    Kow Mun Gai-Combo $ 16.50 07.03.26
    Mimi J.

    Review 75/365 Day Challenge review Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch w my hubs & our babygirl. Celebrating my Birthday/along w our 15th Wedding Anniversary. 07.03.26 Was were seated right away when we got here. What we ordered ~ Lucky Gai is seared crying Tiger w a specialty sauce they have to dip the sliced up steak in. The marination for the meat was really yummy and tasty. ~ Beef Fried Rice tastes like every good thai fried rice should taste like. ~ Kow Mun Gai Duo with both Fried & Poached chicken in Mighty size. Came here specifically for this and boy i just say. It's pretty scrumptious. Definitely recommended. I crave for this thai dish every now and then. It's a thai staple dish to enjoy even everyday. Comes w a small chicken soup broth that's in a cute teacup size. Accompanied by 4 style if dipping sauces to your liking. The chicken Either it's the poached or fried was tender. LOVE LOVE how the dipping sauce for the Kow Mun Gai bottles was labeled which helped tremendously. ~ Thai iced tea tasted a bit off. Like it taste a bit plastic. Their thai tea seems to be in a dispenser behind the counter. I wonder if that had a role into the taste a bit. It's not as bad as where it's not drinkable but definitely leaves somewhat of a plastic taste after each time you Gulp the drink down. I was gonna tell Ryan but the restaurant was a tad bit busy during lunch. Along Ryan went in the back because another associated came and end up assisting with servicing the other guests along close out our tab to pay. Owner Ryan was really Social and awesome at greeting us along checking in occasionally if everything was fine and if we needed anything. He seems to be the only associate tending to all of the guests. Which was pretty good for about 6/7 other tables with a couple or a group dining in. They have a great amount of wooden table set up right outside the restaurant. Their restaurant is a Fox mascot which i thought was pretty cute. You see Foxes around the entire restaurant including in the restroom even Ryan had a cute button up shirt w the fox character on it. Lots of parking right outside the restaurant. They have a lot of daily deals/promos. Including student gets 10% off and Especially on your birthday/1 day b4 or 1 day afterwards, free entree up to $ 16 is free for the Birthday Celebrant. ONLY THING I didn't like with the atmosphere was there were a lot of flies in the restaurant. The entrance door to the restaurant was open and we were one of the tables near the entrance. It even bothered another guests and his kids. With flies flying around inside the restaurant was unpleasant and hard to enjoy your meals dining in because we were busy Choo~ ing the flies away. I even saw it on the kids and their parents face w the fly flying constantly around their table. If i could've deducted a half star on yelp. This would really be my concern and issue w our dining in experience.

    I got the Hainan chicken dish poached and fried. It was a great combination of both and I really enjoyed it. This was the first time I ever tried Hainan chicken and it was great. I can't wait to try their other dishes on their menu.

    The location is a little bit tucked away but definitely worth the find! Just a Mom and Pop shop with the nicest staff. Authentic flavors and great portions. The Thai tea is sweet and strong. Highly recommend if you go during lunch. Lol Pad see ew had great wok hei & fresh ingredients. The wings were crispy and delicious. Looking forward to coming back soon! Chang beer from Thailand is refreshing with the meal. I will have to look for this in the supermarkets!

    Hainan chicken, great deal+really good!

    Took me a while, but I finally found my new go-to Thai spot in oc (plus Hainan chicken!). I ordered the crispy Hainan chicken, edamame, dumplings, and mango sticky rice, everything was super fresh and well-seasoned. The sauces that come with the chicken are a standout (pro tip: mix them all together... you won't regret it). The tamarind sauce was also great on its own. Service was amazing; warm, welcoming, and it honestly felt like eating at someone's home with their family. The location is a little hard to find, but that just makes it feel like a hidden gem

    I'm a big fan of this place!! It's located in an odd spot right under the bridge. When you turn into it, you'll be a bit confused, but it's perfect! Quiet location without a lot of foot traffic unless it's restaurant patrons. We always park right in front. There is limited seating and it's best to call for big parties a head of time. The chairs are cute and the interior is captivating; it feels just like home. Whenever I come, I order the Hainan chicken combo. It has the crispy chicken and the poached chicken with a bed of garlic rice or garlic noodles. You can also make your own combinations of sauces right next to that table. To compliment my meal, I usually order their beer or get the lychee martini. It's super cute and refreshing! The workers here are always polite and upbeat. They don't bother you and are very mindful of remind you your needs. Again, I love coming here. Can't wait to make the trip back!

    Great location with lots of parking in front. There are plenty of seatings both indoors and outdoors. Good for big group. We came around 9pm and there are plenty of seatings. The service was fast and courteous. We got the yellow curry and the duo kow mun gai. Both were very delicious. The chicken is fried to perfection, not too greasy, but super flavorful. We also got 2 drinks, Thai tea and Lemonade Thai tea, tho they're alright in my opinion.

