Chai Yo
7 Caliente Rd, Santa Fe, NM
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Santa Fe, Chai Yo is a family-run Thai gem where the cozy, welcoming atmosphere draws regulars back again and again for complex curries and standout dishes like their legendary shrimp pad Thai and fragrant tom yum soup. Beyond the stellar food, this is the kind of place where you'll want to linger over lunch with friends or family, the kind of spot locals have claimed as their favorite after searching across the region.”

Next time I'll post pics! The food smelled so good when I walked in to pick up my order. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy. My lunch of basil eggplant with chicken was delicious and the smashed cucumber salad had extra touches including black and white sesame seeds and peanuts. Wonderful flavors. Look forward to trying more on the menu.
It was our first time eating here and we had to try their shrimp pad Thai and it was definitely a 10/10. We tried different places in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, I will say that we found our favorite spot. We also tried their pork dumpling and they too, were delicious. The service was amazing and we will be back again soon. DELICIOUSNESS!!
My husband and I had the shrimp rolls with dipping sauce, orange chicken and jasmine rice. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.
Family run casual atmosphere with top notch Thai food. The Curries are complex and delicious. The mushroom appetizer was a standout. And be sure to try the fried chicken
This place is SO good!!! The food is absolutely delicious as are the desserts!! I got the tom yum soup and the som tum papaya salad and both were perfect.. Other on our table got the king oysters and the crab shumai as appetizer and they were super good. The shumai was present well & looked really pretty. The thai tea was delicious and I love that they have an almonf milk option too! My friends got the kao soi which is a yellow curry with fried chicken and it is the ultimate comfort food. The desserts were spectacular too. Love me a good mango sticky rice with a perfect mango and a really good coconut sauce. Honestly this place is so down to earth and not pretentious dispite having an amazing menu with great food and super fresh ingredients. I'd rather drive to El Dorado than try to wait undetermined wait time for getting any Thai at Leo's in Santa Fe lol. They have a nice seating area. Not stupidly loud and the people are so nice! There are quite a lot of options for vegetarians & vegans 🩷
