Queens Thai Chicken-and-Rice Favorite Is Expanding to Manhattan
A Queens restaurant known for its Thai take on the Hainanese chicken and rice (khao man gai) is making its way into Manhattan. Eim Khao Mun Kai will be opening in the East Village on 129 Second Avenue, near St. Marks Place, as reported by EV Grieve. There doesn't seem to be an opening date yet; its Instagram notes that it'll keep expanding with 'more coming soon.' Eater has reached out for more information.
Owner Krianganan Rawiophap opened the restaurant in Elmhurst in 2014. Chef Srivaset Sajchaacharamontri's khao man gai features chicken poached in a gingery broth and served with ginger rice and cucumbers. This impending Manhattan location took over the space formerly home to ramen restaurant Misoya, which closed in April. Hamptons lobster pops up in NYC
