Chai Yo Thai 11695 Boyette Road, Riverview, FL 33569

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
