A really great spot for a quick and affordable meal! The food comes out almost immediately after ordering, and it's only about $13 for a large portion of steamed chicken rice. There isn't much seating in the restaurant, but turnover is pretty quick. I really enjoyed the flavors of the sauce it came with, as well as the ginger in the rice. If you dine in, the chicken rice also comes with a bowl of daikon soup, which was very flavorful and warm. We also tried the khao zai gaab, which was incredibly crispy and peppery. read more

SO GOOD great hole in the wall spot to get your hainan chicken fix. The steamed chicken is moist, bouncy, and the fatty skin keeps everything extra juicy. The broth served on the side is at once super savory but still light enough to drink all in one go. Also, I really appreciated that the plate was served with offal (easy to ignore if you're not interested) -- no food waste, a way to use to whole animal, and nice textural variety! Overall a delicious, savory plate at a good price. read more

This place is great for a quick lunch!! I order from here at least 1-2x/ week and the food arrives in ~20 mins without fail. I used to live in Singapore for a long time so I'd like to think I know what good chicken rice is! The steamed chicken version here is ok, but my favorite is the "Khao Gai Zaab" which is fried chicken with spicy sour seasoning. Excellent food! read more

Yooo this little hole-in-the wall in West Village by Washington Square Park was probably the best lowkey meal I had while visiting NYC on my last recent trip! The Hainan thai style chicken plate was DELICIOUS. I still can't stop thinking about my meal here. It's a very small place and not a lot of seating, so if you have to take it to-go.. just take it to the park! Besides the food, the staff was so friendly too.

Top tier comfort food and they serve one of the best Hainanese chicken rice in the city (equal to my other favorite, Lou Yau Kee). Both the roast chicken and the Hainan chicken are soooo flavorful and juicy and the accompanying chicken broth is great. I think I preferred the roast chicken slightlyyy more but both were really good. Portions are decent. Seating is limited here but it's right by Washington square park which is convenient. read more

I'm not usually a chicken and rice person, but this place is amazing. Food is incredible; the chicken is so tender and everything is flavorful. The rice and sauce really made it pop. Soup is so refreshing; the daikon is the perfect touch. Service is friendly and quick, and the setting is casual. Although most people take their food to go, I like to eat in. The big window is bright and a great place for me to unwind during my break. I appreciate the many napkins and ample hand sanitizer they have at the front too, so you can quickly clean up and go about your day! If I could, I would eat here everyday lol. 10/10, can't wait to be back. read more

There wasn't a lot of seating, but this is the perfect spot to grab a personal, calm meal. The Fried Chicken Rice was ready and slid in front of me at my seat within 5 minutes of ordering. It was hot and felt like exactly the food I needed in the moment. The daikon soup tasted clean and yet hearty. The cucumber was refreshing. There were only a few slices, so I wish it came with more. There was also a generous portion of fried chicken and rice. The chicken rice was flavorful and cooked just right, not too soggy or dry. The fried chicken was crispy. read more

Self loathing-free, yet filling proportions with tasty chicken cooked in a myriad of ways from steamed, saute, or fried. Hainese style chicken here was delicious--light, flavorful, and perfect doneness without sacrificing moisture. The accompanying ginger sauce can be a little strong so I recommend to dip it rather than pour it over. Sauteed chicken was also delectable. The umami packed fried rice is the ideal accompaniment to the chicken and was sooooo addicting. Fried chicken has a unique and lightly sweet flavor without being too oily/greasy or salty, which was great. It's a great light option for fried chicken if you want something with a little crunch. The sliced cucumber additions give you an extra refreshing little burst with the savouriness of the food. Portions are rather affordable--about $12-$14 per plate/per person and the food comes out fast! They seem to do a great deal of takeout or DD orders as well. There is some seating indoors: bar stools behind a giant glass window for scarfing down your food while people watching, and some smaller tables for about 2 groups. It can get a little cramped. It appears they have drinks as well as a variety of proportion options, sides, etc. I'm a super fan already and will become a sucker due to loving the yogurt drinks next door. Staff are friendly and amicable. They always have a warm energy to them that reminds me of my family back home. read more

ME Chicken Rice is my go to for a quick and easy dinner! My yoga studio is nearby so whenever I don't feel like cooking after yoga, I always stop by ME Chicken Rice to pick up their #1 aka the Thai style hainanese steamed chicken rice. It's affordable and delicious - what more can a girl ask for?! It's a small restaurant but there are a few tables to dine in if you choose. Not a great spot for a big party but you can always grab take out and eat at the park. As for the food, the steamed chicken is so juicy and moist. Paired with the aromatic chicken rice, ginger sauce, and savory daikon soup, it's the perfect meal. Can't wait to go back again! read more

