It's been a while since I had Thai food. The location in the middle of Nihonbashi is great, with a decent amount of seating on the second floor. They are frying the chicken for the Kaomangai! It's a popular place, but I didn't feel particularly impressed, just normal Thai food. Sometimes Thai food is not bad! It's reliably tasty!

Namba, Osaka - Gapaorice Mini Tom Yum Kung Ramen 1397 It's still hot! Thai food tastes great when it's hot! I like Khao Man Gai, but I really love Gapaorice. The Tom Yum Kung has a strong sweetness and sourness, it's quite rich. I prefer it to be a bit lighter. Gapaorice is just delicious. The fried egg on top is perfect. #Gapaorice #ThaiFood #TomYumKungRamen

I've been craving Khao Soi a lot recently ever since my trip to Thailand in January. I really like Thai food but this was my first time visiting this place. It seems like a student studying abroad, trying their best even though they don't understand the language or culture. It makes me want to cheer them on. Just like watching the intense games at Koshien, where you end up crying in a short amount of time. That's how I felt about the Khao Soi here. It was delicious enough, but I want to find a Khao Soi that suits my taste better, one that pops into my head from time to time.

Arrived at 13:00 on a regular day. I ordered and paid in advance and waited on the second floor. Arrived at 13:08. Khao Man Gai for 1,012 yen (tax included) arrived, which is a dish of white-colored appearance. The rice cooked with chicken has a rich flavor and is delicious. I personally like the dry texture of this long Thai rice. The dish includes 5 slices of light-tasting breast meat and 4 slices of juicy thigh meat. I enjoyed eating it by mixing it with the spicy sauce. The slight fattiness of the thigh meat matched well with it and was delicious. The breast meat was also delicious, but the thigh meat had a more satisfying texture and was tastier. I added some chili peppers from the condiments set on the table for a good flavor kick. The spiciness of the chili added a nice punch and made for a good flavor variation. Khao Man Gai comes with a free extra serving of rice and a choice of Oolong tea or iced coffee, so it's a good value for money. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

Located in Minami-Namba, Osaka, the Osaka Khao Man Gai Cafe offers both steamed and fried versions of Khao Man Gai. I ordered a plate with both, and it was the perfect choice. The steamed version had tender meat, while the fried one was crispy, both packed with the delicious flavor of chicken. They both paired well with the two types of sauces provided. The rice had a rich chicken broth flavor, making it delicious. I also added a mini Tai Lue Ramen to my lunch set, which was also tasty. The noodles were light and easy to eat, not leaving you feeling heavy even after finishing. The lunch set also included soup, dessert, and a drink, all for 1,200 yen. It's a very affordable lunch set. Khao Man Gai Half & Half for 850 yen, and Mini Tai Lue Ramen for 350 yen (lunch only).

I decided to stop by a Thai restaurant in Nihonbashi before it opened, which seemed quite authentic. I was debating between ordering chicken rice or something else, but ended up choosing Khao Soi. The crispy texture was amazing. This place had a lot of chicken in it, and I ended up feeling full. The mini coffee was just right.

As the name suggests, this shop mainly serves Khao Man Gai, but this time I tried their curries. They offer Massaman Curry, Red Curry, and Green Curry, all made with authentic Thai curry using Thai rice. I also ordered coriander as a topping. The curries were full of ingredients, giving a satisfying texture, and the Green Curry was not too spicy and easy to eat!

I visited before 1 p.m. on Saturday. The restaurant was empty. I had Pad Krapow last time, but there was nothing special about it, so this time I tried Tom Yum Ramen! It was delicious as it looked! It had celery, coriander, bean sprouts, and a couple of leafy vegetables, along with meat and shrimp. And nuts were sprinkled on top. It was really delicious. Is this rice noodles? It was light but not too spicy, just right, and the soup was also delicious! It was quite filling, and I broke a sweat. Haha, I recommend it.

