I've been coming here for nearly 20 years, and it continues to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants. There's something pretty special about a place you can return to year after year and know you're going to have a great meal. The food is consistently delicious, flavorful, and comforting. Whether we're eating at the restaurant or picking up dinner to take home, it's one of those places we can always count on. After almost two decades, I'm still a very happy customer and will keep coming back! read more

Chaiyo Thai Cuisine - 50. Panang (take out) - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chaiyo has been my go to Thai spot for the past 20 years without fail! Their flavorful Panang Curry and perfectly seared Tasty Beef offer generous portions that never disappoint. Happy to support a small business that is family owned and always offers great service and consistently great food. It's a staple for a reason! read more

Such a cute little local spot. We went on a Saturday night and it was barren which was weird because this would totally be my casual weekend dinner spot if I lived closer/walking distance. Thai food is always a fab option when you're going out with pescatarian/vegetarian friends and this was no exception. We ordered the red curry (on the sweeter oniony side), basil fried rice with shrimp (didn't taste fishy, and appropriate portions of shrimp), tom yum soup (classic, hard to beat), and spicy noodles. We kept our spice level at a 3 (1-5 American-style spicy) which was perfect for us to enjoy the food. I think we could have gone for a 4 if we really wanted an extra kick but I always stick to a 3 when first trying a new Thai place. The ambiance is very cool, old school thai restaurant with maximalist vibes (which I love). The entrance is full of lush flowers/plants so it really feels like you're entering a new world when walking in. Service was quick but we were also the only people dining in, so that's expected. I think I'd definitely go back to this spot if I was in the area or looking for a spot for a pescatarian/veg group! Parking - street parking or some parking in the shopping complex across the street. read more

I have been coming to Chaiyo for over 15 years and it is still as good as I remember. I am sad that I can no longer eat here regularly since we moved to Auburn. The patio is more beautiful than I remember, with more flowers and space. It is definitely a little gem in the Northgate area. Service was prompt and attentive and gave us good suggestions for some items we didn't try before. I miss coming here all the time and will always come here for Thai when we're in the area. read more

Joined the clean plate club here at dinner last night with a crispy chicken with vegetables dinner that really hit the spot! Sweet server who took care of us promptly and throughout the meal. Also, absolute props to whoever has the green thumb outside because the flowers at the entrance are absolutely gorgeous and you feel like you're stepping through a garden. Someone really cares, and it shows. Lovely! read more

On a whim, me and CC decided to check out Chaiyo Thai Cuisine in Seattle's Pinehurst neighborhood (10/31/24). We both lucked out finding street parking right out front. The restaurant's interior was very clean and vast with plentiful seating. Nice and unobtrusive wait staff. We stuck with water of which the wait staff kept us hydrated. The menu had a wide variety of items to select from. The items ordered had me gravitating away from my standard mainstream usuals. Starter appetizer was #1 Pang-Sib which were fried pork and peanut rolls. Flavorful but more like packets not rolls. Nice change from egg rolls, cream cheese crab packets, or satay sticks. Soup was #13 Tom Yum with two stars of heat. This was indeed hot and sour soup with chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir leaves, and lime. Definitely sinus clearing versus the coconut milk based tom kha. Main noodle entree was #66 Pud See Ew with beef. Stir fried wide rice noodles with broccoli, and carrots. Something new versus pud thai. The servings were generous. Taste and texture had restraint. Presentation was streamlined. Seems to do the job for the neighborhood since 2006 (18 years!) and does brisk takeout. read more

Love this place. We order takeout from here ALL THE TIME, and it's always quick, flavorful, and delicious. Last night we got Panang curry and pad thai, both of which smelled and tasted fantastic. It's my go-to when I want to host someone with dietary restrictions. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely love this place! Always our family's goto spot for birthday dinners and celebrations. We hardly try any other restaurants since we know Chaiyo is delicious and dont want to be let down gambling with anything else. Without fail we always get Pad See Ew, Crispy Garlic Chicken, Green Curry and Sizzling Trout ( which comes on a hot plate and always draws looks of interest from other diners ;-) ). The service is fantastic, super friendly and always there to fill your water and accomodating if you need another drink or chopsticks. Highly recommend Chaiyo! read more

Chaiyo Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai, red curry, crispy chicken cashew and rice - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great service, even better food! The staff is very friendly and super accommodating. 5/5 would recommend!

