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 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.
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 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.
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.
Got a pick up delivery to-go, food was good for price, got two people full. Would come back if I want to eat something clean and healthier.
Took my daughter to Tea 9 because another local stop was out of Boba. Great find!

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

Blah food
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!
Doesn't take cash.
All the food is incredible here and fairly priced. Lemon grass in the garlic sauce? Gtfoh! Can’t recommend Taishi Hainan enough.
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!
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.
The service is good but the food is not good, won’t eat there again
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.
Family meal was perfect! Service was very helpful!
Very terrible food and service,tasteless chicken and rice,they even forgot to give me spoons or Chopsticks,never go to such restaurants again
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.
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

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.
Fresh, great price, soup was incredible.
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!

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.
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.
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.
Very true to the Thai branch of chicken rice. Highly recommended.
The chicken and rice here is delicious!
delicious and fresh!
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.
Wow! I went last night and I am so amazed at how excellent the food is! Run, don’t walk!
Love sauce and food👍
Get the family pack! Great value and always left overs! Extra sauces no cost.
Muy bueno

Just try it. Won't disappoint. The chicken rice and soup are all awesome
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
Really nice family business, great food, cool cartoon chicken mascot. I love this place.
I love this place!
Had the fried chicken with rice tonight, both had great taste. Service was also great, even received an informative explanation on the background of where the dishes come from!
Great food, had the fried chicken and loved it. Rice was delish. Will def come back. Service was excellent and super friendly also.
Great stuff and awesome customer service
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 !!
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.
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 🎉
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
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.
The food was awesome will be back my wife loved it fir a late dinner thanks who ever prepared our meal
Oh my goodness!! This place is SO good. Highly recommend. Great portions too!
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.
The fried version was okay, but I wasn't blown away. I'll try the poached one next.
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.
Amazing fried chicken, simple menu, simple ingredients, cooked perfectly 👌
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.