【Situation】Solo Date - Family While exploring the area near Nihonbashi Otaku Road, all I could see were ramen, curry, and other heavy dishes. When I wasn't in the mood for that, this place was just right! I visited for lunch and had the half & half Kaomangai and mini Tom Yum Kung Ramen set. This restaurant has been around for a while, but the taste is always consistently delicious! The Tom Yum Kung Ramen that came with the set was a perfect match, I could eat this three times a day. It's a complete nutritious meal with its acidity and cilantro. Thank you for the meal!

I obtained information about a café specializing in Thai cuisine, "Khao Man Gai," in Namba, Osaka, so I decided to visit it. It is conveniently located near the nearest Osaka Metro and Nankai stations, making it easy to get to. I arrived on a certain holiday after 1:00 PM. Upon entering the café, I noticed the cashier on the right side where you have to order and pay first. I quickly checked the lunch menu on the side (see photo 2). I decided to go with the "Khao Man Gai" (935 yen) labeled as the "specialty" on the top left. Since it said "extra rice for free!!!" I naturally asked for it. After paying, I was guided to the second-floor seating area. The café was more spacious than I expected, with a seemingly large number of seats (according to Tabelog information, there are "35 tables"). The self-service water station had a casual fast-food restaurant vibe, with a slightly tropical local feel in the interior. The customers were mostly young people, with many students present, and even a few in uniforms. While there were some solo male customers, it seemed like there were more pairs of women or couples, possibly due to the nature of the food or the café concept. The food was served in about 7 minutes after paying (see photo 3). The dish included rice, chicken, a small soup, and a sauce dish. The main plate also had a cabbage salad with dressing. The rice was surprisingly light and fluffy, almost like "regular white rice." The portion was quite generous, as expected from the "extra rice" option. The chicken included two types, one being breast meat and the other thigh meat. The thigh meat was tender and juicy, while the breast meat was lean and light. The special sauce had grated garlic, giving it a strong flavor. You could mix it with the chicken or drizzle sesame oil from the table to enhance the taste. I tried different ways to apply the sauce, but found that lightly drizzling it with a spoon over the chicken worked best. After finishing the meal, I left quickly. The casual atmosphere makes it easy for young people to visit and enjoy a simple "Khao Man Gai" meal. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Visited the restaurant alone during Sunday lunchtime. Ordered the green curry set meal with an additional mini Tom Yum Kung ramen. Both dishes were delicious. It was satisfying to have tasty Thai cuisine after a long time. I definitely want to visit this restaurant regularly!

Don't forget to ask for it without cilantro. The chicken was labeled as domestically sourced, so it's reassuring. A combination of breast meat and thigh meat? That's good too. The Khao Man Gai was very delicious. The jasmine rice was also tasty. The rice has a satisfying volume, so you'll feel full. The sauce is not too spicy and delicious.

Let's go to the famous udon restaurant "Kita Takesan" and park in the parking lot. While walking, I noticed a shop that caught my eye and decided to try it out. I have always been interested in Asian cuisine such as Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean, but I rarely have the opportunity to try them. I don't often eat anything other than typical Japanese, Western, Chinese, or Italian dishes, so I was a bit nervous but excited to visit this Thai cuisine specialty restaurant. As a beginner, I wanted to try my first Khao Man Gai (Thai chicken rice) at an affordable price. I ordered and paid at the entrance counter, then sat in the second-floor seating area to wait for my food. From the lunch menu, I chose the Khao Man Gai for 850 yen. I wasn't quite sure what Khao Man Gai was, but I understood that it was boiled chicken served with rice. The tender, sliced boiled chicken meat was mixed with Thai rice (you can get a free large serving of rice). The special sweet and savory sauce added a moist texture to the dish, and I enjoyed it a lot because I love chicken dishes. The restaurant also had a special sauce called "Nam Pla" for dipping. I tried pouring some of it on the chicken and found it to be spicy and intense. It was a bit too much for me at first, but the unique flavor quickly grew on me, and I couldn't stop eating it. Just trying the special Nam Pla sauce made me satisfied with my first Khao Man Gai experience. I also ordered a "Mini Tom Yum Ramen" for 350 yen, as recommended by the waiter. It was a mini version of the famous Tom Yum Kung soup, with a generous amount of ingredients. The soup had a distinct aroma and a combination of sourness and spiciness. Even though it was called ramen, the thin noodles had a smooth and chewy texture, accompanied by bean sprouts, minced meat, finely chopped vegetables, and various spices. The dish was topped with plenty of coriander, which I have grown to love over time. Overall, I was satisfied with the unique Asian flavors and the variety of menu options available at the restaurant.

