Chai-Yo

$-$$, Asian, Georgian Dublin

User Rating: *** 3.1

Fodor's Review:

Be educated while you eat. There's always something thrilling about getting close up and watching a master at work. The Japanese teppan-yaki area at this classy pan-Asian restaurant on bustling Baggot Street, where the chef cooks your food right on your tabletop, is a feast for the eye as well as the palate. Choose from a selection of scallops, sea bass, steak, teriyaki chicken, and prawns, and watch as a beautiful grilled dish is whipped up before your eyes. The white walls and dark lacquered furnishings give Chai-Yo a serene ambience, enhanced by the delicate glassware and fine, green-washed-porcelain plates. The menu picks the best from Chinese, Thai, and Japanese dishes. The deep-fried crispy quail eggs are a tasty starter, and the king scallops in Thai chili oil with scallion and onion is the place's most popular main course.

Small portions and poor service

Posted by mary_sam from Dublin, Ireland on 12/10/07

Left this restaurant feeling hungry. Chef was friendly, but he was the exception. Waiting staff were sullen and unhelpful, and food/drink was overpriced for the quality/quantity received. Will not be returning to this restaurant and would advise others not to.

Great place, great food, very friendly staff from the Philippines. They have Thai/chinese/Japanese food all well presented and great wine as well, go for the chilian cabernet if you pick any dish, the duck is delicious....
