Cult chef Peter Chang serves up a signature Sichuan menu in this sleek Arlington spot, where generous portions and fun appetizers like scallion bubble pancakes steal the show.
"Peter Chang’s first restaurant is one place fans can reliably find signature dishes from the well-known former Chinese embassy chef, whether it be dry-fried eggplant, bamboo fish, or giant scallion bubble pancakes. Sample the excellent chow fun that often appears on the specials list, or delve into other dishes like the crunchy golden chicken and the homey Grandma’s noodles. The Arlington restaurant offers carryout via phone orders or online orders on its website, with delivery via DoorDash. The fast-growing brand opened a new location in McLean, with more suburbia outposts on the way. Its beloved Baltimore sibling NiHao landed in National Landing this spring." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Eater Staff

"Come here for the eye-catching scallion bubble pancakes, a speciality of pastry chef extraordinaire Lisa Chang served with curry sauce for an affordable $6. After that appetizer, sample many amazing Sichuan dishes, including dry-fried eggplant, bamboo fish, and grandma's noodles. Open for lunch and dinner, with takeout or delivery via DoorDash. An additional area location sits in Rockville." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"This Arlington Chinese food destination works well for groups because there are the large circular tables and borderline ridiculous portion sizes. Groups can come together over large plates of slippery Grandma’s noodles and crispy golden chicken. The Sichuan flavor master just planted his first flag in D.C. with the opening of Chang Chang in Dupont Circle." - Mekita Rivas, Eater Staff
