Chaya Thai

The service at this restaurant is great and everything most of the reviewers here say it is. It is a small restaurant run by a very kind lady. She was very attentive to my needs, even making sure to bring me a glass of water while I waited for my to-go order. The food was cooked quickly and tasted great. The dining area, though small, was clean and full of natural light. I noticed there was a high chair available at the far side of the dining room. I look forward to coming here again! Kid-friendliness: I noticed there was a high chair available in the seating area. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the front door of the restaurant.

So far, the best Thai food I've had in Tacoma. The lady who runs it is super sweet. When we were there, she was cooking & serving, & impressively so. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Highly recommend & will go back. ❤️

Best Thai place in tacoma! The owner is so nice and she makes the real thing! She works really hard and is the cook while being the server. She knows what she’s doing!

Our first time here for take out. Lovely owner. Immaculate restaurant and kitchen. Food very tasty. Our only request is more delicious chicken served with the pad thai! Thank you for your hard work yielding wonderful food.

First time here. GPS took me here but got lost a little because there is no sign outside. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner I assume. She was very very friendly and welcoming. They have a great looking menu. I got cashew chicken lunch special and spring rolls. Super tasty. I like the portion sizes and the prices are affordable.

What a delightful little place. Food really hit the spot. Tom Kha was solid!

After reading many reviews of local thai restaurants I ultimately decided to go to this one. I had the red curry and it tasted good. The flavor was on point, the spice was at the right level, and it felt comforting on a cold rainy night. Parking: It was a little difficult to pull into the location since it’s near several major intersections and cars are moving quickly (as to not run a red light). I had to drive around the block twice to get the right timing to safely enter the parking lot. Also, parking was very limited.

The lady working is very sweet. She almost got hit by our car while stopping us to make sure we didn’t leave without a sauce.
