Nancy Chang Remains On My Top 3 - Edit
Since 1997, this has been one of my favorite restaurants ever! The vegan General Chow’s Chicken, and vegan Orange Crispy Chicken are dishes that I continue to crave from great distances. Traveling, had to take a 20 mile detour to this restaurant

I love this place!! - Edit
So many vegan options. They can make any of their chicken dishes with vegan chicken! Lots of veggie and tofu options too. I took my non-vegan friend here and she said she couldn’t believe it wasn’t real chicken!

Underwhelming - Edit
Bland, oily, expensive, and feels like it falls in the uncanny valley. Clean place, edible food, many vegan options but *not* Chinese food in any way I'd recognize.

Great! - Edit
Stopped in after receiving a coupon at VegFest. I got Lo Mein and it was really tasty. The portion was big enough to have some left over. I loved how much variety there was, and how kind the staff treated us. It was very clean and my partner and I really liked the atmosphere. We're definitely taking a trip back soon!

Lots of Vegan Options - Edit
Nancy Chang’s has a ton of choices whether you are craving noodles, rice, spring rolls, or any chick’n dishes, they have them all! It’s easy to find the options as they have a separate vegan menu. They also use door dash during lunch/off peak hours
Read morePros: Tons of vegan options, Knowledgeable staff
Cons: Website needs an upgrade, Doordash shut off during peak hours

excellent American-Chinese fare - Edit
First, a disclaimer: Please indulge my perhaps xenophobic condemnation, but I have learned not to trust the wait staff at typical Asian restaurants. Both a cultural chasm and a language divide separate American vegans from Asian wait staff. They do not understand that sea animals are not eaten by vegetarians. You often can find these animals listed right on the menus in the so-called vegetarian sections. I shudder to guess at the ingredients that are not listed. Asian restaurants are no more a vegan/vegetarian safe haven than compared to any other ethnic cuisine.
Read moreBut Nancy Chang's is different! They have a separate menu that is vegan, not just vegetarian. And both times I have eaten there, my waiters have spoken both fluent English and fluent Vegan.
Steering clear from all the mock meats, which make a mockery of vegetarianism, I still had half of the vegan menu from which to choose, which was plenty. Plus they serve brown rice. While the vegan menu is standard Chinese-American fare with sugary sauces, within that genre the food is excellent.
Both its interior and its outdoor patio are comfortable and spacious, and great places to meet your date. In fact, if you park in the small front lot, you will walk thru the bar area, which qualifies as a singles bar. Or use the rear entrance, which adjoins its very large rear parking lot.
Both times that I ate here were after the Veg Food Fest held in Worcester. The Fest is a crowded and noisy zoo that is not conducive for enjoying the food. But at Nancy Chang, you will thoroughly enjoyed your meal.
Pros: separate all-vegan menu, comfortable and spacious interior, good place to meet for a "date"

It was Okay - Edit
I got fried rice, and my partner got some noodles. Not much vegan variety, and everything is mostly just covered in oil and salt. The portions weren't big enough and the waiter didn't really know what vegan meant. But the place was clean, they were kind, and we got some food in our stomachs.
Read morePros: Clean, Kind Service
Cons: VERY Oily

Local Favorite - Edit
This is my Mom and I's favorite restaurant that we started going to a little over a year ago. I'm vegan and LOVE the fact that they have a separate and lengthy menu. I've been there 5-6 times and for the most part the food has been very good. It's not too greasy and I still feel great after I eat there.
Read moreI've only had an issue once with the waitstaff and that was maybe a few weeks ago. He argued with me over making the General Tso's less spicy, when I've had it before and had no issues. It came out with hot peppers in it. He also argued with me about ordering a side dish of mixed veggies and tried to sell me on getting the mixed veggie entree because it would be cheaper in the long run. I didn't want all the extra food. Oh well, the other waiters I've had have been very nice.
It can get pretty crazy in there around dinner time and very loud.
Pros: Delicious food, Vegan knowledgable, Quick take-out
Cons: Too much mock meat, Dishes have shrunken and prices have ris, Always busy

OK for vegans, great for non. - Edit
if you want to go to a very nice and higher end chinese food place and have a few good options once in a while, this is a good bet, a winner if your eating out with a die hard meat eater, as a normal restaurant they are great, the atmostphere is very nice. youll probably be eating a veggie/rice type of meal with a fake meat. not the cheapest but the atmosphere is almost worth it.
