Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you want great Thai food at good prices, visit Chang Thai in Hornby. Its a small place, so when they're busy (like 7:30 Friday night) they'll be pumping out the online pickup orders, so expect a little bit of a wait - but it's worth it. The panang curry is great, the pineapple fried rice very good, the starters (dumplings, spring rolls, fried chicken wings) were all big hits with our young one as well. Can't wait to go back to try more from their quite large menu.

We had lunch here on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was clean, staff pleasant and attentive and our two meals absolutely delicious. I had pork, cashew nuts and vegetables including large pieces of tasty mushrooms and my partner had chicken with peanut sauce plus vegetables. All this for $13.00 each. We'll definitely be back again.

I brought my family there for dinner last week. We know Thai cuisine pretty well because we used to live in Thailand for many years. What a wonderful experience: Although the ambience is average, I think the quality of food and service level were good, more than enough to make up for the average ambience. The price is reasonable, the location is great too. Plenty of parking space. If you like Thai food like us, I highly recommend you to come to Chang Thai.

Stopped in here with family, the resturant itself needed a good clean. We were there with one other family.
Ordered multiple dishes, the came out erratically, the Penang curry was bitter, the vegetarian noodles was bland, the fish dish was frozen and deep fried packaged fish with a packet sauce. The salad was ok.
Overall, salty, over priced and not authentic. I would not recommend.

We went here as 2 couples and found a good selection on the menu at average dinner prices. We had 1 beer an entree and 2 mains coming to a total of $60 our friends had a boy bottle of wine 1 large enter and 2 mains for about $72. 3 of the 4 mains were good which but the sate meal not so good.

We stopped at this restaurant for takeaways on the recommendation from family. I choose the wrong option in the Gang Panang curry , this was described as having a slightly creamy taste, which was correct, but I didn't enjoy. Have to go back and try another option before I decide if this is going to be a regular.

Used to be our go to Thai before moving out of the area...seems to have gone downhill. Combination starters were tiny and lacked flavour...don’t bother. Gai sarm rod still very good and the highlight. Pad Thai and the Chang hot plate steak both pretty bland. Asked for chilli and was given powder. Just very not great.

3 of us went for dinner, we used First table and ate at 5.30pm
We ordered mixed entrée and fresh spring rolls. The entrees were mixed the sate chicken on a stick could hardly be pulled off the stick. The curry puffs were fine but small as were the spring rolls and money parcels. The spring fresh rolls were dry and filled with too much vege mix and not enough chicken and prawn. Not a pleasant entrée had much better at other thai restaurants.
My main was steak and there was quite a bit in the dish but it was tasteless even tho on a sizzling plate, once again padded up with tasteless veges, Not recommended
Another person had a chicken special abd the chicken was deep fried in batter and well overcooked.
Glad we wnt at 1/2 price as I would not go back even tho it seems to do a big takeaway trade,

Great dinner and very tasty. We had a seafood dish which was really nice and very large servings, other dish was a pad thai and was so tasty. The Restaurant was very clean and tidy and the service was very friendly. Would recommend as it is the nicest and tastiest thai meal I have had. There was 3 of us and we had 2 meals which we shared, we also had enough for lunch the next day. Would go back and recommend.

I go here often for business lunches and have a favourite dish. The Red Curry is always a treat especially during the winter months. Service is friendly and Chang Thai is popular with my work mates.
