Chaiyo's Thai and Sushi Restaurant

Chaiyo's restaurant is the hidden sushi and thai restaurant of Knoxville. Located near UT campus on James Agee Street is the best sushi and thai food ever!!! Did I say ever?!! I first visited this restaurant on a whim from reviews on Urbanspoon while driving around with my husband. We didn't want to drive to West Knoxville for savory sushi so we decided to try Chaiyo's and we've been hooked since then. The restaurant is small and quaint but don't let that fool you because the food is flavorful and can pack a spicy punch that will clear your sinuses for weeks. When you are seated you will notice a wall of photos with stars located on the kitchen outer wall. You can order your food from 0 to 5 stars for novice spicy food eaters. Or, you can take the challenge and add even more spice, some risking their taste buds to 100 stars! We on the other hand stick to 1 to 2 stars on the spicy rating and still love how the food taste. Our favorites are pad thai with beef and from the sushi menu a james roll (the only sushi roll you will compare others too) and a super crunch roll. The James roll is shrimp tempura, avocado, and spice crab with tempura flakes on the outside of the roll. The super crunch is a deep fried roll. It has Eel, salmon, crab, scallion, smelt roe, and cream cheese. And you can't forget to start your meal with the crab wonton. They have a sweet taste which will melt in your mouth and make you visit this restaurant again and again.
