If you want delicious authentic Thai food then look no further! Zaya Thai is our go to every Tuesday and we never get less than exceptional service and mouth watering food. If you like Thai ice tea- it’s the best I’ve ever had. The coffee is just as delicious. They have a small but mighty happy hour menu Sun- Thurs 5pm-7pm. I HIGHLY recommend you come and dine at this hidden gem!

We were seated inside, very nice, clean place with minimal decor. I liked the ambiance. Grey and yellow color combo.
Food & drinks everything we ordered was just amazing. Tasted good, looked good. Finger licking yellow curry🤩
Service was pretty quick, and our waitress was very sweet.
Nice experience on my birthday 🙂 they even sang for me 🙂

Great place for date night. They do have Happy Hour specials at their bar. Contemporary decor with a Chic vibe. This Thai place serves pretty good food. I did take a star away due to the deceptive menu items. For example, we ordered the Pumpkin Curry. In most Thai restaurants, the assumption is that when you select your protein, it’s included in the pricing. Here, it’s the opposite. When you order Pumpkin Curry, it’s essentially vegetarian. If you want to add a protein, it will cost you an additional dollar amount added to the existing price.

The taste of the food was good, it’s just a bit pricey.

Just found this place recently, and been there two times afterward! It is absolutely on the top of our Thai places list. Have there Penang and green curries, crying tiger, short ribs, salmon on banana leaves, and few cocktails. Everything was delicious and artfully presented. Salmon was on point and ribs were so soft and flavorful. Craft cocktails were complex and added to the experience.

Let me tell you about my recent delightful experience at Zaya Thai Pantry restaurant! In Danville. The meal was a festival of flavor, with each dish showcasing the beautiful complexity of Thai cuisine.

First up was the Chicken Satay. The chicken, perfectly grilled and tender, was accompanied by a peanut sauce that was both rich and slightly sweet. The subtle warmth of ginger and the aromatic depth of coriander balanced the sweetness perfectly.

The Shrimp Spring Rolls were a delightful textural contrast – packed with a flavorful filling of fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and succulent shrimp. The dipping sauce, with its sweet and tangy notes, was the perfect complement to the spring rolls.

Next came the Chicken Green Curry, a fragrant and flavorful explosion. The base of the curry was infused with lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves, creating a symphony of citrusy and earthy notes. The creamy coconut milk mellowed the spice level, while the green chilies provided a pleasant kick. The chicken in the curry was cooked to perfection, absorbing all the wonderful flavors of the curry paste.

Finally, the Pineapple Fried Rice was a textural and flavorful masterpiece. The fluffy rice was studded with succulent pieces of chicken, sweet pineapple chunks, and savory bits of egg. The use of turmeric lent a beautiful golden hue to the rice, while chilies provided a subtle heat. The interplay of sweet, savory, and spicy was truly delightful..

I also indulged in a decadent Chai Old Fashioned. The warm, spiced notes of chai, infused with cinnamon and other aromatic spices, perfectly complemented the rich and smooth character of the old fashioned. The addition of a cinnamon stick as a garnish provided an extra touch of visual appeal and a delightful aromatic accent with every sip. I had to have a 2nd serving of this drink it was so good.

Service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and very modern with cute decor. Parking was easy.

Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the spices were beautifully balanced. It was a truly memorable Thai dining experience. If you are craving Thai, gotta check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

Found this hidden gem randomly because we were craving some Thai food! This is now on our list of favorite restaurants - the beef short rib was amazing and the dessert was the perfect size. Overall, loved everything and the staff are all attentive and really kind. We will be back

OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!!! Sooooo gooooood! Please go enjoy dinner at this outstanding new restaurant. Danville has lots of restaurants but this one is head and shoulders above any place we have dined at over the past year. We took our family of four, a teen and a tween in tow, and everyone was raving about how good everything was. At first my youngest wanted to order off the kids menu, that had a lot of appealing options for potentially wary kids, but he came around to eating what the grown ups were ordering and he was NOT disappointed. The best dish we ate was the Short Rib Khao Soi and he could not wait to tell everyone who stopped to check on us that he wanted his own plate of that and not a family style share. Ha! It is a must order, do not skip this dish, one of the most divine things I have tasted ever! The coconut crepe dessert was also a standout. We tried that and the mango crepe and while both delicious, we have a serious love of the coconut! We had a lot of dishes off the menu and they all tasted like you were in Thailand eating like you were in your Thai Grandmother's kitchen being spoiled absolutely rotten! The owners and their staff are just darling and we enjoyed meeting them and hearing their story. We wish them the best of luck with their restaurant and we look soooo forward to dining with them again soon!

Amazing quality food, amazing quality venue, very polite staff, great cocktails. Even the bathroom was amazing. Even according to the staff all the entrees are rather large and considered shareable. I was on a date and we split their specialty Beef short rib Khao Soi
