A kitschy décor graces the interior of Myers + Chang, a hip Boston eatery boasting a variety of Asian dishes, primarily delicious street cart foods. Dragon dressed windows and mirrors with silly fortune cookie writings adorn the restaurant. Based on the restaurant's layout, guests can also catch a glimpse inside the open kitchen as the chefs majestically prepare your food. While there's plenty of fun to be had at this charming establishment, you'll also walk away impressed with the mouthwatering menu filled with Taiwanese soul food and Southeast Asian culinary treats.
