Gai Noi is a Laotian restaurant by chef Ann Ahmed in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1][2] Established in May 2023, the business was included in The New York Times's 2023 list of the 50 best restaurants in the United States.[3][4] The name is short for "khao gai noi, the short grain rice used to make sticky rice" and is "commonly known as 'little chick' because it’s spotted and small."[5]
