Been coming here since they opened. Even with new owners the food stays consistent every time!! Service is quick and the food is always on point. If you like spices ask for the spice tray! Our go to dishes are Panang curry, crab rangoons (crispy wontons) and papaya salad!

Sweet and sour duck 🦆 is my go to whenever eating at a Thai restaurant. This was not my favorite unfortunately. The duck was a little on the dry side and the sauce was a little too sour to my liking. The service however was wonderful.

I will never order food from this place again! I got an order through uber eats, I was soooo disappointed. The boba was hard and DISGUSTING 🤮 and I mean hard! Who likes this? It was truly appalling. I also ordered the pho let me tell you, the broth had good flavor but the noddles were not authentic to pho. They gave me thick flat and soggy noddles that fell apart when I tried to pick up to eat from the soup. I will NOT recommend this place to anyone. I was extremely disappointed and disgusted.

I ordered veg fried rice today with tofu and I never had such a worst fried rice. There are no vegetables and only 2 or 3 slices of carrots. No spice and it seems like the rice was made 2 or 3 days ago. Very worst restaurant. Never recommend.

Hate giving them one star as we love this place, but they are VERY unreliable when they are open. It happened numerous times we would plan our day around eating there only to find out they were closed:( I usually check online the hours and they were closed while online it says open. When you call, you can't even get hold of anyone as of why they are closed and when they will.open. I think that is bad business; they should update their opening hours, at least online but at the store too..I mean closed during lunch time??? Because our day was planned, we had to go to another Thai restaurant down the road, and this place was packed and good during lunch hour with good reviews.

Good food. Excellent service. Well maintained dining room. Pleasant atmosphere.

Chai Yo Thai is a very small yet amazing restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you just got invited into someone's home for some authentic cooking. The feel of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming. We were greeted with a huge smile and slight bow by this lovely lady who just made us feel so welcomed. Before even starting, let me say the service we got here was nothing less than amazing. Service is something most restaurants lack these days. The food isn't always the reason customers return to restaurants. With that being said, let's talk about the food. The food here is wonderful, delicious, authentic Thai food. It took a little time, but that is exactly what I expected because I knew this food was going to be fresh and delicious. For appetizers, we selected dumplings and fried bananas to start. Let me say that the fried bananas are out of this world delicious. I made those fried bananas disappear in a quick minute. They didn't have a chance after I had my first bite of them. For our main dishes, my girlfriend ordered a Green Curry dish, and i ordered their drunken noodle dish. Both dishes were well prepared, fresh and delicious. I will say after having a taste of my girlfriends Green Curry, I can see that becoming one of my go-to dishes when eating there. If you like authentic food in a very comfy,cozy, laid-back restaurant, this is it!!! Small little place with a bunch of goodness to offer. Will definitely be eating here more regularly.

I've never had Thai food before, so I tried it out for the first time here. We ordered the dumplings and spring rolls as an appetizer, then the drunken noodles. The dumplings were great, you get 8, most places only give you 6 for the same price. The spring roll was a bit overdone but good. We ordered med spice for the noodles, and it was too spicy for me. My sister liked it. I didn't like they don't give free refills on teas or soft drinks.

Apparently, a new owner. Just not the same. Penang sauce was very watery and lacking flavor.

Been going for about 5 years... #1~ Amazing welcoming people who love what they do and it shows! Thank you for years of fresh delicious authentic meals!

Food and service are excellent 👌

Food is great here! Very tasty. You can tell it is cooked with care and the service is good. This place offers a small dine in or takeout experience.

Great food, friendly staff and super clean facility. Love it

I will never order food from this place again! I got an order through uber eats, I was soooo disappointed. The boba was hard and DISGUSTING 🤮 and I mean hard! Who likes this? It was truly appalling.

Very disappointed with the service today because we’ve been coming here since 2022. My wife and I go in and were seated down immediately. We had our menus down and were ready to place our orders on the lunch menu. Another couple came in 5 minutes after us, and the server was jumping through hoops for them. She then took their order and went to enter it on the computer to alert the kitchen. We got up, left, and will never be back.

Best Thai food in the bay area and always worth the drive. I've been eating here for years. Like the best restaurants, it's out of the way and you either stumble on it or hear about from word of mouth. Take my advice and eat their food ASAP.

