Classic Chicken Gai is a classic favorite!
My experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The Classic Chicken Gai was a standout dish, described as both heavy and yummy. It's a definite yes from me!

Amazing Food, Great Options
I have been ordering food from here for to-go orders. The food is always amazing. My favorite is The Original with chicken leg and thigh.
The Thai soy sauce is the best. Since I don't like veggies, there are options I can choose for all of them. I'll try Thai ice tea for the next time.

Authentic Thai Chicken Rice
My experience at GAI Chicken & Rice was simple, flavorful, and comforting. They specialize in Thai-style Hainanese chicken rice. The poached chicken was tender, served with fragrant jasmine rice, a flavorful broth, and house-made sauces (spicy, sweet, and savory).
The portions were generous, and the pricing was reasonable. The vibe is casual and fast-casual, making it a great place for a quick, satisfying, and healthy meal. Fans love the authenticity and consistency.

Best Hainanese Chicken in SF!
My experience at Gai was fantastic! I absolutely love their Hainanese chicken, which I believe is the best in San Francisco. The delivery was super quick, and the portions were a great size for the good price.
I highly recommend this place!

Tasty Gai Chicken, Fast Service!
My experience with Gai Chicken was fantastic! I ordered through DoorDash and my food was ready for pickup in an impressive 10 minutes. The Original Gai was delicious, and I highly recommend trying it with the Hoi A Tangy Sauce – it was my favorite part.
I would definitely order again.

Authentic Chicken Rice, Chili Lacking
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, centered around their delicious and authentic Singapore-style Hainanese chicken rice. The portions were generous, and I generally enjoyed my meal. However, I was slightly disappointed by the lack of Singapore-style chicken rice chili sauce, as I'm not a fan of the sweet Thai chili sauce.
Overall, it was a tasty meal with good food quality.

Delicious Food, Accommodating Staff
This is a great place to dine in and order in. When we've eaten at the restaurant, the staff is always very nice and always accommodates my boss who is in a wheelchair. We order the same meals for delivery, and I can honestly say that the meals delivered are exactly like how we order them when we dine in.
Delicious and the same generous portions.

Absolutely Delicious Delivery!
I can’t believe I am just finding out about this place now! I ordered a combo through Uber Eats and everything was fresh, but most importantly delicious. I had a poached egg and it was done perfectly through delivery!
That is unbelievable. The chicken breast was poached perfectly and the flavors are … wow, just wow. I will definitely be ordering from here again and again.

Surprisingly Delicious Crispy Chicken!
I wouldn't have expected a place that serves boiled chicken over white rice to be so tasty. For the record, I got the crispy chicken. It was crunchy, SO juicy, perfectly tender, and full of flavor.
The rice was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and was the perfect compliment to the chicken. I will pass on the miso soup next time, but the rest of my meal made up for it.
