Reviews for Gai 'N Rice | Thai Chicken Rice in Sacramento, CA
First time here. Ordered chicken curry. All 10 pieces of chicken had gristle and tendon bits on them. Not sure what... happened. I could not eat my food. Onions not done, curry sauce taste just ok. For a first time visit I am disappointed. Read more

Great selection of drinks! We got the chicken dish, mango sticky rice and drinks. All are very tasty! Must stop by when you are... in the area. The dining area is all packed, so we drove to a nearby park and had a good lunch on picnic table. Didn?t take apicture of the food as they were all boxed up. Read more
I?ve been craving Hainanese chicken rice ever since I heard about the dish. Even with my high expectations, I was pleasantly... surprised by how GOOD this Khao mun gai is! I ordered the take two: half poached breast, half crizp. The breast meat was moistand tender with a delicate flavor, which pairs well with the standard dipping sauce. The crizp coating was crispy AND light. Naturally, it was more flavorful than the poached chicken, without being to salty or greasy. The chicken rice is a bit greasy,but that?s what makes it taste good. Jasmine notes complemented the savory chicken flavor. I also ordered a side of broccolibecause I don?t eat cukes, which is the veg they serve it with. The broccoli is a vibrant green, and more firm than tender. Idid not try the chicken broth because I don?t eat cilantro (coriander leaf) either. It is easy to pluck off, and doesn?tcontaminate the dish, for those who also don?t like cilantro. If I return to Sacramento, I plan to return for anothersatisfying meal. Read more
I really like this place. The food is super authentic. When I come here I always get the "lean" on the menu which is just the... skinless chicken white meat and it tastes pretty good you can eat it with their sauce they have but I usually just eat it withtheir hot sauce(you have to ask for that) it's really good if you like to dip your chicken in a little spice. The rice thatcomes with it is not no original white rice you would think they serve just like almost every Asian restaurant do but let me youtell you there rice is pretty damn good its like seasoned with some chicken seasoning or something. I like the little slicedcucumbers they add to have some veggies as a little side. They also give a side of soup it's a chicken broth soup I believe andthat also is very good. You can even add your leftover rice in your soup if you eaten more chicken instead of the rice sincethey do add a good amount of rice in it. The wait time to pick it up took like 15-20 minutes they said and its worth the waitother than that I'd rate it a 10/10 if you like a good authentic meal Read more
The staff were really nice. I had the curry chicken and rice. The rice was good. The chicken however was fatty. Not much to my... liking. Next time I will try something crispy. Read more
I?ve had a lot of Chicken and Rice in Thailand and this place is just as good or better than what you could find in Thailand.... This place is a gem and the food is excellent and reasonable priced. If you can?t get to Thailand just come here order Khao MunKai and close you eyes and you are as close as you can get without a plane ticket! It isn?t easy to be authentic when it comesto ethnic cuisine, but Gai N? Rice pulls it off with confidence and integrity that?s hard to find! Keep up the great work andstay true to your Thai heart! I?ll definitely be back! Read more
Ordered the Take2 which included fried crispy and poached chicken. We requested thigh meat (as for the default is breast). The... meal came with jasmine rice, cucumber, a Thai chili sauce, a soybean sauce, and even a cup of a chicken broth. You get a lot offood for the price and all was delicious. I preferred the soybean sauce and would suggest dipping the chicken in both the brothand sauce for optimal flavor. Atmosphere would be great for working or studying. They also have a wide drink selection if youdon?t want food! Read more
