Our movie production team had an incredible experience with Thai Chaiyo during our three-day shoot at a studio in Anaheim, and I can't recommend them enough! They catered delicious Thai cuisine for our 40 crew members, and each day brought a new and exciting dish to the table. Despite having Thai food for three consecutive days, everyone, regardless of their cultural backgrounds, absolutely loved it and never grew tired of the amazing flavors. Thai Chaiyo truly kept "The Thai Interpreter Movie" crew happy and energized through fantastic, authentic dishes. Their Pad Thai was a standout favorite--simply the best we've ever had! Thank you for your outstanding service and mouthwatering food. You made our production days smoother and more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

Reasons why I love choosing Thai Chaiyo : (1) They offer free food delivery - if you're within their zone 1 or zone 2 AND with a minimum of $25 spend. (2) The pricing is very reasonable especially the lunch specials starting @ $11.50. I appreciate the fact that if you choose beef that they do not charge extra. Some Thai places do! (3) Food is here genuinely really good! Pretty much all the items I have ordered for my family and I have been delicious. Very fresh and savory. My parents favs (and mine as well) is the signature Tom Yum Rice Noodle Soup - a classic Thai-style hot and sour soup. Complex, yet comforting for it is bursting with citrusy, spicy, savory and sweet flavors! We also love getting the Garlic & Black Pepper Sauce with Beef and The Bun's fav is the BBQ Chicken. I am a huge curry fan and my favs here are: Massaman, Panang and Green curry. I truly appreciate they do not skimp out on the protein. As for appetizers - we love getting the Thai Rice Cake Chive, The Beef Jerky and the Chicken Wings were surprisingly scrumptious. Just wish for The Beef Jerky - portion was kinda small, perhaps more veggies to accompany it would be nice. I've never dined in before but I've done pick-up for take-out and as well as delivery. Although the interior is small with several tables to sit at, you can feel the hominess and comfortability. The staff are pleasant and friendly. I will definitely be back to try more of their items~ Gotta support the small mom & pop businesses! read more

This is my go to casual Thai spot in OC. I love supporting local mom and pop shops, and this one doesn't disappoint. It seems like this place is family owned. & the food is authentic as I always hear the ladies conversing in Thai in the front of the restaurant. Anyway, The service is pretty good, and the food comes out pretty quickly. My favourites are the duck curry (it's, rich flavourful, and perfectly balanced), the Chicken pad Thai (can't go wrong), And the ginger mushrooms. I haven't tried any of their other offerings as the three I stated above have been consistently excellent. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Thai food and happen to be in the area. read more

Food was great. Got the pork shumai, double stir fried noodle with beef (+$2 usually comes with chicken beef is extra), and my husband got the yellow curry with crispy pork (+$4 extra) Crispy pork was delicious. The beef was not as good, would not recommend. Felt a little tough/chewy. Service was good. Place was super cozy. read more

Ordered online through my corporate lunch catering vendor called Foodja, and they packed the lunch up so nicely for me. I requested extra spicy, and they did oblige with extra Thai pepper flakes! I love how soft and chewy these rice noodles were, it could've been a little spicier, but I understand they didn't wanna overdo it just in case. I would definitely make a visit in person if I'm ever in the area! read more

Thai Chaiyo Tustin - Goldman Sachs 10KSB event hosted by Chien, his great staff, with yummy yummy food! - Thai Near Me - Tustin, California