Great place. I only get the veggie broth and it’s really good. They care enough for my beliefs to make sure there’s no oil or unnecessary additives.. going out of there way to let me know if I want to be healthy don’t add soy and consume as is. Thank you.

Not open during listed hours

I love this restaurant. Staff is always pleasant and the food is always fresh and amazingly tasty! My favorite is the pumpkin curry with shrimp.

I’ve gone here for about two years. I will say the workers are absolutely fantastic and kind. I’ve never had an issue with any of them. As for the food, I can say it really depends on the day. I usually have vegetable pad Thai due to when I’ve had chicken pad Thai the chicken itself is very bland and doesn’t taste fresh and dry. I’ve had an incident where there was hair in my curry and stopped eating there for several months. I would recommend that the owners wear hair nets. I would also recommend get their tea drinks without the boba balls. The owners switched the brand they’ve used for boba because the balls are now tiny, tasteless, and the texture/consistency of orbeez. The owners switched also brings out entrees when ready, so if you are eating with more than one person then their entree may come out around 7-10 minutes after yours. The quality isn’t the same but the owners are extremely kind and generous with portions of the food.

Great food and excellent service.

Sweet and sour duck 🦆 is my go to whenever eating at a Thai restaurant. This was not my favorite unfortunately. The duck was a little on the dry side and the sauce was a little too sour to my liking. The service however was wonderful.

A very inexperience with Thai food, but what I had was lovely. Few differences from the first time I had it, but overall very good mixture of flavors spice even mild love the food little high price then my usual place .

Crab ragu it's not crab ragu its more broccoli ragu it has no crab cheese cream flavor.

Good food. Excellent service. Well maintained dining room. Pleasant atmosphere.

I really love this place especially for the service but they cut a lot of ingredients especially in the pho which makes it pointless.

Best Thai restaurant we have eaten at, service is super fast and the food is always delicious. Highly recommend the green curry.

Fantastic spot! Authentic and delicious.

This is the best place for authentic Thai food. The family who runs it is amazing, and you definitely won't leave there hungry. The food is great, and the portions are good size. If you have spent time in Thailand, this food will take you back to the land of smiles.....

Best Thai food I’ve had. They are my go to for Thai when I am in the Riverview area. Family owned and operated. Authentic thai food. Staff is very friendly. Food tastes amazing!!!!

Yum! Yum! Yum! Everytime we order we are so pleased with everything- dine in & carry out. No beer or wine on menu but they do allow BYOB!

A great place for Thai food and a super lunch deal. Spring roll super salad in a choice of entree offer $14.50 We. ordered three different items and they were all fantastic! Fresh, tasty and plenty to eat. Great service, kind of plain and dark inside but very clean. Highly recommend.

To me this is the best Thai around.
The food is great every time!
The service is great. Everyone is nice and friendly.
Orders are timely

Ordered take out. Panang curry was superb!! Very nice gentleman greeted me and my food was ready before I got there. Still piping hot back at the hotel. Highly Recommend!

This is the best restaurant i have ever been to, and I regular at Ruths Chris. As soon as i stepped inside, we were waited on immediately and the service was top notch. The rangoons he brought out for free were the best rangoons ive ever had. I had to leave for an emergency and the waiter RAN to box my food

My friend took me out for my birthday to have Thai food. Chai Yo Thai is not fancy but it has one of the most authentic yummy Thai food I had not had in a long time. Family owned and the owner cooks delicious! The prices are also resonable, a relaxing place, military discount and good service. No liquor served but you can bring your own bottle. I am going back to eat there!

Great food no matter what you get and the staff are nothing but helpful and it’s a very nice place to be in and around

Absolutely delicious!

I've never had Thai food before, so I tried it out for the first time here. We ordered the dumplings and spring rolls as an appetizer, then the drunken noodles. The dumplings were great, you get 8, most places only give you 6 for the same price. The spring roll was a bit overdone but good. We ordered med spice for the noodles, and it was too spicy for me.

Great food and boba tea

Not only is the food AMAZING and reasonably priced, but the staff is friendly and goes out of their way to deliver a nice experience. They are just as polite and friendly for take out. Highly recommend this restaurant

Love this place. Nicest people ever and very good food. They are always consistent.

The Green curry is great!

Literally the nicest people, delicious food and fast service. They work so hard every time we go there. The spring rolls are fantastic.

