Don't know if it's because I was really hungry at the moment, but at the moment of this review, this chicken place is surprisingly good! Like Really Good! Just a take out place since there's only 2 stools to sit on if you want to eat there. But definitely filled me up for the price. Definitely recommend for cheap fried chicken over rice.
I've ordered takeout from here a few times during my lunch break, and the service is consistently quick and efficient.
I usually stick with the spicy fried chicken salad, which has crispy, juicy chicken that's always well-prepared. If you enjoy spicy flavors, I highly recommend trying the spicy green sauce--it packs a punch and has a flavorful kick of fish sauce. The fries are just okay--they tend to get soggy quickly and are a bit on the oily side. I'm also not a fan of the various seasonings they use; they just don't hit the mark for me.
That said, it's worth noting that this isn't an authentic Thai restaurant. The Thai iced tea, while decent, is a bit too sweet for my taste and comes prepackaged rather than freshly made.
Overall, it's a solid lunch spot with great deals, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
This is a takeout place only. There’s no place to eat inside.
The spicy fried chicken with ginger rice was really delicious. The roasted chicken was good. The roasted green bean was not good because the green bean was old.
We ordered via one of the 2 tablets at the store. And got our order a few minutes after. The place was fairly busy at 1PM, but we were in and out within 10 minutes.
This place is wonderful. The restaurant is very small but the food here is absolutely amazing. The staff are quick and very courteous to their guess. I just love their sticky Thai bbq chicken tenders with truffle parm fries. Delicious 😋 at 45th Lexington Ave. NY. Great staff 👏
Thank you for very good food and friendly workers.
The good was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended
Great food but could be a little slow so make sure you have the time
Absolutely amazing I highly recommend
I really like the roast chicken and ginger rice at Gai! It’s delicious, simple, and quick. Perfect for lunch!
Great spot off 45th / 3rd, block from Grand Center. Grab some tasty spicy chicken. Awesome choices.
Fantastic chicken and delicious rice. Staff were nice and friendly and was in and out in minutes. Can’t wait to go back.

Great affordable healthy meals in nyc. Also open later than most nyc restaurants in midtown. That’s a plus. I don’t know what has happened to this city. Everything closes early.
Love there food
I honestly can’t believe how good this was. Wow, great surprise. Chicken is cooked perfectly, seasoning is spot on, sauce is amazing.
good taste, subpar portions in regards to price.
unwashed lettuce, absurd amount of dirt under all the pieces of lettuce.
The best
