We’re so glad that we had an opportunity to try Gai Chicken Rice whole visiting San Francisco. We tried their Original Gai (with Chicken Rice and Hainan Ginger/Onion Sauce) and Thai Iced Tea. The Gai meal was very delicious, and the soup, rice and sauce were all nice and flavourful. Thank you so much!!

Tried out the new item “Fai Sando” in April. The price is reasonable and the fried chicken is juicy.

The fried chicken bowl was so yummy. Rice was flavorful and soup came with it. I got it with the default chilli sauce and it was perfect.

Came here for lunch during the weekday. I ordered the Original Gai chicken rice. The service was quick. The chicken rice was delicious. The meat was juicy and tender. And I love the Hainan sauce. Will definitely go back there again!!

Came at the suggestion of a coworker when I told them of my love of dandan noodles. They were indeed really good here – expensive but that’s SF for you sadly. Portion big enough for a hearty meal. The meat is ground chicken but it’s an excellent substitute for pork. Very well made overall. Only suggestion would be to include some chili oil – it came with a little container of sriracha but that’s not quite the same. Will certainly come back and next time ask if they have chili oil.
