For the Nashville/Franklin area, I enjoyed the food here! Compared to the vast but unsatisfying asian options around, Changhong is pretty good. I did a pick-up order, so I'll have to come back and try the hotpot, but our experience with the two dishes we ordered was good. Ordered: 1. Snow pea tips ($21.99) - a classic chinese restaurant dish that they did well; would order again. 2. Sour cabbage fish ($28.99) - the portion is huge (you get what you pay for ~$30), but satisfying. The fish fillets are incredibly tender. The pickled cabbage gives it a nice sour flavor to round everything out, and the soup comes with noodles which was a nice surprise. Food was ready in 40 minutes on a Friday evening, so it's a good idea to plan your order ahead of time. read more

At the conclusion of our trip to Nashville, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge, we were in the mood for something that wasn't fried, bbq, pizza, or pasta; so we found Chang Hong Spicy Hot Pot about half an hour away from BNA airport. This fit our time budget just fine as we had about 3.5 hours before our flight departs. This location is what you would expect from an ordinary hot pot restaurant with simple seating, a custom bar to choose the items you want, and a small sauce station. My lovely lady and I decided to go with the custom hot pot option where you grab a large bowl, go to the custom bar and choose the items that you want them to cook in your hot pot. They weigh all the stuff together and charge $14.99 per pound. We originally choose the House Spicy broth, but my beautiful partner asked the lady how spicy was the broth, and she did say it was actually spicy; so she asked them to downgrade my broth to the Sour and Spicy broth, as it was more mild. I'm so glad she did, as my broth still seemed quite spicy, especially the red chili oil floating at the top. I'm not sure how she was able to deal with the House Spicy level, but she was able to power through it. The sauce station was quite limited, without any sweet options to mix with the spicy oil and scallions. Overall, this place is ok for Tennessee. I feel like we are spoiled coming from the Los Angeles area where we have access to so many options with super fresh ingredients. read more

I went to Chang Hoang Spicy Hotpot recently and was relatively surprised and happy with the overall experience. From the food, the service, friendly and welcoming staff, and cute environment/restaurant itself - it had left a great impression to me and my friends. We went as a group of 6 and ordered family style (with 3 dishes and 2 'build your own hotpot bowls' that is charged by weight). Considering that we had plenty of leftover and feed a group of 6, I'd say the price is fair. It's not "cheap" but also not "extremely expensive". At first I was skeptical due to a slight language barrier but even then, the staff did their best to ensure we had a pleasant experience! Not to mention, the store had no one inside which is to my surprise. I hope their business remains open and grows further. If you're in Murfreesboro and were craving asian cuisine, (and not on an extreme budget) I'd definitely recommend this place. Keep in mind that there's a 4% fee when paying by card unless you use cash! read more

Fun, casual hot pot experience. I'm used to a hot pot restaurant with the broth in an warmer at the table, this is a bit different, you pick out your vegetables protein and noodles from a salad bar and then choose your broth when you food gets weighed (in my group of 7 most bowls weighed around 2lb). They cook your food in the broth and then bring out your bowls. You can further customize your flavors with dipping sauces. It was delicious! I ordered the spicy broth and my daughter ordered the peppercorn broth which we think was Szechuan peppercorns. Everything was amazing! Service was quick and friendly XO d read more

Changhong Spicy Hot Pot - Hot pot with spicy broth - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Our first visit here and I can honestly say the food was the best Chinese food we have had since we moved here 19 years ago. We did not try the hot pot option this time, but opted to order dishes from the menu. Everything was delicious, but the Sechuan Eggplant deserves a special mention - a stunning slightly sweet spicy flavor. The twice - cooked pork dish was also a big hit The entrees are meant to be shared, so we went home with leftovers ( we can't wait for dinner tomorrow!) Staff were very friendly and helpful, and service was fast and efficient. We will definitely be back to try the hot pot! read more

