Curry puff
Helen O.

Our first time here. We had the half fried and half composed of hainan chicken and which was served with garlicky sauce while Fried chicken was served sweet chili sauce. And we had curry puff, curry chicken and Thai tea. They were pretty good.

Chicken Classic Meal with Broth
Brian H.

Did a takeout order and was Very impressed. All the dishes sound and look great. Went with the Traditional Chicken Thigh dish and couldn't be more happy with my choice. Chicken was very moist and over a bed of rice with their sauce was a great combination. People were friendly and the restaurant seemed very clean. Will continue to support this small business.

Combo of crispy and steamed chicken
Sarah T.

My first time trying this place and it was really good. Love the half and half option for indecisive people like me who wants to try both crispy and steamed chicken. Each one came with a different sauce. The crispy one came with a sweet and sour sauce and the steamed chicken came with a garlic sauce, both delicious. Loved the cucumbers on the side as well, such a great option for a quick, take out meal. One order was enough for two meals for me. Very satisfying and would order this again next time.

Crizp Chicken, Sweet Chilli Sauce and chicken broth.
Aris P.

When we read customer reviews of Gai'N Rice, we knew that we had to check them out for ourselves. We were not disappointed. We planned to order our food to go and from the moment we entered the restaurant until we left the entire experience was excellent. We were pleasantly greeted by the cashier when we entered. She patiently answered our questions about the food and drinks menu items giving us enough details to help us choose our wonderfully tasty food and drink choices. Kudos to the cashier. Our to go order was bundled to perfection. Along with the two main meal containers, we had small containers of sauce and two medium size containers of broth; but, we found absolutely no spillage or leaking after opening the bag. Nice! We did not have to dip our chicken pieces in the bag or slide it around our counter top. We thoroughly enjoyed the Crizp Chicken, sticky-rice, and dumplings as each was simply scrumptious! In fact, our meal was food coma DELICIOUS. The sweet chilli sauce that came with meal was actually good and not as spicy as I'd thought it would be. I'm not a fan of spicy sauces. The broth was ok, but could have had a little more flavor. Lastly, I must confess that after eating I did settled into a state of bliss that I can only identify as a food coma. That state of bliss was most satisfying and worth repeating. The food is pricey, but worth it. We ordered two drinks. For me - Brown Sugar Herbal Jelly Milk Tea and my hubby - Strawberry Lemonade. I love extra sweet drinks. My drink was both tasty and sweet to my liking. I have added Gai'N Rice to my favorite list of places to order milk teas. I always specify extra sweet when I order milk teas. However, at other places that I've ordered from I ended up receiving a tasteless bland drink, and the added jellies did not add to the flavor. This was not the case with our drinks. Our drinks were YUMMY!!! I give Gai'N Rice 5 stars and 10 forks up. Yes, I will recommend this place to friends, family, and others looking for a good food.

Classic
Lauren C.

Friendly and fast service, easily online ordering too for easy takeout. My favorite is the classic with all thigh, while my husband likes the Take 2. Chicken is always moist and their sauce is amazing! Love the chicken broth soup too as a palate cleanser.

Rochelle S.

Loved Gai 'N. Rice!, the broth, the rice, the chicken, you cannot go wrong if you get fried or original, it's a matter of preference. Expect to spend money when you get here but you get quality food. The dipping sauce are different for both and they compliment them. Also got the Mango and Sticky rice. Service is fast, pricy but good food, I will let you decide if it's for you but I would def give this place a shot! Sooo delicioso!

I went here on a recommendation. I have been wanting to try this for a while and did not realize it was so close to my home. A bit hard to get to from the street, but OK. I ordered the Rama, which is all breast meat and broccoli with Thai peanut sauce. I say it was just OK, plain chicken breasts with broccoli and peanut sauce, not my idea of an amazing Thai meal. On further review from my fellow Yelpers, I should have gotten the Crispy Chicken, that seemed to be the top hit. Otherwise the resturant has a nice clean look, with a few scattered tables. The price was a little high for what you get but I will try try it again and get the Crispy chicken and do another review.

Classic chicken plate

First time here. It's pretty good and fast service. Clean interior. Good amount of protein, rice was fresh and warm, sauce was really good. A must if you're in the mood for chicken.

Menu and order counter
Rommel A.

I've had this place bookmarked for a while because I'm frequently in the area. However today I finally made time to have lunch here. It did not disappoint. I ordered the Classic meal, which comes with chicken breast and thighs. I liked the thighs more, but the chicken breast was surprisingly juicy. The best part about this meal was my daughter who has an allergy to soy, sesame, gluten and peanuts was able to enjoy a meal. My wife said the staff was kind, understanding and accommodating to my daughter's allergies. We did however find a noodle in the broccoli, which most likely contains gluten. So this leads me to think that the broccoli might be cooked in the same water as the noodles. But my daughter didn't have any allergic reactions so that's a win for us. If your allergies are more severe, I would check on this. I ended up coming back here right before closing for dinner. A tiny bit pricey, but for convenience, flavor and customer service, I'd say it's worth it. Also If you're watching your nutrition, this is a solid place to have a meal high in protein meal. Highly recommended.

