Chang Thai Cuisine in Powys

Facility is basic. Service is good. Food is excellent.

Spent a pleasant early evening here. Both meals fine. Friendly staff and other customers seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Delicious food, great drinks and very prompt service.

We always come here. Last year it was quite poor for some reason, went again on the 12/9/24. Wow it was amazing like it used to be. Will be back soon

Delicious food, attentive and pleasant staff, and a very nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Fabulous food. Great gluten free menu.

We’ve got a caravan in Llangorse and this was our first visit here. All I can say is wow! Food is absolutely incredible! Dishes are so tasty and full of flavour. We were a group of 5 and there’s usually a few more of us. We will most definitely be back soon! Highly recommend and it’s a strong 5/5 from us all. We all thoroughly enjoyed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best tasting pad thai of my life. I would go back to Wales just for the Pad Thai. The service was also great. The restaurant was kind to let us in early before their regular opening time for dinner. We asked for spicy and they customised the order accordingly. The soup was also amazing. The only challenge was that it was Cash Only but rest all good

This was a wonderful place to eat. The food was amazing and good service. Only con is their washroom, not very well looked after.

Great restaurant, with a lovely friendly and kind owner. Tasty halal food for a good price! Definitely recommend!

Tasty and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Would come again.

Weird animosity from inattentive staff - regrettable.

Great Thai restaurant. We ate here twice whilst we were staying in Brecon and were impressed with the quality of the food on both occasions. Everything tasted exceeding fresh and the flavours were perfectly balanced so you could taste every part of the dishes. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai in the centre of Brecon then this is your spot. We loved the Pad Thai and Tom Yam Gai 🥣 although the Pad Kee Mau did not quite hit the spot. The staff are extremely welcoming. They were so kind when I asked to get my Pad Thai replaced with a less spicier version. Slightly on the expensive side. Note - They only accept cash.

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a holiday in Brecon - exceeded expectations. Food was delicious and nicely presented, the service was professional and quick. Staff were very accommodating for me to dine here with a food allergy.

So looking forward to the Crying tiger but at £17.50 a portion it was very disappointing. Steak was really tough and although they cooked another one it was equally as tough. Very expensive meal for a special o casion but it will be Zeera next time for sure.

First time and last time at this restaurant .. Very disappointing meal . Waiter didn’t ask how our meal was , the staff were not attentive . Pad Thai prawn had no texture or flavour at all , it was greasy , sticky and obviously overcooked . The prawns were rubbery and tasteless . This is a favourite meal of mine and Thai food is my choice of cuisine . The only nice thing on the plate were the decorative carrots . 🙈

Excellent food and very friendly staff. I would thoroughly recommend them. 👍

Went here for dinner with my partner. We ordered a sharing starter and two of the same stir fries for mains. Over an hour after ordering our mains still hadn't came and we then saw a table of about 10 people who arrived after we had finished our starters get their main meals. I asked where our food was and was rudly told your next as the waiter quickly walked away. After about 5 more mins I went to ask again as we had finished our drinks and were also now too hungry to enjoy the food. The waiter said it was coming. I asked to just pay for what we had had already and cancel the mains. He rudly said it was a human error and not their fault so we should stay. They then tried to get me to get the food to go. When I refused they told the chef not to start our food. So even by then they hadn't started cooking it. I would not recommend. A simple apology would have sufficed and we would have stayed. Wouldn't recommend.

We spent over an hour waiting for our overpriced food. Won't be visiting again.

Absolutely fabulous. Freshly made in their kitchen. I would certainly return. Really delicious.

Horrible food. Service was ok. Ambience was ok too. On starters: the chicken satay came swamped in an unpleasant curry flavoured supposed peanut sauce. As for the chicken it didn’t appear to have been grilled; it was pale and chewy. The fish cakes however were very good and presented well so clearly they know how to present food they just forget with the chicken satay! On the mains: the pad Thai was greasy and bland. The vegetable stir fry was kind of soupy, greasy, slimy with pale looking chewy prawns. Save your money and your palate and don’t bother. I certainly wished I hadn’t!

