Went for lunch, service was good and fast. Changmai is BYO which is great. Crispy squid tentacles were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning.

I have tried almost half of the dishes on their menu and I really can’t pick a favourite because they all slap so damn hard!! But if you really can’t pick I’d recommend the crying tiger. The tenderness of the meat combined with the complexity of the sauce goes so hard!!!!!
It definitely stands up and even beats popular Thai restaurants in Brisbane Gold Coast and Melbourne.
If this restaurant ever closes I don’t see a point in coming back to...
