The food is conventional but good Italian fair. The staff generally stay on the right side of friendly, and birthday tables are usually given a raucous 15 seconds of fame.

The pizza is better than the pasta. Prices are standard.

Ideal for one of those 'don't think too hard' meals out, especially with the family.The food is conventional but good Italian fair. The staff generally stay on the right side of friendly, and birthday tables are usually given a raucous 15 seconds of fame.

the food and the service was just ok. It was average from the beginning to the end. The food was fresh, crispy but not very tasty. The service was of average quality and the staff was friendly. I may go here again and will reccommend others to visit this restaurant if they dont have any better option.the food and the service was just ok. It was average from the beginning to the end.

I am an experienced enthusiastic lover of quality Thai food!!
Our group of five spanned an age range of 50 years yet, so good was the food at Chang Thai,everyone thoroughly enjoyed every dish that we had ordered.

My only regret is that I live about twenty stops away on the dreaded Northern Line, otherwise I would become a regular.

A winner.I am an experienced enthusiastic lover of quality Thai food!!

This little cafe, with bench seating, is a South Wimbledon favourite of ours. Its menu is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese rice and noodle dishes served in generous portions by young and pleasant staff. Prices are very reasonable (eg £5 or £6 for a groaning plateful of chicken and vegetables with black bean sauce) and it's a great place for hungry youngsters on a limited budget. Only problem is that service is so speedy and the turnover so fast that your visit is more likely to last forty minutes than a whole evening!

We find this a welcome change from other Wimbledon restaurants and a pleasant place for some tasty Lebanese food. It's small and unpretentious with friendly staff who remember you. Our favourite food there is a selection of starters and small dishes which we prefer to the main (slightly plain) meat dishes. They often play Lebanese music on CD which helps to blot out the rather bleak urban view from the window.

The decor is modern and tasteful, not sure why there is a wooden well in the front though.

Service is very good, except for the one lady who came out and could obviously not speak a word of English. Not helpful when you are ordering drinks...

We had a starter of a vegetable spring roll each, and they brought some shoots and cucumber pieces for us too. This was very nice.

Lance had the crispy duck and I had chilli king prawns. We both ordered some noodles with bean sprouts.

My king prawns had no chilli taste AT ALL (and the menu said it was hot - 2 chilli signs next to it), they came in this very thick garlicy sauce that was quite gross actually (look at the photos). I managed to eat 4 and then could stomach no more. I usually love seafood, but the sauce put me off it totally. I filled up on the noodles.

Lance left quite a bit of the duck too. It was okay, nothing special. It was brought to him cold too. We left feeling unsated and hungry as we had left so much behind.

The place did not have that much ambiance to be honest, they played this funny music box music too, we felt flat there, and would not go again.
