Chang Restaurant & Catering - Grünwald

My last recommendation for Chang was a year ago. In the meantime we visited the restaurant several times and it became everytime better and better. Chang is -concerning the quality of food and preparation- one of the best restaurants I know. And I know a lot !People from all over Munich come to Grünwald to have diner at Chang. So it's highly recommended to make a reservation. Chang is always fully booked.The tuna sashimi is a dream, the curries are excellent, Everything is super fresh and tasty.One of the highlights is the lemongras creme brulé..... exceptional...Ok the restaurant is concerning interiors not on the level of of his cuisine. It's quite narrow and not very cosy. But that doesn't matter...what count's is the quality of food.For me Chang is no.1 not only in Gruenwald but also in Munich!

I have been going to this restaurant on and off for some time including take aways. For me this restaurant has always been overpriced with small portions, a limited and repetitive menu which has seen few changes over time. While soups are good, and a few excellent deserts - the main courses are generally very expensive (read hugely overpriced) and generally mediocre by my judgement (I have lived in Asia and sampled many very good European Asian restaurants). The result of overpricing is that this restaurant has a relatively sniffy clientele, which no doubt attracts certain customers. On our last visit the service (which is generally quite OK) was very rushed as the restaurant attempted to maximum utilisation of it's seating, with each course following almost on the last bite of the previous course (not making for a pleasant evening) and the main course was returned undercooked (no doubt due to the rush and an absence of care). As this was not replaced I was surprised to find this was charged on the bill (demonstrating rather more care over finances than customer satisfaction). This is a popular restaurant in need of some competition in the area to seriously sharpen it's focus. Any Asian restaurateurs looking to make a killing consider this spot. Very disappointing!

Everybody goes to in-restaurants because everybody else goes there. I don't think a lot of people go there just for the food. Not that it's bad, just very mediocre and at luxury prices.The food is really good when they organize privat events,The menu is the same since years and the dishes are not really "asiatic" in material, texture or taste.The outdoor seating is quite nice, indoor it can get very crowded and family friendly. The family next table, that is.If you want asian food, go to the Sushi Lounge which despite its name serves very authentic Vietnamese dishes at unbeatable prices. Alas in an gym room environment.

We we're quite disappointed in the service level and lack of attention to our table. The food arrived on time however one of dishes was cold and the portion small. It was returned (not gladly, however typical German attitude.) Both dinners were well presented and tasted quite good. For us the tables are a bit crowded together. I would recommend trying it out if you must eat in the local area, however don't expect the same levels as the few other upper end Thai restaurants in Munich.

The food is indeed excellent especially the duck curry. All ingredients are best quality and very fresh. The service is very good as well. The only bad part is that it is quite expensive but once in a while it is worth it.
