Gosh, I love this place! The food is spectacular, and the fried chicken even arrives still crispy when I get it delivered. I first learned about GAI Chicken & Rice when my work catered from them for a lunch. This is probably the most popular lunch place we’ve ever ordered from at work! Since then, I’ve ordered food there myself numerous times, and it always hits the spot. My go-to is the salad gai with crispy chicken, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! I highly recommend!!