Wow, just wow. This place is incredible. The food, the service, the decor; All absolutely incredible. If you haven’t been, you need to go. The outside is off putting but once you get inside, you enter a little piece of Thailand and forget you are sitting in Riverview. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

Today marked my inaugural visit to a restaurant I've heard much about, and I must say, it surpassed every expectation. The culinary experience was nothing short of amazing, with a menu that offered a diverse range of options, each appearing fresher than the last. It's eateries like this that remind us of the importance of supporting small restaurants. Their dedication to quality and variety truly sets them apart.

This place became my #1 Thai ace after my first visit. Food is always delicious, hot, and fresh. Price is average as well. Never had an issue here or anything bad to say

Such a cute little place! the owners were so kind and so sweet. i love this quaint restaurant. they serve big portions, have vegetarian options, they’re fast/efficient, and are just so worth supporting!

Awesome crispy wontons that we got on the house at lunch! The fried banana was also very good. My grandmother's first time trying Thai and she especially loved the Pad Thai

The food is so good and the owners are super nice. Don't sleep on this one.

We got take out last night for the first time from Chai Yo Thai. It was the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. They threw in a free appetizer since the order was over $50 and it was a wonton dish that was also amazing. The sauce was awesome. The staff was very friendly during the pick up too. Can’t wait to try more from the menu!

Lunch is amazing, great food and service

great food good prices. Be patient

They are awesome. Good food. No refills on drinks and I think they charge for extra rice now, but I'm not sure. If you want Thai: Try.

Tried the red curry. Flavor was great but there was only 2 little pieces of chicken and a tiny bit of green pepper and carrot and all of the rest was just cabbage, like an overwhelming amount of cabbage. I’d only try again if they cut down on the cabbage and add more of the other veggies and actually give some chicken when they are up charging it.

*updated stars
Have tried them a few more times and it’s been great and consistent. Tried multiple curries and they have all been delicious.

We ordered steamed dumplings, pad Thai with tofu and crispy duck in a pineapple sauce. We also received a free order of cream cheese wontons.
The dumplings were flavorless, but the sauce was really good. The cream cheese wontons were mixed with I think green onions. They were just okay, but better than the dumplings.
My tofu pad Thai was lackluster. The tofu was good but some of my noodles weren’t cooked all the way. My fiancé ordered the crispy duck. It was slightly dry, but the pineapple sauce made it taste better.
I get cold easier so I ordered all of my drinks with no ice and was charged an additional fee because I ordered with no ice.

Closed for unknown reasons. During normal hours.

Very welcoming and pretty decor. The staff is super nice and the food is delicious. Make sure you leave room for dessert because the custard is yummy!

Asian family business serving excellent Thai food in a casual, family friendly atmosphere. Owners run the business with their boy sitting in a back booth quietly playing games. Extremely friendly & gracious. My nephew & family eat here often

Honest review here. Place is adequate and the food was alright but not 4.6+ rating. I would say that this is a decent place where you can get a meal and it’s affordable but I’ve eaten at a lot of places and the food quality was lacking. Very nice owners running the place and we did enjoy how quiet it was though and enjoyed the company

Got the chai yo Ramen. Delicious and was brought out promptly. Great choice for lunch in the area.

Service is quick, very polite, & anxious to please. First time dining in, as usually get take out, but my experience here has definitely made me want to return more often!
Food was delicious & plentiful. Chicken Satay was tender, large slices/slabs of perfectly seasoned chicken breast. Only negative is here Satay is served with sweet chili sauce & not the usual peanut sauce. Although the sauce was tasty, would have preferred peanut sauce. For entree I had beef pad Thai, which had plentiful rice noodles, fried egg, vegetables, and beef (but beef was tough so I'll be sticking to my usual chicken from now on). Menu has many choices & nearly everything offers a choice of protein or vegetarian. They do have a Vegetarian section of menu as well. Mussaman Curry was delicious, even better the next day! (I usually dump remaining rice into container with the Mussaman in it; the rice absorbs all the liquid overnight next day is flavorful rice with chicken, potatoes,peanuts,etc)

By far my FAVORITE restaurant in this area! Nom is so sweet and even knows exactly what we love to order (their Pumpkin Curry and Pad Thai are amazing!!) if you want some delicious authentic Thai, this is the place!

