We really enjoyed The Burd Chicken Rice! They specialize in Cambodian-style Hainan chicken rice, but many of the dishes have their own creative twist. The lemongrass burrito was delicious, and the chicken rice bowl with shredded cabbage salad was simple, fresh, and comforting--it tasted homemade in the best way. The fresh sugar cane juice was amazing! If you prefer something less sweet, try it 50/50 with coconut water. Such a refreshing combination! Even the packaging stood out. Everything was boxed beautifully and looked so presentable, and I loved that almost all of the packaging was recyclable. The restaurant was very clean, and the customer service was outstanding--friendly smiles, helpful recommendations, and genuinely welcoming. Definitely a place we'll be happy to visit again! read more

After watching a movie at the Regal down the street, the kids and I had a late lunch at Burd Chicken Rice. They have a nice variety of chicken items on the menu, some unique things like congee and burritos, and cane drinks with different flavors. There is a good amount of seats inside and a few tables outside as well. There's a cool mural on the wall in the dining area so it gives an artsy vibe. Doesn't seem like they are able to take your order person to person, you have to order on one of the the kiosks on the counter. We ordered the Mix Burd plate w/ 50% Krispy burd and 50% Classic Burd, Lemongrass Burd plate, and Classic Burrito. We also ordered the Honey BBQ Sriracha wings for an appetizer. Wings were great, sticky with a good amount of spice. I really enjoyed the ginger sauces that come with the dishes. The Classic Burrito was basically a Classic Burd plate in a tortilla. It was good, but I would prefer all those ingredients as a plate, as I like the ginger sauce with the chicken and when we put it in the burrito, sauce was just dripping through to the bottom and made a big mess. The lemongrass Burd was our favorite as it has the best flavor. The classic burd was tender and poached perfectly, but the Krispy Burd was a miss for me, it was the least favorite of everything we ordered. Instead of being Krispy, it was so hard and difficult to chew. I would just stick with the lemongrass and classic Burd. read more

Growing up and raised on Hainan chicken, this is one of my favorite go to comfort food dish. So when I heard about this restaurant, I was fully interested in giving this place a try. So I've had tried Hainan chicken in hundreds of restaurants , some great, some not so great. And after trying Burds version, I would rate it at slightly above average. Since Hainan chicken is poached, it is somewhat on the bland side, this makes the ginger/onion dipping sauce important, it has to be flavorful to bring this chicken up in taste. Unfortunately the ginger/onion sauce was also weak. The dipping sauce needed a pinch of salt in it. This definitely would of taken the chicken up to the next level. The lemongrass version was better as it had a wonderful flavor of the lemongrass marinade to it. The rice was great, had great flavor, the bed of shredded cabbage was refreshing. Staffers were all very nice, friendly and helpful. The small dining area was clean. Outdoor seating is available. All in all, it was a decent meal, good enough to satisfy my hunger pains. 3.9 stars. read more

Delicious! I feel hungry just looking back at the pic...super juicy chicken, super flavorful scallion ginger sauce and fish sauce, fluffy and flavorful rice. Sauces r really key to Hainan chicken for me and they were both delicious. Very satisfying would get again. The 50/50 was very light, personally I like something sweeter so I'd go for just the sugarcane next time but it's a great option if you want something refreshing, just a matter of personal preference read more

Came here for lunch to try the classic burd chicken rice and the 50/50 sugarcane drink! The chicken was cooked well, and the highlight to me was the rice which was very flavorful. The scallion sauce that is served with the chicken was ok, but I felt like it needed a little more flavor. The 50/50 drink was also delicious. I was interested in their other chicken options like the fried burd, and I am looking forward to coming and trying those. The staff here are nice and the food arrived quickly. read more

Came here for lunch. Can order by tablet at the front kiosk. Food came out pretty quick. I ordered the mixed burd with lemongrass chicken and crispy fried chicken. I paid for extra hainanese rice and a side of sweet chili sauce. The sauces were amazing. Definitely order the sweet chili sauce. The rice was flavorful and not oily. Complimentary side of soup was hot and flavorful; also not oily. I thought the chicken was just ok. A little more on the drier side but it soaked up the sauces pretty well. I paid just over $20 after tax and that's without a beverage. In my opinion, a little more on the pricey side, given the portion. I think if I didn't pay for extra rice I would still have been hungry. They have complimentary water which tasted great, lie filtered water with cucumbers. Overall, good service. Island vibe theming inside. Easy to find free parking in front parking lot. read more

