This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

I appreciated the hot tea while waiting for my to go order. Great chicken and rice and the location is close enough to hike to Dolores Park and have a picnic there. I liked both the ginger sauce and the Thai soy, the lean chicken wasn't dry, though I think I like the original better. I wasn't a big fan of the broth, it was just ok, the green onions tough (wish they were cut thinner or at least cooked a bit, they were not green and tender enough to be raw.) The mango coconut jello was so good and I wish I bought more

Great concept, but unfortunately a mediocre execution on flavor and preparation. Crispy Gai had an oily, slightly crunchy crust; the accompanying chicken schmaltz rice however was fragrant and flavorful. Mala Dan Dan sauce was far from what is advertised. Virtually no numbing sensation, just hoisin sauce mixed with trace amounts of a nut paste and a little chilli spice.

Not busy. Quick service. Simple menu. Chicken was good tasty and crispy. Sauces are flavorful. Rice was cooked well too. Their food certainly lived up to this restaurants name! (Would've been crazy if not). They have more than just simple chicken and rice on their menu actually so I kinda wanna come back more and try out everything. Yay seemed decently fairly priced too I think.

Delicious and simple combinations served in an aesthetic interior. This restaurant just serves chicken plus rice, and does it really well. I ordered the Crispy Gai, which was like chicken katsu over chicken-y rice, with some julienned cucumbers. There was a choice of sauces, but they weren't really necessary in my opinion. The chicken was tender and juicy and the rice was perfectly cooked. It came in a cardboard food container and with a little cup of chicken broth to drink. I also had some Thai iced tea, which tasted as expected. My total was a bit over $20. There's a restroom and plenty of seating, with options for people dining solo and groups. The interior is also nicely decorated if you'd like to post some photos on social media.

Gai by far is the best chicken rice in town. Not only they have authentic singaporean hainan sauce but also they offer thai sauce which is so good! The chicken rice is highly customizable with the choices of dark meat or whit meat. One thing should be mentioned here is also the soup, which tastes superb. Last but not least, we also try the salad gai, that comes with two sauces, and tastes like authentic thai salad.
