I ordered the khao Soi, one complaint i have with places that do this dish is they add way too much coconut, or chilli, or lime, or they covert it into a thick curry when it's really supposed to be more of a soup but this one is probably the most reminiscent of the khao soi i had in chiang mai and the flavours were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of lime, cocount, salt, and chilli.

Great authentic Thai at affordable prices. We got the Red Curry, Satay Chicken & Roti, we were really happy with the food. The curry was nice and hot so definitely stick with medium or mild if you don't like chilli, heaps of veggies & a good size. The satay was the best I've had in a Thai restaurant in a while, and the roti was fluffy & hot.

Food tasted absolutely amazing but if you can't take the heat even medium is extremely hot. Order a mild one for medium heat

Have ordered from them lots of times if you want proof. Green curry, larb and tom yum are my favs. Portions are more than enough! Seasoning is good. Totally recommend! What i got served was nothing like the one star reviews π

πππππ all the way.
About to go get my usual once or twice a week takeaway lunch from Chang Thai, in Shands Rd. Absolutely awesome staff and food quality.
When you no longer cook, Chang Thai are really great at feeding us all. Go try them out Hornby kiwis.π

Every week, sometimes twice a week I phone order my takeaway and collect it 20 minutes later. So convenient, since I rarely cook anymore.
The excellent service, always with a smile, will keep me going back each week.
Well done Chang Thai. π

Chang Thai Restaurant and Takeaway, Shands Rd Hornby (next to Hells Pizzas, cnr Shands Rd and Aymes Rd)
Great small restaurant that I have purchased at 2 times in the last week.
Food so delicious, fresh produce and cooked exceptionally well.
Have sampled sattay chicken with vegetables, sweet and sour prawns. On request the prawn tails were removed for me. So appreciated.
Being a small eater I get a lunchtime takeaway, which is no more than $16 and 2 meals for me.
When I have the opportunity I will take some of my grandchildren to eat in the restaurant.
Staff are absolutely awesome and so accommodating.
Go try them Hornby people. You won't be sorry you did. π

Iβm so surprise to find a local Thai restaurant which has the standard of Thailand in Here!! Must try all their noodle soup, and Thai Hot is really the one will shock you!

Prawn Tom Yum soap is very delicious! Very nice with rice noodles! Definitely recommended π

Visited this place yesterday, and I can say that here is the best thai chicken larb I ever had! Also I Had a combination starter and chicken skewers are tasty.
Friendly staff, meals come out pretty quick. We will come back again!

So good. Got Uber Eats delivered for 1.

The Penang curry was amazing, so was the pad Thai would recommend
Tanya Coles
Pad Thai Chicken ...noodles the best I've had for a long time.
Do not recommend fried chicken wings but wasn't on the take out menu anyway.

This place is a cut above your average Thai restaurant. I went for lunch with a couple of workmates today and was very impressed. It's hard to put into words, but the flavours in the dishes were well defined and distinct. Not muddled. The spice was in balance with each of the other flavours. The veggies were crisp, and the meals were nicely presented. We will definitely be going back to Chang Thai.

Terrible Thai! Not good value for money - nothing seemed fresh :( No flavours no spice... was utterly disappointing will never go here again!<br/>
Paula
Nice food and friendly staff. Meals are a good size. Price is quite expensive as there could be more meat in the dishes. Most mains are $18-22 and since they are mainly rice sauce and some Veges, more meat would make them more satisfying and better value for the current pricing.

Just dined tonight at Chang Thai at Hornby. Easy parking. Roomy restaurant and pleasant staff. The two of us shared a combo entree, generous variety. I had Green Curry main, medium heat, & rice. Delicious. Husband had stir fry chilli ginger pork with rice, standard heat, also tasty dish. Prompt service. Would go back again when in Chch.

Take Out Review<br/><br/>Decided to have some Thai Takeaway from the restaurant friends have raved about.<br/>I was disappointed.<br/>Husband ordered a Red Curry and asked for it to be thai hot, what he got was a standard heat red curry with extra chili thrown in as an after thought.<br/>I got a Pad Thai. Noodles were ok, a bit bland. Its the lemon and peanuts that normally add some ooomp. However they were missing from the dish.<br/>We got a combo entrΓ©e.... satays were nice, good peanut flavor and plenty of sauce. Money bags tasted like straight mashed potato... no flavor or spices, burnt spring rolls and soggy puffs. <br/><br/>Won't be returning.

We went there on a relatively busy night on a Sunday. The service was OK. It would help if the 2 mains came out at the same time but were at least 5 minutes apart. There was only 2 of us<br/><br/>The table beside us ordered extra rice while we were being served. This slowed down our service. They got the extra rice before we got one main.<br/><br/>The food itself was excellent.<br/><br/>We will go back again due to the food quality.

We ordered take out here awhile ago and the thing that really let the restaurant the down was the staff, they were SO rude and they were joking with each other while taking our order (while treating us like dirt), so no surprise they got our order wrong! The food was pretty good but it was full of bean sprouts which I had specifically asked to be taken out. Would not go back here!

I've mostly heard good things about this restaurant from others. As ever there's no accounting for taste but I remain disappointed. On my last visit this was not just for the food or more precisely its value for money but also for the service.<br/><br/>The setting is fine in this moderately sized restaurant, the food good, even good plus with a commendably honest home made quality about it. Alas, as is almost universally so for NZ Thai restaurants to this reviewers palate, the curries lack distinctiveness from each other; the stir fries are a little too wishy-washy. I guess that's the price one pays for having less then the freshest crucial ingredients? Chang Thai is not along in this predicament even as they charge a little more than most others for very little if any additional return.

Though small in size and casual, this restaurant is really lovely. My friends and I dined here last night and the food was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly and quick to take our orders. The entree's arrived fairly promptly with a small wait on the mains. Still, it was worth the wait when they did arrive and I even took a 'doggy-bag' home (which I found this a little odd as the waitress bagged this in front of us at our table rather than taking it away, hehe)! In fact, I'm eating it as I'm typing this, lol!<br/><br/>The only misgiving we had, every time people walked in through the sliding door, you could feel the cold air swooping through. I never took my jacket or scarf off the whole time I was there and I was still chilled. I still wouldn't hesitate to dine there again though.
