Friendly people and great food! The entrees were delicious. IMO, a sign of a quality Asian food place is the quality of their plan white rice and this food truck scores high marks! read more

GREAT authentic food.. not just for Mountain Home, but for anywhere. I've been to thailand and this food is just as good! The guy working here is so sweet and kind, bringing the food to my truck too! HIGHLY recommend, too good to be this small of a business... read more

The service was great! Everything me and my husband ordered was fresh(because they make their food by the order) and extremely flavorful. If I could, I would definitely rate this place 10 stars out of 5! I highly recommend read more

Unexpectedly incredible Thai food in the middle of, well, not much else. We had laab and pad prik khing. Both were truly excellent. This will be a guaranteed stop for our family every time we drive by Mountain Home on I84. read more

Extremely nice workers, they bring the food to you and care about the order. The food was amazing and you can tell is made well, and large portions too for the price, highly recommend. read more

The food is excellent! Service is quick if you call ahead or just stop by. I recommend you try Chai Yo Thai 100%

Amazing food we were so happy with it. Exceeded expectations especially for being in the middle of Idaho!

Probably our favorite place in town to eat! We especially like the drunken noodles with pork, or green curry. Portion sizes are shareable. The owner is friendly and the food is always fresh and fast. We tried a bunch of Thai places when we were living in Vegas and we're happy to say this place is right up there with the best we've had. read more

Just passing through the area and happened upon this little gem of a food truck. The food was outstanding. Just be careful - there's American spicy and there's Thai spicy. We said "medium" spicy and I literally had tears running down my face from the heat. I highly recommend Chai-Yo-Thai. read more

Food is so good. Pad see ew is one of my favorites. The lady is so sweet she gave me a huge portion. I gave her the $6 change as her tip and she gave me a bowl of spring roll and fried dumplings, she insisted. She prepares the food herself (and looks like she's the only one running the show, I think). Bring cash as well. The maps took me to a different spot but she's located behind Maverick Gas station. read more

Stopped by here and ordered a red curry. I was the only active order but the lady had just taken out a few cars' orders. I paid the $14 and told her my car identification. I waited in my car about 15 minutes while my children bounced around impatiently. When I went back up and asked how much longer it would be, she went over and started spooning green curry. I asked if she had forgotten my order and she replied "no." But then she didn't remember what I had ordered and hadn't even prepared anything for me. There had never been any red curry available she told me. I asked for my money back and instead just found something around my house. Oh and the place is disgustingly dirty. 0/10 will never return. read more

I'm glad we have this food option in MH. I think if they had a beef option for their pad thai, it would definitely be an upgrade. Overall, I think this place is worth trying out. read more

This food truck is amazing! The lady who runs it is so sweet. She is always giving recommendations and answering any questions I have. I feel the portions are very fair for the money. I'll place an order and walk to do something else nearby normally and then come back and pick up my food. read more

Great place and even better that they added it to door dash. The new management had made ordering from Thai food truck much easier and kept Thai food in mountain home! read more

Great food service is great and even though it's a food truck with no real ambiance it is worth the time and money to eat there.

Excellent Thai food! Great service - big portions! My daughter in law, who is Thai, recommended the food and we are beyond pleased! It will be our stopping place anytime we are in the area. read more

The beef bagogi is our favorite dish here, the Thai tea is delicious. Very sweet owners too. Love ordering here

I have been visiting this place since it showed up over 10 years ago. She makes some of the best food I've had and the portions are very generous for the price. read more

Portions are massive, the food is delicious, make sure you bring cash because they do not have a card reader, there's an ATM within walking distance though. read more

This isn't Authentic Thai food! They only have a few so called Thai dishes. The rest is pretty much Chinese style.

Really like eating here each time we are come in to Mountain Home, the food is great, the portions are large, and the proprietor and her husband are very nice people. Take note, the trailer is moved to 1500 American Legion Street just east of the backside of the Maverick gas station, and the new number is 208-514-9934. The nice lady who owns it asked me submit that for her as neither her or her husband are techie. Hopefully it is reflected in the listing soon as it needs moderator approval and if they call the owner the language barrier may be a bit steep! read more

Stop here if you get a chance! This is a little slice of thai flavor in an unexpected place. The food is a real treat!

