Original Hainan Chicken: 3.75/5 I was so excited to eat here but I was simultaneously pleasantly surprised and disappointed. The portions were great, the chicken was moist, and the sauces were good. The 2 things that shocked me were the temperature of my food and the quality of the soup. My food was lukewarm at best, it made it taste old, like it’s been sitting out all day. Also the soup was at the perfect temperature to grow some sort of bacteria, warm but not hot enough to fight against microbes. It also tasted shockingly similar to Swansons low-sodium broth. It definitely feels like a possibly excellent dish, but they seemed to have given up along the way.
Zabb Chicken: 4/5 Again, great flavor, crispy chicken, a possible banger but the chicken was cold and the rice even colder. The flavor was so good I couldn’t give it less than a 4, but an easy 5/5 with a little TLC. When it was taken home and warmed up, it was a world of difference.
Ambiance: The restaurant is really cute and has that sort of late 2010s weeb charm, but it does feel like they gave up. It’s clean but looks old, the lighting is dingy, and there was no music. They had a good stream of to-go orders and I can understand why.
Service: Super quick. Maybe not the most personable, but I get it.
Parking: Small parking lot but I can’t imagine it being too busy. Be prepared to park elsewhere though.

Good food in a nice setting with affordable prices. It’s why this chain is one of the best in the game. Also very cool to see their success with a unique approach to chicken and rice. 5 stars

Perfect Hainan Chicken, they really nail all the elements. I drove two hours to try this place and I’m glad I did. The fried dumplings were nicely fried and seasoned with good filling. The chicken was moist and tender, and they give you a lot! The rice was perfectly seasoned with the subtle beauty of ginger and garlic, maybe a hint of green onion. The soup is perfect, it will warm your soul (and fix a hangover). The sauces have nice bold flavors and they don’t charge you extra for more if you want it! They set it out on a side table for you to take as you like. The staff is so nice and friendly and genuinely appreciate your business. The best Hainan chicken ive found in southern California.

I got the original Hainan chicken. Food was served in a to-go container, which kinda takes away from the dine-in experience. Portions were pretty big though.
The sweet sesame sauce and ginger soy sauce wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t amazing. I think I prefer the traditional Hainan chicken sauces more. The meat was also a little dry.

The hainese chicken here is great. I called in my order versus using the online grub hub and the price was cheaper by $4 per dish.

Ubereats – ordered family XL – came promptly. They deboned everything but chicken is dry and overcooked. Sorry, these not the Hainanese chicken standard from Singapore or Malaysia. Tofu is crispy like bacon. Quantity is plentiful but quality Needs to improve .
