    Tried out the new item “Gai Sando” in April. The price is reasonable and the fried chicken is juicy. Previous review: Very nice experience dining in! We ordered an original Gai, Dan dan noodles and 5 spice chicken wings. All items were good. The chicken wings were so tasty, highly recommended!

    This restaurant has delicious chicken rice, a clean interior, and a menu with a good selection, but not too many things. However, the chicken broth was too salty and the restroom was a disaster zone with fresh paint. I had the Crispy Gai ($15.15 after tax, before tip), which was done about 12 minutes after ordering. I chose Hainan sauce for my sauce. The chicken was tender inside and crispy outside, and tasted great, which is what I expected. The rice was perfectly cooked. The sauce was minced ginger and green onion in some oil. I thought that half the container was plenty. The chicken broth tasted like real chicken, not like bouillon or some other cheap alternative. However, it had too much salt, so I didn't finish it. The restaurant didn't have many customers dining in, but they were swamped with delivery orders. I saw a slip that was about 3ft long coming out of the order printer. Overall, this is a great place to order reasonably priced, good chicken rice, and I recommend it if you're in the area.

    Delicious and big portions, chicken and sauces were mind blowing. Really surprised with the portion of rice and flavors. They are different and i loved everything from their menu.

    I've been a fan of their location on 16th Street for a while, so was pleased to see they have a second location convenient to downtown. I met a friend before seeing a movie at the Metreon. This location is great, with the same delicious chicken rice as their original location. I recommend you try the hoi an sweet and tangy sauce, it's my favorite. They even offer a discount when you show your movie ticket! You've gotta check it out. I enjoyed it so much I forgot to take a picture of the food.

    I ordered the crispy GAI and it was very well crafted. Perfectly juicy with the right amount of breading. The sauce was so good that it got me to eat cucumber for once! The chicken soup you get on the side is also good, as well as the rice. No bad feelings about this one! The decorations and seating are nice, and the only thing detracting from the atmosphere can be that it's on a very busy street corner. Highly suggest using public transit and walking the short way here! It'll be worth it.

    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!!

    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.
