Bidding a fond farewall to Chef Chang's

Cleary Squared remembers the Beacon Street restaurant, about to transmogrify into another Chinese restaurant:

... The sweet and sour chicken at Chef Chang's House is the yardstick to compare restaurant sweet and sour chicken made at Chinese restaurants. ...

Chef Chang's hasn't been passable since the mid 90s, even as far as white people Chinese food. Though Brookline has alot of good Thai and Japanese places, Chinese restaurants tend to be too Americanized, or just too greasy, or both. Chinatown Seafood in coolidge corner (now Finale) was the exception as it was as good as a Chinatown location.

Don't lament Chef chang's too much, you're better off going to Allston to enjoy Shanghai Gate, which is probably one of the top Chinese restaurants (and restaurants in general) in the area.

Maybe Sichuan Gourmet will be better and keep Chef Chang's recipe for the sweet and sour chicken, but I doubt it. I checked their menu and it seems that they do have it, but when Sichuan Gourmet opens, it'll be the first thing I try.

@ anon: Hmmm...I'll try Shanghai Gate too. I'm close enough to Allston via work to try it out. I'll try not to be too verklempt...XD