Met up with some friends for lunch and I was already excited to try this place because I love Thai food. They didn't disappoint. There were so many options to choose from it was hard to decide. Definitely have to come back to try the other plates. And I think we were too excited about the food that we didn't leave room for dessert. For sure I want to try the mango sticky rice next time, that's one of my favorite dishes! My favorites of what we tried were: Yellow Curry. This is one of my go to dishes and I really liked how they made theirs. I had to tell myself, be polite and make sure everyone gets some before you see if you can get seconds! Haha. Chicken Satay with peanut dipping sauce. Normally I half expect chicken to be dry but this one wasn't and the sauce was so good I for sure made a point to get the sauce on each bite! They even cut their tomatoes which is supposed to be a display but obviously edible, into a cute flower shape. The Thai Rice Cake Chive was really good. I didn't know what to expect and actually wasn't really expecting much so I just took a little bit of one to try and then I was like ok let me have the whole piece. Yum. Prik Khing, which is spicy green bean in chili paste with beef. I love making sure I get my veggies in. There's levels of spicy you can choose, and all our dishes came in a mild spice because then everyone can handle the spice level :) The restaurant is in a good sized shopping lot so there's ample parking. And the owner and staff are so friendly! Sometimes restaurants have great food but poor staff so if I go back I just order to go. But this place has great food and great staff! I love taro and they have a taro latte on their menu but unfortunately the time I went it was out. I was sad but they offered another drink and I was hesitant so they brought me out a sample to try. That was very nice of them. I didn't really care for it so I ended up ordering a matcha latte. But I was happy that they made that extra effort to help me find something I would like. read more

Best Thai food! Jennie is the best! I drive all the way from fountain valley just to eat here.

Really solid Thai food. We tried out the usual noodles like pad Thai, pad see ew and crab fried rice. All of them done well. If you forced me to rank them, I would put this place above all the ones in orange (and there are a lot of Thai places in orange). Service was great and the ambience is more homey and intimate. If you want better go to manaao. read more

Ordered their BBQ chicken with other items. Bbq came out with some sort of spicy seasoning but not grilled at all. Told server. He insisted it was bbq. And didn't want to replace order. What a joke. Tasted nasty like microwaved and put some sort of sauce. Rest of the menu was average. You been warned. read more

A hidden gem! Had a random craving for Thai food and was delightfully surprised to find Thai Chaiyo with no wait! The staff was so friendly and gave us great tips on what to order. Portions are shareable so we ordered 4 dishes to share amongst the table. The restaurant was cute with plenty of seating, there was children art posted on the wall and local news. The pad see ew was delicious and our favorite dish! However, don't miss out on mango season. Mango sticky rice was to die for! read more

We were craving some good Thai food in Irvine and saw this place in Tustin and decided to give it a try because of the reviews. The restaurant is relatively small, where you're sitting super close next to the other party. Overall all the food was really sweet and wasn't anything mind blowing or wow factor. The ladies there were nice, but it wouldn't be my first choice! read more

CHAIYO CHICKEN at @thaichaiyotogo is BOMB! It was love at first bite! This chicken is nicely crispy fried to perfection with a sauce full of umami ! It's nice, sweet and tangy. Loved it! Service is amazing. It's small yet warm because of the owner, Maple. She is super sweet and fantastic. She makes any space feel delightful and welcomed. The menu is plentiful with many Thai favorites. I enjoyed Pad Thai, Pad Ke Mao, Pad Se Ew, Thai Chili Chicken, Pineapple Red Curry, Chaiyo Crispy Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, Chicken Satay, Chive Rice Cake, Fish Cake, Coconut Shrimp and much more. Also you gotta try the Thai Tea Sunrise. It's a mix of Thai Tea without the cream with Lemonade! I loved it! read more

Service was great and can't wait to go back. read more

We love Jenny and her team at Thai Chaiyo! It's our go-to for take out, living so close. I always feel extra care is put into the food, and I appreciate how they interact with their customers (not just the "regulars"). Most recently we had panang curry, ped see ew, and satay. All outstanding, and very consistent with what we've come to expect there. There are also some unique menu items we look forward to trying, based on the recommendations of other customers, like their Chaiyo Chicken and spicy catfish. read more

Amazing food, service and ambiance. Came here on a Friday night and while it was busy, we were seated quickly and our food came out really fast. Love that the waiters here are so attentive and super helpful. We ordered the fried fishcake for our appetizer as that was starred on the menu and that did not disappoint. Loved the perfect amount of crisp to chewiness texture and a bit of spice. For the main dishes we got the crab lump fried rice, pad Thai and pad see ew. All of those dishes were flavored wonderfully and the noodle texture was perfect. Just a warning though the noodle dishes were on the sweeter side which I prefer, but I know for others they might want something more savory. read more