    Coming in atmosphere was good aroma of spices fill the room as i make my order. Server came with water first and greeted me as i order the tom yum soup with rice food came out around 20min but came steamy hot. Restaurant was a little busy around 12. For sure can understand why, food came out great.

    An absolute must!!! 100% authentic and 200% delicious. It's owned by a husband and wife, she runs the back of the house as head chef and he runs the front of the house. The wife is originally from Thailand and they seem to visit often, so not only is the food out of this world but he can tell you everything you want to know about it, from the protein that pairs best with a dish to how it differs from similar dishes in Asia. The ambiance is inviting, authentic, and a tad quirky, just like the service, but in the best possible way. They have patio seating also. 8 of us went so we got to try a little bit of almost everything. Every bite of every dish was outstanding. I couldn't stop eating my friend's yellow curry. I'm definitely getting that next time. I got the Foxy Kiss with chicken which was served with rice and a fried egg. Amazing! I honestly can't wait to go back. Our friends are regulars there, and now we will be too.

    I did a cookie decorating class next door a few weeks ago with my wife and sister-in-law and I snuck in here to order food before the class started and the food was bomb. I can't remember what I ordered but my sister also ordered dumplings and I got a milk tea and it was so good! The restaurant offered a mini discount for the class next door and they even delivered it to us! Lol I call that excellent customer service. The restaurant itself was clean and nice-they had tables outside or inside to eat!

    I'd order their pad thai again

    I feel like every family has their cozy go-to Thai restaurant that they absolutely swear by because it's what they grew up with. For my family, it's Jumpa Thai in Garden Grove, CA. While I love, love, love all the amazing memories we've made there, I recognize that you can have love in your heart for more than one Thai restaurant. I encourage everyone to get out of their comfort zone and continue to explore new spots. You never know -- you might find your new fave!!!! And if not, that's okay because you're still supporting small biz :^) So now onto why I sought out Luck Gai Cafe specifically -- one of my best friends has been complaining about his stomach hurting, and I suggested we get hainan chicken for dinner. It's like when your dog is sick and you have to feed them a "clean" meal like steamed chicken and rice, LMAO..... and naturally, it's what I thought my dawg needed. **Hainan chicken** We got a large poached chicken, and I personally feel like it was portioned for one person instead of two. I think I would order just white meat without chicken skin next time since that's my preference, but my friend really liked the dish and he's been here multiple times. It was my first time at Luck Gai and it made realize that I'm more into Chinese/Vietnamese Hainan chicken. I was bummed that I didn't get pickled cabbage or the usual sauces (chili-ginger sauce and ginger-scallion oil) with my meal. To make things clear: the sauces they offered weren't bad by any means. I was just looking for something different and this is my trivial take. I would probably still order the dish again in the future because the rice and soup were delicious. **Pad Thai** I think it's easier to order bad pad thai than it is to find good. It's just a fact of life. On our end, w ise got lucky with the Luck Gai's pad thai being absolutely scrumptious. The noodles were cooked au dente, sauce ratio was perfect, and shrimps were juicy. What more can you ask for? I would order this dish again, and probably also try other recommended items on their menu such as their pad see ew.

    Mighty Chicken Combo
    Shirley W.

    Was curious to try this place since it's very highly rated, but let's see how it compares to other hainan chicken restaurants from the 626... First walking in, it's a very small quaint shop. I was unsure what type of service this restaurant had, there wasn't a "please wait to be seated" sign or anything, so I assume you just order at the cashier and pick it up to your table or something. I was greeted by the cashier and was told I could sit anywhere since there wasn't really anyone in the restaurant. She handed me the menu and then... it was a long period of time whether I was suppose to wait for her to come and I order, or am I supposed to just go up there myself.... So I just went ahead and ordered at the cashier and everything, no big deal. It didn't take too long for my order to be prepared. She actually handed me utensils and my meal to the table, and handed my food as well. So I guess it probably was a sit-down service...? lol I got the mighty combo, which I wanted to try both the poach chicken and the fried chicken. I like how they offered a variety of sauces and listed which tasted better with what. I also liked how they added a small side salad and soup, which is a pretty nice set. Now onto the chicken, the rice was pretty enjoyable, I wish it was softer though. The poached chicken was kinda mid, nothing really too special. It also had cartilage in every piece so not sure if that was normal... The fried chicken tasted better, has more unique textures to eating it, but the batter itself gets boring the more you eat it, or at least it just tastes cheap. I ended up enjoying the fried chicken one more, but honestly for the quality compared to other places I had in the 626, it's not that comparable. It's probably just highly rated around this area, but the meal was just okay. In the end, service was pretty slow. I saw others waiting for their order and they feel like they were just dreading to be there waiting for their food. I ended up just going up to the counter and get my own to-go box and packed it. Service was pretty slow and questionable, but it's only one worker on the floor. They really should have another person helping her if this was a sit down restaurant.

    A hole in the wall type place! Their restaurant in tucked in a narrow business plaza near the big street. They have outdoor seating that allows dogs which is really nice. My server was really friendly and was a jokester! I didn't catch his name but he was very friendly. Portions were decent and I liked that they give you a whole tray of sauce per person so you can have as much sauce as you want. The chicken itself was very clean tasting but I wish they had a skin-less option!

