  Grab carry out from this spot all the time.  It's your basic Chinese carry out, but always good quality food.

  They're extremely friendly and prompt. The food could use more authenticity. I was disappointed by the chicken teriyaki but the Lo Mein is good.

  I did extensive research on Yelp to find the perfect Chinese restaurant for my trip to Peoria.  Unfortunately, I don't think I picked the right one.  One of my main reasons for selecting Chang's over Golden Kitchen and Chinatown was ease of ordering online through the Yelp app.  Another reason was proximity to where I would be staying, the Holiday Inn at Prairie Grove.  Price also factored into my decision.  I ordered crab rangoons, shrimp fried rice, and vegetable lomein for $21.  Here is a breakdown:
  
  Crab rangoons:  Priced well at $4.99 for 6.  I found them a little sweet, but creamy.  Not bad, just not the best I've ever had.  
  
  Shrimp fried rice:  Good in flavor, but something felt off.  I don't know if the oil they used was old or the veggies weren't fresh.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  But this was better than the lomein.
  
  Vegetable lomein:  Very disappointing.  The noodles used were fettuccine type instead of thin spaghetti noodles.  I asked for it to be spicy, but it was definitely lacking in spice and flavor.  They also failed to include utensils, as I clearly requested online, so I had to eat it with my hands, which made it even worse.

  Chang's Wok Inn is another sit-in restaurant that has more of a to-go feel.  I have been here a few times, and it is nice that they have an authentic Chinese menu with dishes that are unique to the Peoria area. I recommend the fried diced chicken with red peppers. Tell them to go light on the peppers.  Otherwise, you end up with more peppers than chicken. Nothing tastes spectacular here. Compared to other Peoria Chinese restaurants, it is quite expensive.  This time around my girlfriend ordered the Shrimp Lo Mein and enjoyed it. Noodles were cooked perfectly, sauce was good, and a decent amount of shrimp was in it. I ordered the Stewed Beef with Noodle Soup. The broth and the noodles were delicious. The amount of beef was generous.  Although it was very soft and tender, the beef had too many fatty parts rendering it almost inedible if you don't like chewy parts. There were also pieces of star anise left in there.  It definitely enhances the dish; but if you bite into them, then all you taste is bitterness. I recommend trying Chang's Wok Inn for a different Chinese food experience.

  I would recommend the pot stickers. Great place for quick to-go orders that also does a good job of keeping food warm
