i ordered the vegetarian and was told they were out of tofu, so i got eggs instead. maybe i should have specified a way i wanted them cooked, but i had wrongly placed my trust in the judgement of the chef. i open up my togo order to find two essentially raw eggs placed on top of rice and veggies. both the veggies and rice were undercooked and overall the meal just made me sad. the broth was my one comfort because it at least, was really tasty.

I really liked the food. Thai chicken looks bland, cause it kind of is. It is supposed to be a light, refreshing meal. This place was good. Big portions. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Only drawback is the markup on everything else. Almost $2 to add an extra 1oz cup of sauce! Almost $4 for a Mexican coke!

First time trying and I can say without hesitation the food was excellent. I ordered The Heights but with the fragrant chicken rice so it was pretty much like The Original except with skinless chicken breast only. The chicken was tender, the rice was flavorful and the sauces and broth took everything to the next level. I’ll definitely come back to try the other dishes.

Tried them for the first time through doordash. Service was fast, the chicken and rice with veggies absolutely fresh and delicious! Their ginger sauce on the side is amazing! Would definitely be ordering from them again!

Really good simple chicken and rice with some healthy options. Staff is very nice. I love ordering with a poached egg and extra sauces on the side. Can’t wait for all the other businesses to open in the area.

I grew up eating Kaw mun Kai ( chicken and rice), one of my favorite Thai dishes! I was excited to see a restaurant specialized on the dish. Maybe my expectation was too high but it was not good! We ordered 2 originals and we got ok rice with very bland shredded chicken! WTH, shredded chicken? And where is the skin? And it was $12.95 each! It tasted like a $3 meal!, honestly! The only thing that was decent was the sauce! Soooo disappointed! Not returning!

Came on lunch time 12:30-1:30 pm. Paid $15 for a plate of 7slices of planko chicken on top of white rice and got some broth, 2 sauces(1 sweet chili/1 I think mayo siracha) and a conifer pickle with onions and maybe jalapeno. 1st the service was meh, I came in inform them it’s my first time never been there. They suggested that I look on a tablet cuz it has pictures of the food. That’s fine and all but I kind of expected a recommendation because all the pictures look the same except the planko. Now the food is ok , the rice was nice but it felt like it was cooked in broth instead of water to make steam rice. It had a flavor that was very light but it didn’t mix well with the plain planko. But once I put the chili and siracha sauce it help a little. Alright so next the sauce the sweet chili was little I got this maybe 2 oz cup but it felt like they got a small spoon and put it in the cup. The siracha was all spice no flavor. And I did t eat that pickle thing. The most placent thing of my experience was the location it’s nice. Wouldn’t recommend it here to friends or family but if people want to eat here it’s not bad, a lil expensive for the taste but it’s ok, go ahead and try it, maybe y’all get a better experience.

When they make it proper, it’s delicious. However, we got an order once and the chicken smelled awful. Like spoiled awful. Employees said it’s been smelling like that for the past day. Really want to go back but not sure I’d risk it with that lack of care for food safety.

Inconsistent. My go-to order is the original with extra chicken, extra cucumbers, and habanero sauce. Sometimes they don’t give extra of what I ordered. Sometimes the cup of broth is only filled halfway. Lately the KMG sauce recipe has been different-It’s more liquid that it was when they first opened-it’s supposed to be more of a thick paste. Today I ordered two of the same orders for me and my fam- they included habanero sauce in one order but not in the other. We dont like this dish without habanero sauce as even with KMG sauce the dish is tasteless and bland.

Finally went here after looking at it for months. Pretty good food but terrible service. We waited 20-25 minutes for our food, which is ok if the food is worth it. What’s not ok was that our food was ready and waiting but they never told us. The place is tiny and they didn’t say anything to us about the food being ready. When I asked the guy who works there if that was or food, he just looked at me and nodded his head with no apologies or emotion. Added another star because the manager came out with two water bottles and a coupon to make up for the other guy, but only after I said something. Rooster and Rice, please train your people better. Not asking for fine dining service, but just asking for the basics to communicate to customers.