The yellow curry. The tom kha here is my favorite of all Thai restaurants. The drunken noodles. My sister and I go here often. Once a week for about 8 weeks straight after we discovered it. My sister is allergic to mango so the owner suggested the mango stock rice with jack fruit. Very tasty suggestion! Love this place. Will be back soon. read more

Great place for takeout! I got pad Thai to go and the portion was so big it lasted two meals. Also got egg rolls -- delicious!! Can't wait to go back and try more menu items read more

The most amazing Thai Food. Delicious, generous portions and warm ambiance. Will definitely come back.

The food here was great, Jenny provided excellent service and the yellow curry was amazing! Very authentic and flavor was great!

Came to Thai Chaiyo the other day and it was a pretty standard experience. The food itself was decent but the service was lacking, so the restaurant was nothing special to me. The food itself was decent. I got the yellow curry and the green basil curry, and enjoyed both. The portion sizes were good for what you're paying for. On the other hand, I also got a mango sticky rice for dessert and was pretty disappointed. The coconut cream was a very watery consistency and the sticky rice itself was hard and cold. The service was slightly disappointing as well. The server barely checked in on our table and had to be flagged down a few times, only for them to cut us off mid-question and assume what he wanted. We had to ask for the same things many times, and it made us feel like a nuisance rather than customers. Parking: Ample parking in the plaza. read more

Was in the mood for Thai food and friend recommended we go to one of her favorites. Got sat towards the back of the restaurant which is quieter than the front (closer to the kitchen). Decided to get a large tom kha to fight the cold weather with shrimp as the protein (surprisingly no upcharge!). While they had a tom yum noodle soup, there wasn't an option to do the same for the Tom kha so I just ordered that with a side of steamed noodles. There were plenty of shrimp and the noodles made the soup a full meal. I also tried a spoon of my friend's green curry and found it super flavorful. Service was quick and easy, we even placed a to-go order of their mango sticky rice. Prices not too bad for what some places are charging for the same thing, hope to come back one day! read more

Showed up for lunch with my family of 6 at the time they opened (11:30 am). The door was open, as we entered we were told they weren't ready and to give them more time. Hostess proceeded to go outside to the door to see what time it said they opened. They would let us know when they were setup. We proceeded to wait another 20 minutes in the car. Waited, waited, waited, was never informed of anything, lady then sat behind the cash register on her cell phone therefore we left. Food prep isn't the easiest so of course we understand extra time is needed, but there is a severe lack of urgency here especially when your only customers show up to enjoy a meal. Sad to say as I have been here a few times and enjoyed their food previously. read more

DELICIOUS pad see ew! This was a large portion for a great price. It was so tasty that I was certain I was going to eat it all, but I still ended up with leftovers that were delicious even heated up later. The noodles were umami and sweet without being too oily. The fried tofu was cooked perfectly and held onto so much flavor. The thai tea is also delectable, creamy, and sweet. They have other variations of thai tea, which I am interested in trying next time. Finally, the service is amazing. The employees are kind and the food was brought out so fast. The restaurant and the bathroom is very clean. I will certainly be coming back and I highly recommend! read more

Surprised this place has such good reviews, but unfortunately it wasn't the best experience for my friends and I. We got a table and were seated, but it wasn't until 15 minutes later the server came by to take our order (even though we flagged her down earlier). Note that this place is very small and wasn't busy at the time at our visit. We still didn't have any water and utensils at this point too, which we asked for but service was very slow. When they brought out our water, they also spilled it and got on my friend. They didn't offer any napkins so we had to get it our own. When the food came out we still didn't have any utensils so we asked again along with the hot sauce condiments (to which they gave us almost empty). I got a pad see ew and my friends got pad thai and the taste was very mediocre. It had no depth and not much flavor and we were surprised at how this place had such good reviews. Maybe we just went on an off day but the service experience itself turned us off from returning again. read more

The food is the most clean and delicious Thai I have had in OC. I love the service as they always are so personal and on top of their service. I don't want to tell you too much about how amazing it is because I want more room for when I get there! ha! read more

