Must try!
Authentic chicken rice. I recommend Khao-gai-zaap.
Thai tea is good too, not too sweet.
The owner is very nice best service.

Honestly the worst chicken rice i have even eaten in my life. The chicken was tough as old boots. The rice not much flavor in it at all. The soup at least is pretty decent. But overall i would definitely not recommend. I had the crispy chicken version and the portion is small and I did not like it at all

Delicious food! The soup is also very good. I would love it more if the ginger rice didn’t have very mild flavor.

I recently ordered from them on DoorDash and went for "The Heat." As an Indian, I knew the regular spice level wouldn't be enough, so I asked for it extra spicy. What impressed me was their response—they didn’t just sprinkle more chili powder on top. Instead, they sent a small container packed to the brim with their chili powder for me to adjust the heat as I liked. It was so flavorful that I ended up licking the container clean. Their Thai Iced Tea is also amazing—sweet, creamy, and a perfect balance to the spice. Definitely worth a try!

Super quick and reliable food. I love how simple the menu is. Loved nearly everything but skip the mango sticky rice. Just grab some from your local thai place instead, bc that was really disappointing. I wouldn't say this place is amazing but it was a quick and nice enjoyable meal.

Had the Original.

Very well balanced meal. Tender, well-cooked chicken with mix of different parts. The cucumber, cilantro, and radish from the peppery stock compliment the meal well.

Simple and effective. Good value too.

For no nonsense high quality chicken and rice, this is the place to go. They do one thing here and they do it well. I might add to that their daikon soup was really good, and a side of it is only $3. This place is great for a quick and cheap lunch or dinner in the area. Bravo.

Great taste at an affordable price. Docking 1 star for the atmosphere because they didn't have the AC turned on in the middle of summer. They don't have bathrooms for patrons, but the value for money goes far here.

I ordered the mix of boiled chicken and crispy chicken. You can ask to make the crispy chicken spicy. It didn't come out crispy, but it tasted great. It also came with soup, even though that wasn't stated in the menu. Overall, I would recommend this spot.