I recently dined at this restaurant and unfortunately, my experience left me disappointed. Despite the promising menu, my order of sweet and sour chicken balls and pad Thai failed to meet expectations. The sweet and sour chicken balls were a letdown with very small pieces of chicken, overshadowed by excessive batter. The sweet and sour sauce and vegetables was nice. Equally disappointing was the pad Thai, which fell short on flavor. The dish lacked the aromatic spices and depth that are characteristic of authentic Thai cuisine. It tasted bland and lacked the complexity that makes pad Thai a beloved dish. Restaurant atmosphere was pleasant and the service was adequate. This restaurant is very expensive.

The varied selection of Thai food is out of this world… so delicious; generous portions and beautifully presented with intricately carved, edible floral decorations. Thank you! - A lovely end to a family birthday celebration. Highly recommended; and our heartfelt appreciation for feeding us later, during the evening. See you next time we are passing through Brecon.

Always very good and a regular haunt!

Tried for the first time on a Friday evening. It was reasonably quiet. The staff were all pleasant. The surroundings are nothing flash but comfortable for an evening in casual clothing. The portions were generous and the food was flavoursome enough. Would I eat there again yes. Would I go out of my way to go back, probably not. Overall a reasonable meal out at a average price. 2 currys, 1 rice, 2 starters 3 drinks @ £73

Fantastic food and great staff. Highly recommend.

Hadn’t been here for a while after a sub-standard experience post pandemic, we thought we’d try our first takeaway. Poor experience. My partner asked twice for the 10% discount over the phone (bearing in mind it’s only half the VAT they’re giving you back), I went to collect and they tried to charge me full price. The curry had large lumps of raw egg white in, only four prawns in the prawn rice and bless em, they’re scooping food out of the cartons so you don’t get a full portion either (photo). Go to one of the two good Indians we have, or Ghurkha Corner instead. £38 for two curries and rice, not worth the money (cash only too).

Good food right in the middle of Brecon town centre. Good service and excellent quality of food. Prices are good for Brecon. Nicely decorated. This is now our regular dining place. Food continues to be excellent and authentic Thai cuisine with great service. Recommended but book a table as it gets busy during peak times. Return customers. Good tasty food again. No complaints.

Best Thai I've had, great service welcoming hosts, and reasonably priced, 100% i will be back.

Amazing food and such lovely people. Thank you 😊

Really good quality food even as a takeout.

Came here for friends birthday (party of 5) Mentioned it was Owen’s birthday. Food & service was as always superb, nothing was too much trouble. Lots of places to eat where we live but we’d rather travel the 40mins to Chang’s . When we asked for the bill out came a miniature birthday cake for Owen. delivered with candles 👏👏👏🎂 Amazing, above & beyond Thanks you x Desri, Steve & family

Gorgeous penang curry & Kee Mao noodles. Quick food service!

Had a delicious birthday meal. Quick service, superb food, always dependable and good service.

Booked a table, glad as it was totally rammed....sore tables lasted seconds as never-ending stream of people filling the restaurant up. Food was very good, quite authentic and yes I spent a lot of time in Thailand many years ago. Tasty dishes, soups, curries etc. Definitely on my list to return...it's about 30 minutes drive

Cannot recommend this place enough, fantastic food with generous portions and very friendly staff

This is a very good, authentic Thai restaurant. Really enjoyed the food and were child friendly with good children's food options. Fresh and tasty food.

Absolutely shocking food and service. I wouldn’t even feed it to me dog! Staff were not concerned with the mistakes with the food. No resolution was given for the mistakes and paid silly money for a meal which was inedible. Google wouldn’t let me give 0 start….. Definitely will not be returning and will advise any people looking at this place to RUN ELSEWHERE!