I've been here many times thanks to their vegetarian and vegan options. They are good at understanding what to exclude, like fish sauce and egg. However, a word of caution: the spiciness level here can be a bit unpredictable. What they consider "mild" might be mild one day, but another time, it might set your taste buds on fire. Or ordering two almost identical mild dishes (the only difference being one with veggies and one with tofu) and having one be bright red and the other one not. Precision isn't their strongest suit, especially for to-go orders. I've had my share of non-spicy mix-ups, like receiving white rice instead of the ordered brown. It's usually a minor inconvenience, but worth noting. Despite these hiccups, the highlight is undoubtedly the flavor of their food. Tasty and authentic with signs inside about being recognized for authenticity, the dishes here showcase the essence of Thai cuisine. The pad kee mao is delicious and the ginger mushroom tofu has become a new favorite. I've enjoyed everything I've had here, although others in my party have not always been able to handle the spice. While they might stumble on the finer details, their delicious offerings make up for it. Just be prepared for a potential spice surprise and don't hesitate to double-check your order. read more

This little place was not too busy which was great! Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed our time here. We got Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai and Cream Cheese Wontons! 9/10: Cream Cheese Wontons was great! It came out hot, crunchy, and the filling was so creamy! I do wish it had something fresh like green onions in it but it was still good. I enjoyed the sauce with it. 8/10: My friend ordered the Pad Kee Mao which had a good spice level! Not too spicy but also had a good flavor to it. The noodles were pretty soft and the veggies were cooked well. 8/10 Pad Thai: I had this dish and I believe it does taste more authentic in a way. However there's something missing that I wasn't quite sure what. I did also ask for no green onions for this one which might have played into it. However it was still yummy with lots of peanuts! Also just to add the portions are large! My friend and I could not finish everything so we took it home. Overall, nice place to try! read more

I happen to land at this wonderful Thai restaurant while at this little shopping center. I was immediately greeted when I entered and I felt right at home. There were so many great options and the staff was so helpful in helping me decide. We tried a nice selection of different dishes as we knew we were taking food home for dinner. We had the coconut shrimp, Pad Kee Mao (which I always order at Thai places and this was phenomenal!), the cashew with nuts and onion was tasty, crispy egg noodles with gravy were yummy and so nicely presented at the table with flowers and huge dish to share, and the chaiyo chicken was probably one of my favs as it reminded me of a dish my mom would make! I really wish I lived closer since there's not a lot of great Thai options where I live. I'm not sure if they take reservations but I always go places at off peak hours so I usually don't need them. The inside of the restaurant is comfortable, non intimidating and relaxed. You feel at home and that's what I really like about it! Plenty of parking as well! Can't wait to come back! read more

I thought the food here very authentic. My boyfriend and I go out to dinner on Friday nights and recently we have been looking for new places to try. He found this place (I forgot where) and I'm glad he did because I already want to go back and try their other dishes! Here is what we got: Tom Kha soup with tofu: you don't even really need a protein because the broth is the star. It's creamy, sour and full of lemongrass, Thai herb flavors. One of the best Tom Kha we've had. Tofu was cooked perfectly, loved the big chunks of tomato and fresh mushroom. 100% get this, it was our favorite dish overall. Chinese broccoli Ka Na Moo Krab: this is sort of a stiry fry dish with crispy pork belly and Chinese broccoli. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, big chunks and my favorite part of the dish. Broccoli was fresh. We love pork belly and They paired so well together. My only comment is that it was a bit on the saltier side. If I order this again maybe I will ask them to make it less salty. Would have been perfect! Beef Panang Curry: this was SO good. My boyfriend's favorite is panang curry, he has tried it at so many restaurants. we both agreed this was one of the best we've had. Portions perfect for me but may be a bit small if you have a bigger appetite. Price is very very fair. We got all 3 dishes for under $40 including a 20% tip! In today's economy... that's a steal lol The waitress and workers were so nice. I will come back soon and try their other dishes because everything looks delicious. read more
