Nong's Khao Man Gai has served chicken and rice from its SE Ankeny storefront since 2009, with a second location now open downtown. The menu stays narrow: the classic chicken and rice, vegetarian and vegan versions of the same dish, and liver available on request.
The accompanying sauce gets treated as its own attraction — Nong's bottles and ships it across the US, alongside merch and meal kits for people trying to replicate the dish at home.
The Infatuation scored it 8.6/10.