The food is amazing and alone makes this my new favorite place to eat. What will make you a 'regular' is the amazing customer service. Pleasant encounters with the staff booster my mood each time I've eaten hThe bulgogi and number 13 are my favorites, but I plan on trying everything on the menu. Jay read more

Five stars for the quality of the food. While served from a trailer that looks like a food truck, the food was as good as many sit down restaurants or better. The service wasn't as fast as the typical truck but worth the wait. read more

This is the place we went to when we could not make up our mind on what to eat. My family really enjoys the spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken. I have tried most of the other items on the menu and enjoyed them all. Never a complaint. The first rule of Chaiyo Thai is that cash is king, and the only form of payment they accept. Secondly...the portions are huge. We typically order three "plates" and an order of spring rolls for a family of four (two teenage boys). Thirdly, calling in can get a little confusing. It is easier to just go to the trailer and order your food. read more

I always get the bulgogi and spring rolls. I noticed when you tip they give you extra wontons or spring rolls. Good food, big portions, resonably priced. read more

Got the chicken pad Thai. Huge portions. The noodles were really soft and the sauce was super sweet. I ate only a small portion and the bf ate a little more than me. Next morning he woke up not feeling right. Will definitely not be going here again. Also, the cleanliness of the place is questionable. I don't think they are up to good code and I wonder how they pass an inspection. read more

I don't know why people in Mountain Home think the food here is so awesome. This isn't real Thai food. I would say the food here is a fusion with Korean and Chinese. The portions are big, but the price is about 10 bucks a plate. I've had the chicken/beef bulgogi, fried rice, and the food was good and sufficient enough to satisfy my hunger. It's not too difficult to mess up stir-fry cooking, so they compensate any other missing flavors by dumping soy sauce and MSG all over the food, which makes the food SUPER salty...you'll be drinking lots of water after this meal. I'd rather cook at home. If you're driving through Mountain Home, this is a good meal for your road trip. Chaiyo Thai would be a better fast-food alternative than Jack-in the box, Wendys, McDonalds, or Arby's in the Mtn Home pit stop. read more

Just a heads up, this place is cash only. Bring enough cash to pay for your meal and a few extra bucks to leave a tip! Top notch hospitality. Exceptionally tasty and seemingly authentic Thai food. Affordable prices at dinner time and even more affordable prices for lunch. Generous servings, fast service all in an environment that caters more to take away than anything else. Great hours of operation too! This is a food truck with plenty of parking. Four of us showed up hungry, thirsty and bedraggled after a long day of adventuring in the wilderness areas south and west of Mountain Home on a Sunday night after 8pm. We were greeted by a patient lady who was eager to help us order whatever we wanted. Thai iced teas were consumed while we waited briefly for our food to be ready. Numerous vehicles pulled up or pulled away over the course of our time here. The nice lady who helped us would bring food out to the folks waiting in their cars as it became ready. No one seemed impatient or like they had been waiting a long time. We ate in the parking lot and were even brought a few chairs, and bottles of water as we ate from the tailgate of our pickup truck. Serving sizes were very generous. Our bellies were full and we all felt satisfied after the meal. Everyone in our group ordered something different and each meal looked and tasted great. Mountain Home, Idaho--not necessarily where one would expect to find authentic and delicious Thai food. A pleasant surprise for those traveling through or for locals who want to spice things up from the long list of chain restaurants that are available. Try this place and you'll want to come back again! read more

Thai Food was something you always had to go to Boise for until this place came to town. I had eaten here prior to a month long vacation in Thailand and I can tell you with confidence, this is authentic Thai food made with love and chock-full of flavor. The portions are huge, the Thai Tea is fantastic, and the cost of the food is reasonable, on top of this, the staff is incredibly kind and hard working. At the time of me writing this, I saw the lead lady working in this scorching 99 degree heat. It's literal hell heat in a food truck. My food order was correct, delicious, and big. Worth every penny. read more

The food from here freaking feeds a family of 4. That's probably why you can typically find yourself spending more than 10 bucks. I had the pad thai and a thai iced tea, which were both pretty good. The fact that they're open relatively late is pretty awesome too, as we didn't get out of work until around 9pm. I certainly hope this place holds its own when the Singaporeans leave but I'm guessing that's sort of why they're just opening a trailer, instead of an all out restaurant. read more

