Order the spicy crispy chicken. The sauce and the chicken are the best thing on the menu texturally and also flavour wise. I’ve ordered here a few times and I’d say that the above choice is what I’m willing to spend my money on. I like to think that I appreciate hainese style ginger chicken but I’m not willing to pay the same price for either or, or both. I remember being really disappointed with my mango sticky rice so I’m docking it a star, but I don’t remember exactly why. Thai tea tastes great. Overall would recommend if you’re in the area. I think it’s well priced compared to the adjacent restaurants. So definitely check it out!

So good! I'm hooked and this is the meal I miss the most every time I'm out of town. I like the two fried chicken versions, the crunch cuts well into the well-flavored (ginger, chicken stock, maybe a bit of coconut? Idk) buttery taste of the rice. Only thing is I wish it came with more cilantro and cucumbers.

I got the heat. Succulent juicy chicken with a delicious kick. I was worried I wouldn't like the ginger rice, but it's not overpowering and tastes amazing with the sauce! I don't know if all orders include a side of soup, but I appreciated it and it didn't taste too bad.

Overall the quality of food was very good, I just wish the portion size of the chicken was larger. I tried the crispy chicken and the hainanese chicken, and hainanese was definitely my favorite. I LOVED the rice which had little chunks of ginger in it. I also tried a salad, which had really yummy dressing (a spicy peanut ginger sauce) and a black pepper soup, which was simple but delicious. The matcha iced tea was also very strong matcha and not too sweet, which was really refreshing. The mango sticky rice dessert was okay…most of the mango pieces tasted slightly unripe (not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be?). Overall definitely a good choice for a fast and tasty meal!

I've been meaning to try this place for a while and was pleasantly surprised! There were some lackluster reviews closer to when Hen opened but based on my experience I think they've improved their food since then. …

Visited in Spring of 2021. I'm migrating reviews entirely to this platform so I'm posting here now: This place knows what they are. They're a pretty fast bento-box style deal. You get a box with chicken and rice and some soup. The soup was a bit spicy for my liking, but the chicken was excellent. The flavor was ideal, and the breading was a little crispy even though I let the box stay closed for several minutes. On top of that, the price was quite fair. Highly recommend. I will certainly be returning some day.

The website says they deliver within 3 mi, I’m only 2.5 mi away and they don’t deliver. (From the website) Food tastes horrible as the rice tastes hard like little pebbles. And it didn’t taste anything like ginger rice. The meat was okay, and the Thai ice tea was okay too. Mango sticky rice was below average. The rice isn’t even sticky Overall a 4/10 Take out only Do not recommend.
