Hainan Chicken Rice specialty store. That's the only thing we do here. It is the famous dish from South East Asia. Know anyone from there? I bet they know about this dish. We are doing it Thai street food style. It is our favorite thing in the world and we are doing our best to represent here in the US. Family owned.

I love this place so much. I don’t review often but I literally just ate some of their chicken and decided they deserve it. My favorite is the zapp bowl. I don’t know what they do with it but it’s phenomenal. Also it’s a ton of food.

One poor employee working on her own the night I came in with some friends but she did a great job serving everyone! The amount of chicken they served was substantial! Definitely coming back

Diner Review №12

Love the food here. But have to be wary of which person is working. For the most part the order is always correct, but depending on who's working, some ingredients can be missing. I got a stomach ache from the last time - but that won't stop me from coming back. consider it a fluke. The fried chicken and wontons are really good. Love their drinks too.

Blah food

Diner Review №14

5 stars! Our go to order is one fried and one original (each served with choice of steamed or garlic rice and 2 sauces so you get 4 different sauces total) + two boba teas (Thai Tea and Brown Sugar are our favorites but we're working through the list lol) - all super delicious! Order on their website or call ahead for easy pick up. Fast and friendly service always at this local family business. Free street parking right out front or go east on 4th and turn south around the corner.

Food is absolutely delicious and fresh!

The chicken was crispy, not greasy plated with super-fresh veggies. I cleaned the plate. Quick service if you are on a time crunch also.

I love this place! If you've seen it and wondered I suggest you stop in. They used to have 2 items on their menu but now it's more extensive. Salads, different chicken dishes, egg rolls and lots of great teas, coffee and Boba. The environment is fun and relaxing, the staff is friendly and quick but best of all the food is great!

Diner Review №27

I have many Hainan chicken places in LA n OC. San Gabriel Valley. This place has a very friendly lady works there maybe is owner. Portion was good, chicken is good. Only thing is 1st time this place didn't come with broth ..9 out of 10 places we go to come with clear chicken broth.

Diner Review №28

The service is good but the food is not good, won’t eat there again

Diner Review №29

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 .

Diner Review №31

While service was a little slow the food was good and employees were nice. I got a rice dish with half steam and half fried chicken and an extra side of garlic rice for the family . It was filling and delicious. Plus, they open until 11pm so it’s a great late night spot too.

Diner Review №32

Family meal was perfect! Service was very helpful!

Diner Review №33

Very terrible food and service,tasteless chicken and rice,they even forgot to give me spoons or Chopsticks,never go to such restaurants again

Diner Review №34

The herbal soup is delicious. The Thai style chicken are very tender. I still like the original East Asia style which the chicken is much more tender.

Diner Review №35

ordered to go, fast service, food was packaged, carefully, and stayed warm, chicken was moist , everything was fresh and seasoned, not over seasoned, rice moist and flavorful, 1st time there, will return again

Diner Review №36

Not sure what to expect from the outside, but the inside is really cute. We walked in and were greeted by a nice Thai lady who took our order. We got the crispy thai chicken and rice and omg, it's simply phenomenal. I was amazed by the crispiness of the chicken which was so flavorful. The chicken in hainan chicken rice is never the highlight for me, but it was definitely an all star here. But the main draw was the garlic rice. It was so amazing and flavorful with the right amount of ginger and garlic. It really is top notch. Definitely recommend coming here and trying the chicken and rice. I also saw a bunch of people come here for boba so maybe it's worth trying that, too.

This is a hidden gem, if you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and go.

It’s delicious, fresh, the flavors are unique and honestly one of my favorite spots nearby for lunch or dinner.

Make sure to try all the dipping sauces!

身為一個亞洲長大的孩子
對海南雞飯跟泰式料理再熟悉不過了

先是在google上看到這家
用中文字寫著「泰式海南雞飯」馬上吸引了我的注意
決定去體驗看看
果然不負我的期待

真的非常不正統
既不像海南雞飯 也不像泰式料理
但敢肯定的是這個口味是美國人口味

在店內用餐
然後送上來的餐點卻是放在外帶盒中
完全喪失了內用的意義
讓我的小費好像丟進水中一樣浪費

不過份量真的超大
是真的超大!!
價格也真的不斐…💸
女生的話應該可以兩個人吃一份

吃完搞得我現在很想吃一份真正道地的海南雞飯🥲

Diner Review №45

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.

Diner Review №46

I ordered the original. So delicious! We will definitely add this to our list of Long Beach favorites! Next time I’ll try their boba too.

Diner Review №47

Very yummy place to get chicken and rice. My family enjoys the crispy fried chicken. The chicken broth is very clean and great to sip on if sick. We highly enjoyed our meals here.