    Emily L.

    I had no expectations of this restaurant when I walked in and I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken dish was pretty good and it is a pretty big portion. The egg rolls were light and crispy! The tom kha was actually very sour (so depends on your preference of how sour you like it! Just to note, it wasn't spicy at all, even though we got level 2. The workers are kind and it's a nice and clean seating area!

Chick-N-Out was one of the most highly rated places in Anaheim California. Chick-N-Out is located on Ball Road near Disneyland. It's open daily from 5:00 P.M to 11:00 P.M. Extended hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. This pop up food truck offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, French Fries, wraps, nachos, tenders and more! Most of their combo meals cost between $18.00-$20.00 each. My husband and I both ordered a chicken sandwich combo. My Chicken sandwich only had pickles on it, but he had everything added to his sandwich! There were a few customers ahead of us, so we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the order. After we got our meal, we decided to eat it in our car fresh instead of bringing it back to the hotel. The chicken sandwich was so delicious! It was super crunchy. I think it was deep fried with the corn flake crust. It was one of the more unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was relatively thin, but still scrumptious! I haven't had anything like this before! The French Fries were good. They needed a little bit more salt for me. The Cajun corn was slightly spicy. The cooks in the food truck prepare the orders from scratch. While we were waiting for the order, we saw a lot of the chicken cutlets being prepared and deep fried. I really enjoyed eating at Chick-N-Out. It's one of my new favorite places to eat at near Disneyland!

Customer service is amazing the cashier was super sweet. Eating area is clean. Lighting is great & soothing. Not too bright which is amazing, hospital lighting is awful. Refill station (A lot of chicken spots don't have refill stations which is crazy ) Cons: The wait time was really long (15-20 mins for a 2 tender combo) even though there were 2 other customers. They forgot our drink (we had to ask for) no biggie but It would've been nice if got the whole combo at once. Fries were amazing don't get me wrong, but I wish It had some seasoning!!! The chicken was dry :/, tiniest bit of toughness on a few bites, not much crunch on the chicken, needs more breading. There was also a roach in the bathroom which kinda shook me, the bathroom was clean & so was the eating area. Overall the only thing that was 10/10 was the bread and the waffle fries. Everything else is good or average :)

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

Anyways back to the food, I ordered a medium spice hot mozz & 1 medium and 1 mild tender. The mozz was warm not hot but still had a good cheese pull. None of them were spicy, by the reviews on social media I was expecting it to be spicy, but it literally had NO SPICE at all. The chicken was not dry, but it was not juicy nor tender, like a in between. It was super salty! No contrast in flavor, no sweetness, no spice, just salt! Same with the fries, salty, hard and cold, not the crunchy on the outside soft in the middle hard. Just hard. Also there was a lot of breading on the chicken but only 1 good crunch on the first bite of each tender. I do not have a high spice tolerance, neither does my brother and friend, they both agreed and said it was not spicy. The sauce is good, the ice is amazing and it had a good cheese-pull tho. People make it seem so good, maybe its just the location.

    It's been a while since my last review, but I'm back and here to backlog some of my eating…read moreadventures! Nava is conveniently close to me and they have a lunch special. So of course, I gave it a try since I love a good deal and I love Thai food. I got the pad see ew with chicken and yellow curry with chicken. Both lunch specials. I did take out so I can't really speak to the ambiance. However, the restaurant isn't too big and it's nothing noteworthy. When placing the online order, they take your payment online so all I had to do was walk in and pick up at the cashier area. When I brought it home, I dug into the food. At first, it didn't look like there was a lot of food, but once I started eating, I noticed that it was actually a fair portion for the pad see ew. The yellow curry was also nice because you were able to select the level of spice. I selected medium and it had a nice heat to it all in all. It was really good. I appreciate that the food wasn't overly salty but had good flavors. The lunch specials also came with some fried wonton looking items which was really tasty as well. I would definitely check it out if you're in the area, even though the appearance on the outside, doesn't look anything special and the location is somewhat questionable. Don't let that deter you from coming in though!

    More like 3.5 stars.. Ordered takeout; here's what we got:…read moreChicken pad Thai 3/5: good flavor, but could use a bit more protein. Pork spicy basil 2/5: this had a shockingly, tiny portion of protein and was 3/4 veggies, of which some were big slices of onion. Flavor was just OK, spice level was good. For $15 this was a definite letdown. Chicken panang 4/5: this one is solid. Flavor and spice are good, not a generous amount of protein, but was as expected for the price of the dish. Bbq ribs 3/5: very tender, tastes more like American bbq. Again a bit stingy on the protein with just 4 medium sized ribs and a tiny pinky sized rib (so I guess 1/4 rib?) for $18. Free cream cheese wontons with $50+ order 5/5: Nothing special, just cream cheese, but I always appreciate when a business gives perks like this.
