Chai Yo in North Norfolk

Great tasty food. Friendly service.

Very nice inside, lots of Thai artwork and sculptures, great atmosphere. Had lunchtime two course special which was very good value at 13.50 a head. All the food was delicious, fresh and tasty Thai Curries and apetizers. The hostess was lovely and service perfect.

Did not even bother answering the phone when they were open! Must not need new customers. Found alternative place to eat that did want out £150 of business.

We had a lovely family meal for my husband's birthday. Great food catered for my family's Vegan, Vegetarian and meat eaters dietary requirements . Great atmosphere and brilliant service. Highly recommended. Still great

Such excellent service and amazing food! Will definitely be back soon! The food was cooked to perfection and you could tell it was all very fresh!

Really nice find! Recommended by locals and well worth it! Quick to serve and so friendly to my kids.

Fantastic Thai food. Not the most modern of dining rooms but pleasant, clean and very friendly service. We had two starters, two mains, one side dish and one rice. They were all delicious! Add in a bo ttle of rosé, the bill came to £72, excellent value for money. When we visit Sheringham a visit here is a must, it never disappoints.

It was the only place open at 5.30pm so we went in here rather than the place we planned to go to. What a pleasant surprise. We were served by a very welcoming Spanish lady who made the experience doubly enjoyable. The food standard was excellent and for a reasonable price. Portions were spot on. Red curry and the ginger chicken especially good, noodle and rice portions plentiful. It is amazing the added value that staff can add to a restaurant. I would have given 10 stars for the service alone.

We have just eaten dinner here this evening. A very good experience. The dishes we chose were all excellent. Good portion sizes too. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Recommended

Wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal here. very polite service & excellent food

Our first visit but certainly not the last. Everything was quite perfect, decor, service and food. Staff made us feel so special.

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, pleasant atmosphere - the thai green curry and garlic pepper curry were excellent!

we have been once!! very lovely stuff food they were fantastic we'll be back!!

Amazing food, lovely service and atmosphere. The vegetarian and vegan options are outstanding. Worth travelling for food this fantastic.

My family and I have just had the most enjoyable meal here. The service was so friendly and efficient, and it would have been difficult to challenge the quality of any of the several dishes that we had, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The restaurant has the feel of a good old fashioned Thai restaurant that is still so appealing. The menu is extremely comprehensive. We would heartily recommend it.

Stopped here for a birthday meal with my husband and 7 year old daughter. The staff couldn't have been more lovely, warm welcoming, polite and engaging even with my 7 year old. The place was lovely and clean with a nice atmosphere even though we ate when it just opened at 5pm so only a few tables occupied. Restaurant filled up by around 6pm but the older lady serving made sure she visited each table taking warmly with everyone. The food was delicious, the batter on the tempura prawns was wonderful! Everything we ate was perfect! Thank you x

Popped in for lunch after a 13 mile hike. Had a green tai curry it tasted good. Was pleased with food and friendly service.

fave Norfolk Thai spot - lovely people and delicious food

Fantastic lunch menu at great value prices. We often eat here as the food is superb and the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Loveliest staff, such a friendly and warm place! There is soo many options on the menu, with a nice selection of vegan options too! I had the sweet and sour tofu and bean sprouts. Honestly the best Thai I've had!! I will definitely go again, and I really recommend!

We had jjust finished a wonderful trip on the North Norfolk Railway's Christmas lights special and wanted a meal locally - being Tuesday many establishments were shut. We had been referred to Chai Yo by one of the NNR staff and so went along. The place opened at 5pm and it was 7pm when we arrived - and it was empty. Nevertheless we went in and received a very warm greeting. The service was superb and the choices (as often in a Thai restaurant) were huge. We chose Tempura vegetables, vegetable Pad Thai, king prawns in garlic and Laarb (diced chicken 'salad' in thai spices, lemongrass and citrus (very hot). It all came out at once, as asked for, and was, simply, fantastic. Great flavours in everything. The tempura batter was so light I'm surprised it did not float. The food was perfectly cooked, nice and hot (temperature) and the spice heat was perfect. Accompanied by a glass of pinot grigio and jasmine tea (I was driving) we were left amazed, gratified and full. When the bill came for £55 we were also very happy - great food, great service and great price. Next visit to Sheringham we will book a table. This is honestly the best Thai I have tasted in the UK bar none.

