Chai-Yo

Chai-Yo Review

Be educated while you eat. There's always something thrilling about getting close up and watching a master at work. The Japanese teppanyaki 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, with the Asian tapas a good eat-and-go option. The miso soup with tofu, seaweed, and spring onions is a simple but tasty starter, and the green shell mussels and pineapple curry is a chef speciality.
