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 miso soup with tofu, seaweed, and spring onions is a simple but tasty starter, and the king scallops in Thai chili oil with scallion and onion is the most popular main course.

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.
