It was a little hard to find, so my friend arrived late, but we had a great time. The appetizers are small, bite sized for sure. The fried egg rolls have a potato-y taste, the fritters were the best of the ones we tried. I had the Chicken Massaman Curry with the potatoes and I ordered brown rice with it. My food was amazing! I think my friend enjoyed hers but not as much as I enjoyed mine. She ordered the Shrimp Basil with vegetables. Which is why I am rating this a 4, but my experience was a 5. I took her leftovers home and I agree, they were a 4/5, not as great as my dish. We will definitely go back. Great options for people who don’t eat red meat.

I took my sister to Chai Yo for her birthday dinner, and it exceeded our expectations. This restaurant has been on her radar for a while and I had to make it happen. First off, the drinks were spectacular! We both had 2 Thai Me Downs, and it was SUPERB! All of the food was good and the perfect portion. My favorite dish was the Crab Fried Rice OMG. We will definitely be back! They are also open for Christmas Eve 2020 so make a reservation to enjoy this experience. From the food, to the oh so cute uniform pants that I want a pair of from Thailand, you wouldn’t want to miss experience.

Chai Yo Is a bit difficult to locate behind the former Seasons52, but so worth the effort. Everything was over the top delicious and beautifully presented. Prices were in line with Buckhead.
Kanom Jeeb—- Steamed chicken and shrimp dumplings with galangal, fried garlic and soy chili sauce. The tiny pepper on each one is Super hot, but easy to remove if needed.
Plah Pla Meuk-Marinated octopus in lime juice tossed with roasted chili paste, lemongrass, kaffir lime, shallots, cilantro, over bibb lettuce. KILLER!
Thod Mun Kai -Fried chicken and shrimp fritter, corn, red curry & kaffir lime with cucumber, onion, crushed peanuts with sweet chili sauce
Entree: Khew Wan Talay -Seared sea scallops with green curry, crispy Brussel sprouts, eggplant, green beans, and jasmine rice. So delicious that we will order extra sauce “to go” on our next visit.
-We never order dessert, but am very glad we broke our rule to try the coconut cake. Light night so very divine.
-Bartender Linda was wonderful...attentive without being intrusive and very personable.
Can’t wait to return!

The decor at Chai-Yo is really nice. The staff is super friendly and welcoming and it's great for a special occasion. However, the food does not live up to the presentation. The drunken noodles were super hard, and honestly was not that good. MY brother thought the lamb chops were just alright and they told my best friend that they could make the crab fried rice entree-sized. However, it was literally the same size as the side order when those who got it as a side poured it out of the bowl. The rest of the dishes we got were just okay as well. I won't be going back to be honest.
Great service and food. We enjoyed our evening and got to redeem our anniversary coupon :)

Last night we ordered “pork belly”, a new entree for us and it was very good, crispy and very tasty. Chai Yo always has an entree that surprises you and brings a variety of tastes and flavors. We continue to have the octopus and the chilean sea bass that are always exceptional.

Enough portions to share and the food tasted amazing. I knew I was getting the outdoor seating with a risk of food getting cold, but the service was great!
Everyone wore masks the right way. (Not with their nose popping out)
Will dine again!

Recently went to Chai Yo to celebrate my Husband's birthday. We have not eaten out at a restaurant since February, so I was looking for somewhere with outdoor seating. I was very impressed on how they are handling Covid. They checked our temps before seating us, we had to scan a QR code to look at the menu, and all staff were wearing masks, above there nose. They don't have many outdoor tables, but that was perfect for us! We were all well spaced apart. Now our service was absolutely amazing, I wish I could remember his name, maybe Dong? He was very attentive and gave great recommendations. Then finally the food.....ahhh, the delicious food! We are big Thai cuisine fans and this is on a whole other echelon of flavors and quality. Even our kids commented on how yummy everything was and asked to come back. We will definitely be back but it was a hefty bill for a family of 4 and only one glass of wine. But overall it was worth it for a special occasion! Thanks for an amazing experience and dinner!

Loved Chai Yo! The outdoor/patio set up is perfect for socially distanced dining. The service was incredibly slow, but our server was very nice and personable.

We sat outside to hear the music. Overall the food and service was very good. Heaters are needed for fall because it was a bit chilly and windy Saturday night.