Great service and really tasty food. Super friendly and kind with our young children who also loved their first taste of Thai food.

Very often eat here when in Sheringham. The food is always good and tasty. The service is attentive but not pushy. Food is always served with a smile.

My husband and l dropped into this Thai restaurant for lunch. Very well priced menu of £13.50 each for two courses. A good choice of starters and mains. Excellent service and the food came up quickly and very hot. We had a soup and duck pastry for starters. Then we both had a pad thai for mains and felt it was one of the tastiest we'd ever had. Would definitely return and it made a lovely very well priced meal after a roam through the streets and a walk on the beach at Sheringham.

What an amazing meal! Mixed starter, chicken red Thai curry. Garlic prawns and big noodles, wine, beer and whisky coffees. All brilliantly presented and served with a smile. Thank you 🤩 We loved it all x

After reading some negative reviews we were a bit sceptical but decided to give it a go, so glad we did as the food was amazing and served quickly the service was great, staff were friendly.

We had a lovely evening at this restaurant, service,food and atmosphere was 100%. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Friendly welcome and then downhill from there on. We waited about 90 minutes for our main meal…I think we would still be there if we hadn’t kept asking where our food was. The food was OK, nothing more…certainly not up to the standard of many Thai restaurants I’ve eaten in. They said they had a large party in that was causing the issue, but it looked about 12 people maximum and the restaurant was only 1/2 full. Oh dear!

Amazing food but laughable service! Shown to our table but after 10 mins we had to ask for the menu. Starters came out, no plates, no cutlery. Asked for cutlery, we were brought plates so went to get our cutlery. We asked for our drinks twice after ordering- they finally came out with our main meal (very watered down apple and pineapple juice for the kids so they weren’t impressed!) Curries came out but no rice, so had to ask after a while and then waited so long that we had almost finished our curries. My daughter wanted a 2nd starter as her main as there were no ribs for mains, but after the 3rd time of trying to explain this she gave up and ate the ribs on her own while we waited, and then eventually her rice on its own when it finally arrived! Don’t get me wrong, delicious food and lovely people but I felt they were all in training.

Good food, great friendly staff

Great food, excellent service, fantastic selection, good portion sizes and not over priced. Good authentic Thai food. They also cater for all dietary requirements and the menu is very clear on what is suitable for specific needs. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal

Excellent service,atmosphere,value and food.Nothing too much trouble.Will certainly go again when we visit Sheringham. Jackie and John

The food was amazing the starters and the main were very nice the staff were so kind and nice and everything look clean and tidy and the bathroom was clean. I would go there again

The service was excellent, the food was delicious, I had the chicken satay and my husband had the ribs, I had the Thai green chicken curry my husband had a beef dish, we shared sticky rice, Pad Thai and a side of spring greens with chilli. Unfortunately they let themselves down by bringing the bill without it being asked for! We had planned to have dessert but they seemed to want us out, despite spending a lot of money. Also there was no light in the ladies toilet, which are now in desperate need of a refurb, as they are looking not at all nice. We will be back for the food, and hopefully the next time they won’t be in a rush to get us to leave. On a positive note, allergies are well catered for.

Absolutely shambolic evening. Didn't seem like the staff knew what they were doing. Took us 45mins to get our starters then another 40mins for our main courses. Food wasn't great when it arrived either. Pork toast was greasy, sauces on our main courses weren't very nice and greasy too. We were there for 1hr 45mins in total and they would only give us £5 off the bill. Not happy

Friendly people and excellent food. A gem of the community

Nice restaurant, great service, particularly from the young girl, who was super lovely (albeit a tad young for evening service). Being picky, my duck was extremely fatty, but the rest of the party had a great meal.

