Chang He Kitchen

“ A little known restaurant, but the center of my world"

What do you think of when you think of Atlantic City? The lights and sounds, the casinos, the boardwalk? Known as "America’s Favorite Playground,” Atlantic City is home to the world’s longest boardwalk and multiple palaces of entertainment known as casinos. It also hugs the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled away in this city of lights is a well-kept secret: a quaint little restaurant known as Chang He Kitchen.

A family owned Chinese restaurant, they have an extensive history of over 20 years in offering traditional Asian cuisine. Formerly known as Hop Sing, this restaurant was recently brought under new management. In the last two years under new management, this restaurant has changed its image and hired new cooks to better present its culinary arts.

Located on 1007 Arctic Avenue, just blocks away from Atlantic Cape Community College, Trump Taj Mahal Casino, and the Steel Pier Amusement Park, Chang He Kitchen is right in the heart of all the action!

What’s unique about this restaurant is its style of service. There is no dining area, as it is exclusively a take out only restaurant. Fear not, though, as there is a park nearby to enjoy your meals in. Conveniently enough, there is a bus stop right across the street from the restaurant. The buses run regularly, so anyone stopping by the church, community college, or the Taj casino can pick up a quick bite to go.

Expect to receive a warm greeting, as it is a family run business. You’ll see many familiar faces each trip. From the host that meets you, to the artisan that prepares your meal, you’ll find yourself immersed in the atmosphere of a friendly and classic Asian style restaurant.

This restaurant is especially great for college students attending ACCC because of their very low price, accommodating those with a limited budget. Not just that; it’s mere blocks away so that students can easily pick up breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a quick snack between classes. They can just bring the food back to campus and eat there too.

Chang He Kitchen isn’t limited to only one style of Asian cooking. The chefs specialize in creating dishes from all parts of China. Food that is both as good to look at as it is to eat. Tasty!

The most popular dish served at Chang He Kitchen is Chicken Wings served with rice. Quoted by many of Atlantic City’s locals as “the best wings in town,” people come from all points of the city to try some. Obviously not limited to just chicken wings, the chefs at Chang He Kitchen also serve Cantonese, Szechuan, and Hunan style dishes.
