Chang Mao

Very disappointed. I had been to this restaurant before the Pandemic a few years ago and it was fine. Although overpriced for Chinese food, the ambiance was worth it. Now it's take out only, they say because of COVID. Which is fine too. But, although there is a sign that says masks are required, none of the workers there wear one. Now, on to the food. It was mediocre. The Pork egg foo young was not served with separate sauce. The hot and sour soup was horrible. No taste, lots of soy curds but hardly any vegetables or seasoning, Not "hot" at all and hardly any mushrooms. The price: They charged an extra 3.95% to pay by card. Does not matter if its a debit or credit card. The combo egg foo young was 10.75 and you could not substituted the egg roll for anything else. The A La Cart Egg foo Young, is 9.75 which is not much different. So, if you must go here, order A La Cart... the Egg Roll is not worth it. There are better Chinese restaurants in Port Jervis or on 6 going towards 84 is a Chinese Buffet restaurant next to a mote which is much better and you get a better deal. You can dine in and they wear masks and disinfect everything.

I asked for Kung Pao chicken and asked for it to be medium spicy (actually Zhōng là in Mandarin), and it was perfect and all the vegetables were perfectly fried crunchy. The biggest surprise was the amount of chicken in the dish. Chang Mao served more chicken in their Kung Pao than any other Chinese restaurant I have been to, maybe on a par with one near Princeton. Next time I will order it spicy hot (Là là de).

There aren't many options for Chinese in the area so Chang Mao's it is. I believe it's the owner, has the biggest attitude problem, EVERY TIME I order. I mean every time. I don't think I've ever seen her friendly. My biggest issue..is how cheap they are with the duck sauce. Two duck sauces for a $40 order is pathetic...I've offered to PAY EXTRA for more, to which they decline and say they'll give extra...only to give two more. They're also jumping on board with the merchants who want their customers to absorb the credit card fees...annoying...but somewhat okay considering everyone got hit hard with the pandemic, Lastly, on top of your rudeness, asking me if I want to leave a tip for takeout...no thanks. I don't think I've ever actually had someone ask me that. If you're desperate, go for it, the food is okay, but if you can make the trip, head down to Port Jervis for Ming Moon. Much better food/serving sizes/service.

It's Chinese food. Nothing super special. There fried rice and lo mein are decent. Good chicken and rice soup. Like if you have $3 and need a filling soup, get the chicken and rice.
