Chang Noi

We had heard good things about this place so we decided to order takeout one night. We ordered two meals. We asked that the spice level be 0. When we received our meals there was not enough to feed even one of us. The noodles were very dry and the spice was in my opinion a level 5 easily. We could not eat the food and even if we did we would still have been very hungry. We called the restaurant as we were upset that our order was not only over spiced but severly overpriced for what we received. We paid $ 70 for a meal that didn’t not even feed one of us. The manager after much argument stated that the best he could do would be to give us $ 2 off the next meal. HA What next meal. Never again will we go or order from this establishment. What a disgrace.

It’s extremely disappointing when you see a place with high reviews and you can’t even justify giving them half the stars of what they have. I ordered takeout with my roommate. Going there to pickup the food, the atmosphere seemed alright and the person at the register seemed friendly. However when we got our meals we were disappointed. I had ordered a spicy pad Thai and my roommate had ordered a medium pad su. Over the phone the person taking my order had asked if I’ve ever eaten there and when I said I hadn’t suggested I lower the level of spice (I said ⁷⁄₁₀) if I wasn’t sure. When I actually had my meal, there was barely a hint of spice. The meal was incredibly dry. The noodle was definitely over cooked. This was the case in both the pad su and the pad Thai. The portion size was also lacking and we both still felt hungry. For $ 12 on takeout, at least if it wasn’t a delicious meal we should have been satisfied but weren’t. Perhaps the cook had an off day or sitting in would be better but I wouldn’t be tempted to try this place again.

Great service. Reasonable prices. Food was flavourful even at the hottest level. I recommend it without qualification.

This is my family’s favourite place for Thai in the city. We’ve gone here many times and never been disappointed. I absolutely love the Authentic Pad Thai. it’s the best I’ve had despite the fact that I now live in Toronto and take my Pad Thai very seriously.

Love this place. yummy and great service… great price point… parking can be a issue. so if it’s raining take a unbrella… awesome soups to start your meal. Everything is always fresh and served hot.

The quote «Don’t judge a book by its cover» truly applies at this restaurant. A true diamond in the rough. From the outside it may look a little worn down but from the moment you walk in you are greeted with friendly faces awaiting to seat you. The décor is very eclectic but I think it gives this gem character. The menu is filled with a variety of appetizers, soups, noodles, curries, entrées, and desserts. I currently work in NOTL and unfortunately the only Thai restaurant in sight has a small menu & high prices. I am proud to say I have been here THREE times and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit.
My last visit I ordered:
— Singha Beer
— Deep Fried Spring Rolls
— Tom Kha Gai (Chicken Coconut Soup)
— Yellow Chicken Curry (Medium Spicy) with Jasmine Rice.
All which tasted INCREDIBLE! Beware of the spice level of your food. Medium is pretty spicy so I suggest getting less than you think — you can always add more but you can take away the spice!
The ONLY CON I have about this place is that the service isn’t fast enough. Either the kitchen is under staffed or the servers aren’t fast enough. The 2^nd time I visited I waited 45 minutes for the food, mind you, every time we’ve gone the restaurant is usually full — way too slow but we always come back because THE FOOD IS WORTH the drive out there.
When you leave they are happy that you came and there are milk chocolates and pens to take home with you!
CHECK THEM OUT! You won’t be disappointed with the food! I’ve gone 3 times and I LOVE it every time :)

I was at Chang Noi for the first time last night and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve been to many of our local Thai restaurants in the Niagara Region and Chang Noi was by far the cleanest and the staff was very welcoming.

My boyfriend and I went for the first time and were very, very impressed. He got the pad Thai (the cheapest of the 3 pad Thai options), and I got the $ 25 special which came with an appetizer, soup, entrée, and dessert. The spring rolls were amazing and came with a delicious sweet chili sauce. Coconut soup with chicken was good, but too sweet for me. For my entrée I got the grilled beef and OMG was it ever delicious. I didn’t eat it all so I would have room for dessert but ended up opening the box as soon as I got home to finish it because I just couldn’t wait. Dessert was mango ice cream with sticky rice, yuuuum. My roommate who was in Thailand on a four month exchange said everything we ate looked just like what she ate there.
Servers were very nice, and despite looking pretty busy our food came out impressively quick. Highly recommend!

Very authentic thai food. I have taken friends there who said afterwards that it is their new favorite restaurant. By far the best Thai restaurant in the city. Toronto quality food. I’ve had 10 different items, all of which were good.

Not really a fan. The first time I ate here, I ordered the same dishes that I would get from other Thai restaurants. I felt the take out portions were a little small for the price that I was paying.
I tried the food again a couple months later ordering the same thing, and then sampling some of the various foods my friends ordered, but nothing seemed like it was worth the effort.
Waiting in the restaurant for my orders I can tell you that the place looks amazing. The décor suits the ethnic theme.
I will go back one more time for eat in to see if that changes anything.

