We trained at a restaurant called ``Green Khao Man Gai,'' and we have recreated the taste of this dish as closely as possible. The chicken, which is the key to Khao Man Gai, is a whole chicken from Thailand, and as a result of being careful about the temperature and timing of boiling, the meat is extremely tender and the flavor is concentrated in the meat. In addition, the rice is not high-quality jasmine rice, but rather aims to have the same taste as the food at the food stalls, and uses rice that is similar to the rice used at the food stalls. It has a chewy texture that absorbs the flavor of chicken and the scent of garlic, and it's a taste that makes you want to eat it. And the special sauce is It's a secret mixture of chili peppers and other aromatic vegetables and Thai sauce, which gives it a good balance of sweetness, spiciness, and sourness. This goes well with chicken and rice, so be careful as you'll end up pouring a lot of it on. Khao Man Gai stands out from other restaurants because of its local feel. [2nd to 4th pictures] "Pad Thai with head shrimp (980 yen)" What is Pad Thai? Thai yakisoba is a type of yakisoba made with flat rice flour noodles.In addition to the noodles, it also contains bean sprouts, eggs, green onions, and nuts, making it a dish with a variety of textures that you can enjoy. This time I chose shrimp with heads. It contains several large shrimp and is visually pleasing. The seasoning is a little sweet, and I personally recommend eating it with a little bit of the fish sauce that comes with it. With its sweetness and unique salty taste, it is sure to become addictive. [5th ​​photo] "Shrimp spring rolls (680 yen)" This fresh spring roll is It contains bean sprouts, crab sticks, lettuce, and some shrimp. Fresh spring rolls eaten at Thai restaurants often contain a variety of vegetables such as cucumbers, but here, in order to give a local feel, the ingredients are mostly made up of lettuce, crab sticks, etc. was. However, it was quite voluminous and could have served about 4 people, so I thought it was a very good value for money. [6th photo] "Vermicelli salad (780 yen)" This salad from the salad menu is a loaded salad with vermicelli and various ingredients. In addition to the vermicelli, the ingredients include ground chicken, onions, dried shrimp, steamed shrimp, coriander, celery, and green chili peppers, so you can enjoy the unique aroma, spiciness, and sourness no matter where you eat it. As expected, the vermicelli itself doesn't have a very strong flavor, so I definitely recommend this salad to those who like flavored vegetables and spices. [7th to 8th photo] "Chicken coconut milk soup (780 yen)" This menu item, which you don't often see at Thai restaurants in Japan, is a hotpot soup made with mushrooms, onions, and minced chicken simmered in coconut milk. It has a very rich flavor, but it also has a slightly tom yum-like base, so you can enjoy the sourness and spiciness. There is some coriander in it, but honestly I didn't really feel it, so if you like coriander, I recommend ordering extra coriander. [9th photo] "Thai stall mango lassi float (480 yen)" This, which I ordered instead of dessert, was a truly tropical sweet with coconut ice cream on top of a rich mango lassi. Although it was quite large and voluminous, it was an oasis-like drink that went perfectly with spicy dishes. 【summary】 "Thai Stall 999 (Khaokao Kao)" opened in 2020 inside "Hibiya Gourmaison" located under the elevated JR line in Hibiya. The concept of this restaurant is to recreate Thai street food stalls, and the atmosphere and taste are close to those of the local food. It's not a high-end restaurant, but a street food restaurant, so you can enjoy a different flavor than you'd find in a restaurant in Japan. The atmosphere and taste became so popular that it has now become a chain restaurant with six locations in Tokyo and the Kansai region. Visited on this day at 18:00 on a holiday. When I visited, it was a little early, so the place was only 20-30% crowded, but it gradually increased and by 7:30 pm, it was almost full. The location may be a factor, but it also stood out among the Hibiya Gourmet Zone, so it's probably the good taste and atmosphere. I think it takes a lot of courage to try a food stall in Thailand for the first time without any prior preparation, so it might be a good idea to get used to it here first before going. By the way, 9 (khao) is said to be an auspicious number in Thailand, and this restaurant with three numbers in a row is said to bring good luck, so I would recommend it for any kind of occasion.

〖Point〗 ✔️I can't believe there was such a place under the Hibiya overpass! Authentic Thai street food found indoors ✔️ You can feel like traveling abroad with good cost performance! ✔️There are plenty of drinks unique to this place, such as rainbow drinks and churn draft beer that you drink in buckets 〖 Repeat rate 〗 ★★★★★ Very satisfied! 〖 Use scene 〗 When you want to drink with friends, even after work 〖 reserve 〗 Easy to book! It was crowded even on weekdays, so it is recommended to make a reservation just in case, turnover seems to be fast 𓈒 𓏸 𓐍------- 𓈒 𓏸 𓐍 〖What I ordered〗 ◆ Stir-fried flaming water spinach (Pak Bun Fai Daeng) ◇ Stir-fried crab curry powder ◆ Juicy!! Grilled Chicken (Gaiyaan) ◇ Very popular! Gaprao rice ◆ Red shrimp pad thai I can't believe I could feel like I went to Thailand so casually! Even if there is a Thai restaurant, it is very interesting because there are not many places that reproduce the stalls. ✔️ Appetizer is macaroni salad and shrimp senbei. Ethnic macaroni salad with a soft scent of shrimp! i love this style! ✔️ My favorite spinach stir-fry! Garlic and chili peppers are a solid seasoning, and alcohol goes on! ✔️Crab stir-fried with curry powder is one of my favorite Thai dishes! Plenty of crab! You can enjoy it enough if you share it with two people! I'm happy to eat plenty of my favorite crab curry stir-fried 💕 ✔️ Gaiyan said it would take 30 minutes to bake, so I ordered it first. If you think the surroundings are a little burnt, the inside feels nice and moist. Please dip the sweet sauce into it. ✔️ Next is the gapao rice that I was worried about! The fried eggs are crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. Basil is heard firmly and it is delicious! I wanted to eat more meat lol ✔️ Pad Thai at the end. Pad Thai with shrimp and thick fried tofu is full-fledged dust. It was delicious with plenty of vegetables. I ate to my heart's content, drank in a good way, and enjoyed the feeling of a Thai stall. I would like to come again because I can enjoy it casually!
