Chaiyo Restaurant, Nelson City

Beef satay noodles, more like peanut watery soup with beef i couldnt eat, noodles well over cooked. The carrot was cut too thick so it more like a carrot stick.. my daughter got a lemin honey chicken dish which was that bad it was thrown before i could get a photo. The chicken cutlet was burnt and the so called lemon sauce tasted metallic.. i will never step foot in this place again.

Currently my favorite thai restaurant. Wontons are nice but watch the sauce as the lid has come off a few times on me. Cant get past the fried rice, love it. I have asked for a bit of chilli for taste on two occasions to two different staff but they didn't seem to understand and I got medium hot fried rice. Good sized portions. Still going back but I put my own chilli on.

Just popped in for lunch and they were closed. Please can you update your opening hours.

Absolutely delicious food. My husband and I both had the Garlic Prawn (shrimp) Fried Rice. They were able to tailor it to different heat / spiciness preferences. I had the mild and my husband had the medium. The plates came quickly. I tried both, and they had plenty of flavor. I forgot to take a picture before we ate, but the plates had a perfect mix of rice, veggies, and prawns / shrimp. I would say that is a generous American / hungry Kiwi portion. If a person has a smaller appetite, I would recommend sharing the dinner portion we ordered for ourselves. Thai milk tea was yum. The service was lovely. The person who helped us had a happy-go-lucky, upbeat spirit, and the cooks were incredibly fast at making the orders. If we lived in Nelson, this would probably be a regular place for my husband and me. I would recommend the place :)

Hadn't been here for years, seemed to be under New Management.When I asked what vegan options they had I was shown the vegetarian section of the menu...:-/ Clarified if they understood the difference; not really...Ordered something with tofu and they told me it was vegan as tofu was egg. What.:-/ Do not recommend

Omg i had the crunchy chicken and it was yummy. And a heaped plateful. It was my birthday so we dined in. We were the only ones dining. Other ppl were coming in for their takeaways. If i could make a suggestion. Make a caraffe of water available. Some of the dishes are hot and you need a drink but all they offered was a cup for your bought water

We had takeaway, good value, tasty food, we'll go back again

Their menu is hit and miss. Affordable and can definitely appreciate the 7$ lunches though. Don't get the sweet and sour pork" though

Super friendly staff. I ordered one of the specials for takeaway and didn’t have to wait for long. The food was tasty, the portion was decent and definitely worth the price.

We live just down the street so this is our regular. Always really tasty! And fast to make. Big portion sizes. Pad thai is our current fav dish
