On most weekdays at lunchtime, a nondescript white truck sits in the Technology Square area of Main Street in front of Area Four. It’s recognizable mainly by a near-constant line of people waiting to be served. Chang Foods is a no-frills food truck serving delicious Chinese food for cheap. Almost everything on the menu is $10 or less, and the portions are generous. The veggie garlic noodles came with cabbage, broccoli and carrots over thin, angel hair-esque noodles with a sweet, garlicky sauce that was the perfect complement. If anything, I wanted more sauce, but the meal was still delicious. Despite a long line, things moved fast, and food was in my hands in what felt like seconds. It’s hard to find a filling lunch for under $10, but Chang Foods is doing it – and doing it well. We’re back at Chang’s in week for a true snack.
