chang thai & asian cuisine

goodthaiis basically nonexistent in central arkansas so anything decent that opens is likely to be overrated pretty quickly. this place is very strong but the 4.5 average it's gotten here already smacks of overcompensation. but tasty and worthwhile for sure for all of usthailovers that are in constant search for great quality thai. worth the drive but not as good as elitethaiplaces in other cities.

i dream of chang..... i've traveled the country and had a lot ofthaifood in my day, and there's only onethairestaurant in all the world that holds my heart and that's bangkok 56 in harrisburg, pa. . . . but chang is quickly becoming my favorite place in arkansas.

the staff here is wonderful, the spring rolls, drunken noodles and green curry are my favorite favorite things on the menu, and the prices are so dang reasonable it's worth the 30 minute drive. there's just nothing like a burning plate of food that makes you sweat at the end of a long, hard day.

nowhere in little rock that compares. wonderful place.

i think this is the bestthaiin the little stock area. the pad see ew and spring rolls were hot and made to order and the hot is nice and hot! i'm be back again and again.

first time here and i felt it was ok for little rockthaihowever, that isn't exactly saying too much. i thought the food was a little bland and there was a ton of curry sauce and not a lot of meat. i got a 7 on the spicy scale and it tasted like a 3. too bad little rock doesn't have any fayetteville thai, now that is where it is at. probably won't drive from wlr again just for this thai. hopefully my travels take me back to nw a for some good fresh thai.

egg roll. house made egg rolls with chicken and vegetables.

pad kee mow. stirred fried flat rice noodles with onion, fresh chili, broccoli, baby corn, and bell peppers and a combination of chicken, shrimp, and beef. accented withthaibasil leaves.

nothing else this good in the area!. we have been searching for a decent asian restaurant for a while now here in the little rock area being we just moved here a year ago (without driving to little rock!) and i found this place via urban spoon and we do not regret it! we came from overseas (military) so i can say we've had a fair share of decent asian food from around the world, and whenever we want asian, we go here.
the china buffet and drive through place in jacksonville are both crap (i mean double triple crap) compared to this place. we tried each, and both were really dry and greasy. the buffet place food was always old. love changthai& asian cuisine!!!

bestthaiin central ar!. bestthairestaurant in central arkansas! i’ve eatenthaifood for 20+ years; been to severalthairestaurants. the food at chang's is fresh and authentic. some of my favs at chang’s are the red curry, panang curry, pad prik, pad thai, yum talay, and the pad kaprow, and so much more. please don’t let the faded carpet keep you from visiting this diamond in the rough. you will not regret it!! the staff is friendly and very informative if you are not familiar withthaifood.

curry not very spicy or flavorful.thaibasil pretty good. however, they need to clean everything. gross !! d not sure i can go back !

liked the food but. it was a very dirty place.

marginal at best. having grown up out of state i miss the variety of restaurants that los angles has. when i tried the bangkokthai(in the river market) in the river market i was so happy to havethaiagain. then when i found chang thai, located only a mile from my home, i was thrilled. i was looking forward to trying this restaurant so much i went twice, in order to give it another shot after a disappointing first visit. unfortunately i was disappointed both time. while i did think the food was marginal, the quantity and quality is lacking. i felt that it seemed like the food was made using only the cheapest ingredients, and there was more rice than anything. while the service was fine, i don't plan on eating here again. like i have read elsewhere in reviews of this place, it dose remind me of a cheap chinese restaurant.

thank god we have thai. living in sherwood, there are hardly any places to eat besides commercialized chains. while the food can sometimes be out of stock, the food makes up for it when you can get it. the buffet is actually better than what everyone is making it out to be and the items are the same that they serve on the menu, but it's obvious they are trying to cater to the sad palates of the town. the sour beef salad, glass noodles, and the wonderful sesame balls are the best items out there. when ordering off the menu, keep in mind they are once again attempt to assuage the people in the town and you need to order spice level of 8 or 9 if you actually expect it to be spicy. the chefs have met all special requests that i have asked of them and an order of padthaiwith squid and beef is always a great meal to get togo. i'm thankful someone has come in and offered us somethaitaste so we don't have to travel all the way to little rock or jacksonville.

i can not express how much i love this place! the food is fantastic and the people that work there are always friendly and helpful. my favorite is a clichéthaidish, chicken pai thai, and it wil make your mouth water from just the amazing aroma it puts off!
a lot of people complain about how poorly decorated it is, but that won't even be a second thought to someone once you taste the food! go try it!

enjoyed. ordered takeout to bring to my grandma and sister. was a bit worried since i've never had anything from them before. had egg roles, steamed gyoza,thaifried rice w/chicken, green curry, and pad kee mow. there was plenty on food and i was pleasantly surprised with quality of food. the gyoza was splendid to start off with, enjoyed them plain. was not sure what to expect with the pad kee mow but i liked it. it didn't jump out with flavor, they blended together wonderfully. the fried rice had the texture of being fried. you can't find that in too many places, no benihana but good enough. the star of the meal was the curry. the chicken was perfect with the bamboo and coconut milk was just perfect.
will be going back.

ate there for the first time tonight. food was great. excellent service. maybe the best spring rolls and padthaii've ever had. i will definitely go back!!!

what has happened?? everything was so not tasty tonight on the buffet! where did all those greatthaiflavors go??? too bad...

big fish. we went to chang's the other night just to have the big fish! i do not even know the name of the dish...just told the server we wanted the 'big fish' because i had seen a couple eat this dish on a previous visit. it was a teeny tiny tad not big enough for me and #3, but we did share and had egg drop soup as well. maybe we will order two the next time we eat here. nice meal...great service. food is always delicious!

must try, great food. this is my favorite restaurant, we have tried both the menu and the buffet. the shrimp padthaiis my favorite dish and my husband loves the big fish (not sure of thethainame), also off the buffet the beefthaisalad and the shrimp and vegetables are great. if you are unsure of what you want or how hot to get your food ask the server she is more than happy to give you some great advice. when we started eating there we knew nothing aboutthaifood and she has helped us by explaining the menu and levels of spice. you don't have to worry about your drink ever being empty she will keep you in refills. great food, excellent service.