Chicken curry!
Herminio T.

We love this place. Have been coming here for years. Service is always fast. We always pick it up and eat at home, but the place looks cozy. The crispy chicken is delightful. We love their curries either with noodles or rice. The chicken thighs with the skin and special sauce is also delicious. Our favorite are also the creamed corn wontons as an appetizer. I've had their teas before and they're also good. This is a regular spot for us. It's just that good.

I haven't been here in awhile so I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't super busy but a few tables left. You order first before you get your food. I tried the curry noodle gai, Crizp-crispy chicken, and mango sticky rice. All were good but my favorite is the curry noodle gai. It was really tasty. Love the curry sauce & love the noodles. The Crizp comes with a side of chicken soup. It was tasty too. Plenty of parking and staff were friendly.

Classic and the Take2 [lean and crispy]
George V.

I personally didn't have a lot of expectation from this place, but I was wrong. The chicken was delicious. It was simple buy very good. I enjoyed the side of soup and their dipping sauce. This is a very clean eating and it is delicious! If you are in town, come grab yourself some chicken and rice from here!

Eric C.

Finally tried this place and it didn't disappoint. Real, simple comfort Thai food that refreshes your soul. We got the original/classic chicken and rice and the curry noodle chicken. Both were exceptionally good. Chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The curry version packs a spicy punch that is tolerable to your palate. Restaurant was clean and had a modern vibe and service was fast and courteous.

Large avocado matcha latte 70% sweet (recommended), light matcha, with boba. It was very tasty…read moreafter mixing the drink together, the blend of avo and matcha went well together. The matcha was present but not too bitter, and the avocado made it creamy. I tried this with medium matcha 3/24/26 and forgot to mix it prior to drinking (my fault; it'd be nice if they did it beforehand)-- I got all of the matcha at the top with no avocado which was bitter, but bearable with the boba balls. (I was driving so I didn't have a chance to properly mix it after I put the straw in the store.) The avocado portion with only boba was very good. If you like the taste of strong matcha then you'll like YiFang; I prefer the avocado drink with light matcha.

This shop is small and cute. It looks very organized and clean. I loved all the plants they had in…read moretheir store. There is limited seating, so it may be hard to grab a table if it is busy. This was my first time trying YiFang Taiwan and I was craving a refreshing mango pomelo sago drink after eating a savory meal but the mango pomelo sago was unfortunately sold out so I went with the mango sago and added jelly instead. They made my order wrong, but remade it for me and let me keep the first drink so I appreciated that very much. Their customer service is good and they were quick to resolve the issue. However, I did not really enjoy my drink. When they gave me the first drink with only jelly and no sago, my first impression was surprise at the large quantity of jelly topping in the drink. The toppings made up like 35-40% of the drink. I had the thought to ask them to use less toppings when remaking the drink but I assumed that if they were going to remake it and add two toppings, that it would be the same amount but divided into two. I regretted not asking though because in the corrected drink, they gave me so much topping that it made up half of the drink. They also did not drain the sago and it was not mixed in with the mango drink so it was very off putting and tasted strange compared to the first drink. Even when I tried mixing it all together, there was hardly any drink and all that was coming through the straw were the toppings. I gave up on the drink and ended up just drinking the first drink they made me. I think the topping portions is kind of crazy and I have never really experienced that before. I would much rather have more drink than toppings. I wish I knew about this beforehand or I wouldn't have added an extra topping. I would be open to trying this place again but only ordering their original drinks as is and/or requesting less toppings. I don't want to make quick judgements from this one drink because I have heard good things about YiFang drinks and they had great customer service. I am hopping that my next experience will be better!

I ordered the milk flavored ice cream with Dubai filling inside the tail with a strawberry top.. my son ordered a plain milk with no filling and a macaron on top.. we also ordered some taiyaki to go.

The taiyaki is always warm, crispy on the outside, and perfectly soft on the inside, and the fillings are just the right balance of sweet without being overwhelming.

It tastes best with lots of ice! I had a couple of bites of the #4, which comes with grass jelly, pandan jelly, the red jelly/seeds, and mung bean. The egg coffee has an egg foam layer that is quite thick and doesn't have a fake egg taste unlike some other places. The coffee is also really strong. Despite all the ice melting, it was still strong the next day, such that I will have this for at least a second day! There are so many dessert options, and I remember the pandan waffle being pretty good. Service was very friendly. They have plenty of indoor seating, and I was so happy to see they are getting a lot of business. It's very clean. Overall, I highly recommend Bambu!
