Chaiyo Restaurant, Nelson City

Such a good meal, especially for the price. The angry beef was only $14.50 but had a lot of beef, Thai basil, and had a side of steamed vegetables. The curry puffs were so tasty and fresh. My friend’s Tom yum was tasty and had a lot of veges and chicken. If I was local I’d come all the time, especially since the staff are super nice too.

Really excellent! Modest interior but it doesn't matter at all as the meals are so delicious, nutritious and generously served! My first 5* rating to the the place in Nelson! Well done guys!

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.

Their menu is hit and miss. Affordable and can definitely appreciate the 7$ lunches though. Don't get the "sweet and sour pork" though, for obvious reasons (pictured).

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

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.

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

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.

Sat down to eat my lunch got half way through it and got kicked out because they were closing so had to finish my lunch in the car

Horribly food. Had chicken with a lot of fat and veggies were only cheap salad and carrots and that for 14.50.
