Nong's Khao Man Gai has been serving chicken and rice since 2009, and the downtown location keeps that same narrow focus: one dish, done one way, with vegetarian and vegan versions available for anyone skipping the chicken. The dish itself — Thai-style poached chicken over rice — is built around Nong's sauce, which has become enough of its own draw that it's now bottled and sold separately for people cooking it at home.
Ordering is quick and counter-style, keeping the emphasis on the food rather than any ceremony around it. Beyond the counter, Nong's has expanded into catering for offices and events and now offers meal kits for cooking the dish at home.
Nong's Khao Man Gai was a James Beard Foundation Best Chef semifinalist in 2018.
