This quick-eats hole-in-the-wall place makes one dish (with a vegetarian variation) – khao mun gai (Thai-style chicken and rice), made with organic poached chicken, white or brown rice, and flavor-packed chili sauce on the side. Add $2 for veggies. The only drawback is limited seating; consider getting it to go.
