Gai Chicken Rice

Absolutely delicious food! The chicken was tender and flavorful, as was the vegetable soup. Wonderful lunch spot!

This prob one of the best chicken rice I have found away from Singapore! Rice is well done, chicken is good! And if you are a fans of thai ice milk tea, they even hav it here! End up I have 4 meal within a week in this chain!

Love their chicken breast and thigh. They are both pretty tender. Hainan sauce is also a must!! Will go again when in SF!

Was looking for a quick bite to eat near my new apartment ..ran into the sign … decided to try them out…. I stood at the counter for a few before being acknowledged (but there wasn’t any other customers in line). The greeting wasn’t the friendliest, I attempted to give smiles & convo asking if they sold Cafè Du Monde Beignets… since the coffee had such a massive display. She was clueless even after I pointed out the coffee. I went on to state it’s my 1st time visiting and I’m new to SF to help her improve to no avail. I informed her that I thought the Basil chicken or The Gai Sansho sandwich looked interesting; which did she recommend? She stated I should try the chicken sandwich. I looked at the picture confirmed what came with it (seasoned waffle fries, a can drink, & a choice of sauce). I didn’t see the sauce choice listed only pictured. I asked the cashier what are the choices as if I didn’t just tell her it’s my FIRST TIME VISITING… she mentioned two as if she didn’t know herself what the choices of sauce are. I went with Spicy Mayo & Sweet Chili! Cashier gave me my receipt & informed me of my order number. I waited on my food and observed the atmosphere & took pictures … location is in the thick of the city (construction near by, neighborhood Fentanyl friendly, and shoppers, but once inside it’s quiet, relaxing, & a little opportunity to shut off the city. Cashier calls my number & I take my food to go ((she’s still dry & not engaging…no thank you come again, welcome to the neighborhood…nothing)
I paid cash of $15 . Got back to my apartment, opened my food: Great portions, nice presentation, & fresh ingredients!! I picked up this massive sandwich & applied the spicy Mayo to a bite and it was delicious but the perfect partner for the slaw, pickles, bun, and seasoning on the chicken is the sweet Thai chili …. Ohhhhhh myyyyy word….. do yourself a favor & go try this sandwich combo … the marriage with the seasoned waffle fries leaves nothing but joy in your mouth!! You will not be disappointed… I’m going again today to get another sandwich! 😍🙃🤤 the sandwich is 5 star for sure!! The service needs improvement.

Delicious and simple combinations served in an aesthetic interior.

This restaurant just serves chicken plus rice, and does it really well. I ordered the Crispy Gai, which was like chicken katsu over chicken-y rice, with some julienned cucumbers. There was a choice of sauces, but they weren't really necessary in my opinion. The chicken was tender and juicy and the rice was perfectly cooked. It came in a cardboard food container and with a little cup of chicken broth to drink. I also had some Thai iced tea, which tasted as expected. My total was a bit over $20.

There's a restroom and plenty of seating, with options for people dining solo and groups. The interior is also nicely decorated if you'd like to post some photos on social media.
