Chef Chang's

Place has apparently opened with a new name, Xi'an Biang Biang Noodles. Be warned, they only have a portable A/C unit for the restaurant.

Waitstaff was super friendly, she even asked if I had a peanut allergy when I ordered my food, which I thought was nice of her to check!

You get a free sampling of roasted, salted red peanuts, pickled cabbage, and some seaweed with garlic.

For myself, I ordered the Wontons in Hot Oil, and Biang Biang Noodles with Pork. I've had Xi'an style food from Gene's and the stand in the Corner Mall. I have to say this was my favorite Xi'an meal in Boston! The wonton skins were nice and thin, and the oil gave a good spicy and numbing feeling. The noodles were nice and bouncy, with a great sauce. I will definitely be back to try out more of the menu, but maybe on a cooler day!

Great food, hidden gem in back bay

The food is very authentic and tastes amazing and the lady who works there is VERY nice. 5 stars

Excellent quality, focus on freshness -- delicious noodles! We live around the corner and we were happy to see that Chef Chang's reopened. We decided to eat in, as the restaurant has a clean, cozy feeling. The host was prompt and helpful. I am a vegetarian and ordered the #1 Xi'an Hand-pulled BiangBiang noodles. My husband got the #2, which has pork. We both ordered spicy and we loved these dishes. Very filling and healthy. They are steamed, not fried. The other customers were Chinese and seemed extremely happy with the food as well. We will definitely be back. Posting photos of the menu and hours. FYI, the host said they may be changing their name to focus on the noodles. We will definitely be back.
