Peking duck is a must have but waiter’s suggestions were somewhat disappointing. The spicy Ma la beef was not very complimentary with the other dishes.

Fabulous. Expensive, but the quality of food and the service was well worth it. It is very rare for a Chinese restaurant to have such polite, friendly, attentive, efficient, caring, patient service. In Chinese, the term would equal "gentle", the opposite of "rough" which is lacking in many Chinese restaurants. Chang'an ticked all the right boxes for great food and great service. We loved the duck (pre-order), the smoked fish appetiser, baby back ribs (so tender the meat just fell off the bone), jumbo scallops, egg tofu, and the celery/lily/peach resin. The Pork Belly Sliders were a little disappointing as we were expecting soft buns. These buns are more like the northern style pocket bread buns -- baked rather than steamed. Beware the Szechuan Peppercorn Shaved Beef. Delicious but oh, so very very spicy. Only one person of our group enjoyed it because he can eat super spicy. This is more of a special occasion restaurant as dishes were delivered with a flourish. Not somewhere you'd go to for a quick bite. Highly recommend.

For what the prices are, the portions are small & there was nothing extra special in their version of Northern cuisine. Definitely NOT worth the cost or Michelin star rating.

The Peking duck was well worth reserving for and the pea tops with Ginko was a rare complement to an extraordinary meal. Considering we were the only non-Chinese people in the very full restaurant (on a Sunday night) suggests that the restaurant is well thought of by those who would know superior Chinese cuisine. Although a very loud Indian wedding was ongoing above us the noise level did little to dampen our enthusiasm for this restaurant.