Best chicken dish ever, lovely helpful staff. DELICIOUS.

Delicious food at a great price. We popped in for lunch and were very pleased that we did.

Met up with friends for an early evening meal and catch up. Food was exceptional and service excellent. I have eaten here many times and am never disappointed. We were not rushed so were able to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. A must, for locals and tourists alike .

Delicious and authentic Thai food! Highly recommend. Great choice of options for vegetarians. Celebrated a birthday here and the staff were so lovely - thanks again for making it so special.

Stopped here for lunch on a very wet day in Sheringham. Very good lunch menu. Food very tasty. Service excellent. Prices very reasonable. Would recommend. Menu clearly labelled for ingredient intolerance.

Lovely little restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended 👌 👍

Lovely food, made to feel very welcome, will return . Visited while on holiday, we went back more than once. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lovely food, made to feel very welcome, will return.

Ordered 2 dishes with 3 chilli’s and we had to send it back as no heat or flavour. They cooked a fresh lot with lots of heat and apart from that no flavour. Dissapointed. Staff lovely but stay away if you love thai food

Had a brilliant 2 course lunch Satay chicken +Thai chicken green curry Pork toast + coconut chicken curry Food was absolutely brilliant Great service We were visiting for the day We will be back again another day

We have visited this restaurant several times over the past year. The food is superb, fresh and tasty. Excellent service and friendly staff. This really is a little gem in a wonderful town.

Wow, what a fabulous restaurant we found on our stay. Food was so fresh and tasted so nice. Attentive service, and very lovely staff. Best Thai we have ever had.

What a fabulous authentic Thai meal - great food and service - will def be back to visit again - fave was the Thai dumplings and fish panang curry

Fed up with pub grub on our recent visit to Sheringham we booked a table at the Chai Yo and weren’t disappointed. Excellent in all ways- service, menu and quality of food. Wonderful Thai food.

Great food excellent service will definitely go back 💯

Restaurant Right in the middle of the high street Group of 3 of us ate Saturday lunchtime, friendly& accommodating service, great tasting food, so we decided to detour to eat in again on our way back home m only disappointment is they slough it’s only a low step in & then the restaurant is on one level , it was difficult getting the wheelchair in even without me in it and they have no accessible toilet ( in fact their toilets are all up a couple of flights of stairs ( there is a hand railon both sides to assist! Delicious food at a reasonable price , if I lived local It would be a regular 😊

Lovely food....well presented and very tasty!! Service was great with very friendly staff at a reasonable price....would definitely visit again!! Nice atmosphere and very clean too!

The starters were really nice. I had the duck pancakes. The sweet and sour chicken was way to sweet and a bit sickly.

We had seen the reviews and as we love Thai food thought we would give it a try. My word the food was amazing. The service was second to none a packed restaurant speaks for itself. Very good value for money. Highly recommended

Both food and service were perfect. We had ribs,dumplings and tempura prawns to start and beef penang and chilli seafood for mains. Service was perfect and all reasonably priced. Keep it up.

This is a very good Thai restaurant right in the centre of Sheringham! We ordered take outs on two occasions & were delighted with our food both times. The dishes were freshly prepared & beautifully cooked…they had the perfect level of heat/spices & the vegetables retained that lovely crunch. We called to collect both orders & the staff were so polite, friendly & super efficient. The restaurant looked cosy, comfortable & was busy when we were waiting to collect our orders. All prices are very reasonable & take out order time very fast.

My wife and I visited Chai Yo for the first time on a Tuesday evening in late October. The a la carte menu is extensive and we opted for a couple of starters (duck in crisp pancakes and butterfly prawns), a couple of main courses (Garlic chicken and Sweet & Sour KIng Prawns) plus rice and noodles. All of the food was very enjoyable with good portion sizes. The drinks list is limited and it seemed that there was no option to buy bottles of wine, only 175ml or 250ml glasses. The dry rose and Pinot Grigio were very palatable.

