Changan Kitchen is a chinese restaurant in Riverside, California. It is listed at 1299 University Ave Ste 104E, Riverside, CA 92507, which places it among the local businesses of Riverside that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (951) 213-6790. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, changanfoodca.com.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 73 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Riverside and suggests consistent service.

Riverside is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Riverside follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

i’d been wanting to come visit this place ever since i visited the area and could smell the food from outside! came here with my girlfriend and i and we were both happily surprised with the portion sizes and the service. ordering through the website made everything so much easier and since we are both a bit shy, it helped lots! our drinks were refilled and the food was amazing. the noodles were so flavorful in both plates, but especially my biang biang noodles! the broth from my girlfriend’s dish was very spicy aswell, i found it refreshing. overall, it was a nice experience! it wasn’t very crowded in there either, the atmosphere was pleasant.

Came across this spot on the way home. We ordered the Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup and Sweet&Sour Fish with a side order of rice. The noodle soup was incredible. I love their handmade noodles and the flavor was amazing. I wished they would put more beef because it wasn’t enough. The sweet & sour fish was good too. I give that dish a 8 out of 10. I would recommend getting dishes with noodles here because thats what they’re know for. The service was alright and it was super clean here. Atmosphere is decent, nothing too wild. I would recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious soup and noodles. Total cost was $39 for 2

This restaurant is an oasis in the desert. You know you came to the right place when the restaurant is filled with East asian folks, we know what's gooood. The noodles are soooo chewy and the flavors hit so hard. We got the slow braised beef noodle soup and minced pork noodles (spicy and sour) and zero regrets. We will be back to visit for the other items on the menu like the dumplings and wontons. Don't sleep on this place. What a gem.

10/10⭐️ Overall: This place has super clean interior and has homey foods that really make you feel warm inside! The service is also amazing, the staff is so kind and friendly and will help you out with any questions you have. Their food is so flavorful too! Stir fried hand pulled noodles with special cumin beef: Super flavorful and the beef is very tender! I love the bouncy texture of their hand pulled noodles! Crab roe and pork wonton soup: Some of the best wontons I’ve ever had! The soup is so soothing and warm and the wontons are soft and filled with meat! Chinese burger with stewed pork: Super crunchy “bun” FILLED with meat! Such a hearty dish, I loved dipping it in the chili oil they have! Pan fried pork bun: Bao buns with a crispy bottom and a warm, meaty filling. One of my favorite Chinese dishes to get! Lamb skewers: 3 pcs of skewers with tons of seasoning and tender slices of lamb. I love lamb so I really enjoyed these! Chicken wing skewers: Very tender and covered in spices! The server recommended these, and I really loved them!

Changan Kitchen specializes in authentic Xi'an cuisine, a taste of Xi'an's culinary heritage. This Chinese noodle restaurant serves up their signature Beef Noodle Soup (spicy) and Stewed Lamb Noodle Soup, with handmade noodles. It is big and perfect for sharing! Just note that their spicy is SPICYYYY so if you can’t handle spice, ask for mild. Their Milk Tea was so good! Their new Riverside, CA location has been open for 2 weeks and located in University Village Riverside. Look for Chase Bank, Denny’s and Del Taco and you’ll find it. The Braised Pork Chop and Stewed Lamb Noodle Soup were my favorite!! Their beef and lamb skewers were juicy, flavorful and spicy. The braised beef noodle soup had tender beef with a spicy broth. Their steamed Pork, Shrimp and Chinese Green Chives dumplings were very flavorful. For the Fried Mixed Vegetable you can pick from a list to add. We chose Beef, Lamb, Quail Egg, Tofu Skin, Fish Ball and Pam Sausage. I loved the texture of their fish ball. They also have frozen dumplings, frozen wonton and frozen White Peach, Peach, Grape and Mango Ice Cream (packs of 4) available. Wonderful customer service from Annie and Ming.
