I tried Chef Chang's with a friend because it had a great rating on this website. We were immediately seated and brought hot tea. The service was great. Our appetizer of peking ravioli and especially the sauce was very tasty, though the dough was very thick for our tastes. My friend enjoyed her scallops with garlic sauce. My kung pao scallops consisted mostly of a dishful of peanuts. The scallops were sliced into pieces of not more than 1/8 inch thick, so altogether I doubt there were more than half a dozen, if that. Other than the sauce, there were small bits of scallion. Nothing else. Though somewhat tasty at first, I found it very dry and there are only so many peanuts I can eat at one time. When I pointed out to the waitress, when she came to take our plates, that the dish was mostly peanuts, she said that I must have eaten most of the scallops. Then someone standing nearby who must have overheard, who may have been the owner, came over and immediately began defending the dish, saying how it was created 27 ago and how a lot of people like a lot of peanuts................ Also, my Fog Cutter had a slightly bitter medicinal taste, and, as I'd never had one before, my friend tried it and agreed that it shouldn't taste like it did. I doubt that I'll return.