Burd Chicken Rice - Chicken Shop Near Me - West Covina, California

Some of the best chicken I've had recently came from a stop we almost didn't make at Burd Chicken. We were in the area for a softball tournament and by the time it wrapped up we were starving. This place happened to be on the way home, so we decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad we did. We ordered the lemongrass chicken and the crispy chicken, and both were excellent. The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. The garlic rice was another standout! Fragrant, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The plate also came with a small cup of broth, which was a nice complement to the meal, although it was a little mild for my personal taste. The only downside for us was the portion balance. A large portion of the plate is filled with raw cabbage, which makes the dish appear bigger than it actually is. While the rice portion was good, the protein felt a bit limited. We're also not big fans of plain raw cabbage, so we ended up leaving all of it behind. If it had been seasoned or lightly blanched, it might have felt more like a thoughtful side rather than filler. That said, the flavor of the chicken and the rice alone would bring me back. If you're looking for something quick and tasty, this is definitely a great stop. But if you're coming in absolutely starving, the portion-to-price ratio might leave you wishing for a bit more. read more

A friend and I ordered this for takeout and loved how convenient the parking and pick up experience was. We ordered one fried and one regular to share which was great to try both dishes. We also got one Strawberry Dragon Fruit and one Cane Kumquat which were both very refreshing and a generous size. We both felt like the chickens were decent but felt the sauces provided were a little lacking. The rice however was the star of our dishes and we loved how flavorful and perfectly cooked the rice was. Overall would definitely come back for a quick pick up in the area for decent hainan chicken rice. read more

May I suggest you look at the menu before you go and it is cashless with that being, the food is excellent!

I was looking forward to trying this place and couldn't wait for the LB location to open up and instead drove to West Covina. I ordered online which was easy to do, but I was charged a 5% Online Platform Fee. It's a small restaurant with a few small tables and barstools. Not great for groups. No one was there when I was there around 5:30pm. Enjoyed the Hainan Chicken and Ginger Rice with the chili-ginger sauce. The chicken had some skin which tasted great together and was tender. The accompanying soup was delicious. The Bad - the Burd Bombs were very dry and tasted overcooked. Ordered the chili garlic chicken wing but it did not have any chili flavor so the name was misleading. Flavor was pretty bland. I'm not sure if I would come back to this location but I would be willing to give LB a chance when they open. read more

In the mood for chicken and something different, this is definitely the place to check out. For me, the chicken broth was bland and in desperate need of seasoning. The combo plate was okay, both the chicken and the rice needed seasoning and a sprinkle of salt. The chili ginger wings were strong in flavor and the bland rice helped out. The Cumquat drink was good. Not familiar with Cambodian flavors, not sure if these flavors were accurate. Customer service was good. read more

Burd Chicken Rice (West Covina) is fresh, filling, and fast. I ordered the Classic Burd ($13.95). It's slow-cooked, dark chicken meat & fresh yellow rice; the meal includes a side of broth and chili-ginger sauce & ginger scallion sauce. The meal felt satisfying, clean, and healthy. I arrived at Burd Chicken Rice (West Covina) on Thursday (around 11:35AM). The location is busy yet efficient. There's two self-service ordering stations. Also, there's a counter where staff can take your order. (Quick Note: The Self-Service Stations requests a phone number; however, it's not needed. You can leave it blank and just hit "continue.") Staff is courteous and diligent. Staff regularly exclaim friendly phrases and offer help to customers. In addition, the food arrived ridiculously fast! It only took three minutes and 15 seconds!! The Classic Burd ($13.95) is filling. The chicken tasted clean and tender. By itself, there's no real flavor; however, it became much more enjoyable when dipped into the tangy chili-ginger sauce. The chicken portions are not huge, but it's a satisfying size. Personally, I enjoyed the fresh yellow rice the most. I loved how this rice tasted slightly fragrant and hot. There's also a self-service water station, and I genuinely enjoyed its crisp, chill, & refreshing water. Regarding ambiance, Burd Chicken Rice (West Covina) is clean and well-decorated. The art mural on its wall is gorgeous and vibrant. The tables are shiny and smooth. Also, the music is upbeat and enjoyable. If I were to nitpick, the location felt a little stuffy and warm. Overall, Burd Chicken Rice (West Covina) is a solid, affordable, & healthy option. The food lacks a memorable flavor; however, its food is fresh, clean, and filling. If local, it's a great option towards making a healthier lifestyle change. 4.5 out of 5 read more

