Ate here a couple of times. Pretty not bad, chicken tastes good every time, nice ginger sauce. Portion sizes are pretty good. Service is good, the staff is always friendly.

No cash accepted, the chicken rice here is so flavorful and delicious. I'm here at least once a week getting their grilled chicken and fried tofu. There is a great team at this location, and if you can order online.

The food is surprisingly delicious and the price point is reasonable. The only downside is that parking can be pretty bad around lunch.

Delicious Hainan chicken and rice!! The food looks simple, but it's delicious. The rice is cooked with the broth and it tastes incredible and it's not soggy. I want to eat that rice everyday.

The rice is cooked with the broth and it tastes incredible and it's not soggy. I want to eat that rice everyday. The sauces are a game changer for the chicken. You get two with your order, and can add on more for additional cost. They're all amazing.
The ordering process is easy, you order on a kiosk and they call a number out for your order. My only complaint is that it's a little bit pricy, but seems like that's everything these days. read less

The Hainanese chicken meal is tastiest at its best! This time in addition to the CMR dipping sauce, I ordered the ginger scallion and wow!

The location is just a block or so to Levi's Stadium but is somewhat nestled in a residential area. Ordering in store is via a touch screen located to your right just upon entry. The looks, chairs and tables, floors of the store seems very clean. I ordered the "Split Any 2" for variety so I got the Fried Chicken and Grilled Chicken. It is like a "build your own" plate so you start off with your base of either steamed, brown or tofu, then on to your proteins, salad, your sauces and a cup of soup. After checking out other Yelp reviews, apparently their menu does change. There are also add ons if you wish. The food here is really good and staff are very friendly. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is I felt the portions, in my opinion, were not up to par for $18. It's basically 4 small slices of each protein on top of a mound of rice (the portions are a lot smaller in my picture than IRL). I guess we can attribute the pricing based on location but probably an additional slice or two would justify the price. read less

all of the sauces are really good and gives the food

Really high quality food, they obviously put a lot of thought into it. Chicken is cooked in some special way, they have a lot of great sauces with unique flavors you can't find anywhere else (some very spicy), and it's also really healthy!

This is one of my favorite places to get takeout from! I love the dark meat chicken with skin on, my husband prefers the grilled or fried chicken, but we both agree it is super juicy and delicious.

Very consistent, we've been here many times for takeout and never had a bad experience! Best hainan chicken in the area (that I know of)!

A fusion of cultures culminating in an ultimate chicken and rice dish. This dish originates from Hainan and has spread its popularity to many regions.

This restaurant takes these variations and serves it all to you. Chinese, Thai, Singaporean, they will have the taste for you. We got the Hainanese chicken and the grilled chicken. The sauces are the best part here! We got the ginger scallion, Singapore chili, and Thai ginger soy. Also highly recommend their signature drink, Coffee meets tea. It has a great balance between deep mature flavors and a sweet drink. read less

I always get the fried chicken with soya eggs and chicken rice, and my favorite sauce is the sweet and spicy chili sauce. The sesame teriyaki sauce is good too, but it's a bit too sweet for me. The order will also come with a broth soup, which I've never tried (gave it to family). The portions are generous - one order of CMR is good for at least two meals for me.
This place is near Levi's Stadium with a small parking lot, so parking may be difficult to find during prime meal times.
Now that they opened a new location in Fremont, I don't have to come so far to the Santa Clara location! read less

We got a nice mix of different types of chicken, rice and sauces and everything was high quality.
Portions were great and the fried chicken was definitely a favorite. Between all the rice options, I'd recommend the chicken rice (I think it's cooked in the broth), which was really flavorful.
Looking forward to trying them out again, and maybe choosing some different sauces this time around. read less

Great taste and flavor. It's fast food and it's what i aspect when I order it . Always hits the spot and gets the job done .
