Kao Mun Gai — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

Went in on a whim, how can you go wrong trying some more chicken, rice or boba?

Ordered steamed chicken and crispy chicken, both were enjoyable depending on your mood, the steamed chicken is just that and the crispy chicken has some added flavor/texture from the breading.

Similarly, the steamed and fried rice were savory enough together, less savory was the steamed rice and more savory was the fried rice. Either could be a nice side or a wonderful mix with the chicken and sauces.

The sauces were flavorful if you wanted additional variety or to mix for melded appetites. Three sauces were offered.

Offered sauces: A ginger sauce, mostly fresh ginger and fresh garlic. Think fresh sweet and spicy (don't think hot spicy more like under the nose spicy). • Very very enticing for those who like this blend. A Thai chili sauce. More sweet, not spicy. • Definitely for someone looking for the second level of sweet or spicy. A sauce like Nam Pla Wan, mostly sweet and salty. Think brown sugar, shallots and fish sauce combination. •Slightly savory.

With the meal was an offered a clear broth soup with cilantro notes and a slice or two of potato. Cilantro and cucumber were also offered as a garnish or palette cleanser on the side for any part of the meal.

Although I didn't get boba, I tried my partner's. The texture and taste of the boba were chewy, not gummy, and just sweet enough they didn't take over the drink. The actual beverages of choice were wonderful too.

Service was polite and brisk. The folks handling orders, drinks and food were all pleasant.

Atmosphere was quiet and quaint. Definitely a place to stop in and get takeout or a quick drink.

I imagine the other offerings would be just as wonderful!

Surprisingly very delicious! This concept is not really my thing— but my boyfriend has been wanting to go since they opened. Last night we walked over to try it for the first time. To break it down, they serve just a couple dishes. They have options for pad thai and then they serve kao mung gai. Kao mung gai is chicken, steamed or fried, rice, cucumbers, soup, and sauces.

To give you an idea of what kao mung gai is they have a few plates to the left of the register mocked up with the dish choices. These honestly made me less inclined to try it as the steamed chicken looked wholly unappetizing. So it was no surprise when I got the dish with fried chicken in lieu of the steamed.

The interior of the restaurant is pretty small. They have only one table to be used and then some stools that run along the back of the prep area, where there is no surface to put your plate.

We sat at the only available table. When I asked for a cup of water they told me they only had bottled water available. That was disappointing to me.

However, my boyfriend really loved his drink. This restaurant serves several options of boba tea, coffee, and other drinks. He tried the iced coffee and thought it was very good.

Service was very friendly! She was helpful and seemed to really enjoy having us in. Another couple came by at the same time to eat there but left because there was nowhere to sit. Prices were also very fair for the teas and the food. Serving sizes were appropriate.

I don’t think I would go back just because it is not really my preferred choice. I do know that my boyfriend will be going back more often now. He already made plans to go back for lunch with his dad.

Thank you! I hope this little business...

I was running errands near this place and had no idea what it was but as I left the store I was in, I smelled the aroma of their delicious food which was two stores over & figured I had to try it. & Let me tell you- that was the right choice! Following the delicious smell did not fail me.

Got the fried Thai chicken & steamed rice combo with green tea lemonade & everything was delicious. The fried chicken was cooked almost perfectly, the steamed rice has good flavor as it’s cooked in or with chicken broth, & the green tea lemonade hit the spot & was light & refreshing. But the highlight of my meal would have to be the orange colored sauce which I think is their version of a sweet & sour with a little spice to it, which they make in house I believe (so it’s not processed with weird ingredients & is probably why the sauce is so good), I loved how it had the added spice, chili pepper flavors in the sweet & sour sauce, it pairs beautifully with the fried Thai chicken & rice.

Food came out pretty fast & very fresh. No complaints whatsoever, it is a small little place though so beware that there is limited seating (but it’s usually not overly busy anyways & I have never had trouble finding a table for 1-2.)

I Would highly recommend & I will be back. 9 or 9.5 out of 10. Only thing that could be improved would be the drink prices & possibly the soup they include with the combos but still not complaining as the food is reasonably priced, fresh, & tastes excellent! Can’t ask for much more than that 10/10 keep it up!

It’s insane that more people don’t know about this place. It’s amazing. Way better than any chicken I’ve had at Pei Wei (although it is a...
