If you love a simple Hainanese chicken rice with a warm bowl of soup do try this place ! We got 2 combos the combo A with poached chicken and fried chicken with rice & combo C which was grilled chicken and fried chicken with rice and a big bowl of chicken clear soup , both were good but I enjoyed the combo C better . They serve it with 2 sauces both delicious, if you like extra spicy then surely ask for chilli oil ? its spicyy be careful! Overall a great experience the food ambiance !Parking: Its in a huge plaza , right next to lotte market

Tons of flavor, good portions and quick service. Love the sauces. Prefer the boiled versions to fried. Pricey but high quality

Delicious! Located inside of Umai ramen and rice bowl. Fresh ingredients, nice portion size and great flavors. I ordered combo B (poached and grilled), soup and pork buns. I loved the soup, and it's only $2.50! The pork buns were great and the combo bowl was delicious, I tried both sauces and can't decide which one I liked more, both tasty. the restaurant itself (Umai) is cute, too. It's small, but I like the vibe. Both restaurants have great food.

first the location as others have mentioned. My GPS stopped me at a turn that was gated which was wrong, have to go down one more turn. Kindi Thai is located inside Frontier Kitchen, which is in the building behind the one that says Marble Systems that you will see from the street. Pretty cool to have several food places at one location, would like to check out the others some day as well.You ring a door bell for the restaurant you want and they will come to the door to take your order.I got the fried chicken and it was delicious! it was to go so the first thing was the aroma. It smelled so good on the drive home I couldn't wait to eat it. Chicken was nice and crispy. Rice was flavorful but wasn't too different from regular white rice in my opinion. Bowl is bigger than it looks in pictures.The sauce it comes with is key, it's delicious!

Awesome job Kindi. Very tasty rice. Combo is great. Have a dark meat, a whole chicken option, and do a fresh chili sauce like they do in Malaysia andSingapore and you'd kill it.

Good food, terrible portions for what you paid for.

I was not expecting too much as there aren't any Hainanese chicken restaurants in this area. However, this place exceeded my expectations! I got the original and the fried version of the chicken and both were very delicious! The rice was fluffy and well seasoned and the sauces (esp the garlic ginger?) were good with the chicken. This place is conveniently located in a plaza where my gym is located, so I'll be making frequent trips. Also got free soup/broth as well!
As a lover of khao mun gai, I was extremely excited when Kindi Thai Chicken rice conveniently moved their kitchen to Umai. I ordered the Signature for my first time here. I thoroughly enjoyed both sauces, the broths, and the rice. Eating here is definitely much easier than making my own Hainanese Chicken rice.While delicious, the one thing I wish was that the chicken was a little less dry and a little more tender. I know the chicken is typically boiled, but I feel like it was either overcooked or just sliced wrong because the chicken itself was ok.Overall, I do look forward to ordering the different dishes and twists on khao mun gai again, but I hope the chicken itself is cooked a little better next time.

This place shared the same location with a Japanese ramen place. I don't know how they do it, but it took me a while to figure out where it is. It has no sign of its own. Signature Khao Man Gai is good but not great, the chicken can be more tender. It's more of Chinese or Malasian food than Thai. The meat portion is small for the price. I might go there again maybe once a year type of frequencey.

I ordered a combo which has hainanese chicken and fried chicken over rice.I been travel to Thai several times, I would say the food is below average.For the price I don't think it worth it.hainanese chicken is really try and rice is very soggy which is definitely not the right taste.Chick should be juicy and tender, rice should be flavorful not soggy and soft.

First time trying the new Kindi Thai Chicken rice though not new to Umai. This bowl was so good and flavorful. Highly recommend trying it! Very limited seating inside and a few patio tables outside. I got mine to go- quick and easy service!

Takeout only but don't let that deter you! I tried them out when I was ordering a few things from Frontier Kitchen. I was looking for something simple and comforting and felt this would fit the bill. I got the grilled KMG with a Thai ice tea which didn't take long. By the time I got there for pick up they were ready to pass my meal over. I love this, the chicken was flavorful and the rice was just amazing. I can't remember which sauce I liked more though I think at some point I used one for chicken and one for rice and it was good. The tea was nice too, refreshing.