When I lived in the Tampa/Brandon area I found this gem of a place. I moved years ago but every time I visit this is a must stop. I always get the pad Thai shrimp. I ordered it a few days ago and it was the best I’ve ever had. I’ve tried many Thai places throughout the DMV area and nothing compares to this place. The good is always so fresh and to me is reasonably priced!

The food is absolutely acceptional-

The lady server is awesome and sweet with great presentation and efficiency.

The other servers not so much-

Atmosphere is cute and cozy !! Did I say the food is absolutely amazing!! Shout out to the chef!

Thai food is my favorite food. The food is pretty consistently good here and one of my favorite places or eat.
Sometimes the chicken is a little overcooked.

Their Pad thai is one of the best pad thai I had. So authentic and delicious! The server is so nice and friendly. I always get the lunch special.

a true gem. their homey feel and warm hospitality, genuine cuisine and delicious food keeps me coming back

We love Chai Yo! The food is always fresh and tasty! The owners really do appreciate your business and take pride in the food they serve💗 Definitely give them a try!

The food here is as authentic as you can get! We’ve been coming here for years!! Love the owners & their sweet son 🥰 They have always had amazing customer service too!!
Highly recommend this spot! Thank you guys for giving my boy a special treat on his birthday 🥳

Best pad thai I’ve ever had, all great food!

Fire food

How is this a 4.7? Iced tea tasted soapy, fresh rolls were inedible and the yellow curry made us sick. Oh and the noodle dish to go, my son wouldn't eat it and my mom fortunately didn't eat the yellow curry leftovers (she said it tasted weird). The noodle dish smelled up the car with a weird smell, too. We spent a fortune, too. Our eyes are crying (and it ain't the spicy food)...

Best Pho in town. My wife & I have tried most Pho places in area, by far the most flavorful broth base with right Star Anise flavor!!
Love the little appetizers Rangoon and dumplings. The dumpling sauce steals the show. The Cashew Chicken flavor is deep.
Portions are spectacular!
Small place, 10 tables or so, 1 server, service is not fast, but also not slow. Not recommended for lightning in and out.

It was a comedy of errors, but despite all of the little things that went wrong, such as the main dishes coming out one minute after we were served the appetizer and my friend’s fried rice dish not arriving at the same time with the curry so that they could be eaten together, the worst part was how we were treated by the server. When we returned the yellow curry dish because it tasted so sugary sweet it was inedible, our server tried to argue with us, saying that we didn’t understand Thai food. That’s the worst thing you do. You don’t argue with the customer, then he brought out an equally syrupy sugary sweet green curry which we also had to send back because it was sweet like candy! He then ignored us entirely and when we finally caught him and asked for the bill, he tried to charge us for the dishes that we sent back! The fried rice they finally brought us at the end after we were clearly done eating, was so sticky and stuck together like one big cake, and we clearly had only taken one or two bites, and were not happy with it but because the waiter never even came back to check on us, and we didn’t want to argue anymore, we just accepted it🥹. I’ve never seen anything like that fried rice. It was a chicken fried rice, but it was just rice all stuck together with maybe two or three little green onions on the top, and it literally was like a stuck together cake, and it didn’t have anything else in it. Just rice and chicken and like three green onions. And it tasted sweet too🤣 We shook the plate and it didn’t move at all! 🙄 The server was so rude and clearly trying to make us feel bad for returning the dishes that were actually inedible due to their sweetness level, and I will never be returning to this place, ever again.

Great Thai food & soup. Very Clean place & good service too. P.S. Thai hot is really hot (a first for me). Here's some of my Cashew Chicken leftovers.

Authentic Thail food with 5-stars in every category.

Amazing fresh made to order food. Family that ones is are so friendly. Love this place! I go there sometimes just for chi coffee

My favorite Thai in the area! I love these guys and their food

Great customer service experience and my husband says they have awesome dumplings! I had the thai basil and it was so fragrant and delicious. Will definitely come back!

Authentic Thai food and delicious. Service was outstanding and the lady that took care of our table was a very lovely person. I highly recommend this place.

Best Thai Food anywhere.

