I was really excited to try this place. I might give it another chance, but the meal I had was not very good, the man who was dishing up rice and serving plates (not the waitress) was also handling the trash cans, and there was no lemon or lime for my water. Overall, I'd say 3 stars is very accurate for my experience. I had a seafood dish with egg. It was more like egg drop soup with seafood dumped on top and rice on the side. I am not a Thai food professional, but I've eaten a LOT of Thai food, there are much better places around town. I'll be back and maybe will update my review. However, if that guy is handling trash and plates again I'll definitely not stay too eat. read more

During a little family outing we all had a craving for Thai food. Our normal choice for Thai was closed so we decided to look around a bit. We stumbled upon Chang Thai, and couldn't be more satisfied with our choice. The food was excellent, very fresh and plentiful. Our group ordered pad Thai, basil fried rice and Kua Kai, as well as some of their soup. So yummy! Please give this place a try the next time you're looking to satisfy your Thai craving! read more

Food is very very dry and salty. No flavor at all. This place used to be good when it first opened up years ago but now it is very bad. Many other good Thai places in Charlottesville. I would not waste my time going to Chang Thai ever again. read more

I have been watching this space transform from a furniture store into a Thai restaurant over the past few weeks and was excited to see it open. They are still waiting on their ABC license but that is to be expected with a new restaurant and I'm sure they will have it soon. My friend & I shared the appetizer sampler platter which had a little bit of each appetizer they offer and was very yummy. The dumplings were delicious! I got green curry with chicken & my friend had the red curry. They were large portions and perfectly spicy. We took 1/2 of each to go and the waitress was so sweet to pack up a fresh side of rice for each of us to take home. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes read more

Went here for lunch and it was a very pleasant experience. Food was quick and delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. Will definitely be back! read more

Pad Thai with tofu, was really good! It wasn't overly or underly flavored from what other Thai places normally do with their pad Thai. We also ordered the papaya salad, and that was mediocre. Or perhaps their take on the papaya salad isn't what I was hoping for, it seemed more on the extra healthy side. Overall, I would come back here again and try the rest of their menu. read more

Was pleasantly surprised by our experience at Chang Thai. The interior is charming and unique for Charlottesville as there's both upstairs and ground floor seating. We were seated in the upstairs area, surrounded by large windows, overlooking 29. I also noticed how clean and organized the restaurant was. Our waitress was knowledgeable when we asked her for peanut free entree recommendations and our food came out in a timely manner and was flawless and delicious. We got the green curry with chicken and I thought the balance of creaminess from the coconut milk and the spices was perfect. Our server recommendation was the beef pad kapow and it did not disappoint. The beef was tender and I felt like the sauce wasn't too overpowering and paired well with the jasmine rice. Overall, I really enjoyed the food at Chang Thai and am looking forward to coming back and potentially getting a noodle dish! read more

FRESH, friendly, and flavorful Thai! Very CLEAN restaurant and CLEAN glassware / dinnerware (this stood out for me after a recent experience with dirty glasses in DC). This local family business was absolutely amazing - I had the Duck Curry and my friend had Pho with Chicken. We shared Thai Fried Rice (delicious!) and were both very satisfied with our food. Portions were generous, flavours were fantastic and the servers were awesome. read more

Great food, lots of options. Good service. Nice portions. Very tasty, but Five / Thai hot was not as spicy as advertised. Clean, fresh, modern look to the place. read more

I had the chicken Panang Curry. It was delicious! I will go back again for sure! The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly.

First time and would definitely comeback! They are still a new place, so please be mindful and have patience if it takes a while. However, you can tell that they are working as fast as possible. With just one person taking orders, the service is actually very quick and amazing! I recommend placing a reservation because it is quite popular. Even if you don't, you get seated within 15-30 minutes depending on the day. Ordering to go is fastest of them all, but I would recommend sitting in at least once. Beautiful decorations, music, and service! Seating on the main floor and upstairs! As for food, delicious! Big servings and seasoned well! This location tends to switch out so I hope this one will stay! read more

I can't say enough good things about Chang Thai! The four of us made reservations and enjoyed an assortment of delicious dishes; crispy chicken with cashews, pineapple rice with chicken, pad Thai with shrimp and Siam beef. All were very tasty! After discussing we had a hard time deciding our favorite. We enjoyed the food so much we made reservations (although not necessary) for the next night to enjoy another round. And enjoy we did! Great service!! read more

Being a fan of good pho, we are always seeking out the best places to find it. We had the beef and highly recommend them. We did carry out in therefore the beef was not as rare, but overall the broth was very tasty and highly recommend. There was plenty of noodles, so no shortage there! It's challenging to find tasty pho in Cville, but they are definitely my new favorite. read more

Best Thai food, beautiful space and excellent service! Eat at this restaurant every time we visit Charlottesville.

The food is awesome. Atmosphere is great too. The restaurant is super popular and brand new, which seems to be putting considerable pressure on the staff. The food might take a little (ok a lot) extra time, but I think it's worth it and it's nice to just chat with friends. But don't arrive starving. I suggest sitting downstairs if you can, but upstairs is cute too. Very reasonably priced and great big portions. read more

Food was good and this a place I will go back again. Nice environment and service is pretty good.

My friend and I ordered the appetizer platter, papaya salad, drunken noodles, and kapow crispy pork belly to share. I wish the if you like ordering a lot of small things, I think that getting the appetizer platter as a meal would even work! There's a lot of tofu and other items such as the bikini shrimp, curry puffs and more that could definitely fill you up. The papaya salad was smaller than expected and had a strong fish sauce flavor which we liked a lot. The drunken noodles had a nice kick though not as much protein as I was expecting. I'm not the best with spice and it was manageable for me. Lastly we had the kapow crispy pork belly. I wasn't expecting a thickly battered pork belly but that's what we received. The sauce had already began to soften the fried pork belly so it was not crispy at all by the time it reached out table. I was a little bummed considering this was a special but the sauce had a great spicy flavor and paired well with the rice. Overall the other dishes were great, I was just a bit bummed by the pork belly one. I would come back to try other menu items! read more

The crispy cashew chicken was delicious! I'm excited to try other things on their very extensive menu.

Wow, we came from Philly where there are a lot of Thai and other Southeast Asian options. This place has amazing flavors and large portions. We got kanom jeeb, crying tiger, kua kai, pattaya noodle and panang curry, all very good. No misses here. The restaurant is also set up very nice and is nice enough for dates. read more