I got hungry after shopping at the Painted Tree. I found this place by accident because it was in the same strip mall. My server asked if it was my first time here. If you have any questions, just ask your server. I was a bit surprised that the price was a bit high for a casual restaurant like this. Well, let's t give this place a shot. I ordered Hunan stir-fried pork belly with green pepper. The portion was pretty big. I paid close to $30 with tip for a lunch with water. That was very expensive for a person. (Inflation price?? I don't know) The food was delicious and pretty authentic. This dish was rated 1 spicy level but it was spicier than a level 1 according to a Thai girl who eat a very spicy Thai food. If you are sensitive to spicy food, please let them know. Oh...if you ordered just a glass of water, it had a hint of lemon in there. That was pretty nice. Will I be back? Yes, of course but I won't come here alone like this time. Good food is meant to be shared with friends and family. read more

I have been meaning to stop by and finally glad we did! Service was great! When we were there - lots of pick up orders. If you're dining in then you can take a seat and a wait staff will be provide a menu. The food was all good - flavorful and not greasy. Tried their already pre-set beef soup and it was delicious. Fantastic broth! Loved the condiments available on the table. They also have the option to self serve and have your soup ingredients weighed which is cool. Beef roll is also outstanding and lots of beef inside. Liked their Boba tea choices and it was delicious. On the sweeter side but you can always ask for it to be less sweetened! All in all - great spot for soup! read more

After seeing ppl posting on social media about an authentic Chinese in Franklin, had to try it for myself to the judge. Upon ordering, I studied the menu and went with my personal favs, salt & pepper shrimp (10/10 for the flavor & large portion & shrimps were huge), snow pea tips (9/10, these were great, nicely cooked & not overly salty), and lomein combo (7.5/10, these were good but could better needs a bit more umami flavor). I did get adventurous and order the sour fish soup (9/10, surprised good, swai fish was very tender, the cabbage was a nice & slightly sour, the broth had lots of garlic pieces that I loved and some noodles that paired well with the brothy slightly spicy soup). The dishes seems pricy until you see the large portions. My family will be eating on these leftovers again for a couple more meals so worth it, we will be back! The staff were very friendly and helpful! They seem like they really care about their customers & hope you will enjoy the food. Love supporting local authentic restaurants & small businesses like them. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and the place was pretty empty. Really grateful for authentic Chinese food in the area, but our food was underwhelming. You order at the front and grab a seat, then they'll bring the food to you. We got the rice noodles, and we noticed some other tables had the individual hotpot where you can pick out your ingredients. A lot of the rice noodle ingredients they gave were canned meats and not many fresher ingredients. The quail eggs were very mushy inside and tasted very sour and off. The wood ear mushrooms also tasted odd and slightly bitter, so I didn't eat them. Overall, service was good and the place was clean, but I don't know if I'll come again due to lack of freshness of ingredients. read more

Changhong Spicy Hot Pot - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Never been to China but I speculate this is what authentic Chinese food must taste and look like (including the Chinese TV's channels as part of the decor). First time I visited I did the hot pot off the buffet with mainly seafood items (see image). While they have the eponymous hot pot in their name they are much more than hot pot cuisine. On subsequent visits we ordered off the chalkboard menu of daily specials or the colorful menu. The service is excellent as they encourage you to ask questions. They use very fresh ingredients and you will get lots of them but you will pay dearly. Given the size of the portions, in their own way it is a family restaurant. A better description of the restaurant would be Changhong Spicy Hot Pot and Chinese Food Family Restaurant. read more

Chang Hong Spicy Hot Pot is a small mom and pops style restaurant. They were quick, polite and very helpful considering that we have never eaten at their place. We bought the Stewed Pork Burger and the self service hot pot where you get to add your own ingredients, and then they cook it in your choice of broth. I got the Beef Bone Broth with my soup. I must say, our food was Absolutely amazing. Get the beef bone broth. Mmmmmmmmm PS. 1 I highly recommend this restaurant 2. Do not be fooled by the menu that you see on online. When you build your soup. There are tons of options to choose from. 3. Once again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU EAT HERE. read more

