"A Queens-born restaurant known for its Thai take on Hainanese chicken and rice (khao man gai) is expanding to the East Village at 129 Second Avenue, near St. Mark’s Place; no opening date has been announced and its Instagram teases further expansion. Founded in Elmhurst in 2014 by owner Krianganan Rawiophap, the operation highlights chef Srivaset Sajchaacharamontri’s khao man gai—chicken poached in a gingery broth served with ginger rice and cucumbers—and will occupy the space formerly home to a ramen shop." - Nadia Chaudhury
