Changsho

Convenient to both the Square and the Quad, Changsho serves yuppified Chinese food for the Cantabrigian who can't be bothered to leave his or her safety zone. The spacious dining room sets an inviting and trendy scene with antique artwork, atmospheric lighting, and well-spaced tables. The extensive menu offers the usual suspects of sweet and sour chicken ($10.50) and rice dishes, as well as several signature creations like Mongolian Spicy Lamb ($14). Those looking for something a little lighter can try the many vegetarian steamed dishes. Chef's specials ($11.50-14) include the inexplicable Chardonnay Chicken and Seafood.

Its large dining room, bathed in soothing tones of brown and beige, will stop your kids in their tracks. They may wonder what they did to deserve a trip to such a grown-up establishment. Don't let the decor fool you. The friendly staff at Changsho is accustomed to serving families. The restaurant also offers a lunch buffet, Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 2pm. On Sunday, diners will enjoy a sumptious brunch from 11:30am to 3pm.
