    (Poached) Signature Khao Man Gai
    Christine L.

    KHAO MAN GAI SO GOOD OMYGODDDD I was craving a good chicken rice for so long and finally found this spot. For khao man gai, we know the drill: sauce is most important, then rice, then chicken. And Kindi Thai made all 3 so excellently. I got the poached which comes with the ginger sauce that we all know and love, while the Fried KMG comes with the thai chili sauce. I wish they both came with the ginger sauce tho bc it is just that good. The place itself is not easy to find. They are one of the restaurants/food pick-up spots in this Frontier Kitchen place, way in the corner of the parking lot and no big sign for the place. Thank goodness I found it, truly truly such a wonderful experience and I will definitely visit often.

    Absolutely amazing place! I will probably go back to this place because it is close to my house! At first glance, the portions may look small HOWEVER it took me 2 days to finish it. I ordered the Kindi Combo which came with the fried and poached chicken with the rice. I wanted to try a bit of both to see which one I preferred, and I definitely liked the poached chicken more. My boyfriend ordered the Fried Kmg and he actually liked the fried chicken more!!! Overall, the chicken was really flavorful and moist. I love how that there was so much rice!!! The rice here is incredibly flavorful and I could honestly eat it alone without any meat and sauce. We also shared the sriracha chicken wings, and it was a nice taste of spicy and sweet. Will mostly come back and will definitely try the thai tea next time. I love the simplicity of the menu and dishes.

    I have been following this place on instagram for awhile now and have sent a couple DMs about how excited I was to try it. I placed the order online for me and my two brothers along with thai ice teas. The team was super COVID friendly with good packaging and quick pick up. They followed up and made sure I received my order as well. The chicken was delicious. I got the original and the grilled chicken. They both were amazing and surprisingly the rice was bomb too with garlic flavoring and something hit differently. I wish I could swim in the sauce that the chicken came with. I would definitely come back again. My brothers loved it too! Also, I finished the Thai iced tea before I got home to start taking pictures and eating!!

    I really wish the best for their business because their Signature Khao Man Gai is pretty good! Boyfriend got the fried chicken and Thai Tea, pretty good! Thai tea was not too sweet and can still taste the Thai tea. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had a difficulty finding this place, it is basically located at the back, beside a automobile shop.

    When my husband told me that he was getting his second COVID vaccine in the Chantilly area, I only had one thing on my mind -- Thai Chicken and Rice! Khao Man Gai is one of my favorite comfort food in the world but the only place I've been able to access it is at the Bangkok 54 Supermarket (and they only put it out every once and awhile), out in California and when my dad makes a Vietnamese version at home! I was able to place an order easily through DM on Instagram and once my husband was finished his vaccine he was on his way to pick up and deliver! I barely had the chance to ask him how he was feeling when I started pouring that amazing ginger sauce onto my chicken and started scarfing down. My husband thought there was way too much rice but he is obviously ridiculous. The combo of steamed and fried chicken was amazing and my only regret was not getting a side of chicken broth to go with it. They also offer catering options to feed families as well! Hope they are able expand a little bit East so they are a little bit more accessible to me but you bet that whenever I'm in the Chantilly area, I'll be picking up an order. I think I have a new favorite place!

    Delicious! The Yelp fam points us towards the right direction once again. Tried calling a few times to place an order but we couldn't reach them (no signal possibly?). Placed an order at the restaurant and it took about 15 mins for it to be ready. Employees are friendly and wrapped our order neatly. Once you enter, there is a yellow bell to ring for assistance. I posted a picture of it. Their menu is simple and straightforward. We enjoyed their Thai Iced Tea and Thai Tea Lemonade. This is our first time trying Thai Tea Lemonade and it was incredibly refreshing and well made. Their poached chicken and fried chicken are both flavorful and have a nice consistency. The rice is fluffy and flavored with chicken broth/herbs. Yum! There is a chicken and rice place in Alhambra, CA that we couldn't stop thinking about after visiting years ago. I'm so glad Kindi Thai Chicken Rice is here. Now we can enjoy something similar in VA :D Comfort food all the way.

    Decided to try this place out a few months ago. Luckily for Yelp, I was able to find out about this restaurant. There is no way someone would accidentally stumble upon it because it is hidden inside an industrial area with a few other small restaurants. We ordered three different dishes. I believe one was braised, one was grilled, and one was fried. All the dishes dishes were delicious and the meat was tender. I think they cook the chicken over the rice, so the juices drip into the rice and the rice becomes even more flavorful. It isn't just plain white rice. Although the chicken is moist and flavorful, what makes this place delicious are the sauces. The sauces provided are very aromatic and authentic tasting. I am not Thai, but these flavors really taste authentic. The food was delicious! I wish it was a bit cheaper, but I am happy to support a local small business. Especially if the food tastes this good!

    Finding Kindi is a bit of a challenge. I was afraid my GPS had led me astray, but thanks to Dakota's picture of the front I was able to locate it. Kindi is carry-out only (at least at this location right now) and there's a little bell outside to ring so that someone can come take your order. I wanted to love this place because the lady who took my order was so sweet! However, the food fell a little flat. I ordered the poached chicken and rice and the chicken was deliciously moist, but basic. It reminded me of a rotisserie chicken, but juicer. I did not prefer the poached chicken skin so I discarded that before digging in. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. It's lightly flavored and serves as a great base for the dish. The cucumbers add a nice crunch and the cilantro added a fresh element to the dish. The real star of the meal are the sauces (ginger garlic and sweet chili). I requested both and I have to say my favorite was the sweet chili. Honestly it pulled the entire dish together. If I had one recommendation I would drizzle the sauce on top so there's some in every bite. It really rounds the entire dish out and makes it one cohesive meal. Without the sauce this is just a bowl of plain chicken and rice, (which can be a comforting meal) it just didn't wow me. I would give this place another try, but I don't think I would go out of my way to come back.