One of my favorite cheap eats in Manhattan. I cannot explain how much I love this place. You go up to the counter to order and the food is ready within 5 minutes and served directly to your small table. And even though the restaurant itself is tiny, there always seems to be an open seat as people eat and leave very quickly. I ordered the Fried Chicken Rice and it was delicious!! Although there isn't a lot of chicken, the fried bits are fried to perfection as it isn't too oily and full of flavor. I especially liked dipping it into the sour and spicy sauce which elevated the chicken. The rice is also to die for as it is seeped with chicken broth, you can just eat this alone without anything else. Also, the soup is incredible as I love how much white pepper they put into the broth, the flavors are so incredibly intense. I love ME Chicken Rice. Probably top 10 favorite eats in NYC! read more

Delicious and causal chicken rice place. You have a couple different styles to choose - steamed Hainan chicken, roasted chicken, or friend chicken. We got the fried chicken with fried rice. However, the fried rice was mostly white rice but toasted with some sesame oil. The dish is served with a side cucumber and a simple chicken soup. I don't think I would ever crave what I ate here but I would be interested in coming back to try the Hainan chicken next time. read more

The chicken rice here is SO good!! I was able to try all three types of chicken (fried chicken not shown) and my favorites, in order, were the roasted chicken, steamed chicken, and then the fried chicken. Don't get me wrong, the fried chicken (4/5) was really good, but a bit breaded. The roasted chicken (5/5) was super flavorful and the flavors from the chicken seeped into the chicken rice, and the steamed chicken (4.7/5) was way more tender and flavorful than I expected! I was also a huge fan of the daikon soup that came with it... it tasted so flavorful and not MSG-y at all, and the chicken rice was SO TASTY!! I would highly recommend coming here. We got takeout and it still tasted fresh an hour after we got it! read more

I've been craving some hainanese chicken for awhile and when looking for a spot, this came across my search. I was looking for a no frills place with some good flavor and that I got from ME Chicken Rice. Service was minimal where they just take your order and call it out. The place is super super small. We luckily got an open table right away. There were only really 3-4 entree options and it's how you want your chicken cooked - steamed, roasted or fried. We opted to share the roasted one because it was kinda in between. The chicken was moist, tender, and flavorful. It came with soup and chicken broth rice. Everything was so good! I can't wait to come back again. read more

Casual restaurant with a limited menu, specializing in hainanese chicken rice. The place is very small with some seatings in the front. You order and pay before getting your food. I got their specialty steamed chicken rice. The chicken was fresh, tender and lightly seasoned. The rice was perfectly cooked in chicken broth and full of umami. The sauce added a kick of saltiness that compliments the chicken and rice well. I appreciate that the chicken was already deboned and makes eating it easier. The soup on the side was also really good. I got a Thai tea as well and that tastes pretty standard but for a pretty good price. There's no AC inside, just a fan, so it does get sweltering in the summer. read more

UHM... I really loved this chicken rice. I've had a number of chicken rice experiences over the past few years, and this one has been my favorite. This one is the Vietnamese rendition, that comes with a side of sweet dipping sauce. You can get your chicken steamed, roasted, or fried. I got mine steamed. The chicken was perfectly cooked and really flavorful. I really liked the side of dipping sauce it came with. My favorite part, the chicken rice... Was delicious. It was a ginger rice with amazing chicken flavor. It also came with a small cabbage soup, and I loved the broth. This is a pretty small establishment but you could get food to stay. My recommendation would be for takeout. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their other chicken rice dishes! read more

These are some of the weirdest reviews I've seen in a while. It's like there's some bias or undue influence that I'm not aware of. To start, the pictures don't mesh with the insanely high average rating. Right? Not sure what others see, but to me it just looked like basic, bland, steamed chicken. I showed up at the restaurant. A fair price if you're too lazy to cook at home but it's basic, bland chicken and rice and soup. The (quarter? ish?) chicken is deboned but still has all the not-fun chewy parts. It also has that ever-so-slight sour taste that the cheapest grocery store chicken always has. I ordered potstickers which took 15 minutes to come out. They were crisped nicely but the inside of them tasted like the goo inside chicken nuggets. You might save $1-$2 here compared to Kebab Express or Cauldron Chicken, but you've gotta be kidding me. read more