We usually go there for noodles and this is our first time actually ordering a-la-cart Chinese food. Aren't we happy we tried that!! The food is so good, full of flavor, and big servings! Love the cumin lamb and potato salad especially. Hands down the most authentic Chinese food in the area read more

Researched the area for a good Chinese restaurant. This place had four stars, so we decided to try it. I ordered the beef and broccoli from the Asian Classics section of the menu. Having dined at great Chinese restaurants in NY, LA and San Francisco, my expectations were low. But even the lowest of expectations far exceeded the meal I was served at Changhong. My first taste of the beef tasted like a slab of fat. This was followed by bite after bite of gelatinous planks of goo. My wife wanted to try a bite and she couldn't cut through it with the side of her fork. She said it tasted like flavorless rubber and questioned if it was actually meat. Every single slice of beef had the same consistency. The waitress, who was lovely, tried to explain that the meat was sliced thin and that the chef added starch. I'm not buying it. And we are not returning. . read more

Chicken Rice Noodle soup with sour spicy broth is amazing . Make sure you order the grape green tea drink, like a boba but a little more. Staff is friendly, food comes out very hot. I will be going back read more

I had the hot pot. You choose your own meats and vegetables from a buffet, and they charge per pound. You also choose the broth. Unlike traditional hot pot (at least the ones I've been to), they cook your meats and vegetables for you in the kitchen. This benefits you because the hot pot meal comes out quickly. The end product was tasty and filling, and the broth was especially flavorful and authentic. I plan on returning and trying the other items on their menu, which has authentic Chinese menu items not seen in normal Chinese restaurants. read more

Very authentic. Speaking Mandarin would help. Pay by the pound. Got the Spicy soup with my veggies and meat. Great quality. About 4 degrees cooler than the sun!!! Had 5 glasses of water and I'm still on fire. Quality great. Would not order the spicy. Water glasses are about 4 ounces, needs to be about a quart. Friendly staff and clean. read more

This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, the staff made it very clear they didn't want to serve me. They were rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. To make matters worse, they kept giving me different closing times, as if they were trying to rush me out before I even had a chance to order. As for the food--an absolute disaster. I specifically asked if a dish was spicy because I can't handle too much heat. I was assured it wasn't, but when it came out, it was so spicy I could barely take a bite. Either they lied to me, or they don't know their own menu. The lack of care and attention to customers is appalling. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. This place doesn't deserve your time or money. read more

I think everyone in Franklin needs to try hotpot. It is one of the most sought out restaurants for me whenever I visit a new city. This hot pot did not disappoint. The food was comforting and plenty! I ate to my hearts content. The broth felt like it could cure any cold and I low key wished I had one to put it to the test. I loved this place so much that I planned on eating here twice. read more

Absolutely amazing, authentic Chinese food! The super friendly staff explained the different options that were available: choose from the hot pot bar along the wall and pay per pound or pick something from the menu. My husband and I decided to try both since it was our first time. He got the per pound hot pot options with the bone broth. For a decent amount of food, his dish came out to be around $12. The bone broth was super flavorful and honestly one of the tastier bone broths I've had in a while. I decided to try the beef rice noodle set with the mushroom broth. The presentation was gorgeous!! The soup comes out boiling and you add all the sides into it to cook. It takes about 10 seconds for everything to cook well. I really enjoyed the mushroom broth and my husband did too, even though he hates mushrooms. Cannot rave about this place enough! Definitely check it out if you're in the area! I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes on the menu! read more

Changhong Spicy Hot Pot - Beef rice noodle - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Environment: Over the top good service, well staffed, very clean and inviting, easy to get a table and family friendly with clean high chairs and enough space to accommodate. Food: get the authentic Dongbei stir fry dishes if you have a chance!! I am not sure if they are always available. Otherwise the rice noodles are very fresh, light, and tasty, and they also have some dishes native to Xi'an like roujiamo and liangpi. This is probably the only place in Nashville where you can eat shaanxi style food. I have not had the spicy hot pot yet but it looks fresh as well. read more

