Reviews
The stirred fried green bean with minced meat was good texture with flavors.
Ordered a whole Hainanese chicken for our Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner
The chicken dish is great about 4 stars but the duck dish is pretty bad (tough so it’s hard to chew) 2 stars at most… the three cup intestines dish is 4 close to 5 stars though!
May come back to try the noodle soup next time.
Price is reasonable!
On the back side of the menu, they have “Chef Recommended” noodles, rice plates and appetizers that you can simply choose.
For the Hainan Chicken Rice, Hainan Chicken noodles, they’re very similar. For the rice dish, I wish their ginger/scallions sauce (oil-based) is served separately so that it doesn’t make the rice and everything else oily. For the noodle dish, I like it that they serve the chicken on the side and they’re not sinking into the noodle soup.
The tofu appetizer and the beef stomach appetizers are both very good. The beef stomach used to be very salty (to the point we had to return it before). It seems like they lowered the sodium level now, so it is better.
If you are a meat eater, their hainan chicken and Chiu-Chow soy sauce ducks are very good.
The beef stew rice plate is ok, nothing special. Some of the meat is on the stringy side.
The decor is very basic. Overall this place is clean and the bathroom is ok too.
Special Noodle Soup
We were pleasantly surprised to find Hainan cuisine here. Hainan is a coastal province in southern China, renowned for its uniquely flavored local chicken, although it’s not typically known for noodle soup. The chicken used in the dishes here isn’t from Hainan, so it lacks the authentic signature flavor. However, it still stands well on its own.
The Fried Oyster Flipping was a delightful surprise, with a fresh, distinct oyster flavor that truly stood out as a highlight of the meal.
The Braised Beef Stows & Beef Tendons were another standout—tender, fresh, and delicious. On the other hand, the Duck Over Rice was a bit underwhelming, lacking in flavor.
Overall, the experience was good and pleasant. The pricing is affordable and reasonable, making this restaurant a solid choice for anyone looking to explore Hainan cuisine.
We followed the instructions on the menu and ordered some Special Noodles. They are so delicious. My sister had too much food, she took leftover home for another meal.
Damn good Hainan chicken rice and extremely fast service. I was in and out of there within 25 minutes. The plate was put together so thoughtfully. Great use of pickled ginger, cucumbers and wood ear mushroom to balance out the heavier chicken and rice. The chicken was also made wonderfully. It tasted great and the meat was soft. The rice was a bit different from what I was expecting but the chicken flavour did shine through.
All in all, I didn’t expect to be able to find good Hainan chicken rice in the south bay, so I was pretty blown away.
This is the flavour of nostalgia and your childhood. The dish itself is not super mind blowing, but it’s tasty, cheap and quick.
