Was super excited for this but it was as good as I expected to be honest. Not bad but I've had similar better ones. The chicken tasted good and the rice was good but the soup was pretty salty and the sauces weren't as good as I've had at similar places.

My friend was visiting from out of town. We met up and hung out in the Dolores park area. My friend wanted to come here for lunch. I had something similar the weekend before so I opted for the soup noodles. It was a bit bland although there's a lot of chicken. My friend really enjoyed her Hainan chicken with the ginger sauce. Decor is an open kitchen concept so you can see the workers prepping. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. No frills tables and chairs. A bit of a mess. I had to clean up our table. Their one unisex bathroom is gross and the toilet overflowed. Self serve water station.

Fast casual Hainan chicken rice - who knew it could be found tucked in the outskirts of the Mission? I got the mixed breast/thigh chicken rice with Hunan ginger sauce (how could I get anything else). The chicken was tender and juicy (although I wish there was some dark meat to add some extra flavor) and the sauce was quite fragrant. Loved the lil soup cup on the side; the meal was comforting for sure.

The original Gai is my favorite here! Its a split of dark and light meat on top of rice with sauce on the side. The restaurant is small and has limited seating so i would recommend coming with a small group or ordering to-go! The chicken here is delicious and feels like a healthy meal! If you are looking for a satisfying simple meal i would check this place out! The food comes out pretty quickly so you dont have to wait long at all.

Food - ordered the original gai. came on a weekend afternoon and it wasn't too packed. chicken was super tender! cucumbers were slightly pickled, refreshing and delicious. rice was good and the sauce was tasty. Not too salty like other places.While the food was good, the drinks were not! my friend ordered the thai tea and said there was barely any tea flavor. I ordered the thai mango milk and it was disappointing. it tasted like artificial mango syrup and milk. do not recommend the drinks but the food is delishService - really good. easy order and food came quick.Ambiance - cute little hole in the wall shop. not a ton of seating.