I recently went to dine in here with my wife and friend. We were going to a movie in Northgate so decided to eat here before the movie. I am glad we did! The service was great here. I loved the vibe. It was very clean and had a modern vibe with plenty of space. The pricing was also SUPER reasonable for Seattle restaurant prices. The parking is limited, but if you can't find street parking, there is a lot across the street that is safe to park in during the evening hours if you choose to do so. Also, it is good to note that they stop taking dine-in orders at 8 p.m. even though they close at 9 p.m. Reservations are also highly recommended. The food was phenomenal. Myself and my wife had the basil fried rice with fried tofu. The fried rice had the perfect blend of Thai flavors and tasted fresh with lots of great flavors and spices. I also had the fried spring rolls which had an amazing taste and were perfectly crisp. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the abundance of vegetarian offerings. They all looked so delicious, and you could substitute tofu for just about any meat on the menu. Overall, I highly recommend Chaiyo Thai. They have delicious Thai food that you will love! read more

Chaiyo Thai Cuisine - 65. Pud Thai & 89. Basil Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We've been ordering to go since Covid, but finally had the opportunity to pop in when our choice for the evening was too packed. I'll be honest and confess my expectations were low considering our delivery experiences sucked. Lacking quality, incorrect orders, portion sizing sparse, and higher prices. I held my breath and enjoyed the evening hoping the curry would satisfy my Thai craving. Service was excellent! There weren't many people on a Friday evening so our food arrived quickly and everything was well portioned and absolutely tasty! We had the Thai iced tea, pud see ew (beef! - which hasn't been available for a long time) Panang curry - so flavorful, 2 stars was the perfect spice level Crispy cashew chicken! My new fav! The bill was reasonable considering we planned on spending quite a bit more on sushi. Looking forward to coming here more often. read more

I find it difficult to rate a restaurant on take-out vs dine-in, but here I am giving it a go after friends ordered delivery from Chaiyo for us for dinner. First of all, the food arrived hot which was a huge plus. So often you're presented with a tepid meal after travel that just does not do it justice. Everything we got was really tasty. Spicy noodle (stir fried wide rice noodles with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, basil leaves, broccoli, and carrots in a spicy sauce) was hot, fresh, tasty, and had a nice kick. Pud see ew was traditional and done well. Veggie pineapple fried rice was also a hit. Minus one star because they forgot about our green curry, which they refunded us for but we wanted to eat it. The rest of what we ordered was thankfully enough for the four of us. A shame they didn't double check the order when it left their restaurant. read more

Had a unpleasant stomach bug after ordering take out from this establishment. I feel they may have warmed up previously cooked food. as opposed to cooking it fresh. It's un unfortunate.. read more

The Fresh Roles are decent in taste. They are a bit large to eat by fingers. The sweet basil was good too. The quantity is huge. The interior is dark. Did not find much ethnic decoration. But not bad. The staff was polite. read more

Our first time here and what a delight! We had a lovely dinner. Our daughter had the yellow curry, my husband had the pepper beef, and I had the vegetable dish with peanut sauce. My husband said they forgot to add his 3 stars, but he still enjoyed the flavor. Our daughter and I loved the option of no stars, and the flavor was all there! We also enjoyed the fried bananas and coconut ice cream. The portion was excellent for sharing! The server was exceptional! We will definitely return! read more

I have driven by Chaiyo Thai since the restaurant was opened (20+ years), but I've never eaten there until recently. I've been to Thailand a dozen time so I'm familiar with Thai food. Chaiyo Thai was a pleasant surprise to me. The menu selection is extensive, but I've only eaten there for lunch. The lunch prices are very reasonable. The quantity and quality are very good. The waitress was attentive. The interior has a Thai atmosphere. There are a couple of other Seattle area Thai restaurants that I think are better, but Chaiyo Thai is more reasonably located for me and its prices are better. I will return and return frequently when I get a Thai food craving. read more

Yummy food, generous portions, and vegan choices. Was there last evening around 6p (12/1/24) and couldn't have had a lovelier waiter. So accommodating, checking in us , and overall excellent in EVERY way. So very cozy, especially during Christmas!! read more

This place is not good. The food is mediocre at best. There are not a lot of Thai restaurants around here, and so I think people just have been content. I have been here 4-5 times, and I have been disappointed each time. Ordered "combination fried rice" that dish includes under cooked onions, rice with no flavor, and chicken and 3 prawns. Usually, a combination, has, beef, chicken, and BBQ pork (or something similar). Don't waste your money. read more