Tried this place 3x but we usually do take out.. The chicken was tender and the rice had good flavor, though nothing really stood out as amazing. Portions were fair but pricy. The highlight would be the crispy skin. It's my hubby's fav. The first time was great generous portion, then second time was small and third time seems like they changed the to go boxes and the price went up! The vibe is casual and service was friendly, making it an easy spot for a quick bite. Sadly their closed on Sunday's read more

This place is located in downtown West Covina. There is usually plenty of parking. But can get busy towards the evening during the weekends because of the theater near by. When you walk in there are 2 kiosks and a register to order from. The staff is always super friendly. We came 2 times and they remembered us the second time! The dining area is pretty spacious and they also offer outdoor seating. I got the lemon chicken (not pictured) and my sister got the OG hainan chicken with rice and this hit so hard!! Rice and chicken were so flavorful and I also got a strawberry milk and it was also amazing! I've had my share of hainan chicken and this is top 3 for me! They also have friend chicken skin and fries which were also great! Definitely recommend! read more

Burd Chicken Rice - My new best friend - Chicken Shop Near Me - West Covina, California

Dear Mr. Burd Rice. Me and my four friends got a recommendation to try out Burd Chicken Rice and decided to go with it. I had no issues with the parking and receiving the meal. The issues come from getting the food, expensive overall, small portions for the price (excluding the wings and lemongrass burrito that we ordered), and bland (including the burrito ). I got the krispy chicken and although it was crispy, it was dry and bland, one friend got the classic burd and noted the same bland taste but it wasn't dry. Second friend got the burrito, bland as well. Third person got some chicken broth soup and soy garlic wings, no issues there specically on the soup and wings. Overall, not good, although the pictures are as bad as the food. ($125.64 Final price) read more

I'm just gonna do a quick rating: Coconut Water and Sugar Cane Drink -- Solid 8.5/10 The Classic Hainan Chicken Rice -- a 7.9 / 10 The Chicken Skin Crisp -- a 4 / 10 Ambience: 9/10 clean & modern Service: 10/10 very friendly So I'll get right to it why I rated the crispy chicken skins that were recommended to me low. If you ever been to Hondaya, Ojiya, or any one of those old school yakitori places in Taiwan, usually Chicken skins are not fried per se so it was interesting trying out a fried version here. The skins in the above mentioned places are treated, stretched out grilled / charcoaled and rubbed with some yakitori / Sacha sauce to maximize texture and flavor. Here at Burd Chicken Rice, the Crispy Chicken Skins had a gamey taste, a little too gamey. It almost felt like the skins were tossed directly into the frier, not treated, and coated with pepper flakes, pepper powder, and some spices. It tasted like Fried Pork Skin, a little too greasy, a little overwhelming. So when you have Hainan Chicken which is steamed, boiled with Ginger, Rice Wine for pretreatment, the chicken itself is very refreshing, while the skins were the direct opposit of that. You can either coat the skins with curry powder marinade then fry, gochi berries rice wine marinade then fry, or 5 spices then fry then toss together with chilli powder and msg to give it a kicker Or if stand alone, a vinegar based sauce with more sourness and pepper salt would be a better compliment to the crisps. The Hainan Chicken itself was fairly decent, although this was the first time it was presented on a bed of cabbage. I'd wish there were more vinegar based pickled radishes or cucumbers to compliment the chicken. The meat was really tender, rice a little on the softer side, was overall decent; not WoW, but more like ya, if I'm passing by and I need to fill that void for Hainan Chicken, it's a yes. read more

Great spot for a quick bite. The lemongrass chicken bowl was great. I also got the crispy tofu with chili sauce with a side of rice. The rice is delicious. I love it, pour some of the ginger scallion sauce on top and it is so good. Next time I think I will try the mix burd plate. The staff is really nice as well. You order on the kiosk and food doesn't take long to come out. The only thing I woold not order again is the Cajun fries. I don't think it was worth the money, which I thought was high for seasoned French fries. They have a small patio for outdoor seating which was nice.