Love this place! The boba is delicious I always get the Thai Tea. Today, I tried a fruit based tea as well which was Mango and lemonade super good! I also got a Chicken Chow Mein a big plate was $12 which I shared with my husband. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing! The food is exceptional. The way it works, you pick different ingredients you want in your hot pot (essentially a ramen soup), and then pick your soup base. They cook it all together and bring it back to you! The ingredients were both fresh and diverse - lots of choices! For protein they had beef, lamb, chicken, fish, shrimp and tofu. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Changhong Spicy Hot Pot - Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Came on a weekend evening around 5:30PM, at least half the tables were taken. I wanted the crossing bridge rice noodles and my friend wanted the hot pot, and after helping with getting ingredients for the hot pot, I decided it might be enough for both of us. So, we just had that with the beef bone broth (friend doesn't eat spicy, sadly), and got the beef roll. I got the extra spicy oil, garlic, and green onion from the spice bar next to the hot pot ingredients, and that combination was amazing - sufficiently spicy and flavorful. The hot pot itself was fine, nothing special, soup was fine, could have been more flavorful. The rice cake was perfectly chewy which was great, and the ingredients were good. Quite pricey though, as the bill came out to be around $45 for the amount of food we had. Beef roll was extremely mediocre, as the wrap wasn't great and inside was just beef and cilantro, which made it a bit dry and lacking flavor. Very clean and modern inside, not too loud and friendly service. Might be back to try the rice noodles! read more

Saw a recommendation for Changhong and 12 hours later I was having it for lunch. The restaurant is newly opened, clean and spotless, and the staff were patient, helpful, friendly, and made sure the experience was tops. It's in a strip shopping center so the vibe is casual and bright. The food is incredible and the flavors were many and layered. You can either order off the menu or go buffet style at the cold bar, with a variety of meat, fish, veggies, noodles, garnishes, and broth bases to choose from (I had the Szechuan peppercorn broth. Delicious!) Do not sleep on this place. I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

an unbelievable find in Franklin, TN for authentic Chinese food. for someone that has exceptionally critical tastebuds, especially for Asian cuisine, i was absolutely blown away by the quality and flavor profiles. the service is quick and efficient! i also love the cute quirkiness of the small space and the artwork. my only wish to improve the overall experience is that they served a few beer options, as i believe nothing accompanies hot and spicy broth like an ice cold refreshing beer. this will definitely be a go-to option when dining out for me. read more

Our server couldn't explain the process, which was very confusing. There were posters and paper menus everywhere, but we couldn't get our questions answered, so we ended up with very bland, flavorless food. If we had researched it, maybe we would have enjoyed the process read more

Great service, and friendly service. Food ok. Maybe just what I had, as others really enjoyed.

We went last night and gave it a try. It was really good! Definitely authentic really tasty.

It has lost its 'Chi'. Family has been coming here for the cross bridge noodle, the broth was great in the first few months they opened. Last time I went, which was approx 1 month ago. They changed the bowl to smaller version citing the usual ones were cracked so they changed to this new bowls, which made stirring all the ingredients in the bowl difficult. In case you are not familiar with cross bridge noodle, the ingredients are raw, and you have the hot broth to cook them when the server brings it out to your table. Small bowl, that's a no no. Then it's the broth, it tasted like water. What?! We came here for the flavor of the broth and we got water?! We grew up in China and we know what real Chinese food tastes like. If you are after "white people's food", then this restaurant will be your pick. read more

This place is amazing, It's always fresh and so delicious. Totally recommend. Service is great. Any wait is worth it. :)

I am not a very adventurous diner but I took my son who loves spicy food. The staff was very courteous and explained everything to us. I was able to pick foods I liked and use a soup base that was not spicy. They have a large choice of foods to add. We will definitely go back. read more