I've been going to Kaomangai Cafe Namba a lot recently, and I've become totally hooked on Thai cuisine after trying their Khao Soi. Before I knew it, I was eating Khao Man Gai all the time (laughs). They have fried Khao Man Gai and regular steamed Khao Man Gai, and the fried version is rare. I recommend trying the Half & Half, which is their most popular dish and allows you to enjoy both versions. The fried Khao Man Gai goes really well with sweet chili sauce, and it's great value for money at around 700 yen.

I suddenly felt like eating foreign cuisine, so I visited a restaurant in Osaka while sightseeing. I went during a late lunch time on a weekday. The interior had a lot of oriental atmosphere, which was nice. The menu had not only Khao Man Gai, but also a variety of Thai dishes. I ordered the regular half & half Khao Man Gai. It was quite cheap at 770 yen including tax. However, the portion was a bit small. I had eaten a lot beforehand, so the regular portion was just right for me, but if you're hungry, you might find it a bit lacking. The chicken was a bit tough and not great, but the rice was shiny and went well with the sauces, so it was delicious.

I went shopping alone in Namba on a regular day. After that, I had some business in Nihonbashi, so I decided to enjoy some Thai food at a Kaomangai Cafe for lunch along the way. I paid at the entrance and waited for my order on the second floor. I helped myself to water and other items that were provided along the wall. From the many lunch menu options, I chose the Khao Soi. The coconut curry soup contained chewy thick egg noodles, topped with onions and cilantro, and garnished with crispy noodles. The soup was delicious, with just the right amount of spice and creaminess. Adding a little chili oil made it even tastier. It also came with a generous serving of rice, so it was quite a filling meal. Although it was tempting to mix the soup and rice later on... I couldn't finish all the rice, which was a bit disappointing. I think even men would be satisfied with the portion size.

I came to "Osaka Khao Man Gai Cafe"! It seems to have been in business for quite a long time as far as I know. I ordered Khao Man Gai, which was pretty basic. It goes well with Singha beer! There were also various other menu items that I would like to try!

I went to Kaomangai Cafe in Ura-Namba. Ura-Namba was quite lively, as if the pandemic had ended. It was my first time having a meal in Ura-Namba, and I felt a festive atmosphere. I had tried Kaomangai at a different restaurant before, and the fried Kaomangai was delicious. The Thai atmosphere was nice.

If you want to eat Thai food around Namba, I recommend Osaka Kaomangai Cafe. It is located a little south of Ura Namba, just off Nansan Street and a short walk from Nakahashi-suji. There is a small open terrace-like seating on the first floor, so it might catch your eye. The interior is two stories high and surprisingly spacious, so even if it looks a bit crowded, I recommend giving it a try. You can order from the tablet placed on the table. There are plenty of standard menu options, but the recommended dishes are "Pad Thai" (Thai-style fried noodles), "Popikuantoto" (fried shrimp spring rolls), "Popia Sod" (fresh spring rolls), and more. If you want to eat delicious Thai food with peace of mind, this is a recommended restaurant.

The appearance and the food both seem very authentic! (I haven't been there though lol) The local atmosphere is great♥︎ You order at the register and pay in advance, so it might be better to decide on your order from the menu at the entrance before entering♡ ■ Gapao Rice ¥902 I was torn between Kaomangai and Gapao, but I like spicy food so I went with Gapao✧ The fish sauce flavor is strong, and it feels like the most authentic Gapao I've ever had. Maybe the Gapao I've had before was more catered towards Japanese taste. I like the spicy taste, but I felt a bit hesitant towards the unfamiliar seasoning and the chicken with cooked Thai rice aroma. It made me think, "Is this the real taste...?" On the contrary, it made me want to challenge more authentic Thai cuisine (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
