    A no frills fast food joint that specialized in one thing - chicken and rice. The chicken was tender and the rice was pretty tasty. Was a little disappointed their thai milk tea was a bottled version. Their washroom was a bit dirty and acted as a storage room. All and all, if you want a quick bite this is the place to go

    The store is a bit small. Looks more like a to go place. Take out only. There was no wait. Cashless payment by credit card is available. Ordered on the spot took and it took about 5 mins. This place is legit, it’s exactly something you can find in Thailand. Their ginger rice is so aromatic and tasty. Their sauce is also really good on rice. Natcha was helpful and nice. Chicken in soup with spinach was also delicious. Super flavorful. Chicken was tender and juicy. I highly recommend this place for Thai chicken rice (khao man gai) would go back if I was ever in the neighborhood.

    I accidentally found this restaurant on my way to the Japanese garden. I ordered a traditional chicken rice and it was certainly delicious like eating this plate in Thailand. Sorry for taking this picture during the middle of my lunch.

    Ordered and paid to eat there, got my food, and only after giving me my food did they tell me that they’re “closed early for dine-in” and I’d have to leave. Not only that, but she was rude about it and told me it was my fault for not asking. Why would I assume otherwise? The place was still open, no chairs were up, and she didn’t ask me if I wanted to dine in or takeout. 0/10 wouldn’t return due to this interaction.

    Stopped by the new spot on Geary today. Really friendly staff, the chicken was top-notch, and the sauce was to die for. Love the simple menu that lets the quality of the ingredients shine. Will definitely be back!

    Originally I ordered the chicken and rice soup and it lacked of flavour. However, What The Cluck reached out to ensure that my needs were met. They offered me the Classic Khao Man Gai free of charge and it did not disappoint. The chicken was tender, and the rice was cooked to perfection. When combined with the sauce it made for an enjoyable meal. Thank you for the meal

    I'm a big fan of the chicken and rice dish thats getting more and more traction! This place does a good job! Quick and easy service. Rice is key to this dish and the rice was great! Sauce was on point as well. Super garlicky as it should be! Glad this place is around. They were super nice and I hope this place flourishes in this spot.

    Order via uber eats . Easily to be the best chicken rice in SF for me ! Love that staff always pay attention for my special request . Even they increase the price but still cheaper than other places , especially when you compare the quality and the portion of the food ! Keep it up guys !

  • 4/5 Irene B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious chicken and rice. I got the classic. The rice was cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned. The rice wasn't overly sticky or undercooked. The chicken was moist. I would've liked the bone to be boned a bit better esp around the butt of the chicken. Overall I wish I got more food for $14. I was still a tad hungry after spending 13.5hrs at work.

    no frills takeout only spot with a few chairs/tables to sit down. food was pretty good and came out quickly. the mixed chicken combo with two desserts was also very affordable at $15/pp post tax and tip! we ordered the mixed chicken combo and they originally gave us just hainan chicken but were quick to fix the issue. appreciate the service. mixed chicken combo: hainan chicken, katsu chicken, rice, and broth were the standouts! also loved the sauce for the chicken mango sticky rice: classic dessert and exactly what i expected. good but not mindblowing thai pudding with coconut topping: surprisingly enjoyed this dessert. reminds me of maja blanca a filipino dessert!

    I'm rating this a 4.7, however Google does not give a me this option I must choose 5, as it is obviously not a fine dining 4.7 is the highest I can rate this wonderful establishment.....its cleanliness is above expectations always. The service is absolutely fantastic, fast, quick. The food is honestly the best tasting and feeling food, for it's simplicity is actually wonderfully complex and delicious... Definitely the cleanest, freshest place on Haight st, upper or lower districts ...

    Food quality wasn’t good. The chicken had weird chewy parts that we had to cut out. Service wasn’t good either.

  • 2/5 Siming S. 1 year ago on Google
    Mediocre as can be. Chicken was dry and bland. Rice was literally a blob. Being as that’s all they serve here there’s not much more to say other than the restaurant stunk of used cooking oil despite their front doors pried wide open. Not even that cheap considering the low quality.