It was our first time in and we loved it!! The service was amazing and the owner was very attentive and upbeat, which made the experience great.
The food was so amazing! Fast, hot and fresh veggies. We even got a free appetizer for spending over an amount. Best Thai iced tea, and I consider my self a connoisseur lol

Best authentic Thai restaurant in Riverview! Excellent food and customer service every time! My favorite dish is the ginger fish, a most have if you dine in. Dessert is mango with the sticky rice. Delicious!

Green curry and drunken noodles were great! Atmosphere is clean, and well loved. Most importantly, the service is out of this world amazing! Come here if you want to feel appreciated, and treated like royalty. Will definitely come back!

Best Thai in town! We eat here all the time and absolutely love it! Green curry is a personal favorite. We also love the veggie spring rolls. We also love the steak fried rice. Honestly it’s all good haha

Very delicious food. 5⭐️. I didn't have to ask for anything extra they just brought all that I needed as if they could read my mind.
Excellent hospitality 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Crab wontons is so good!

While we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for our to go order with a relatively slow dining room, it was worth the wait.

Crab Rangoon may be the best I have ever had, light, crispy, creamy, a perfect complimentary sauce, and addition an herbal addition that made them even better than imaginable.

The fried bananas are sweet and crispy, with the perfect balance of firm and sweet banana.

The pan fried dumpling were almost as good as the Rangoon's, tender juicy meaty filling, perfectly thin wrapper.

The massaman and panang curries were perfectly spiced and creamy.

The drunken noodles were the only let down, a little over done and extremely heavy on bean sprouts and carrots. But the flavor was still top notch.

Can't wait to try more .

Good flavor, ordered pad thai, pad see ew and yellow curry.

Each meal a delight. We were lucky to stumble upon them a while back. I think we are regulars and treated like honored guest on each visit. Food flavor and quality First Rate!

Great food and great service!

The food was ok. Chicken tasted funky like it was old and had been re-heated. I love thai, but this was quite unpleasant. Soup was good.

One of our favorite Thai restaurant. Love the food. Was very delicious and spicy 🔥🔥🔥. Excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

My husband got the Tom Yum Goong, which is delicious, and I got the Pad Thai shrimp. The taste was good but very salty and too much sauce. I thought Pad Thai was supposed to be dry, not with so much sauce on it.

Go Here!! For your appetizer, get the fried banana and sweet potatoes ($5) enough for 2 people. I got the Pad Thai noodles with tofu, hubby got the drunken noodle with chicken. These were both the BEST Thai dishes ever! Soooooo Yummy! Very very casual, very inexpensive. ENJOY!

Great customer service. They show respect to the customers. The food was amazing, like nothing I tried before. Highly recommend.

The food was soooo good. We ordered Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Fried Rice and Panang Curry Duck. Everyone was very happy with their dinner. Portions are big. We all took home leftovers. The prices were super affordable for dinner. The customer service was spectacular. I believe it was the owner who was waiting our table and she accommodated all 8 of our dietary restrictions. This was our first time here and it will be our go to Thai restaurant now!

Best Thai food around and the sweetest customer service. I’ve had both dine-in and takeout many times, always amazing.

Everything was delicious from. The coconut based soup to the chicken satay to w pumpkin curry. That was a wonderful curry. The waitress was very kind and attentive.

I love the food here and the server does her best to take care of everyone, however it was quite busy tonight (Friday) as the restaurant was full and the To go orders were rolling in and it appeared to be only one server and the cooks. They really did their best to get to everyone, but you could tell they were slightly backed up. Having said that this is one of my 2 favorite spots I enjoy for Thai food. If you are in the area definitely give them a try. Just try to be understanding if there is a bit of a wait.

Best Thai food in Riverview! Our go to every time. Owners are really nice too. Highly recommend

Food was fantastic! We got the crab wantons as an appetizer, and it was fried perfectly. Pad Thai and duck soup were both great entrees.

The only issue was that our food was not brought out together. I had to wait almost 10 minutes for my food after my wife's dinner arrived.

Good food. Just wish the stir fry wasn’t 80% cabbage and 20% noodles.

Awesome food, service, and prices

My favorite go to spot in Riverview. They are very friendly and the food is delicious. I always go for the Pad Thai!

Great food and good portions

Food was fresh, hot and delicious, but the papaya salad did not have any papaya and it was OVER THE TOP, mother of God hot!

