Located in El Dorado, Santa Fe, Chai Yo is more than just a restaurant; it’s the culmination of a journey my wife and I began when we first met while I was studying in Thailand. It was there that I discovered not only the rich culture and cuisine of Thailand but also the woman I would build a life with. After starting a family and settling in this vibrant community, we dreamed of creating a place that would share our love for food and the connections it fosters.

With our combined experience in the restaurant industry and a deep appreciation for community and culture, we set out to offer something special: a blend of Thai-inspired dishes and a variety of other Asian flavors, all crafted with the freshest ingredients. Our menu is a celebration of the diverse tastes and traditions we cherish, offering both the bold flavors of Thai cuisine and the comforting dishes from neighboring regions.

At Chai Yo, we believe food is a way to bring people together. It's not just about what’s on the plate; it's about building connections and sharing a love of culture. We’re proud to be a part of El Dorado, where we’ve planted our roots and raised our family, and we’re excited to welcome both longtime locals and visitors to experience the warmth and flavors we’ve cultivated.

Every meal at Chai Yo is an invitation to join our family at the table. Whether you're here for the first time or returning for another taste of home, we hope you feel the love and care we put into every dish. Welcome to Chai Yo — where great food and great company come together in perfect harmony.
