Myers + Chang Boston brings chef Joanne Chang’s bright, spice-forward Asian fusion to 1145 Washington Street in the South End, where dumplings, bao, wok noodles, and vegetable plates fill a lively neighborhood dining room. Co-owned with Christopher Myers and led day-to-day with executive chef Benjamin Hoxsie, the restaurant remains a South End staple for shared plates, date-night menus, and weekend brunch.
Menu highlights at Myers + Chang Boston
The kitchen mixes Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Thai, and Southeast Asian comfort cooking with clear spice levels marked hot, hotter, and hottest. Crowd favorites from the current dinner board include Mama Chang’s pork and chive dumplings with black pepper–scallion dipping sauce; braised pork belly buns with pickled daikon and brandied hoisin; Korean fried chicken bao with gochujang glaze; spicy wild boar dan dan noodles with pickled mustard greens and black garlic; and miso black cod with charred baby bok choy. Vegetable stands such as hakka eggplant, sweet-and-sour Brussels sprouts, and ginger scallion bok choy round out a table meant for sharing. Brunch runs Thursday through Sunday late morning into early afternoon, and a prix-fixe date-night menu for two is offered Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. Confirm prices and daily specials on the official Myers + Chang menus—most dumplings and small plates land in the mid-teens, with larger noodle and “favs” plates typically in the mid-to-high twenties (roughly $$–$$$).
Atmosphere: lively South End sharing room
Myers + Chang Boston is built for groups and grazing rather than quiet tasting menus. The room stays energetic on weekends; spice-level markers and a cocktail list (bloodlust margaritas, sake sangria, housemade sodas) keep the pace casual. A kids menu and take-and-make dumpling kits extend the brand beyond a single night out.
