The food here is absolutely amazing! I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants, but this one definitely beats them all. It was very clean, not greasy and the mango sticky rice was awesome. The rice was purple with some type of flour mixed in and the flavor was great. We are both vegan and meat dishes. I highly recommend it. The staff were so friendly as well. Everyone greeted us warmly.

Thai Chaiyo Tustin, 8+ years later, continues to be our ONLY place to order Thai food. Tonight we ordered the chicken pad Thai and Tom yum seafood soup. They were ready for pick up within 30 minutes. The Tom yum seafood soup is perfectly flavored: broth is so savory with the perfect amount of seasonings. Loaded with shrimp, mussels, white fish, mushrooms and octopus. A wonderful starter or meal if you need steamed rice. The chicken pad Thai is always on point! Noodles cooked perfectly, delicious light sauce with tons of chicken and bean sprouts. They also include a lime wedge! Support your local businesses, especially when they provide exceptional customer service and delicious, fresh food!

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!

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!

My experience here was so good, I want to come back again! My favorite entrees that was unique to me was the Chaiyo Chicken specialty that had a combination of a crispy orange chicken that had the texture of honey walnut shrimp infused with a sesame or peanut and lemon sauce you can taste in one bite! Roasted duck in red curry was also my second fave, because it was the first time I've had it and the meat was so juicy succulent and good that paired so well with the curry and rice. Spicy Pad Kee Mao with Seafood was delicious, because it was like pad seew with a kick to it that I love. Super lump crab fried rice was also amazing and tastes even better with spritz of lemon that brings out the crab flavor. Mango with sweet sticky rice (seasonal) was also really delicious since the coconut rice was soft, warm, sticky and mixed really well with the mangoes. Tom Yum soup with shrimp was also a classic that tasted yummy. Thai Tea Sunrise is Thai tea mixed with orange juice that was a perfect blend that you can really taste. Thai Tea Sunset is Thai tea mixed with lemon juice that was also a flawless blend that you can taste. Overall, this was one of the best experience ever and I would come back next time we're in town again and would highly recommend you all to stop by and check them out! Lots of parking in the shared plaza too!

I came with a small group of people for a casual dinner yesterday and were pleasantly surprised with the attentive service and good food! We ordered pad see ew, basil fried rice, papaya salad, chicken laab (?), catfish, and tom yum soup. All very flavorful and decent portion sizes.

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!

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.
