Aug2025: great authentic Thai, in a nice environment. My wife and I enjoyed: hot & sour soup and tom yum (both rated A), spring rolls (A-), mango salad (A+), shrimp mango curry (A+), and shrimp-chicken pad thai (A+). Portions were good, and service excellent!
I had an excellent meal with family here this evening. The food was fresh, made quickly, and was incredibly flavourful. I appreciate that you can choose the spice level for each individual dish. I love spicy foods and Chang Noi certainly delivers on that front. The atmosphere is cozy, charming, and has a lovely Thai flair. Additionally, the servers were all very friendly and professional. We appreciated the suggestions, speed, and overall quality of service. I look forward to returning and trying more of your wonderful menu options :)
The most genuine and most delicious restaurant I’ve ever tasted and experienced. Every dish is filled with wonderful flavours. We cannot wait for our next visit!
Amazing food! We have ordered pineapple fried rice and thai grilled chicken. Both are finger licking good. Ambience is top-notch. Will visit more.
As a Thai person, I can say this is the closest to authentic Thai food I've found in the area. I highly recommend the Panang curry and the Pad Thai with glass noodles, both are my favorites, and it's always hard to choose between them! I also found that they serve the deep fried chicken warm salad, too. It's so crispy and fresh if you like spicy & sour flavour this is the best. It's good with sticky rice and Chicken Satay. The atmosphere is nice and quiet, and the service is excellent. They also have a free parking lot in front, which is super convenient.
I can honestly say this is the best Thai restaurant in the area. Every dish I’ve tried has been impressive. The stir-fried ginger might look simple, but the taste and aroma go way beyond expectations. The deep-fried fish fillets with Thai chili sauce are huge, crispy, and absolutely delicious. The Drunken Elephant Noodles are pure comfort food for anyone who loves noodle dishes. My personal favorite, though, is the sizzling curry on a hot plate. It’s a truly authentic Thai curry, packed with aromatic herbs that make every bite full of flavor. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Thai food!
I had the $30 dinner special. The Thai iced tea was included. The spring rolls were absolutely delicious and very crispy. I also loved the soup and Royal Pad Thai. I even had leftovers for the next day! Thank you for an awesome meal!
We stopped in for lunch and LOVED it! Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. We had the lunch special chicken Pad Thai, red curry with beef, and won ton soup — all so good! The Pad Thai was perfectly saucy with the right mix of sweet and tangy, the red curry had that rich coconut flavor with tender beef, and the won ton soup was light and comforting. And how cute is this — the rice came shaped like a heart! Such a sweet touch that made the meal even better. Service was super friendly, portions were generous, and the whole vibe was cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of our new favorite lunch spots in St. Catharines. Highly recommend!
