Chang Garden

This is a lovely restaurant, and the food was basically quite good. However, there were a few problems, and I probably will never return there. The first problem we encountered was the menu. It was extremely difficult to read. It had a dark background with light print, and there was a shiny surface on it that was reflecting all the lights. The print was quite small, too. So, we had some questions. I am a Pescatarian and was trying to find out which soups had meat in them. We asked the waiter, who is an older man with a raspy voice if there were any soups without meat. He said the wonton soup didn’t have any meat in it. I asked if it had a meat broth. He said something snarky that I can’t remember. He finally admitted that it was made with chicken broth. Again, I asked if there was any vegetarian soup. He wasn’t sure. I asked if he could go find out. He gave me a disgusted “ yeah, I can do that”answer. Then, because I’ve found out in other restaurants, that a dish such as “Seafood Supreme “ or “ Crab Delight” has pork in it, I asked if the Kung Pao Shrimp had any meat. Again, I got a snarky reply about it having shrimp. I explained I was just making sure. Then, he said he’d mark me down for gluten free. I said I didn’t need gluten free. He said he would put it down anyway to try to cover any other problems. I repeated that I didn’t want gluten free. He said he was just trying to help me. Never again!!

What great place! Great staff and very helpful and accommodating to my Celiac/Gluten free diet. I will definitely be back when I visit the Wausau area!