    It's good! It's what you'd expect for a Thai version of Hainanese chicken. Poached chicken is better than fried- fried is a little saltier and not what I was expecting. The breading isn't crisp. The garlic sauce is good but very salty. I would use sparingly and not pour it over as shown in photos. Rice is also good, definitely cooked in chicken broth. My favorite was the chicken wontons. It's a tiny dime-sized piece of chicken deep fried in a wonton wrapper- it's basically deep fried wonton-wrapper-chips. And just like chips, they're very addictive. I also got soup, which is basically chicken broth. It's very pho-like. You can smell and taste the anise. I will be back! The restaurant is part of a suite and it's not very well lit. It might be hard to find at night.

    Kindi Combo
    Jazlene G.

    Believe me guys when I say this but their Khao Man Gai (Thai Chicken Rice) is SO GOOD and RICH! My favorite is the Kindi Combo, which is half poached and half fried Khao Man Gai over simmered rice. The rice really gave character to the dish, as it is simmered with Thai herbs in chicken broth. Literally when my boyfriend took a bite, he was like "Jaz, you gotta try this rice!". We also enjoyed the fried KMG with the homemade ginger and garlic sauce and sweet chili sauce. Their other KMG's are also really good choices as well: the original and grilled. Not to the say the least, we are definitely ordering from here again! Also, you got to pair your food with some Thai Tea! Both their Thai Tea and Thai Tea Lemonade are really good, and I definitely recommend :)

    half a gallon of thai iced tea
    Allie Y.

    yay! I've been wanting to try this spot for a while. and with my parents visiting, I figured I should order a whole tray chicken & half a gallon of that iced tea. the rice was well seasoned and the chicken was super moist & juicy. but y'all. my favorite part was the thai iced tea. it's half a gallon of goodness. honestly I felt like this was a concentrate of thai iced tea so we added half thai iced tea and milk. whooooo that was so good haha made it so creamy! we had thai iced tea for days after that - daughter loved it the most haha wasn't too sweet once we added extra milk too. I highly recommend y'all try them! owner is really sweet & was excited to meet new customers :)

    Yummm Khao mon gai
    Lana S.

    Heard about this place and when we went to One Loudon Farmers market on Saturday I had to pick me up some chicken and rice! I had it for lunch the following day and man it was so delicious :) chicken is tender, rice is fragrant and the dipping sauce that came with it was nice and spicy. I wish I bought two bowls so I could eat more! The dish reminds me of the street food I had in Thailand. Khao mon gai has always been my favorite and I'm glad this dish is finally getting some recognition :) If I'm back in the area again will def. Be coming back for some more food!

    This it's a takeout only restaurant hosted in a ghost kitchen as said many times before in the previous reviews. We ordered the Thai tea lemonade, the traditional khao man gai, and the fried khao man gai. The khao man gai had a wonderful taste and texture, a taste very reminiscent of Thailand as my fiance had stated. I actually preferred the fried version over the traditional version. The order was very promptly handed to us with no delay or hesitation, so that was greatly appreciated as opposed to their shared kitchen partner Rice Culture. However, I will dock a point due to the value proposition (as each khao man gai is quite expensive for what it is, chicken and rice) and that the drink was primarily ice.

    Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

We had Mackenzie as our server and immediately connected because she's a foodie like me. At her suggestion, I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich but swapped the grilled chicken for fried. She had me at bacon. I mean, what doesn't go well with bacon? The chicken was crispy without being greasy and all the flavors just worked. My son had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly crispy, although the batter was a little sweeter than I prefer. I'm more of a Southern, savory fried chicken person. We asked for hot sauce to add to the maple syrup and Mackenzie upped it by bringing us hot honey instead. YES! Makers Union, add that to the menu. Promise you, it'll be a hit. You can thank Mackenzie for that one! Hubby had the fish and chips. His first reaction was, "Is that all?" Turns out, it was more than enough and really flavorful. The food was great, but honestly, Mackenzie made the experience. When your server understands food AND is a great people person, that's a winning combination. Great first visit and we'll definitely be back!

That's probably because of all the really good Italian restaurants in all the major cities and Little Italy's up there. They were not crowded on a Thursday evening for our party of 9. I started with a Turino Old Fashioned, which features Whistle Pig Rye and hazelnut liqueur. The hazelnut was very prominent. But Whistle Pig Rye also has a distinct flavor, and I could not taste that at all in my drink, and in general I was expecting a stronger flavor overall. Our dinners all came out relatively close to each other, 7 of them in the first wave, and the remaining 2 within a minute. My Braised Short Rib Lumache featured maybe 1 scoop of the short rib, atop pasta shells in a cheese sauce. The pasta and cheese appeared to be the standout in this dish, when I would have expected it to be the short rib. I don't think the Italian restaurants in the Northeast need to be too concerned. And with them you are more likely to get personal feedback rather than something which is generated as comments and automatically suggests trying the Happy Hour for more satisfaction.