I stopped by this evening, as it looked a nice Thai restaurant on the outside and the menu sounded good and was reasonably priced. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and that really does make a huge difference when you go out for a meal. It was lovely. I chose a chicken parcel starter with sweet chilling sauce and it was lovely. Then I had a Pad Thai with prawns. That was really tasty and light. I wasn't rushed to finish and I enjoyed a relaxing evening and a tasty meal. I always judge Thai restaurants on their Pad Thai and I'll definitely be going back there and trying something else, next time I'm in Sheringham.

Fantastic Thai food would definitely recommend to go here for a meal

We’ve passed this Thai many times and always wanted to give it a try. We visited on a busy Wednesday evening when they were serving their buffet, but we chose A la cart. The menu is extensive, the food nicely cooked and the 4 dishes we had tasted nice, with no over-powering flavours. Portions are very small (epitomised by the tiny, useless napkins), especially the rice, which makes the meal expensive. The all-you-can-eat buffet represents better value at £20 pp.

We were in Sheringham visiting for the day and were after something a little different for lunch. We took in the lunchtime special, which was excellent value. The food was great, and the experience really enjoyable.

This was our second time in the restaurant, the food was once again very good, but the service times were shocking. We waited 1hr 40mins before our mains arrived, one of our party of 8 left with her son before the food arrived because he couldn’t wait any longer. We just kept being told “it’s coming now” when it clearly wasn’t. Also, others who arrived after us somehow got served before us. Such a shame as we regularly go to Sheringham and love Thai food, but it really spoiled everyone’s evening. At least one other table near us waited even longer than we did.

We looked at previous reviews and had a gamble, we thought it was quite expensive, the food itself tasted more like Chinese than proper Thai food, staff were all lovely but we wouldn't eat here again starters were good, main was nice but as stated it was like having a Chinese and not authentic Thai.

Lovely romantic settings, great food (panang and garlic chilli were delicious) and excellent service. On top of it all, very reasonable pricing. Things to improve potentially: use food warmers for the hot dishes

We have been with family to celebrate a birthday in the restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful. Although the restaurant was busy we were served promptly and efficiently.

Authentic Thai food, always delicious. Friendly people... lovely place.

We visited on Thursday evening. We had a warm welcome and soon settled into choosing our food with a bottle of wine. The starters and main meals were served promptly and were hot and very tasty. The staff are very courteous and friendly. Lovely atmosphere and great food. No faults at all.

Lovely people serving genuine tasty Thai food at very good prices.

The food is superb! Try the duck starters and the, i know i have spelt this wrong, Tamadrin duck and Honey pork. Beautiful. Definitely going back.

Lovely food - ask for Thai style when ordering to get it more spicy! Super friendly staff. Would go again and recommend to friends!

Terrible service. Like really bad. the place was also dirty but we were starving and far way from out place of stay. The food was incorrect and cold and took an hour to arrive. and they did not even compensate us for who they treated us and the constant issues related to our dine in experience.

Bloody love this place often ride up here from Diss for this also like Sheringham Top food and very polite people And sometimes I'm on me own but they still treat ya real good. Food unreal... Thanks keep it up... Billy Table for one man ....

Great food, delivery and dine in always amazing quality. The staff is absolutely lovely and friendly. We come here regularly and it's never failed us.

Popular restaurant that caters well for large family groups / parties. Deceptively large with as much space upstairs as down. Mainly Thai cuisine with a few Malaysian and other dishes, excellent quality food and great service. Booking likely necessary in tourist season and especially for larger groups but we managed to get in with only a day’s notice when most places we tried were fully booked. We paid £200 for 3 courses for 6 people with drinks, could have saved a bit by sharing rice between 2 as quite a bit left due to large portion.

Good Thai meal, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff.... highly recommended

Wonderful place to dine. Eaten here for many years while on holiday and can honestly say .The food is gorgeous and presented so beautifully. The service excellent so polite and attentive. 10 out of 10 Chai-Yo. 😁😁

On holiday and fancied a Thai meal and must say I was not disappointed at this place , the food was absolutely superb and tasty , great service and atmosphere I would suggest to anyone .

