the thing I liked in the lunch. read more

See all

I was excited to see that Chang Jiang had one of my favorite cantonese dishes on the menu, pan fried seafood noodle. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with what I received :( It did not have any of the vegetables I was expecting and the sauce wasn't right. read more

I don't usually write yelp reviews but was impressed by the food and work ethic of the people working in this small unassuming strip mall take-out restaurant. To all the bad reviews with delivery issues, get up off the couch to retrieve your own food if you want it fresh! To any bad reviews about sauce not evenly distributed, it is a sign of adding it last moment to not scorch or overcook the veggies. I thought the freshness of ingredients was excellent for a take-out dinner at the price point they offer, and portions generous enough for ample leftovers. Unfortunately I was only in town for a business trip, if I lived nearby I would definitely be a regular customer! read more

I picked up 3 quarts of various dishes Saturday night. It was all for me. I made like 6 meals out of that. The containers were practically overflowing with food. I just finished up the rest and it's Tuesday. I saved myself a trip to the grocery store for 4 days. I'll be back again. The food was very good. And relatively inexpensive for how much you get. The people there are very nice too. I liked watching them cook. read more

I can't rate the food because it was never delivered. I paid over $10 for the delivery fee and tip. I called the restaurant and she said the delivery driver stole it and he's third party. I asked her to call them and let them know Either way I'm reporting the theft to my credit card and I'll get a credit. read more

Oh my! Where to begin. Monday last week I orordered My soup tasted like water, my chow main was literally inedible It was not your run of the mill kinda bad food it was 0 out of 10. I in turn called and spoke to Mgr. They were so... apologetic "No problem so sorry we will issue a refund " no refund to my account. I called again got a full blown run around finally spoke again to the mgr Mgr told again issued a refund. End of story thier food is disgusting and they don't make good on their word. Please if you don't believe me continue to look at the other reviews. Actually worse then mine read more

So disappointed in this experience today. It took 2 hours to get delivery order of 3 lunch items. I understand there is snow out but we live in Wisconsin and it was 90 min for the order to be ready.. did you have to pluck and prep the chicken? Quoted 32 minutes so way above read more

This is my go-to place in Madison for when I want Cantonese food! I order to go from the website and pickup/service is very fast! The restaurant is cozy and has a few tables but most people I've seen just get takeout. The hot and sour soup and lo mein are perfect for a night in read more

Best Lo-mein in town love it! Great flavors, great service. Food is fresh and service is fast.

Food is very good. Key is the name of food prepare person and cashier. She does an excellent job of taking orders and preparing out food just right. There is one table to sit at. We order food here often. Mrs. J.H. read more

During a business trip to Middleton, I arrived late and was delighted to find this restaurant open. I ordered the shrimp with vegetables in white sauce and it was delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I went back again. Highly recommended if you're in the Middleton area. Also, the West Towne Mall is nearby for some shopping. read more

Chang Jiang - Shrimp with 93. Shrimp with Chinese Vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

The food here is solid. We've ordered delivery from the many times, and things always arrive fresh, with plenty of utensils, and the quality of the food is very good. The Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken with Mushrooms, and fried rice are tasty, and go-to favorites. We've never been disappointed. read more

no crab in the crab rangoons, at least use imitation krab Or call them cream cheese wontons.

I hate to leave a review like this but this is the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life! The boneless ribs were so tough that you couldn't even cut them in half let alone bite into them. Sesame chicken was just as tough and flavorless. Heck, even the white rice was extremely tough, like it had been cooked a week prior. The food hadn't been cooked fresh today. We all have our favorite places that sometimes the food isn't as great but this is not that case, it was just outright bad. Not a fan of having to throw away a meal completely and not having any of it be edible. read more

Seven years. That's as long as I've been living on the west side of Madison. That was the year I needed to track down a convenient Chinese go to place. The name Chang Jiang was the name of the very first Chinese take out I found when I arrived in Madison in 2000, that was the very far east side of Madison. Later when I moved a few miles westward I found another place (I'll be writing later about each of these places because I still visit them when I'm passing by.) General Tsos chicken is often the item I like to try when I'm wanting to feel a place out. I'm pretty easy going as regards this dish. It's always pretty good, occasionally it's fantastic, but rarely is it cooked poorly to the point of being trash can worthy. Whereas I'm really finicky about fried rice as well as the most rudimentary of Chinese dishes: Chow Mein. To this day I have yet to find a single chef that cooks it the way either of the two Chinese restaurants I ate at both as a child as well as the place that was my first job. Washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant is a great learning experience. I also prepped all the veggies, resulting in being able to prepare onions (in countless ways, and quickly) without shedding a single tear! I'm actually surprised that even when I'm talking to a chef and it comes out that so often they actually are affected by cutting onions still. The Gammon Road location of Chang Jiang is owned and seemingly fully staffed by a very nice lady who has been there EVERY SINGLE time I've been there with ONE exception. I think it was either the day before or after this last thanksgiving. Usually there are one or two men doing the chef thing, while she does phone orders, fryer items (such as the awesomely crispy Gen. Tsos Chicken) soups and packing for delivery and pickups. Her kids are often there plugging away at their homework. That tells me something very significant, Asian parents bust their ass to keep their kids from doing stuff that kids with too much spare time find time to do! I'm speaking of my idle and youth and shit I certainly shouldn't have been doing. But at least I survived my misspent youth and didn't get too deep in the deep. I've had around half the menu items and I'd not hesitate to suggest trying anything to broaden ones palate as applies to Asian foods! The stuff they serve to the generic American walking thru the doors pales when you discover what they cook for their families, relatives, and friends! I was too timid as a teenager to try many of the foods the chefs cooked for their families who would visit after closing time, but at least I was exposed to it. Years later at a different job I became friendly with some workers who were also chefs by night, and they would bring fantastic leftovers from restaurants they plied their true skills! That period of my life I discovered Laotian and Thai cooking! And it wasn't the timid downplayed items on the menus, nor was it completely outrageous strangeness that cant be found! But I've strayed a bit far. Chinese is the most accessible to white bread folks, and this Chang Jiang is the best of the three in Madison. The second best is the one on the furthest reaches of Madison's east side. The third, doesn't rate, it was not even Chinese I kinda think. Since it appeared to share a rear hallway with a Mexican chain (a place I may have written about before, because I remember writing something about them when I decided to never eat there again) eatery, I suspected that the Hispanic cook at one was cooking at both. Simple deduction will inform the reader of the place I allude to. read more

