The Hainan chicken was quite tender and juicy with firm texture but not much flavor to it. It’s better than a lot of other Hainan chicken places in the bay and you can’t beat the price for around $14. The ginger scallion sauce didn’t have much ginger or scallion taste to it other than being salty. So now you have bland chicken and salty sauce but it’s not as bad as it sounds since the texture of the chicken was good and juicy.
The fried chicken gizzard was prepped right and appropriately sized. Not too much breading and the right amount of crunch and flavor. The fried tofu was okay and nothing special about it so I would skip it if it’s your favorite dish. The braised duck was decent and kind of bland but the texture wasn’t mushy which is common for ducks.
The lemon tea was watered down Lipton black tea with slices of lemon tossed in there. It’s not the authentic kind with ultra concentrated three types of tea leaves base and lemon juice infused syrup. The kind with rich lemon and tea flavor without the bitterness and roughbess in the mouth. But that’s almost impossible to find in the bay unless you make it yourself. I would skip this drink if lemon tea is your thing.
The service was good, everything came out orderly and fast. They have room to combine the tables for party of 6 or more. Parking is plenty in the plaza. This place offers good value in this price range for lunch and quick dinner. At under $15 a meal, this has to be one of the top Hainan chicken restaurants in the bay area.

Menu have pictures to better illustrate the items which makes orderings easy especially for 1st time patrons. Service is fast and quick, they bring you hot tea right after you sit down. This is a eat and go sort of place, not great to chat or mingle. Parking is super easy even on the weekends. The staff speaks Cantonese, mandarin and English as well. Portions are generous as well.

We went for dinner and ordered Hainan Chicken, Braised Pork Knuckle, and Braised Beef Stews & Beef Tendons.
Everything was amazing! All of their appetizers were great. The only bummer was that they didn’t have any fried appetizers available when we were there.

I tried the Signature Hainan Chicken over Rice, featuring tender Hainan chicken served on a bed of fluffy rice alongside seasonal vegetables and original broth. The chicken had the perfect color and flavor, and the chicken rice was quite enjoyable. If you’re a fan of Hainan chicken rice, it’s definitely worth a try!

The lady (not the younger one) didn’t allow me and my mom dine in when we came at 7:30pm. She said only takeout. Ok fine. But when we paid that lady said we should tip some. Excuse me? What’s her problem? My mom was upset and we will not come back any more. That old lady is so rude. She can quit if she hates her job.

Saw this place last night with my S.O so we decided to come here and try it. It did not disappoint the Hainan Chicken rice plate was on point and so was the marinaded duck rice plate. We also got the salt and pepper chicken cartilage the flavor was just enough spicy so nothing is overpowering. But I have say the cartilage definitely will pair great with an ice cold beer. The prices is very reasonable.

The prices on their website are higher than in the store. I actually placed an order online, and for example the Hainan Chicken Noodle Soup is $13.50 in the restaurant but $15.99 on their site. I asked the staff and they first said the prices are the same, but when I showed them the website they couldn’t explain. Very confusing and not transparent.

I think this is a newly opened restaurant and it’s very popular. The staff is friendly and food is good according to my friend. There are bones in the chicken so if you are not used to it you may need to think twice. Other than that, they cannot accommodate vegetarian request. The price is actually cheaper if you buy it in-store instead of ordering online. This is a good place for a quick lunch.

The food is ok, but the service and the portions are not.
We placed the order through the store’s online system. We arrived by the time the online app said it was ready to pick up. They gave us parts of our order only. When we arrived home, we realized that we didn’t have the full order of food, and we had to go back to the store.
When we opened the food, we felt their description differed from what we received. The description said there was a quarter portion of Hainan chicken, and I assumed I should see half of the chicken. But instead, I only saw a small box of chicken, which is shown in the picture.
I don’t think I will come back again.

Greenhouse is getting a plethora of new Chinese restaurants and 和记 is the newest on this list. They took over the former Urban Ka-Re spot diagonal from McDonald’s. Easy to spot on the right as you enter Greenhouse from Washington Ave. Parking is easy and plenty as the plaza never gets too busy.
Currently they have a grand opening special for their signature Hainan chicken lunch box – only $9.90 (originally $15.50) and comes with a small salad, the special Hainan chicken rice and a soup. The chicken is tender and delicious! Cooked perfectly and juicy – it gets my chicken loving family’s approval. We also tried their chiu chow braised duck and the flavors weren’t as prominent as we’d like. On their menu they serve much more than Hainan chicken. There’s chiu chow appetizers and a craft your own noodle bowl option. Excited to see this place open and try more of their items!
