replying to u/Appropriate-Tie-6524: Very good, and super authentic. The is a place on Fulton called just Gai, and it's not as good, but still alright.

replying to u/nyckidd: My dude, I got you. I've been working down there for almost 3 years and I take my lunch seriously. Pisillos Italian Panini and Omars Mediterranean are two iconic spots. They'll both run you slightly over 20 bucks but the Pisillos sandwiches are legitimately the biggest I've ever gotten, I have a very healthy appetite and I still get two full meals out of one of thei sandwiches. They're cash only btw. Omars is similar, 21 bucks for a plate, but it's massive (especially if you get it to go rather than to stay), easily food for two meals, and incredibly tasty. For more regular chain spots, you can go to the Brookfield Place food court, Dig, Naya, and Dos Toros are all solid options that will run you about 15 bucks. Honorable mention to Gai Chicken and Rice, they have great Thai style fried chicken and their French fries are better than they have any right to be. On the cheaper side, there's also Sakura Teriyaki of Japan, perfectly servicable plate of Teriyaki for like 10 bucks. Lastly, there's Takahachi Bakery on Murray Street, this is a phenomenal Japanese bakery with great prices, their cream buns are so fucking good. Perfect if you want something sweet, though they also sell fairly prices sandwiches to go and have great tea. Enjoy your lunch!

replying to u/Unlucky_Combination4: strangely enough, I work on third..at a meeting yesterday the client said “what’s Gai chicken?” I said “huh?” she pointed to the joint across the street diagonally over my shoulder. It was this place. I said “I dunno, look it up”, then we talked about chicken and rice a good while. Weird. Now I’ll have to try it
“Yea give it a try. Hope you like it!”