We love this hidden gem. Their Pumpkin Curry is my favorite with fried tofu. Their Crab Ragoons are hands down the best.
We’ve never had anything we didn’t like from here. Order ahead and take it home, always fresh!!
Owner is super nice too!!

Awesome place

The worst service and time management. Food is ok but expect 30+ minute wait on top of what they tell you.

Love this place and the owners. Great food. We take out usually, but they're very accommodating and nice. Try it!!🥰

I’m from New York me and my wife come here every time we come to our home down here. There food is absolute delicious. There dumpling amazing also love the Thai tea mmmm you will not regret it. The tall lady I think she is one of the owner also a server is the nicest women in the world always serves you with a smile.

Excellent Thai food at the right price

Awesome food

The food here is authentic and the portions are great- we order the chicken pumpkin curry and beef pad see ew almost every time. The staff is exceptionally friendly and this is certainly our favorite Thai place!!

Fantastic food. I love Thai food and I eat it in every state I visit. This is by far the best Thai food in Hillsborough county.

Excellent panang and pad thai

The food was great, and the service was a little slow. Didn't go for the atmosphere but for the food. Definitely will go back.

Top notch spot for authentic and complex flavored Thai food! Im finishing up my meal as we speak. Soooo good :) this is the best hot sauce as well see picture

This restaurant has, hands down, the best curry in Florida, most likely the best in America, and possibly the best in the world. I have tried dozens of Thai places in Florida and the hot Panang Curry here is the best soup I've ever had in my life. It's better than any lobster bisque. It's better than any tomato soup and grilled cheese combo.

A few years ago, they were good. Now, they are not. The last few times have been terrible. Not sure why they've allowed it to go down hill, but I do hope they can turn things around. They do still have the better appetizers and Penang curry in the area. That is if the meat you choose isn't spoiled...

Fantastic Thai food. Absolutely delicious Tom
Kha soup and Hot and sour soup. Chicken Ramen (not soup) was excellent. Steady stream of people in and out that know how good this place is!!!

Ginger Red Snapper Is Delicious! Portions Are Large, And They Will Cook To Your Taste! Best Thai Food In The Area!!🙏

Seems like a well run family business. We came for lunch and it was excellent. Very reasonable prices and the food was very flavorful. We had pad Thai and panang curry, which was delicious. It came with some creamy spinach wontons and chicken and rice soup, very homey and nice. Will be coming back soon.

The food and level of service here is outstanding. Their lunch specials are a great value, and it is obvious the owners care about their customer's experience. I will definitely be back!

Chai Yo Thai easily deserves five stars for their food, service, and care. We love this place!

This was our first time eating here today and it was excellent! This restaurant was recommended by friends and I’m so glad we tried it. We will definitely be back! I had the pumpkin curry with tofu and it was amazing! I also had the taro sweet milk boba tea and it was very yummy. Highly recommend!

We ordered via ubereats. Had the pad thai and it wasn’t prepared well. The chicken was over cooked and bland… the noodles was WAY overcooked. First and last time ordering smh

It took one meal from this restaurant to have me regretting all the time I never bothered to eat Thai cuisine. The food is always delicious and made well! This is one of my favorite take out restaurants in my area.

Awesome Thai food! I felt like I was back in Bangkok again!

We LOVE this place! The food is amazing and the portions are huge. They are in our regular rotation. The owners are the nicest people and really work so hard for great customer service. Highly recommend. They do get very busy at times so be patient it’s worth it.

My girlfriend and I stumbled on this place looking for authentic Thai food. And this taste like you’re eating Thai food in Thailand. And the server was so kind and attentive. My girlfriend is Laos and she said this is better than how my mom makes it.

Used to go here all the timeI never had this problem before. I believe new owners took over last year.I never had this problem before, but when trying to call to order There is no answer and then mailbox is full. Bad for buisness.. At least take the time to empty your viocmail! I gave up and went to Bubba Qs..

Today was our last visit to Chai Yo Thai. I sat for over an hour waiting for my takeout order, and saw a bit too much of how this establishment is managed.

We really tried with this place. It’s local, the portion sizes are admirable and the staff is friendly. It kind of didn’t matter that our takeout orders were always wildly incorrect, that the pad thai was too sweet, that the proteins diminished with each successive order, or that the wait times (stated as “15-25 minutes” on the website) can be up to 90 minutes in reality. We’d hoped we were just catching a bad day or the rough end of a rush. We were wrong.