I grabbed a quick lunch here and I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the hot and spicy beef with hot and sour soup. The portion was absolutely huge! The soup was not a full, standard size cup, but still more than enough with the rest of the meal. The meat had was cooked well and the vegetables were plentiful - although the big pieces of green pepper threw me a bit - but this seems to be a common element of most styles of this dish. There also was a note of ginger that was really awesome! The spice level of both dishes (soup and beef) could have been better - it was very mild for being listed as "spicy." The real standout was the fried rice that came with. This dish was not a mere afterthought and actually had flavor, peas, and carrots - it was good! I would definitely be willing to try more of the menu once I finish my leftovers of course. read more

Chang Jiang - Lunch Special: Hot & Spicy Beef and Hot & Sour Soup - Chinese Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

For a Chinese take-out place, Chang Jiang is awesome. I prefaced with "Chinese take-out" because that is very different from authentic Chinese restaurant. So, put your expectations in place before ordering is my suggestion! They give huge portions. I swear my take-out bag is always many many pounds heavy. I've had the House Mei Fun twice now. Its flavor is pretty yummy. It's not overwhelmingly oily like most take-out places. I've also had the Eggplant with Eggplant Sauce (Yo, I heard you like eggplant amirite?). I'm guessing the eggplant sauce means the sauce in which eggplant is cooked, which is like a garlic sauce. Otherwise, I'll be impressed if the sauce were made from eggplants. The eggplants themselves lacked a bit of flavor, but I enjoyed it anyway. I highly recommend the Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken is breaded and it actually tastes like chicken, unlike chicken from other take-out places. Side story... I ordered on Eat Street last week, and it was my first time ordering at Chang Jiang. I totally skipped over the tip portion and felt awful about it. So, fortunately the food was good, because before we picked up the food, we had already decided to go a second time the next day to tip extra since we forgot! read more

Let's be honest, this is a Chinese takeout joint in a Wisconsin strip mall. If you're expecting greatness then you've lost the plot, kid. Is that beef or rat meat? At these prices I think it's worth rolling the dice I don't think you will be surprised by any of the dishes on the menu but I would avoid the seafood on principle. The dumpling dough is really thick for some reason so if that's your jam then stay away. I can recommend the lo mein. In general the portions are huge and lunch is a great deal read more

We ordered quite a few things. My two favorites being the general tsos chicken and the pork lo Mein. The chicken was not over breaded- and the chicken was not gristly. Great seasoning. 10/10. The lo mein was very flavorful and not greasy. Great experience. read more

We enjoyed our food w exception of fried rice. Very generous portions are appreciated. We liked the broccoli beef, sweet and sour chicken, chefs special seafood. The lo Mein pork was good. Food is not at all spicy so ask if you want more kick. Only big downside is NO COVID precautions. Employees did not wear masks! read more

Delivery was fast and dinner arrived piping hot. The food was tasty. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken and it had a good amount of spice. The crab Rangoon was just okay, not much filling. All and all, it was a good value read more

Pretty tasty. General has a nice spice without being too overpowering. Price is also good for the portion size.