Having enjoyed Thai food in many different location is was disappointing to be served underwhelming average food! Unfortunately we will not be visiting again. The service however was good.

Delicious food. Very attentive and polite service. Comfortable seating. Clean toilets.

A great Thai food restaurant in a beautiful setting. Everything was perfect.

Fast takeaway service, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely food very friendly customer service. Glad we booked as it’s a popular place to go. There was a great choice for all diets.

Amazing food and service. The seabass in plum sauce was the best thing I has in a while. Delicious! A little pricy and the mains don’t even come with rice.

Had an absolutely delicious meal tonight. The dishes were piping hot, beautifully cooked and presented. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

Excellent food beautifully prepared and presented in true thai style, The Chang has a good relaxed comfortable atmosphere about it as well as being clean and stylish, wonderful staff The best thai food i have ever eaten in the uk.

Heard so much about this Thai restaurant, so we gave it a whirl, well... Staff are very nice, food is ok but nothing special, starter for two is portion poor, one each of items and for £17 is not value for money, main meals again were ok but portion size was left wanting for more, noodles side dish at £7-50 was a joke ,along with very expensive beers, we paid and left very disappointed, then straight to the chippy for a fill up , be aware it's cash only also. That's got its own story. Sorry but there we have it.

Nothing special about the food here, as I think most of their business is take-out. Staff was fine, but again seemed more focused on take-out customers. Would go elsewhere if we’re back in the area.

As somebody who eats out regularly, I can honestly say I have never eaten such disgusting, low quality, frozen food from a restaurant/takeaway. We paid top prices, expecting something edible, but not a single dish was good. Crispy squid- frozen breaded crap. Crispy chilli beef- frozen tasteless, sauce- less junk. Chow mein- no flavour whatsoever with the worst inedible beef and guess what, awful frozen veg. Spring rolls- £6 for 3 of the worst spring rolls (I didn’t realise you could go wrong with spring rolls!). Chicken balls- 100% frozen, tiny hard lump of chicken in stale dry batter with a sauce that tasted of vinegar. I am not one to hold grudges or write scathing reviews, but at £45 for this takeaway, I am really pissed off!! If it was just mediocre I wouldn’t have bothered writing this, but it was so bad it ended up in the bin. The restaurant was full and I watched them serve the same food that we ate. As a tourist here, I would be so shocked if the locals used this place, the only thing that keeps them going I imagine is a lack of competition.

If you are in beakon south Wales and looking for Chinese and Thai go for this restaurant.owner is a Bangladeshi brother Mr Suman.. he is gem of a person and owner.. loved the food and the hospitality is 7 star... Well done Mr Suman ..wish you all success in future

An excellent meal last night. Second visit and will definitely go again! Great service to top it off!

On a visit to Brecon we ate here one night. The place is done out nicely and the staff are friendly and helpful. It was quite full on a Thursday night but we did not need to book.The food was very nice. I had chicken parcels to start which were deep fried and served with sweet chilli sauce. They were served very hot and were quite tasty. For mains I had PAD NAM PRIK PAO (Stir fried chilli paste) made with chicken and served with Jasmin rice. It was nice and tasty but disappointingly lacking in heat, I thought being made with chilli paste and having 2 red chillis next to it on the menu it would have been quite warm. Next time I would ask the waiter about each dish. It was also a very disappointingly small helping, not worth the money. I also tried the Red Curry which was hot, despite the same 2 red chilli icon on the menu and very nice; and the Pad Thai which was an interesting, different and nice flavour.

Great food and pleasant service. Masaman curry was exceptional.

Food delicious although a bit pricey but worth it. The only thing we did not like was them bringing the bill to us before we even asked for it. Felt like they wanted the table as they were busy. We booked again for the Monday evening but given their hastiness in giving us the bill we did not visit again. Shame this happened, it was mentioned to the Manager but he did not seem to care.

A very busy Saturday night Excellent service, lovely fresh authentic food. Well worth a visit you will not be disappointed.

