"First, a disclaimer: Please indulge my perhaps xenophobic condemnation, but I have learned not to trust the wait staff at typical Asian restaurants. Both a cultural chasm and a language divide separate American vegans from Asian wait staff. They do not understand that sea animals are not eaten by vegetarians. You often can find these animals listed right on the menus in the so-called vegetarian sections. I shudder to guess at the ingredients that are not listed. Asian restaurants are no more a vegan/vegetarian safe haven than compared to any other ethnic cuisine. But Nancy Chang's is different! They have a separate menu that is vegan, not just vegetarian. And both times I have eaten there, my waiters have spoken both fluent English and fluent Vegan. Steering clear from all the mock meats, which make a mockery of vegetarianism, I still had half of the vegan menu from which to choose, which was plenty. Plus they serve brown rice. While the vegan menu is standard Chinese-American fare with sugary sauces, within that genre the food is excellent. Both its interior and its outdoor patio are comfortable and spacious, and great places to meet your date. In fact, if you park in the small front lot, you will walk thru the bar area, which qualifies as a singles bar. Or use the rear entrance, which adjoins its very large rear parking lot. Both times that I ate here were after the Veg Food Fest held in Worcester. The Fest is a crowded and noisy zoo that is not conducive for enjoying the food. But at Nancy Chang, you will thoroughly enjoyed your meal."
