Chang Thai Durango

We just enjoyed an excellent lunch, and dining experience. We had two curries and tried the samosas out of curiosity. The portions were generous and flavorful. We went for a late lunch, but the dining area was still full and take-out orders were flowing. The owner was friendly and told us in advance it was an unusually busy time. It was worth the short wait. We are looking forward to trying other dishes.

I ordered for pick up. We had the spring rolls, fried rice, Coconut soup and steamed veggies. Everything was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed the soup; the flavor was spot on! I showed up a bit early and the owner was friendly and served me a glass of water at the bar. Great customer service, and great experience overall. We will definitely come back!

I am excited that these folks now have a real place to call home. I’ve eaten at all their various locations. I think the quality is quite good. On day 2 in the new location, the place was hopping so they were still getting their footing so lots of forgiveness for that. I ordered pad Thai, kind of a benchmark dish for a Thai restaurant. After a lengthy wait of over 30 minutes (I did not call in the order and knew there was a chance I’d be waiting) I got my piping hot to-go order. Don’t get me wrong, I want them to succeed and I want to support local restaurants, but…$20 w/tip for an order of noodles is crazy. The noodles had a wisp of sauce but were fairly dry. There was tofu, 3 bites of egg and a couple slivers of green onion…not a peanut or pea, piece of broccoli to be found. The portion was enough for two meals really but I’m sorry, that’s too much money if you have to bring your own verges. This has been my experience several times, so I don’t think it was an off night. I expect the owner will be defensive based on other responses to reviews, but I hope they listen to constructive criticism so they can thrive and succeed.

Has always been one of our favorite places to get Thai food in Durango. Quality has been consistent with our several dozen orders over the past few years. Always good communication about pick-up times. Its surprising people leave negative reviews due to “delayed” orders. I can imagine how difficult it is operating a restaurant these days and honestly the quality of food has always been worth the occasional few minute wait upon pick-up. Not at all a big deal…..