Very busy Saturday night, Food, Service all excellent. Well worth a visit.

Best Singapore noodles ever! Visited here a year previously, and the Singapore noodles were so good we had to return a year later! Delicious! Thai red curry also very tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and very reasonably priced too!

>>> CASH ONLY (March 23) <<< Very decent Thai food, not quite 5 stars but not far off - definitely recommend. One of the better places in Brecon I reckon. I had Prawn Pad Thai and it was very tasty. Nice bit of food art / decoration too, lifted it a little. Would come back here, in fact I have already been back! :-)

Fabulous Thai food, brought back memories from my visit to Thailand. Good service. Reasonable prices for food and drink too. Great night.

Only one front of staff member when we arrived. Surreal experience as the waiter took half our order, broke off to answer the phone, then to seat a group. If we hadn’t ordered drinks already then we’d have left. Starters were fine but no more than that, raw egg in my main. It might be that I was irritated by then, but I’m sure the tables were closer than they’ve been before. Perfectly nice couple next to us, but we couldn’t hear ourselves think with only a few inches between tables. Conversation interspersed with the regular pinging of a microwave from the kitchen. I loved this place, we always visit frequently in our Brecon trips but I doubt we will return.

Great food with great service can't recommend it enough

The food is excellent and really authentic, spice levels are great the only downside is not being able to order everything! always order an extra papaya salad to share as its awesome.

Friendly service very nice green curry and a good price.

Dropped in here on the way home for a late dinner. Staff were excellent and the food even better. A 2 course meal for two, including two starters, three mains to share and two large glasses of red and the whole thing was less than £70. Top quality for no money. Superb.

A little chaotic but to be fair we were a large table. Excellent food

Wie een alternatief voor de zware Britse keuken zoekt, kan hier terecht. Maar van een echt culinaire ervaring is er geen sprake. De porties mogen iets groter zijn, het personeel iets attenter.

The staff were friendly, but the food was disappointing. The pad kee mao appeared to be made with Manischewitz-style egg noodles instead of authentic wide rice noodles and had no Thai flavoring at all - in fact, it was fairly tasteless. Time for some serious...

Visited about 7:30 on a Friday night without a booking. They found us a table, despite how busy it was. Only 2 people working, and they were seemingly very stretched. Took a few minutes to get a drinks order taken, and then had to work...

Good food. Slightly expensive but super tasty

Good food. Annoyingly, there was a laminated sign up on arrival stating that the restaurant was cash only which looked like it had been there a while so I presumed this wasn't due to a one off issue that night. A bit of an inconvenience in this day and age so I had to order and then go to locate a cash machine. The food did however make up for it and was very good, would return.

Very long wait (20mins) for takeaway despite arriving at the time we were told to (the restaurant was busy but would have been nice to have been told about the delay). Then when we got home we had two wrong orders - 64 came with...

First visit to Chang Thai, we both enjoyed the evening, the food was good and the staff friendly. There isn't a option to give 3.5, but that's where I would put this restaurant. Reasonably priced, definitely not in the fine dining arena though. I also...

Must have caught them on a bad night. Arrived to collect a takeaway at the time they specified to pick it up... I waited almost an hour and from where I was standing I could see a lot of food being heated in a microwave. But with food in hand I got home and most of it was good. However, the prawn crackers were really fishy tasty and the chicken satay was stone cold while the rest of the food was hot. The restaurant at the time was packed and pre-booked tables appeared to have been given away, leading to frustrated exchanges between customers and staff, who could barely hear each other. I think the restaurant could benefit from a clear booking system and possibly fewer tables as it felt incredibly crowded.

Service haphazard. Asked 3 times for some water but it never arrived. Food OK

I am surprised by some reviews and confused. We booked a table during their busy evening, on arrival the restaurant was busy. We were greeted and seated in a pleasant position at the back of the restaurant. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was...

