"The food at Chaiyo is decent but not the best Thai in town. We've eaten at Chaiyo off and on for several years. I recommend going here for lunch (if you can find parking) because the prices for their lunch menu are much more reasonable than their dinners. They've also raised prices in general lately though.Well I haven't ordered their sushi, on the Thai side of their menu there's really not a bad item. Their curries and drunken noodles are flavourful and all of vegetables are usually pretty crisp. Any of their entrees can be made with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu so they are definitely vegetarian friendly. Also, their 0 to 10 heat index is definitely accurate for me, spicy starts around a 6 or 7, while a 9 or 10 can leave you sweaty.If eating in the restaurant for lunch, their service is typically attentive so it does make for a good location near the UT campus for a quick lunch.If you order take-out from Chaiyo, *make sure they've given you everything you've ordered* as I found at tonight (2/19/22), if they forgot to include something in your bag and you don't discover it until you're home, they won't issue a refund (unless you return to the restaurant which, seriously, how much of a pain in the butt can they make it"
