About Us
Family-run Thai chicken rice counter on the Hardware Lane corner of Lonsdale Street, opened in 2022 by Bangkok-born Chorlada "Corey" Ratchatapat and Nonthawat "Nathan" Kongsarai (Broadsheet, SBS Food). Press and city listings describe it as Australia's first restaurant dedicated to khao man gai: jasmine rice cooked in chicken broth with garlic and ginger, served with poached or fried chicken, cucumber, clear broth, and tao jiew or peanut sauce — about nine rice-plate variations plus a combo (Piset). The short laminated menu also lists chicken curries, tom yum noodles, crab rangoon, and Thai milk teas; the room is licensed (Singha, Miss Thailand cocktail per Time Out). QR-code ordering, tight indoor tables, and terrace seating on the lane. No owned Australian website; Instagram and Uber Eats are the live digital menu surfaces.
