The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.

Gai Chicken & Rice offers the best Hainan-style chicken in a fast-casual setting in the FiDi area. The friendly staff quickly prepares the delicious white steamed chicken with white rice, complemented by a flavorful ginger sauce. Customers can also enjoy spicy fried chicken bowls, with crispy and juicy chicken paired with an excellent green sauce. The grilled chicken is also a highlight, described as juicy and nicely charred, served with fluffy ginger rice, fresh cucumbers, sweet corn, and cherry tomatoes.
The food receives high praise, with customers calling the flavors "really good" and the place a "hidden gem" in NYC. The steamed chicken with dark meat, green sauce, and spicy fried chicken are particularly popular. While the food is consistently satisfying, the service can be inconsistent; one customer reported an unwelcoming experience, but others praised the great customer service and quick, smooth service.
Gai Chicken & Rice is a convenient and affordable option for those craving authentic Asian flavors, with a menu that includes a variety of chicken dishes and sides. With only two small tables, it is primarily a takeaway store, making it a great grab-and-go spot near Fulton St.
