We got the steamed chicken, fried chicken, and spring rolls. All of it was delicious and was super fresh. The chicken is juicy and the rice is fragrant. Lots of flavor packed into very simple dishes. Sauces that came with the dishes were delicious as well. A little pricier than I’d want it to be, but I’d definitely go back at some point.

Visit this shop as if your life depended on it! This is the first piece of advice I will be giving others travelling to New York. Rotating between the roasted chicken with rice and the daikon (mooli) soup is the most incredible comfort food experience you will ever have for $13. If you’re feeling saucy, their spicy flavour wings are both juicy and crispy, and it’s coating reminds you of ‘nice n spicy’ flavoured nik naks. The servers are also super polite and friendly. The shop is only small, but there were stools available both times I visited.

My absolute favorite restaurant in NYC right now. Delicious chicken, good portions, fast service, friendly staff. I always get the No. 1 for Steamed chicken rice. I tried the others options and while tasty, the No. 1 was still my favorite due to quantity of protein and meat.

Tasty chicken over rice. Their dipping sauce is delicious. The daikon soup is also great!

A true hidden gem — the steamed chicken rice was incredibly juicy and comes in a large portion. The complimentary radish soup was sweet and pairs well with the savory and refreshing sauce

I wish I could live next door to this place. Hands down best chicken rice I’ve had in the area, if not best in NYC. The roasted chicken rice is flavored and cooked to perfection, and don’t miss any of their other items. The chicken rice soup in particular warms my soul. The servers/owner are always kind and very quick to prepare your orders. Cannot recommend enough.

Great value and awesome taste, the Hainanese chicken rice here is “SECOND TO NONE“ in the city. The chicken texture is silky and tender like tofu, with almost perfect proportion of fat and lean meat. The house-made ginger sauce nicely highlights the umami of the chicken flavor. The white pepper radish chicken soup that comes with the combo is also hearty.

I’m a big fan of hainan chicken rice, and the Thai version was also very good. The pot stickers were a little less impressive.
