First time here. Ordered chicken curry. All 10 pieces of chicken had gristle and tendon bits on them. Not sure what happened. I could not eat my food. Onions not done, curry sauce taste just ok. For a first time visit I am disappointed.

The food here is so good!!! I love the pink drink and the curry and the Classic combo I ordered! Also the place is really nice and clean and service is great and nice too! Will be definitely coming back here!

"Gai" is the Thai word for "Chicken," and this place has perfected Thai Chicken dishes in almost a fast food format. I believe that it is family run, but the concept would probably franchise well. I love this place, and I would recommend that everyone should try it.

I don't give 5 stars often but I really enjoyed the speciality dish I had. So much flavor! Definitely a must try place.

Great selection of drinks! We got the chicken dish, mango sticky rice and drinks. All are very tasty!Must stop by when you are in the area.The dining area is all packed, so we drove to a nearby park and had a good lunch on picnic table. Didn’t take a picture of the food as they were all boxed up.

I’ve been craving Hainanese chicken rice ever since I heard about the dish. Even with my high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by how GOOD this Khao mun gai is! I ordered the take two: half poached breast, half crizp. The breast meat was moist and tender with a delicate flavor, which pairs well with the standard dipping sauce. The crizp coating was crispy AND light. Naturally, it was more flavorful than the poached chicken, without being to salty or greasy. The chicken rice is a bit greasy, but that’s what makes it taste good. Jasmine notes complemented the savory chicken flavor. I also ordered a side of broccoli because I don’t eat cukes, which is the veg they serve it with. The broccoli is a vibrant green, and more firm than tender. I did not try the chicken broth because I don’t eat cilantro (coriander leaf) either. It is easy to pluck off, and doesn’t contaminate the dish, for those who also don’t like cilantro. If I return to Sacramento, I plan to return for another satisfying meal.

The steamed tofu and veggies was great, I was really glad to see they have a veggie option. I'm pretty sure the rice is still cooked in chicken stock, but I can't complain since chicken is in the name of the restaurant!

I really like this place. The food is super authentic. When I come here I always get the "lean" on the menu which is just the skinless chicken white meat and it tastes pretty good you can eat it with their sauce they have but I usually just eat it with their hot sauce(you have to ask for that) it's really good if you like to dip your chicken in a little spice. The rice that comes with it is not no original white rice you would think they serve just like almost every Asian restaurant do but let me you tell you there rice is pretty damn good its like seasoned with some chicken seasoning or something. I like the little sliced cucumbers they add to have some veggies as a little side. They also give a side of soup it's a chicken broth soup I believe and that also is very good. You can even add your leftover rice in your soup if you eaten more chicken instead of the rice since they do add a good amount of rice in it. The wait time to pick it up took like 15-20 minutes they said and its worth the wait other than that I'd rate it a 10/10 if you like a good authentic meal

This place is actual heaven. If you haven't gotten food here yet you're missing out. It's simple perfection.

Fantastic flavors! Add a side of curry puffs or tarro puffs to every meal!
