“It was good. The chicken was solid, and the rice was excellent. Overall though, I have to admit I was glad to have tried it but won’t make an effort to return.”

“My favorite option for Thai style Hainanese chicken rice. They just give you a sauce w/ the order, but it's really good.”

“They're both fantastic, Eim gives you the full sauce compliment for you to mix and match your own, Me gives you a specific sauce per dish (but their sauce is awesome).”

replying to u/rrmj8972: ah this is super helpful, thanks! Knew I should have provided more info but was just putting initial feelers out there. - Aiming to get at least 15-20 meals out of this. I’ll be solo for most of the meals so individual prices would be like…$100-200 on a splurge (referring to your fine dining comment, but would only do something like this 2-3 times tops), and would be fine going up to around $50 for most other meals. - Alcohol isn’t a priority, but always a nice bonus. Would not turn a place down for not having alcohol - Train in from Westchester to Grand Central, about 45 minutes. 100% fine (and excited) by prospect of going to outer boroughs - Wish I could say everything because it’s true, but to list the favorites - good pizza (i’ve carved out a bunch of spots here, for instance have never been able to get a dinner res at rubirosa or wait in line at mamas too), Italian, Thai (recently had an early lunch at soothr which sparked this whole idea), sushi, chinese (also got res at din tai fung), vietnamese, american (burgers, bbq, sandwiches). But again, for outstanding spots i won’t be picky. Basically, hoping to accomplish two things: 1) rediscover the food scene of NY that’s been absent in my life for past few years 2) have the access to places for lunch hours that would normally be tough (Soothr example above is perfect example) Thanks again for your time!
“Eim Khao Man Gai is another good option, but I really love the sauce for the boiled chicken at Me (though their fried chicken is also stellar).”

“The rice was very good, so if the other chicken options are better, it’d definitely take this up a few notches.”
