This extra-crispy Thai fried chicken goes into the OMG category of delicious local food.
Crispy Gai is a takeout-only concept currently operating in Monument Square with a singular focus on chicken (‘gai’ in Thai). Daily sell-outs have trained locals to place orders early for pick-up later in the day, particularly for the sweet and sour Issan glazed nuggets. Everything on the menu is enticing, from sandwiches, wings, and combo buckets to salads that complement the chili heat with cilantro and lemongrass. Dipping sauces adds even more flavor. The portion sizes are extra-generous, perfect for sharing with a group or bringing to a party as we did with our latest order.
There’s a move to Exchange Street in the works, so stay tuned to Crispy Gai here for updates on their location and order hours.
