In the Thai language, Chang means elephant—an animal that continues to mean a great deal to the Thai people and remains an integral part of the Thai culture. Elephants are greatly respected for their abilities and for their loyalty. At Chang, we strive to represent the virtues of the elephant, friendliness and loyalty, in the restaurant and in each dish.

Chang Blends the Best of the Traditional with the Best of the Contemporary.

The characteristics of Thai food consist of a unique balance of five basic flavors - sweet, sour, bitter, salty and, of course, the spicy pepper. Many people cite the hot, fiery peppers as the most distinctive flavor of Thai food; however, it is a subtle blend of spices that marks a gifted Thai chef. While it is true that Thai natives typically prefer spicy foods, milder blends of spices can be created without sacrificing the delicate balance of unique Thai flavor. Our goal is to create the ideal Thai meal: a harmonious blend of the spicy, the subtle, the sweet and the sour that is meant to be equally satisfying to eye, nose and palate.
