Tucked above a grocery on First Avenue, Chang Thong serves punchy, home-style Thai and Lao plates with generous portions and warm hospitality. Up a flight of stairs lined with fairy lights, diners gather over charcoal-charred ox tongue, slow-simmered duck green curry, and sharp Lao papaya salad. The space skips modern gloss in favor of genuine care, where owner Kelly frequently sends out complimentary snacks or desserts between orders. It works just as well for dinner on the go, wrapping up orders quickly with a ten percent discount when you pick up in person.

- Second-Floor Perch: Perched on the second floor above an Asian supermarket, accessed by a staircase decorated with fairy lights.