The roasted chicken rice tastes better than the steamed chicken rice. We also ordered pinky milky and chrysanthemum tea with boba jelly ($1.50 extra for each). First reaction on the drinks, although the drinks cost $3.5 (without the boba) the size felt small. The chrysanthemum tea tastes like Vita box drink and pinky milky tastes like Melona strawberry ice cream. There's three tables seating and stool seatings by the window. read more

I first tried ME Chicken Rice at an NYU event, and I knew it was going to be good because the rice smelled divine. Is that weird? The rice is not your usual white rice, it's sooo flavorful. I knew I had to go back to try it again, so I visited the actual restaurant a few days later. I personally love the fried chicken option the most, followed by the steamed option (reminiscent of Hainanese style), and then the roasted option (it's very peppery). When you order at the restaurant, your platter comes with the rice, chicken, delicious soup (spiced with white pepper and a piece of winter melon) and a couple slices of cucumber. There's not much seating available at the restaurant, but we were able to find seats at the window (fun to people watch). We really enjoyed our meal, and appreciated that the restaurant also sells bubble tea (but these are premade, so you can't control the sugar level). read more

So this sounds like a familiar refrain. Jamie W. and I were finishing our second cocktails at The Duplex, so let's just say we were feeling no pain, Mr. Maine (review: https://bit.ly/3SL3x3A). However, we were feeling those familiar munchies when an excess of alcohol somehow made us think our stomachs disappeared. We were thinking about returning to Jack's Wife Freda (review: https://bit.ly/3NcTseB). We had quite a good meal there just a few months ago, but then I found this spot on Yelp and got excited at the prospect of having khao mun gai in the West Village. It turned out to be a small space, typical Village walk-up size, but there was an open table for us. I liked how they offered roasted and fried chicken options and even wings, but that didn't sway us. We both ordered the $11.95 #1 Steamed Chicken Rice (photo: https://bit.ly/3gOGiZ1). Why? Because that's what was meant to be. It was a hearty bowl covered liberally with savory boneless steamed chicken sliced but not skinned. Hey, I'm no martyr. I was thrilled it came with slow cooked pieces of liver and gizzards. All of it came over ginger-infused rice and was drizzled with a lot of tasty garlic-ginger sauce. There was a cup of hot daikon soup provided on the side. You would think that would have been enough, and if we were sober, it would've been. However, we noticed they sold a $4.95 plate of French Fries (photo: https://bit.ly/3TYSIfb), and well, we needed fries. Like real bad. I can barely remember eating them at this point as I assumed we didn't bother chewing them on their way down our gullets. What a happy find. I'm sure we would've been thrilled even if they made us take a breathalyzer test. FOOD - 5 stars...a fine khao mun gai with fries on the side AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact spot but enough room for us and three slender Gen Z types SERVICE - 4 stars...kudos for understanding our slurred speech and over enthusiastic praise TOTAL - 5 stars...LA has Savoy Kitchen (review: http://bit.ly/2KLT08s), so this could be NYC's response RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

Walked in around 1:30pm and it was very busy but I was able to grab a table. They have a solid lunch special and as basic as it is, I love a good Pad Thai and ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. The sauce, spiciness level (asked for medium spicy and it was actually medium spicy) and noodles were all delicious and I was surprised at how juicy the chicken was. I've been to some places where the chicken can be quite dry but the chicken here was actually cooked well and would recommend. The one particular thing to note at this restaurant was that the noise level was exceptionally loud for a Thai restaurant (during lunch). They were blasting music so keep that in mind if you're looking for a more relaxed, quieter environment.

Shoutout to our awesome server Ploy who took good pics of the group! I started with a thai mango surprise to drink, then got the massaman curry and drunken noodle for mains. Thai Mango Surprise- This has a vodka base. You get mango puree, sticky rice syrup, coconut milk and coconut cream. It's like a drink version of the dessert, very tasty! Massaman Curry- We got this with beef which was cooked perfectly tender. The sauce is sweet with a hint of spice and made creamy with coconut milk. Potatoes and peanuts add bulk to the dish. Drunken Noodle- We got this with chicken and they gave us a generous amount of it. The sauce is savory and spicy, packed with flavor. The noodles are soft and chewy. Great experience overall!

