Go-Chin Khao Man Gai

I walked around East village area and found a restaurant that my friend recommended. As a Khao man gai lover, I highly recommend to eat at Go ChinI ordered Khao Man Gai PI-set (combo/Poached chicken & Fried Chicken (Gai Tod) and Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) & Fried Pork Belly (Moo Tod) they come with ginger rice, sliced cucumbers, cilantro on the top, home made soup and sauceI also ordered Fried Chicken Skin, Shrimp Dumplings and Tom Zabb Pork ribsAll the food was flavorful and mouthwatering. The potion was big and good to share with others on the table as I ordered a lotThe staffs were very attentive and friendly welcoming and the atmosphere was comfy and comfortable Definitely come back next time

I was at this excellent new Thai spot recently on a Wednesday as I wanted a lighter comforting meal. They specialize, as per the name, in Khao Man/Mun Gai/; the Thai version of Hainanese chicken rice. I've had dish prior in a bunch of spots as well as in an old school spot in Chiang Mai and it's a tasty comforting dish. Along with the general poached variety, they also do a fried and grilled version as well as a few other dishes, such as some very tasty sounding noodles which I might get the next time. The staff was really friendly here and the place is small with room for maybe 10 people in most in back with most people it seems doing take out.I went as noted with the classic Khao Man Gai with poached chicken, ginger rice, cucumber, and cilantro all served with homemade soup and a signature soy bean sauce. The dish is normally $14 but I added liver which was an extra $2. The price is a bit higher than a few other places but hey it's Gramercy so expect it to be a bit more. The chicken was tender and excellent while the rice was notably better than many other places having a very strong ginger flavor. I find that many spots tone it down but not here which was very welcome. Speaking of not toning stuff down, their soy bean sauce is outstanding here and might be the highlight of the dish. It's quite strong with a good chili kick and was in short delicious. The soup on the side was good though I have preferred this soup elsewhere. The extra liver added was well cooked and tasty, though possibly not worth it for $2 more (I do wish it came with it like in Elmhurst.)It surprising to find a spot like this around here as the food here was authentically Thai and they pulled no punches with the spice level or flavors. Mid 4 for the area and I hope they do well.

Pretty affordable spot for a casual little meal! Everything together pictured came out to just over $40 (after tip). The meats were really juicy and paired well with the sauces provided, while the rice was fluffy and flavorful. I enjoyed the string beans and thought they were cooked to perfection. Only complaint here is the small serving sized Roti that left us with tons of leftover unusable sauce :(Good amount of seating in the restaurant and service was super attentive and friendly!

Recently I stopped by here, got shrimp dumplings and the khao man gai classic. I wanted to give it 2 and a half stars but can't.Shrimp dumplings - you can tell it's homemade, good shrimp flavor. The wonton is nice and thin, the filling is very plentiful. The sauce is pretty spicy if you dip it in there. Pretty good.Khao man gai (classic)- tender juicy chicken, the ginger rice is great if you have a vampire problem, you taste almost no ginger, tastes like a ton of garlic, felt like i was eating a clove of garlic. Overall meh.Overall: won't go back to. The Rice is nasty. There is better elsewhere.

If you're looking for a flavorful, and satisfying meal in Gramercy area, look no further than Go Chin Khao Man Gai! I recently picked up a few items and was impressed. First up, the Khao Man Gai Pi Set ($15.20) was absolutely delicious. It's a combo of steamed and fried chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy, perfectly paired with the aromatic rice cooked in chicken fat, and 3 different flavorful dipping sauces added just the right touch of heat and tang. The Shrimp Dumpling Soup ($12) was another standout. The dumplings were packed with a generous shrimp filling, and the broth was rich and comforting--just what you want on a chilly day.But the real surprise was the Chicken Skin ($9). Crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned, these little bites of heaven were addictive. I couldn't stop nibbling on them between the other dishes!Overall, the quality and taste at Go Chin Khao Man Gai exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommend it for anyone craving delicious Thai-style chicken rice and more! 5 stars all the way!

We were walking toward EV to grab dinner but this restaurant all caught our eye and group of 4 decided to go in. I realized this was the old Proong Noodle Bar location. Inside still looks the same!I ordered the Pad Baa Mee (stir-fried yellow noodle) with Gai Yang (grilled chicken). I also tried the fried chicken skin appetizer. I also got a passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly, which sadly there was no decaffeinated option. Hope I'm able to sleep tonight!Pad Baa Mee was DELICIOUS. The chicken, the noodles, the sauce everything. Honestly, everything tasted good without the sauce but the sauce just added another dimension. I liked how flavorful both the noodles and chicken were. The chicken was so tender. Good portion, and good price for NYC.The fried chicken skin wasn't my cup of tea (it's oily..it's fried...) but my friends really enjoyed it.I loved my passion fruit green tea as well. It was really sweet though so I watered it down with my water. Five stars. Would definitely come back!!!!

New in the East Village! We just tried Go-chin Khao Man Gai, and wow--this place is a must-visit! Their old-school recipe for Khao Man Gai is incredible--juicy, tender poached chicken, perfectly seasoned ginger rice, and a soybean paste sauce that's out of this world. Plus, the homemade soup with pickled lemon adds that extra burst of flavor! Don't miss out on their crispy Khao Moo Tod (pork belly), and if you're a dumpling lover, their shrimp dumplings are homemade and absolutely divine. East Village just got tastier--Highly recommended!Feature Shrimp DumplingTom Zabb Peak GaiRoti with Khao soi curryKhao Man Gai ( classic )Khao Moo Tod ( Pork Belly )Pad Baa MeeChrysanthemumDang Lemon sodaRoselleCoconut ice cream 347 1st Ave, New York

First of all the Staff was sooo sweet and kind Food was good especially the stream classic chicken was very very juicy And Fried chicken skin was so crispy would be the best with some seasoning Fried pork over rice can be better ginger sauce should be more intense to be more authenticity but I understand because of the location too I think But highly recommended because services is very friendly definitely will be back

Absolutely delicious! I was looking for good Khao Man Gai and I'm very happy to have found it! We ordered the classic Khao Man Gai, Khao Moo Tod (pork belly) and the Chive Fries!The Khao Man Gai was very good! The rice was flavorful and the sauce was great! My boyfriend really enjoyed the Pork Belly. The chive fries were a great starter! The sauce to dip them in was delicious! The service was quick and very nice! It's a cute, warm establishment with nice decor! I would highly recommend eating here :)

I ordered food from here for the first time, and it was great! The chicken was juicy, and the sauce had a bold ginger flavor that paired perfectly. Overall, the food was excellent, and the service was just as impressive. Viki, our server, was helpful and kind. Definitely worth checking out!
