The House of Chang Thai — Restaurant in North Island

It's probably a bit late since my visit but still thought It was important to share my experience. Went there on a busy night by myself. There were only two people working at front. Stood there for more than 15 minutes waiting to be seated and other people were queuing up behind me for the same. Waiting staff was looking at us and then looking away without feeling the need to greet or seat us. Finally, a lady seated me on a table and gave me the menu. I sat there for more than 20 minutes trying to ask for water or probably be noticed, but no one was paying attention.

It was a disappointing experience at the least by our birthday group outing. We shall not be back and will not...

19/3/22. Can honestly say that this is the worst Thai food that I have ever eaten. The satay sauce was devoid of taste. The chicken in the satay and the main dish was so overcooked it was inedible. Grey looking. Like it had been reheated in the microwave. Supposed to be a sizzle plate dish. No colour on anything. I bit of watery soy sauce at the bottom of the dish. Also, nearly ninety dollars for two starters and mains, we did not have drinks. I've eaten here in 2019 and 2017. Was fantastic then. Must have changed management. Wait staff polite, but no interest in wether we enjoyed our food or not. Given it one star. Would like to...
