First time here, and the sushi was great! We also got egg rolls and Thom yum soup. Both delicious. Our server made the whole experience better. She was friendly and helpful. Definitely plan to return

Chaiyo was my first Thai food experience, over a decade ago. I now live in Texas, and every time I am back in town I have to eat here. It is still absolutely my favorite Thai restaurant of all time! I have been to dozens of Thai restaurants in multiple states since that first visit, and nobody comes close to the quality and spice level that Chaiyo provides. You don’t have to eat the off-menu insane spice levels like I do to enjoy this meal, though. I beg other places to make me cry, but nobody else can come close. If you’re brave enough, go above the 1-10 spice scale and get a picture of yourself on the wall! You won’t be disappointed – give them a try! I’m so glad I did!

The food is good. I had Pad C Ew. My family had drunken noodles. We shared the UT Roll.. The sushi was nice and fresh. The UT Roll is a warm roll from the topping. My favorite is the Thai Tea and the UT Roll from the visit.

My husband’s favorite restaurant in Knoxville. He’s has fond memories of eating here in college years ago and the food didn’t disappoint. Small place and service was a little slow on a Friday afternoon but the food did come quickly once our order was taken.

Two of four people in our party got bad food poisoning after eating at Chaiyo’s. Everyone ordered different food, so 50% of the meals resulted in illness, specifically the sushi and the shrimp pad Thai. This restaurant had good reviews and the chicken curry and drunken noodles tasted good, but we should not expect violent illness following eating at any restaurant, especially one with good reviews such as this one. Perhaps something has changed since they built up their reputation, but I would not eat here again and I would not recommend eating here unless you don’t mind throwing up for 6 hours and feeling terrible the following day.

Two out of my three sushi rolls are fantastic. Sadly my vegetarian roll came stuffed with Daikon. No where on the menu did it mention it or I wouldn’t have ordered it. I’m assuming they ran out of carrots since carrots are no where in the roll. Next time please tell your customers if you’re out of something. It’s an entire roll I won’t eat. The rest of our food is spectacular, more sad than anything

This is one of my favorite places in Knoxville! The good comes out quick and is perfect. As a vegetarian, they have so many delicious options to choose from and they’re all so yummy. My favorite dishes are the Red Curry and Drunken Noodle. Whether you get takeout or eat in-house you won’t be disappointed. Cheers!

Knoxville favorite. Love their drunken noodle. Any spice level above 6 stars is legit. Owner is a lovely, generous woman. Sushi is also way above average–they stay busy so you can trust everything to be fresh.
