Eat Gai, a popular food vendor at Essex Market, offers a variety of Thai-inspired dishes. Their Pineapple chicken, a Hat Yai Southern Thai Fried chicken with pineapple & ginger rice served in a pineapple shell, is a standout. The chicken is crispy and juicy, seasoned with a blend of spices, and the pineapple pieces in the ginger rice add a burst of sweetness. They also offer Thai Fried chicken, which is soft and flavorful, and Fried chicken Bahn Mi, a delicious sandwich with greens, cucumbers, and sauce. However, their Hainanese chicken, which comes with chicken, rice, and melon soup, has been criticized for being overcooked and lacking flavor, with some reviewers finding the rice and sauce unimpressive.