Food is your average americanized Chinese food. The sauces all taste the same and you can't tell the difference between general's chicken or sesame chicken. The meat is of not great quality and can be kinda chewy or slimy. I have enjoyed more their home style tofu but still a similar brown sauce you would find on any of their chicken dishes. We've been coming here for years since I was in high school. Service has always been good and the front staff very nice. They are also accommodating to special orders and substitutions. If this is the kind of Chinese food you like come here. But there are so many more places that have popped up in the last couple years that are so much better and much more traditional that we rarely come here anymore. read more

Pleasantly surprised. One of the only places in town that offer cold sesame noodles. Their 'House Special' soup was impressive; similar to a 'sizzling rice soup' without the rice. High quality take out containers; easy to wash and re-use. Asked for crispy vegetables in two dishes; both were perfect. Only downside: Hot and Sour soup was bland. Definitely order again. read more

I like this restaurant mostly because they really aim to please. I called wanting vegetarian soup, which isn't available at most Chinese restaurants or as a matter of fact at Chang Jiang, but they offered to make it for me. It was really tasty and the vegetables weren't overcooked at all. I've tried various dishes there and ordered my own creations, but the eggplant has been my favorite so far with broccoli with garlic sauce a close second. It's really cheap, and there is free hot tea to have while waiting for to go orders. I'm lucky that I live so close to it. read more

The best Chinese takeout we've found on the west side of Madison and it's not even close. We were actually ordering Chinese from Metcalfes or Hy-Vee for a while and decided to try this place after seeing good reviews on GrubHub. The General Tso's was just the right amount of spicy and didn't have a ton of breading. Chicken was excellent. Lo mein was extremely flavorful. We picked up with no issues, they don't do delivery before 5. This place will be a staple for us going forward. read more

A delivery go-to. All of the appetizers were very good. Mains were as expected, with good ingredients. It's important to keep things in perspective. You are paying not-so-much for a whole lot of good-tasting, hot food to be delivered to your doorstep during a pandemic. Chang Jiang produces American-style Chinese food just like what you would expect, if you've ever eaten American-style Chinese food. If you are big on nutrition, you already know to give it a pass, but if you want a hot meal and some leftovers, this is a good place to get it. read more

Questionable Beef Ordered two things in my takeout order tonight - Sezwaun Lo Mein - there was no description so I pulled the trigger. A bit more expensive, it had a sauce that I did not find spicy but my wife did. It was fairly flavorful and had veggies - onion, carrot, spring onion, broccoli. Was not bad really. The real awful part was the combo order of broccoli and beef. The beef is cheaper than the chicken - the beef had a strange flavor, like beef jerkyish flavor, not a flavor that should be in chinese food. Perhaps the beef had 'aged' some? Gross isn't really the word, downright nasty. The fried rice was flavorless and not good. This place does do a few things right, the teriyaki chicken tends to be very good, but based on what was ordered, the horrible beef means that we will be not ordering for any future chinese food needs. Update: I can confirm that my wife got food poisoning from the beef, she started feeling bad within an hour or two after eating, and had vomiting, and diarhea. Avoid this place, and most of all avoid the beef. read more

Okay, so this is my first time writing a review! I just got my food delivered and was pretty disappointed. My favorite Chinese restaurant recently closed (huge bummer because it was actually authentic and family ran) so I decided to venture out and try a new place. I've read some mixed reviews about this restaurant but its the only Chinese restaurant in the area. Delivery took almost an hour which wouldn't have bothered me if the food was worth the wait. Very very bland food. I ordered steamed dumplings and broccoli beef. Beef was really chewy and fairly tasteless. Dumplings were not that bad but still not great. I would not reccomend this restaurant, especially if you love authentic Chinese food. read more

Chang Jiang - a plate of dumplings and dipping sauce - Chinese Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Since when does General Tso's no longer come with rice. Last three times I've been there I haven't gotten the correct order but only offered a refund and not the correct food. My fault for ordering through Grubhub I guess. Best to go in person to double check everything is there and correct. read more

I've been looking for a great Chinese take out for awhile and thought I would give this place a chance. I ended up being pretty disappointed. Their dumpling dough was very thick and the cashew chicken had a lot of large pieces of celery. I won't be going back to this location. read more

Love this place for great delivery. They will customize your food order to your taste. Alway asked them for Order Read Back so you know your Both on the Same Page. read more

This was the Chinese restaurant that convinced me to start being more fussy about where I buy my Chinese food. Though they have had some good food at times they used to have some gawd awful cobwebs hanging off their decorations at the front desk. I don't know how they missed this but if they miss this they also miss other details. Never went back . I hope they cleaned their decorations. If you go there check it out. If not, well there you go, I rest my case. read more

This place is ' ok' it's not the worst or the greatest but I still return for more. It's really hard to rate this location so that's the only reason I am giving them a 3. I've came here before and my food was absolutely fantastic! Then sometimes I come here and its either bland or too greasy. If I'd had to choose between this location or Raymond Rd, I'd choose the Raymond road location hands down..plus their service is way better. The Gammon location should take some notes on their customer service. read more

Very mediocre. Lots of food for the money, just wish it was better. Ordered crispy sesame chicken. Very dry and not crispy. Also ordered broccoli chicken, also dry. Ordered two egg rolls, only got one. Decided to try a new place - won't be going back. read more

In town for a meeting and had a craving for Chinese. This place was the closest and had decent reviews so I gave it a try. Food was delicious and hit the spot (shrimp fried rice, shrimp/scallop dish, veg and shrimp egg rolls. Food was ready for pick up in less than 20 min. Service was very friendly and helpful. I would order from them again. read more

A few of us ordered a delivery to work. When i opened my steamy lunch combo, it was super greasy with a hair to boot. ( which i discovered only after my first two nibbles) nice. i have never ordered from them since. yikes. read more