Visited here with my parents yesterday and was a little disappointed...The menu that was outside was not offered inside - we were given a Lunch Express Menu whereas a full menu was not offered at all. The Lunch Express menu had some of the more popular options, which was nice but my wife was excited to have something that was not on the menu. The food was served quickly and the staff were friendly, but the food was only slightly above average - some good flavours in there but they could have added more vegetables and meat to pad out the noodles etc. I would go again, but more accuracy on the menu would have been appreciated.

Busy place so service may be a little slow. Food was excellent and staff helpful and pleasant.

a lovely dining experience. the staff were friendly and super efficient. the meal was faultless throughout. we would highly recommend this one to anyone staying in the area.. thanks for a good night out.

Good authentic Thai food and people.

Loved everything about this restaurant,from the lovely greeting ,to the exceptional food and drink,will definitely be back

Second time at this lovely restaurant. Enjoyable tasty food. Nice polite service.

My favourite holiday eatery. Lovely food, excellent service from friendly staff. The menu is extensive and varied.

Very slow service, food is nice but an incredibly long wait from starter to main. Apparently there is only 1 her and because it was raining, people were coming in. They did not take into account that we had booked and were there long before...

Incredibly slow service, 30 minutes to get our starter which is okay, but over an hour for our main course wasn’t okay. The waiter completely messed up the drinks order, I never actually what I wanted! There was apparently only one chef on and it was raining so there were several walk ins. We had booked, but the walk ins were getting served food before us, as were the customers who were loudly complaining. It was meant to be our highlight meal, as it is one of our favourite restaurants, sadly, after tonight we won’t be going back. The food was nice enough, but not up to their usual standard.

Been to this restaurant regularly over the years and always look forward to our next visit. That was until tonight. Arrived at 7 15 and ordered drinks that came but not really what we had ordered but the waiter did not seem to understand what we wanted. A wine and soda , a lager shandy and Diet Coke which never did come. Waiter took our order but could only do it by numbers on the menu. After Approx 30 minutes our starter came. Food was lovely. After another hours wait and several excuses that there was only one chef and it was raining ! we got our main course. The thing that really finished us off was that people who came after us and complained got their main course before us ! The main course when it did arrive after an hour wait was good but by this time we were so hungry that we did not enjoy the meal. If they only had one chef on and were clearly struggling to serve people why did they still let walk ins come in ? Our whole evening was spoilt by terrible service. Sorry to say however good the food is we will not return after this.

Nice service, great food. I have had Thai food in different places over the years and this was equal to the best. Yum yum!

Was very disappointed to be chased into Sainsburys by restaurant owner advising card payment had not gone through, despite paying bill with tip in cash. Not cool.

Amazing Enjoyed every single bite. Ordered 5 dishes form the menu. Tasty Authentic Lovely food.

Have now used this restaurant several times and it’s so good I think we’d have to visit when we’re in Sheringham. Excellent service, friendly staff and the food is fresh and so tasty. So much choice and reasonably priced.

Great Thai food. Having had mixed experiences in the UK I was really happy with this. I’ve been to various bits of Thailand over the years. So I’m a bit fussy. So is my other half. Both very happy!

Very good Thai food place. We can see lots of locals of all ages coming to eat there. Quick service too.

1 Star only based on times displayed on website, not on food. Website says they are open from 12noon until 3pm (Wed - Sun) yet we visited today to find different times displayed on their door. Certainly not open Wednesday lunch time🙁

Went for a buffet with gf for a date night was perfect lovely food I tried everything and reasonably priced drinks. Really enjoyed the experience and was lovely atmosphere and beautiful table setting. Will deffo be coming again and will recommend to all friends and...

Food very average, service appalling.

The place looks nice, the staff is very friendly, but the food was disappointing, unfortunately. There were so many shortcuts in the dishes than it was hard to recognise them. We ordered beef jungle curry, but it didn’t have all the ingredients it usually should.

Fabulous food. Excellent service.
