    Crispy Chicken Rice
    Allison P.

    I just found my favorite way to eat Hainan Chicken. A Ma is known for their Hainanese chicken rice and Cambodian noodle soup. This place is almost always packed and for good reason! It goes without question that their Classic Chicken Rice is insane, but my standout was their Crispy Chicken Rice. Wow. I didn't know this could exist, but I'm so glad that it does! A fried indulgent version of the cult classic. Everything is served on a bed of chicken-fat-infused rice and comes with sides of broth, pickled veggies, and sauces. So good. If we lived here, this would make it's way into our monthly or even weekly meal rotation.

    Love me a good chicken rice and this place hits all the notes. Great portions for the price too! We came for lunch as soon as they opened and got seated right away. Definitely come early to avoid the wait but it's near H Mart and Tous Les Jours if you want to grab some coffee or do some grocery shopping while you wait. It's a small menu which I truly appreciate. I ordered their classic chicken rice and loved it. The salad on the side was unnecessary but I'm happy to eat some greens with my meal. Try not to sit by the door if you want to avoid the cold draft whenever someone enters or exits the restaurant.

    This place has a good hainanese chicken, and their bone broth was surprisingly good for the price I honestly didn't think it would this much meat. We ordered take out which came out in good time. They're definitely popular since when I got there it's pretty full.

    A treat! Beautifully cooked poached chicken, highly flavorful broth, deliciously seasoned rice. Even the little dish of pickled veg was wonderful. A fabulous plate of food! I liked the spicy sweet sauce best, with added ginger and chili. I wasn't as crazy about the crispy chicken, I think it needed seasoning. That said, I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back. I may try one of the noodle bowls next time as they looked great on neighboring tables.

    I really liked this spot! I didn't realize it was so popular too. I came for lunch on a long weekend and we had to put our name on the waitlist. The inside isn't too big but there are plenty of tables, and we waited around 15 minutes before getting seated. I got the combo chicken rice plate, which came with half poached chicken and half fried along with rice, soup, and some veggies. The poached chicken was absolutely perfect - it was so tender, soft, and juicy. I don't know how they got it that texture but it's amazing! The crispy chicken was also good, but a tad on the drier side. I also enjoyed the sauces they came with. The soup was comforting and clean and the rice was fragrant as well. Overall, highly recommend if you're craving hainese chicken rice!

    We got here around 6:15 on a Friday. The place was packed already. You can add your group into the waitlist with the iPad outside of the dining area. After 39 minutes, we were seated. Ordering is done via your phone camera and WR vide on the table. We ordered the classic chicken and rice plate as well as the A Ma dry noodle bowl. The chicken plate had chicken that was cooked well and was not dry. It just didn't have any taste. The rice has more seasoning than the chicken. The dry noodle bowl was good and had a bit of spice. Not really going to come back. Lots of other food I rather eat

    Classic chicken rice

    Their Classic chicken rice is one of my favorites in Seattle. Perfectly cooked. If you like fried chicken, you can get to combo and it comes with both types of chicken. I'm traditional so I prefer just the classic. They also have noodle soup options as well if you're not a fan of chicken and rice.

    I went to Amas Chicken and it was sooo good--I can't believe it took me this long to finally visit. It's a fusion of Cambodian and Chinese food, and everything tasted amazing. I got the plate with both fried chicken and boiled chicken. The chicken was super flavorful on its own, but the sauces really took it to the next level. My favorite was definitely the spicy chili sauce--it was so good. I'll 100% be coming back.

    ​A good spot for Hainanese chicken. I love that it's boneless and that the combo $21 (crispy and poached chicken) comes with a good amount of food. It includes a side of pickled veggies and soup, both of which I thought were quite tasty. We also tried the kuy teav noodle soup $19, the only noodle soup on the entire menu. It comes with rice noodles, ground pork, shrimp, pork liver, heart, meatballs, and sliced pork. All of the ingredients were fresh, though the sliced pork was a bit too dry. ​We ordered our food using the QR code on the table, so there wasn't much service. I really like that you can join the Yelp waitlist online, which worked out perfectly since we were only a few minutes away. It gets quite loud during the lunch hour, but overall, the food was tasty and I'll be back. It's already a regular spot for my husband since it's close to his work, but this was my first time here and I will definitely return more frequently.

    Great place when you're craving Hainanese Chicken. I had the combo chicken rice, which comes with your lighter Hainanese chicken and fried chicken. The Hainanese chicken was so tender and almost pure. It had depth and complemented the chicken fat infused rice. It's a nice balance and you can dip sauce into it if you like more intense flavors. I also liked the fried chicken because it had more texture to a tender dish and I found it nice to go back and forth. We also tried the noodles and it was decent and had a slow burn (spicy) to it but i like the rice dishes the best. The combo chicken was more than enough food for me - I left very full. Ambiance is casual. We arrived on Friday around 6:45pm, and joined a waitlist of 9 for 2 ppl. We waited about 25 minutes for a table. You sit down, order via QR code, and food comes out! Service was decent - nice and friendly and attentive - it's not a place where they'll wait on you regularly but it's also not that kind of setting. Parking is either on the street or in the H Mart complex parking lot. All in all - great eatery

    My friends Combo Chicken Rice
    Wendy K.