Went here after a bad experience at another restaurant in Brecon, where we left early. We were very hungry ;-) Had a seabars for diner, which was presented very nicely and it tasted very well. Only disadvantage: no deserts :-( But worth visiting.

We had a takeaway the other evening and the sweet and sour chicken balls were the worst we have ever been served, ......a minute square of chicken in a ball of raw dough, the outside which may have once been crispy was soaked in an...

The food was fantastic I don't normally eat much rice but I enjoy all the food and I ate twice the amount of rice I would normally eat will definitely go back to this restaurant as all the food was fantastic

Very tasty, quick service, good value

The food here is good. Whether it is authentically Thai or not o don’t know but it’s very tasty. But when I visited last week service was appallingly slow. Our starters were slow coming, our mains slower, and mine arrived 10 minutes after my companions’.

Last minute table booked for 3, Very warm welcome and stunning decor. Wide menu choice and very vegan/vegetarian friendly. Service was excellent and quick, The food was fresh and absolutely gorgeous. I had panang tofu with a vegan platter for starter. The only downside was cash only, hopefully this is temporary but will update when we return at later date. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

Really enjoyed our meal. I dont know why other reviewers are expecting a Thai restaraunt in the UK to be cheap. I would say the prices are about standard for a good Thai restaraunt... very tasty but hot means hot!

Lovely food if not a tad on the expensive side.

We were in Brecon for our anniversary and booked somewhere else but when we sat down and looked at the menu, we weren’t impressed so thought we’d take a chance on the Thai restaurant we’d seen earlier on. We were pleased to see it so...

This is the 4th time we went to the Thai restaurant in Brecon. The experience was once again disappointing. The service is unfriendly unwelcoming and generally poor. The food is average, and overpriced for what it is. Even a mc Donald's makes you feel more...

Delicious food. Very busy so worth booking ahead

Delicious Thai food. Cash only.

Went for my Birthday meal here last night. First thing I’ve done this morning is come straight on here to rave about the service level, and food. We ordered 3 starters, tempura veg, duck pancakes and golden bags. We asked for more of the sweet...

My husband and I visited during our stay outside Brecon. The phone booking was taken in a friendly and efficient way, which always increases customer confidence beforehand! Our server was a lovely lady, who helpfully answered our questions as we ordered, and was attentive whilst...

Beautiful Thai meal..fresh tasty meals enjoyed by 5 of us again ...great quick service and I had a doggie bag for next day too

A fantastic meal with wonderful service the choices on the menu were mouth watering highly recommended

We made a telephone booking on the 23rd Feb' 2022 for a birthday celebration. Arrived at 8.25 for our 8.30 booking. Long story short, at 9.15 nobody had even taken a drinks order, let alone a starter ...despite asking several times. We left at 9.20...

Food was OK. Nothing special took a long time to come out. We were a large party of 13 but some people had eaten there meal before others came out.

Booked a table and the staff were lovely and friendly. Food was extremely tasty and reasonably priced for how much you got on your plate. Well worth the visit but make sure you do book beforehand as they are running on a reduced capacity due...

So we have always either sat in or had a take out and have always really enjoyed the food. The last one we had was a couple of months ago and the food was just ok. We thought maybe it was just a bad day....

We called with a large take away order for an 18th birthday party. We had prewarned the restaurant earlier in the week so they were aware. The order was for food for 10 people and included a set meal for 2 part of which was...

I have had takeaways and sit in meals here since you opened. Up until this evening I have had great food. Don't know if you have changed your chef but this evening's takeaway was disappinting. The noodle dish with chicken I ordered for my daughter...

10% takeaway discount is no longer offered despite it advertised on their website and menu. Two orders incorrect. Requested a change with two orders which weren't made. Was told 1 hour for pickup, still had to wait an extra 15 minutes. Food was poor to average. A disappointing end to our holiday in Brecon.

The food here was outstanding so fragrant and delicious! We had a takeaway, which was honestly the best Thai we have ever had! Highly recommend