I've grown to love this spot for their pad Thai and its my go to spot for pad Thai take out in the area! Give them about 20 minutes for take out orders so plan ahead. Love the fried egg and portions! read more

I assume that this restaurant is not making their own fried spring rolls, because I bit down on a bolt that was part of the filling of the spring roll. We called to warn them, but they though we wanted free food and offered us that. When we said we didn't want food, but wanted to warn them, they didn't understand why we were calling. So far as I know, they have not done anything to recall this batch or protect their customers. I will report this to King County Food Protection office at 206-296-4774, Monday when they open. This is dangerous to teeth and was small enough to swallow if you didn't chew well. The food has always tasted good. I am sad to learn that they don't make the product they sell, and that they don't understand the danger to health that they are causing by not dealing with this information. read more

Chaiyo Thai Cuisine - Spring Roll with M6 Screw - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chaiyo is my family's favorite local Thai restaurant and has been our consistent go-to for the last several years. They have a very extensive menu, my favorite item is the mussel omelet which not many other Thai restaurants carry. Their heavenly eggplant and crispy garlic chicken are also wonderful. The portions are sizable and the food is tasty. The service is consistently good and food comes out quick and fresh. I have also ordered third-party delivery from this restaurant and it arrived tasting just as good as dining in-person. read more

Whenever I'm in the area, I'm sure to swing by Chaiyo!! I take my Thai food very seriously and this has to be one of my favorites. I've only come here a few times but the service is ALWAYS friendly and fast. My favorites to get here are the Crispy Garlic Chicken and the Pud See Ew. A perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy (by choice of course). I was pleased to meet the owners the last time I had went, you can definitely tell they prioritize their customers experience. The custest little gem in the Pinehurst neighborhood. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Good food. Very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. The place has a nice charm. Reminds you of when things were simpler.

Stumbled across this place while in Seattle. Was looking for a place that had Mee Krob on the menu as most places in CA have pulled it from their appetizer choices. Also ordered the pork Pad See Ew and their wonton soup. The Pad See Ew was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. The soup was also amazing, but note - when they ask you the spice level, unless you're really fine with spicy things, just get a level 1. Level 2 was pretty potent....i can't imagine what 5 (their highest) would have been like. So now to the one thing i really was looking forward to...the Mee Krob. Sad to say that it wasn't good. Let's break it down...the sauce was great, the shrimp and tofu bites were good....but the noodles themselves...they had a very strong rancid smell. Like they had been cooked in old oil, or had been sitting and waiting to be used for quite a while. I am still giving Chaiyo 4 stars though because the other dishes were delicious, and everything i saw other people ordering looked amazing as well. And i could tell that the mee krob had potential...but they just need to smell or taste the fried noodles before mixing in with the other ingredients. All in all, i would recommend...one iffy dish did not ruin my overall feel for this place and their food. read more

Love this thai place! We can't get enough of the phad thai with veggies. Doesn't make my celiac husband sick (a lot of Thai places claim "gluten free" but think that only pertains to the noodles.. not the soy sauce or other contamination possibilities) and the vegetables are actually seasoned and delicious compared to most Thai places where it feels like they dumped in some frozen veg and call it good. The Panama curry, see ew, and springs rolls are all delicious! Parking can be tricky, but I can usually find stuff in the neighborhood area. Its close to a bus stop and a tavern, so there's some good people-watching (but not a great view otherwise). The staff here is great! We always have ordered to-go, and they've got our orders right every time. And are extremely courteous and understanding as it takes me a while to pay while I hold a wiggly toddler. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Great food, service and prices. Our waiter Tae greeted us immediately, was so friendly and accommodating. Gave us all the suggestions and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was bomb! Hit our spicy level exactly as we wanted. Left feeling confident any meal we ordered would be good. Best Thai place in our neighborhood, will definitely be back again read more

I enjoy every bite of my meal here, every single time. Finally I have found the Thai place I can always count on. Exceptional taste, amazing food, decent Ambience and good service. I have tried a variety of dishes multiple times and have never been disappointed. Usually at other Thai places I have had hit n misses but this place is a gem. My personal favorite combination here is crab cake, yellow curry fried rice and Thai Ice Milk Tea. I highly recommend this place. I just want to caution about the parking though. The street parking is kind of tough to get here at peak times. There are just very limited spots around. Be prepare to walk like 2-3 blocks. It's not too bad. read more