    Had been wanting to try A Ma for awhile when people talk about the best chicken and rice this place comes up a lot. I did grow up eating it but the two friends I visited did one of Singaporean the other is Chinese but was born in Malaysia. They have very high expectations for this dish. I've probably had it at four other locations around greater Seattle. The rice and broth are the best part here some other places the rice has been to wet and the broth hasn't been as flavorful. The ginger scallion sauce and the pickled garlic are wonderful accompaniments. Couldn't get enough of that garlic. Also appreciate the pickled veggies that come with the dish. We also ordered a bowl of the pork broth to share. The space is bright and clean. Love the antique items and the items that represent the owners culture. The dishes came out quickly. Service was fine not above and beyond but attentive as needed. Portion was generous, would return when in the area.

    Combo chicken plate
    Hanna K.

    So glad I finally got to try A Ma! Came by at lunchtime on a Sunday and waited in line for 5 minutes before we got seated. Service was efficient - the food came out quickly and the servers seemed attentive. The store itself wasn't super large but they were able to fit a lot of us in there. Parking was easy in the big plaza lot. I got the combo chicken plate, and everything tasted really fresh. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the batter of the fried chicken was crispy and surprisingly yummy. Both paired so well with the two tangy sauces the dish came with. The included broth was very comforting and wholesome. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be that I wish we got just a few more pickled veggies. I definitely recommend this spot - there's a reason it's so popular!

    It was my first time having lunch at Angkor Wok, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food…read morewas incredibly authentic and delicious, and every dish I tried was a standout. The first dish was KOR TREI, featuring caramelized catfish nuggets. They were absolutely amazing! I only wished they came with a side of sliced cucumber and mint, which I often see served with Khmer dishes back home. The presentation was beautiful, served sizzling on a hot iron plate. The only downside was that some of the sauce splattered onto the table and hardened, making it a little difficult to scoop up every last bit with the rice. The second dish was SOMLOH MACHU SRAE, a traditional sour fish soup served in a small hot pot. It was rich, flavorful, and comforting, and I was pleasantly surprised that the fish was boneless and perfectly cooked. The third dish, NGOM SDOV, was a fish and noodle salad bursting with an incredible harmony of spicy, bitter, sweet, sour, and salty flavors. The crispy, well-seasoned fish nuggets added the perfect texture to every bite. I absolutely loved all three fish dishes, although next time I think I'll branch out and try some beef or pork dishes to experience more of what Angkor Wok has to offer. Overall, I highly recommend calling ahead, ordering a variety of dishes, and coming hungry. There's something for everyone, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Rare to find a Cambodian joint in WA so gotta appreciate all the spots that do exist…read more This place has been such a dope addition to UD. I feel like there are so many similar types of food in the area, so having something like Angkor Wok is a breath of fresh air. I've had a number of things on their menu. My favorites are probably their hot pot options, the fish curry, and the chicken wings (or popcorn chicken). IMO as w most Asian restaurants, it's best to come here w a group so yall can do family style and get a taste of everything.

As soon as you walk in, the smell of lemongrass mix with a hint of fish sauce gets your taste buds salivating. For starters, we had the Bo la lot. A flank steak wrapped in Piper Lala leaves - skip it to expensive and tiny. The catfish clay pot is not an option - it's a must. It's the reason why they have five stars. I can tell you what they put in it but it's not gonna describe the taste. I could tell you it's very distinctive and it's heavy in the soy sauce, but I don't mean that in a bad way - it's amazing. The drunken chicken is their version of orange chicken, but better of course than your standard panda. I really like pickled veggies that come with the lunch meal. The offset allows you to have a fresh bite every time. Very Happy with this place.

Fern Thai is one of the rare exceptions. Everything I've ordered here has been phenomenal, making it my absolute go-to spot to take friends and family for a guaranteed great meal. ​The Highlights: * great ambiance * ​Pad Thai: At most restaurants, Pad Thai feels like a waste of money, but here it is worth every single penny. * ​Gai Tod Hat Yai: An all-time favorite dish! You get a deep-fried half chicken served with flaky roti, panang curry sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a fresh cucumber salad on the side. (Note: The chicken breast can occasionally have its tender vs. slightly tougher days, but the flavors overall are unbeatable). * Beef ​Pad See Ew: Generous with the protein and broccoli, unlike other spots that give you 95% noodles. ​* Crab Fried Rice: Phenomenal execution with incredible, smoky wok hei. * * * ​Specialty Seafood Dishes: Highly recommend ordering off their specialty menu. The seafood plates are packed with crazy amounts of umami and have the perfect rich saltiness when paired with rice. Only lowlight: as for any good restaurants in greater seattle area, the wait can be long. I'd suggest avoiding peak time. ​I try to order something new every time I visit because every dish delivers. Hands down one of the best Thai spots in the entire Greater Seattle area!
