★★★★★ 5.0 Addie Prezant · Nov 2025

What a treat to find this place on a chilly night. We noticed this was a new restaurant and decided to give it a try and we were so glad we did. When we came in, we were greeted warmly by Tom. Atmosphere was super inviting, clean, and friendly. You can bring your own bottle of wine or beer and they charge a Reasonable corking fee of two dollars. We had the pad Thai, the noodle soup, and a taro puff as an appetizer. For dessert, we had the warm coconut pudding. Prices were reasonable 😊The food was the highest quality and we will definitely go again!

Will definitely be back for the perfectly fried chicken n rice dish and warm coconut pudding and mango sticky rice desserts. All fresh and delicious! Friends enjoyed the grilled chicken and rice and Tom Yum soup entrees on this rainy afternoon. Friendly, attentive service and reasonable prices. Great find. Give this new spot a try! Pics don’t do justice to the taste 😋

It’s authentic Thai dishes for Kaw Man Kai (chicken with rice). The sauce is very good like eat in Thailand. I ordered Kai Tod Had Yai to go and the flavour is very good as well. The staff is really nice and friendly. Would go back again for more food to try. Really recommend to try this new place with authentic this dish.

The newest food offering on Clark Street. This place’s speciality is Thai Chicken rice cooked 3 ways. The inside of the restaurant is small but tastefully decorated. Lots of great items on the menu so I guess I’m going to have to go again to try their noodles which looked good too. To start we had the curry puffs and fried chicken. Both were delicious and crispy. The piece de resistance is most definitely the chicken rice. I tried the steamed version which came with a bowl of soup and your choice of dipping sauce. The rice was tasty and you could tell it was cooked with the stock of the chicken - so good (and you can order more as a side). The ginger garlic dipping sauce was slightly spicy but paired well with the chicken. If I think there is anything I would suggest is that $2 for a side

Friendly service, delicious food and colorful chicken wallpaper can all be found at Kookkook Khoa Man Kai. This dish (Khao man kai) is my ultimate comfort food dish. I seek it out everywhere I go and it’s sometimes hit or miss but they got a hit here. The broth, the rice and of course the chicken are all spot on. They also have a delicious sauce that brings it all together. There are different options of chicken to go with the rice too. In addition to steamed, there are grilled and fried options. All very tasty and you can’t go wrong with any choice. This was the first of what will be many future visits, I’m sure!