Not all midtown restaurants stay open past 10, and I was relieved to find their kitchen going strong at that hour, as well as their dining space, which was full. Turned out it was for good reason because their food was delicious. My friend and I were hoping to eat at a restaurant nearby specializing in crab, but they closed much earlier. Fortunately for us, SaiTong's menu had plenty of crab on it, and we decided to double up and make each of our entree's a crab one. The black spaghetti crab curry and crab curry noodles advertised themselves as being very different dishes in both presentation and ingredients but ended up tasting kind of similar. One was topped with deep fried crab and used a different type of noodle than the other, but the sauces were so similar. This is not to say that they didn't taste good, but I would've preferred more variance. I'm glad we got an order of papaya salad to cut the richness of the other dishes, and I also appreciated it had a nice level of heat in it. Our servers were really friendly without being overbearing, and let us linger for a bit even after we paid the bill, as it was their last seating for the evening. There are so many excellent Thai restaurants in the city and I'd put SaiTong firmly in the category of perfectly solid spots to get your Thai fix, with some special dishes on the chef's menu worth checking out.

I mentioned that most restaurants in New York typically allow around 90 minutes for dining, but they explained that they were fully booked and that we were only given 1 hour and 15 minutes for the entire dinner service. That meant we had just 15 minutes left to order and finish dessert. This was a very unpleasant experience. At the very least, they should have informed us about the time limit before we started dining.

The massaman curry was also flavorful, but a little too sweet for our liking (tasted more like yellow curry, and less of the peanut taste we are used to) Nevertheless, I really liked their GIANT trifold menu and we will definitely be back to try the rest. Amazing ambiance inside (I ADORED the gold hanging decor on the ceiling) Bathrooms were very clean and staff was so efficient and friendly. They refilled water all the time and brought out food very quickly. We were celebrating a birthday but there was nothing brought out, so I don't think they have that kind of service here.

The presentation is everything! If you change it and add chicken to it, they bring it out like a regular dish so only order with shrimp, if you like seafood! The ambience is very welcoming and trendy with a whole vibe.

However, when I got to the restaurant, I was told that they were not participating. When I brought this up to the staff, they did comment that several people made the same mistake earlier in the week. If that was the case, then why not correct the restaurant week website, or make it very obvious on your website that you aren't participating? Both of us were starving, and I had put in a birthday request at the restaurant, so we decided to stay. The ambiance is classy, and this would be a great spot for a business dinner or date night. I ordered a massaman curry with roti and chicken ($29), and my friend ordered the chuchi shrimp ($30) and curry puff ($16). Prices are a bit above average for the portion size, but justified by the area. We both enjoyed our dishes; the flavors were on point! Then, for my friend's birthday, they gave us mochi ice cream and a card signed by the staff! That was a nice touch that overrode the restaurant week debacle. Service was fantastic. There were multiple check backs and water refills. I would recommend Sabai Thai for a fancy night out, and I would return to try other dishes.

The ribeye garlic fried rice was bold, deeply savory & dangerously good. The chicken pad Thai struck a delicate balance between tangy and bright & perfectly restrained. If you find yourself north of Flatiron, and aren't feeling Korean - this little Thai gem shouldn't be missed; stop in on Mondays & Tuesdays

Stopped by The Thonglor New York for dinner and ordered the pad kra pow with a fried egg on top…read more The egg is definitely a must for this dish! As a Thai person myself and as indicated on their menu, it's the way most Thais eat this dish :) The fried egg added that rich, runny element that really brings everything together. The veggies were nicely sautéed, fresh and still crisp, and there was a good amount of ground pork, so the dish felt hearty and satisfying rather than rice-heavy. Overall, the flavors were solid and comforting, though I personally found it just a touch sweeter than I prefer for pad kra pow. Even so, it definitely hit the spot and was very satisfying for a late-night craving. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant overall. One thing to keep in mind though is timing - if you're dining closer to closing, you may feel a bit rushed toward the end of your meal. All in all, a solid option for Thai food! I'd come back again (probably earlier next time) and would be interested in trying more dishes from the menu.

Ordered takeout, was NEEDING pad thai after a night out. This didn't exactly hit the spot though…read more For being one of the most popular dishes...it's just mid. Not worth $20. The flavor is sweet with a heavy red hue to it. I typically like my pad thai on the browner side if that makes sense. The peanuts add more depth of flavor for sure but it could also use a bit of spice and should've came with a lime wedge to cut the sweetness. Great portion size though & takeout service was fast. Also beware if you don't like tofu as it comes in the eggs that they add to the dish.