I can’t upload the video here, but there were German roaches in the dining area. The server (who was handling the takeout orders as well as waiting tables) would smash them as he saw them (or as they were pointed out to him) and wipe the areas down, but it’s a losing battle.

One table of diners asked for to-go boxes and a check, having never been served their drinks (not even waters), but soft drinks were on the bill. The server removed the items promptly (with a smile), and the woman paying was gracious about the whole thing, but it was rough to watch. I was embarrassed for everyone involved. I have attached a photo of the table after the party departed.

The next diners who were seated were given waters promptly, but waited 15+ minutes for any additional attention from the server. He’s clearly overstretched and service is suffering.

Our order was wrong, expectedly, and was handed off just shy of the 90-minute mark. The chicken satay appetizer both smelled and tasted spoiled. The garlic & pepper (a “Chef’s Specialty”) was swimming in water & was nearly flavorless, aside from the not-quite-right chicken. We did receive two extra orders of crab rangoon (one for an order over $50, and one “as an apology”). Overall, everyone in my party was disappointed. Again.

Please handle your bug issue, pay attention to order details, and check your food quality. Best of luck to you in the future.

Just tried it yesterday for the 1st time. Wonderful food, well prepared and generous servings. Attentive, friendly service. Its great to find a family owned restaurant like this.

Sambood was our after and he was fantastic! And so quick and friendly! Crab Rangoon was delicious too

Update: we visited today and brought a friend from NY and Janice was amazing, and food as always A M A Z I N G. This place is amazing, food, services outstanding! 100% recommended!

Quite possibly the cutest little place in riverview! Our waitress was as adorable as the heart shaped rice she brought us with our curry 💙 so yummy!!!

First time ordering here - heat is on point, flavor is on point, ingredients are fresh. This is by far the best Thai restaurant my wife and I have eaten at in the area. Wonderful!

Food was really good and rich in flavor I got the beef drunken noodle and the pork fried rice and the staff was really nice and friendly

Love this place ! Best Thai food in the area

My first Thai experience that wasn’t just peanut. Large portions, tasted great.

My wife says the Pad Thai was a little different but still good!

I love Chai Yo and was concerned when I saw it was under new management, but we had the same waitress and the food tastes the same. Delicious.

This place truly has the best pad Thai I have ever had. I drive over an hour to pick up food from here.

Great dinner here with an appetizer platter, papaya salad, Pad Thai, and veggie fried rice. Owner gave me a special dessert package when she found out it was my birthday. We will definitely come back again when they return from their 3 week vacation to their homeland. It pays to say a few words in Thai.

So goooooood!!!!

Delicious food, reasonable prices, great service! Try the Thai Tea Boba!

Food and service was top notch

This is a must visit place. So many flavors we had to order many different things. Try the pumpkin curry it was sweet and perfect heat. The heat rating here is on the light end. Their thai hot was more med/hot. But the food was perfect. Out of several hundred thai reviews, in our book this place rates in the top 10 for Florida.

I love coming here. This is my third time and I always enjoy their food. I got the Pad Thai shrimp and it is always delicious. I wish I had more photos of the other food that I had ordered here before. The service is always nice and it’s always quiet and clean. I think it’s worth the money for the amount of food you get. I would recommend if you’re in the Riverview area

Consistently good food and excellent & friendly service.

Friendly staff that are conscious of guests needs. The crab Rangoon was some of the best I’ve had.

Great food, amazing service

I wish I would have a photo of the food that we ordered. I would recommend this place the server was very nice even though she spoke little English. It’s a comforting little spot. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for. I plan to go back.

Delicious. The panang curry is the best around.

I was anxious to try food from here since it had 4.7 stars. Maybe it was my choice of dish but it was so sweet and more like soup. I ordered the Red Thai Curry and I was disappointed. The sweetest I have ever had. Veggies were also overdone. Sorry to say. This was my first time ordering from here.

Sauces are homemade. You literally watch the family make your meal. Fresh rolls, dumplings, curries and pad thai are all superb!

This place is fantastic!!!!

WOW! Me and my family just moved here, we tried this restaurant because it was close and when I tell you the food was amazing, and customer service was great. They have a customer for life!

Cashew chicken is my favorite.
