It’s been a few months since my fiancee and I have been in to Chanya’s and they were apparently making some awesome renovations and menu updates since then!! The inside atmosphere is so cozy and chic! The owner built this entire seated table bench out of recycled wood. Speaking of the owners they’re super friendly, also run a Thai Massage business in town, and have a lot more awesome cultural food ideas for the future! But you know what’s in now?? POKE BOWLS!!! Besides just awesome Thai Food (Are go to was the Pad See Ew which a wide rice noodle and saucy dish we kind of likened to like a “Thai version of stroganoff”), there’s actually all sorts of other awesome Asian dishes and Asian fusion cuisine with the expanded menu!! Poke bowls are originally Hawaiian and is basically just deconstructed sushi in a giant bowl!! They have a literally GIANT MENU where you can “Build your own Bowl” or pick off their awesome creations!! We came back originally hearing of local poke bowls in town being a thing and wanting to take some to go for a date and movie night at home, and tho it was super tempting to stay In and enjoy the new atmosphere, with awesome new menu items like chicken katsu curry, takoyaki, omelette with rice we are DEFINITELY going to be back WAY more often!! Also tho all their desserts sound good and we got a preview an upcoming seasonal fav, the sweet rice and mango I added a picture of two orders we got...just looks and tasted GORGEOUS!! The rice is like 2 different colors and there’s so much mango and TWO cherries on top!! Such vibrancy just immediately put a smile on my face and that was before I even tasted it!! Definitely stop in and try the incredible wide variety of food they’ve got going on at Chanya’s!! They’re even open on Sundays!

Loved! We got ours to go. The lady on the phone was kind but understood very little English so ordering in person where you can point to the menu would probably help... so if the pictures have changed which made me sad because the picture was this think crispy chicken but I got battered nuggets. But the flavor was great and made up for that. Nothing was super spicy so we did a bit of spice to our which we don’t mind doing bc we didn’t have to worry about it being to spicy for our kids. We look forward to our next time!

Birthday celebration My co worker was celebrating a birthday and chose Chanyas. We ordered so many different kinds of food and everything was delicious! The owner sang to our party and brought out dessert. We will definitely be back!

Wow, wonderful. I have tried multiple dishes, all good. The Beef Pho, yes...Pho is amazing. Also love the Beef Panang. I also enjoy interacting with the staff (my favorite staff interaction probably in 15 years and many miles around). The interaction is witty and family like. Extra love given in the dishes as demonstrated by the picture.

If you haven't tried this place. It's a must! I live just a couple of houses away and could smell the food when I got home from work and already knew where we were eating for dinner—great atmosphere, food, and service.

The food is to die for! Orange chicken was good. The chicken and rice with peanut sauce was the BEST peanut sauce we've ever had. Crab Rangoon cured my cravings - they were well balanced and not overly sweet like alot of others places offer. We had the fried banana with fried ice cream for dessert and it was phenomenal! Another member of our party had a pho dish that we all tried and loved as well. The staff were so friendly and helpful! We can't wait to go back!!

My wife had gone here with our daughter a few weeks ago and said great things so the rest of the family came today to give it a try and it was really good! It was after the lunch rush so there wasnt a lot of people there, and the server gave us plenty of time to decide on what we wanted. My son and daughter ordered more traditional thai dishes, and my wife and i had Poke Bowls. They were a little different than what i was used to but were very good! They were less rice based and more veggie based than what im used to but there was plenty of food and it was very good. A nice change of pace. We will definitly be coming back.