Their spring rolls are great. I've had the chicken fried rice, the sweet and sour chicken, and the pad Thai noodles. They were all pretty average tasting. I would say my biggest issue is that the portions are HUGE. If you eat normal portions you would have enough of your plate leftover to probably feed 1 or 2 more people. I would want to eat here more often if they offered smaller portions so me and my husband could actually order what we want and not have huge amounts of leftovers that don't heat up very well. Still better than jade palace and red pavilion. read more

It's not by any means the best Thai you've ever had, but after driving across southern Idaho staring at sagebrush and passing hamburger joints for hours it's a great option. Cool trailer with gigantic menu plastered on side. Several Chinese and other east asian options. You can lug your huge dish down the street to eat at a picnic table in the park. read more

Chai Yo Thai - Mountain Home Thai trailer - Food Trucks Near Me - Mountain Home, Idaho

Huge portions! Man, it's enough for three days of lunch and I usually eat a decent amount. Maybe it's just the kind of food it is that gets to me but it is heavy. I love love love their egg rolls (spring rolls but fried?) greasy and very yummy. Got the curry and it tasted like chicken coconut soup I've had at other thai restaurants. Not bad, just different and kind of odd. Not really what I expect from a Thai food place, I guess I've been spoiled in the past. It is pretty good for what it is though so I might stop by again if I really want some kind of Asian food fix. read more

Quick service from very kind and lovely employees. We stopped through mountain home on our way home to Shoshone and had craved good Chinese/Thai food and this hit the spot. The portions were plentiful and the taste was good. The thai tea was great. My 2 year old was screaming "bite bite bite!" With her mouth still full. Needless to say she was impressed. We got #4 beef and #12 chicken. Well stop by here again for sure. read more

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find essentially, a food truck in this small town with such good Thai food. The portions, as others have noted, were very generous. I decided to order several entrees so there would be something that both of us would like. The Hot and Sour soup was good, flavorful, and similar to soups we have experienced in several other states. However, while not "Thai hot", it was spicier than the normal "American Hot" and just a tad too salty. A little too spicy for my wife but very tolerable for me. It did cause the back of my neck, my eyebrows, and my beard to sweat though. My wife's litmus test for Thai restaurants is Pad Thai. She was not disappointed. It was not too sweet, had layers of good Thai flavor, and again, very generous portion. We ordered the Pad Krapao. It was spicy, but not overwhelming, and had the pronounced basil flavor that I really enjoy. But again, a tad salty. We also ordered the entree called "Spicy Thai Style". It also had good flavor and wasn't too overwhelmingly spicy either. The To-Go containers were the best I've ever seen. The plates were sturdy and microwaveable and the rectangular soup container had a flip lock gasketed lid. We cleaned them up and will reuse them. There were some other deltas. They only accept cash so be prepared for that. The area in the parking lot around the truck/trailer had a good deal of clutter. Some sinks and other restaurant equipment as well as some trash. It took about 45 minutes to receive our food, so be prepared for some prep time wait. The prices on their website are no longer accurate. Several of their dishes now cost over 50% more if you want "premium" proteins like beef or shrimp instead of chicken or pork. All in all, while definitely not perfect, I will have no problem going back again now armed with information. read more

It's decent, you get a lot for the money, gigantic portions. Big time lack of flavor and somewhat greasy.

The best Thai food! Cute little food truck. You park and walk up to order, but they bring the food to your car. We go at least once a month. It's cash only, be aware. I always get the spring rolls and pad thai noodles with chicken. I also love their vegetables and brown sauce, and I add beef. The lady who always serves me is so friendly. Try their Thai Iced Tea or Thai Iced Coffee! read more

This is the one and only time I will go to this place. We ordered the Pad Thai and although the portions were huge I just couldn't get over the uncleanliness and unsanitary mess of the place. The food didn't look or taste like it was freshly prepared. I threw mine out but my husband said it was "edible". read more

I've got to say this is the best Chinese/Thai in town. I don't get anything other than the sweet and sour chicken, and fried rice, but it's the same every time. The owner used to make a different sweet and sour sauce a couple years ago which we LOVED but she changed it to a thicker sauce and it took a while to get used to but as long as I get the sauce on the side I enjoy it. There's no other place that compares to this in town, even though it does look sketchy. I know many people that get different items and enjoy it as well! Give it a try if you find anything on the menu you might like (it isn't a huge menu). read more
