We stopped by here for a quick lunch. The chicken rice is quite decent and tasty. A nice surprise was also they serve their version of satay ie barbecued pork on skewers with a peanut sauce. The pork satay turned out to be quite good as well. Worth a try.

Tender steamed and perfectly crispy chicken for a morning breakfast… if it’s your thing… and it is definitely my thing. Ask for less sugar in the coffee unless you like it sweet sweet.

A simple and no frill restaurant serving chicken rice. They have fried and boiled chicken. The place is clean and the service is friendly. They were also recommended by Michelin in 2021. The boiled chicken is fragrant and tender. It is cooked to perfection and delicious. The fried chicken is acceptable but I prefer the boiled version. Soup is clear and tasty. The rice is fragrant, but lacks the long grain bite textures. A nice chicken rice to visit if you are in the neighborhood.

Pretty good chicken and rice. Boiled chicken was on point. Very moist as well as the flavorful rice. The sauce was nice as well. Not too tangy a bit on the sweet side. The soup was good as well with a rich chicken onion ginger flavor. Service was fast. Silverware was on the table. They had seating for about 25. Up there top 5 chicken and rice locations I have tried. Opens Early, good for breakfast. 50baht for the regular portion.
