Some of the most tasty and crispy chicken you can get. How do they get it so crispy? Have had a lot of the options. Mango Jelly is also really good as is the Thai Ice Tea with mango puree.

I travel to SF a lot for work. This is my new go to delivery spot for my hotel. Healthy meal, delicious food, great quality, all time favorite. You can order on Uber Eats.

Great concept, but unfortunately a mediocre execution on flavor and preparation.
Crispy Gai had an oily, slightly crunchy crust; the accompanying chicken schmaltz rice however was fragrant and flavorful. Mala Dan Dan sauce was far from what is advertised. Virtually no numbing sensation, just hoisin sauce mixed with trace amounts of a nut paste and a little chilli spice.

Not busy. Quick service. Simple menu. Chicken was good tasty and crispy. Sauces are flavorful. Rice was cooked well too.
Their food certainly lived up to this restaurants name! (Would’ve been crazy if not).
They have more than just simple chicken and rice on their menu actually so I kinda wanna come back more and try out everything. Yay seemed decently fairly priced too I think.

Delicious and simple combinations served in an aesthetic interior.
This restaurant just serves chicken plus rice, and does it really well. I ordered the Crispy Gai, which was like chicken katsu over chicken-y rice, with some julienned cucumbers. There was a choice of sauces, but they weren’t really necessary in my opinion. The chicken was tender and juicy and the rice was perfectly cooked. It came in a cardboard food container and with a little cup of chicken broth to drink. I also had some Thai iced tea, which tasted as expected. My total was a bit over $20.
There’s a restroom and plenty of seating, with options for people dining solo and groups. The interior is also nicely decorated if you’d like to post some photos on social media.

Gai by far is the best chicken rice in town. Not only they have authentic singaporean hainan sauce but also they offer thai sauce which is so good! The chicken rice is highly customizable with the choices of dark meat or whit meat.
One thing should be mentioned here is also the soup, which tastes superb. Last but not least, we also try the salad gai, that comes with two sauces, and tastes like authentic thai salad.

Gai Chicken & Rice is delicious! My favorite is the Thai Basil Gai with chicken rice and salad. It comes with a tasty side of broth. The side of steamed broccoli is really good too.

Gai has been my go to for the busy + long days of work these past few months.
I always order the lean gai since their breast meat is never dry and somehow stays juicy.
It also feels like a pretty well balance and healthy meal compared to all the other take out/delivery options. How can you go wrong with chicken, rice, cucumber and soup? Well other places make it too salty or their chicken is dry but Gai has stayed consistent everytime I order.
I’ve also eaten there in person after a workout too and still the same consistency.
In case you didn’t notice, consistency is key for me and with that 5/5 stars.

Really flavorful rice and moist chicken. Upgrading to the combo plate, adding extra meat, and/or a soft poached egg is definitely the way to go. The price is definitely SF pricing ($11 – $15 per bowl) but this is one of the better chicken rice places in SF.

We ordered the chicken breast meal and to our surprise the meat was very moist and didn’t taste tough at all. We were very impressed by the quality of the chicken. I also love the option of ordering chicken rice and brown rice.
