Changhai is a take out Chinese restaurant which stands out among all the other Chinese places in the area. The food always tastes fresh and is delicious! It's in a small strip mall spot in Lexington - we stumbled across it one day and ...?

Just moved back to Lexington and remembered when this placed opened just how delicious it was then. Not any more.... Ordered two lunch take outs. Horrible. The fried rice had no pork and it resembled and tasted like a fried rice one might attempt to make at home. Ordered spicy green beans - no sauce on them. Dry. Sweet and sour sauce is in a squeeze out packet. Ewww. Really just short-cut food, skimping and chintzy on quality. I will never go there again unless I hear they are under new ownership. There are too many wonderful new places around that I will try out next.?

These guys make some good Chinese. The food is less greasy than your standard take-out Chinese and the ingredients are fresher. The flavor is more subtly complex than typical Chinese, hinting that this restaurant does more than cut-and-paste its recipes from other restaurants. Eat here if you are taking out or getting delivery and live in the area.?