Diner Review №48

Food is good, portion is massive. I just wish you guys give me less chicken and give me small side of soup serve with the meal instead! $5 for chicken broth is just ridiculous. Hainanese chicken rice suppose to serve with soup, small little one just fine.

Diner Review №49

Very true to the Thai branch of chicken rice. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №50

The chicken and rice here is delicious!

Diner Review №51

delicious and fresh!

Diner Review №52

This place is very generous with their chicken serving portion! Rice is garlicky and fragrant. Be aware that their steamed chicken rice is Thai not Singaporean, the biggest difference mainly stemming from the accompanying sauces. Super fast service and very friendly people.

I wonder how much dog hair you find in your food? This place allows dogs inside their restaurant. I was going to try this place out but decided not to when I saw a dog in the restaurant. Here's the thing, I called the restaurant and told them I would not come in there with the dog in there and they allowed the dog to stay.

Awesome spot for hainan chicken. Got the original and fried, both were amazing. Staff was also incredibly kind and friendly, we'll be coming back here regularly!

Muy bueno

Diner Review №62

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.

Diner Review №63

Just try it. Won't disappoint. The chicken rice and soup are all awesome

Diner Review №65

I ordered the chicken plate with a side of broth and BRO. IT CURED ME. I have a cold and the broth l i t e r a l l y cured my cough instantly. Besides for that it was velvety rich and smooth, golden in color and full bodied. The perfect amount of salt, umami and so aromatic. I was dipping my chicken in it but tbh I was mostly just drinking it straight. This broth is ride or die y'all AND ITS $4

Diner Review №76

I asked for dark meat for takeout, twice I told the guy make sure the kitchen know, when I got home, it's all white meat and taste is blend.
NOT GOING BACK !!

Diner Review №77

Walked into this place randomly after getting a haircut down the street. This place was awesome and everyone was so cool. I ordered the fried chicken and rice plate which was so good. Their juices are also really worth a try. Check this place out.

Diner Review №78

So happy Taishi Hainan Chicken has their own location now! I've been ordering from them for over a year. I ordered online and was thrilled when I realized it was a new pickup location. The staff was so nice and I was welcomed when I picked up my order. I got the fried chicken, dumplings and Thai iced tea. It's always excellent! Congratulations 🎉

Diner Review №79

Ordered here tonight and recieved a colossal amount of food! Got the XXL mixed chicken, herbal soup, and dumplings. The staff was super friendly and even gave me a free drink from a new beverage menu they're launching!

Everything was great, but the star was the soup. I could just eat bowls of the rice too - it was so perfectly seasoned

Diner Review №80

This place is dank. The fried chicken is fire and the soup is on point. They make their own broth and it hits hard. Welcome to the neighborhood, I’ll be sure to tell all the homies about this spot. Stay lit.

Diner Review №81

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! i’m so thrilled that they opened a brick and mortar in this location. don’t sleep on it!! excellent value for the quality and portion. beautifully clean taste and very quickly prepared.

The food was awesome will be back my wife loved it fir a late dinner thanks who ever prepared our meal

Diner Review №85

Oh my goodness!! This place is SO good. Highly recommend. Great portions too!

Diner Review №86

Absolutely delicious! We ordered their popular Hainan Chicken and Fried Hainan Chicken. They both came with a ginger sauce, but the original got a sesame sauce and the fried one one got white sauce. Both good, but the portions were really good too. We recommend ordering from their app or website, to avoid the wait, and go pick up from their "lockers" (the are no locks on then). This is part of the Daisy Dinner dining pick up business that you can buy other food from as well.

Diner Review №87

The fried version was okay, but I wasn't blown away. I'll try the poached one next.

Diner Review №88

OMG! The fried chicken was delicious. Definitely the place to go to for a late night meal.

Diner Review №89

Ever since feasting my eyes on hainan chicken rice on the travel channel I knew I wanted to try it but the steps to make it put me off, so I recently discovered about this place and decided to try it and it was everything and more I thought about the dish, thank you for bringing this to Long Beach, the chicken had so much flavor with the sauces on top of it, the spice just right and the rice was cooked to perfection. I’m happy knowing I’ve finally tried the dish I’ve always wanted to try.

Diner Review №90

Amazing fried chicken, simple menu, simple ingredients, cooked perfectly 👌

Diner Review №91

I really enjoyed both versions of the chicken. The dumplings were truly flavorful and outstanding as well. The rice was in a word perfect. The chicken soup clearly was well and attentively made.

The portions were more than generous. 2 entrees 2 apps would easily feed four people.

I’ll definitely be coming back here often.