Authentic Thai cuisine at its finest, probably one of the best in the southern Ontario region!
I would honestly say that the restaurant is one of the cleanest and tidy that I have ever seen, while the environment itself is also very comfy, as the restaurant is situated in a very remote location.
We tried to be methodical with our choice of food so it wouldn’t coincide too much with our familiarity with Chinese food, but we still ended up choosing the deep fried calamari and spring rolls for appetizers. For the main, we went with everyone’s recommendation of the authentic Pad Thai and cashew nut chicken. They were flavourful and the presentation was lovely.
I will definitely be back to try the curries!

I was in NOTL for the Shaw Festival, but staying in St. Catherine’s and looking for dinner on a Saturday night. The options seemed… limited shall we say. Came across this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. SO glad I did! Came in a party of 2 in the middle of the dinner rush with no resos and the place was packed. However, they were really accommodating and made room for us on the small patio. (It smelled so good, we were gonna get take out if they couldn’t seat us!).
Definitely go for the signature pad thai with the thin blanket of egg on top. Delicious! No fake orange-​y/​red colour and really fresh ingredients. We also got the red curry chicken which was very coconut-​y and rich. For a starter, we shared the mango salad — always a classic. The food was very authentic and that extended to the spice level. Their scale goes from 1 – 5 and we were gonna get 4, but asked our server and she recommended medium (3) and gave us additional chili peppers on the side to adjust the spice. I can handle a good amount of spice, and the ³⁄₅ level was really good! This is not one of those Thai places that waters down their spice level for Westerners!
Service was prompt and attentive. Prices are quite reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. They have a set menu option for ~$ 25/​pp including salad, soup, a main, and dessert. But it sounded like a bit too much food. As it was, 2 of us shared the salad and 2 mains and ended up having a lot of leftovers.
This was such a pleasant surprise and I would definitely come back if I were passing through the area again (plus, it’s near the highway so very easy to get to).

As a frequent traveler between Niagara region and Toronto — Chang Noi is well situated along QEW making it a breeze to stop for lunch /​dinner on our way for a thai food.
I made stops previously at Chang Noi and would gladly provide a four stars to five stars rating due to its excellent and genuine Thai cooking and excellent service — however my recent experience today has left somewhat a different impression.
We stopped tonight for regular dinner — service was brisk and food was excellent usual — however, we encountered something unusual on our food (hair) and the service manager was alerted immediately. The service manager showed a disbelief and had to ask us twice where we found the hair (and we responded as we’re plating them) — and also had to pull the hair right in front of us. I found this a little odd, not respectful and disappointing for any restaurant to do this infront of their customer. The good news is that our food was promptly replaced.
In all — it’s a good thai restaurant (probably one of the better ones in the area) however I’ll probably won’t be visiting the restaurant after my recent experience.

Started with a refreshing Thai beer, Singha. Wonderful food. Very fresh, expertly prepared and presented. The coconut chicken soup was very flavorful. Service was very good, very polite without being intrusive.

Chang Noi is true authentic fresh and delicious Thai food. The apple salad will change everything you ever knew about apples and how amazing they could be, the fresh spring rolls are to die for, the pad thai will make you never eat the crappy excuse for «pad thai» anywhere else again, and the fried spring rolls are nothing like the freezer burnt deep fried mummy parts served at other North Americanized Asian restaurants. This is real Thai food and it is fresh and delicious!

This place has BY FAR the best Thai food I have ever tasted. Clean, wait staff great, Totally impressed. Have been to many Thai restaurants and this one beats them all. Great presentation of the food. Lemon pork and Drunkin noodles to die for.

I was so impressed by this restaurant that I’m almost hesitant to share it. Had the 3 course meal for $ 25, total steal… fresh mango salad to start (huge portion) just the right mix of sweet, tangy, fresh, real coconut soup to follow, not watered down coconut broth, the Thai marinated grilled beef was perfect. Not overly sauced very fresh and the pickled slaw on the side was the perfect fresh accompaniment. To finish sticky coconut rice pudding and REAL coconut ice-​cream. For once a Thai restaurant with a decent wine list. Great décor, more upscale than I expected and trendy. Fantastic wait staff. I can’t say enough about Chang Noi other than I’d eat there every day if I could. Chang Noi DON“T CHANGE ANYTHING!!! Oh and word of advice try the papya salad tooo. knock your socks off.

I’ve been to a number local Thai food establishments around the niagara region. I would rate this very similarly to other offerings around St. Catharine’s. Service was good and food was descent. May go back again