I'll start by saying this was my first time trying a Vietnamese-style chicken rice bowl, so maybe part of this is just a mismatch in expectations. I'm used to bold, layered Vietnamese flavors--dishes like Bo Luc Lac, lemongrass grilled chicken, pho, and egg rolls--so I went in expecting something along those lines. Instead, the overall impression came across pretty mild. Even the sauces that came with the bowl didn't really bring it to life for me. I ordered the Classic Hainan and Lemongrass combo. From what I understand, Hainan chicken is meant to be more subtle, so that may just not be my preference. That said, the dish also looked quite different from the photos they've posted, which set a different expectation going in. Portion-wise, it felt a bit small for a $17+ chicken rice dish. Service was okay--staff answered my questions, but responses were pretty minimal. I actually came in because of their Instagram, which was well done and drew me in. The space itself is convenient too--plenty of parking and seating. But overall, the execution didn't quite match the impression the marketing gave. One last thing--at this price point, being served in plastic bowls with basic utensils doesn't really elevate the experience. read more

The entree costs ~$14, around the normal price range for Hainan Chicken Rice. Got the Classic Burd + Cane Pom combo for ~$20, portion was just enough for one. Cane Pom was sour and overpowering the flavor of sugar cane, I preferred 50/50 (coconut + cane) for a more refreshing flavor of sugar cane. Drink is made fresh at the time of order, the worker brings sugarcane out from the back. It's all natural flavor, definitely a healthy alternative drink to combo with the entree. The rice was moist and chicken was tender and fresh. The two comboed well with the sauce and resulting in a flavorful meal. The soup was one of the best I've had at a Hainan Chicken Rice restaurant. It was well-seasoned with a slight kick of ginger and cilantro. Drink: 3/5, Chicken/Rice: 4.5/5, Soup: 5/5 read more

I recently tried Burd Chicken Rice and had their mixed plate with both the classic and lemongrass chicken--everything was seriously good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the rice paired perfectly with it. You can tell they put care into the quality and seasoning. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed the food. I'm already planning to come back and bring my wife so she can try it too. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for some solid chicken rice. read more

I was excited when I read the positive reviews about Burd Chicken Rice. I recently came back from Singapore and was looking forward to having Hainan Chicken again. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The flavor was bland and not what I had expected. But...I want to start by saying the crispy chicken skins were excellent...perfectly seasoned. The smell was so tempting that I couldn't wait to get home. I admit I had to sneak in a taste. I think the skins taste best when hot and crispy. The flavor of the Classic Burd was bland. The scallion and ginger sauce added flavor, but overall still bland. I'm not sure how to describe the Krispy Burd. It was definitely not crispy. It tasted like day old chicken that had been overcooked. The meat was dry and not flavorful. The interior of the restaurant was clean. Service was friendly. The gentleman advised us that it would take about 10 minutes to prepare our food after we placed our order. read more

I am so happy this place is open and so close to home. Their food is so good and it's perfect every time. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their cooking, packaging, and service in general. I mainly come here when I'm under the weather for their congee. It is so comforting every time and I take so much solace knowing they are there for me when I'm not feeling well. The restaurant is clean and well cared for too. That's important to me. This is a well maintained business for sure. Thank you!! read more

Definitely high up there for chicken rice. I'm reviewing as a take out order. Quick turnaround with ordering at register. I had the classic burd and ordered crackling skins. The chicken is a little drier than cluck to go but not super over dried. The rice is flavorful and generous. I think the serving of chicken is smaller here than cluck to go. The highlight is the sauce- they do not skimp on ingredients to make the ginger scallion sauce. The sauce cup is packed with ginger and scallion vs other places they serve the ginger scallion sauce with mostly oil. The vinegar ginger sauce is also surprisingly good, nice tang to the mix. I absolute recommend the crackling skins... very crispy and not overly oily. Such a treat! I will definitely come back again! read more

Burd is located in this strip mall next to Plaza West Covina. I heard about how the hainan chicken rice so since we were j. the area we tried it out. i got the hainan chicken rice plate and wife got the lemongrass chicken plate the portions were decent as well were full after finishing our plates. can with 2 sauces: the standard scallions and ginger sauce and another sauce church my wife raved about. i would say the hainan chicken was good the chicken moist and had enough flavor. rice flavor was not overpowering and you can take the broth in the rice. lemongrass chicken i wish it had more flavor. the lemongrass flavor was there but subtle overall not a bad place for hainan chicken. for the 2 of us, just 2 chicken plates no drinks came out to $30 pre tax and tip. you order at a kiosk and u can either pick up or they will bro g your tray. but you bus your tray after finishing. they have both indoor and outdoor seating. not the tables outdoors are not that stable so be forewarned read more

Brought my family here for dinner and we were all happy with the meal. The Hainanese chicken rice is really solid--chicken was juicy with perfectly crispy skin, and the garlic rice was a big hit with the kids. We also got the crispy tofu, which was nicely seasoned and crunchy, and the Burd chicken bites. Those bites are seriously better than popcorn chicken--tender inside with great flavor and crispiness. Service was friendly and quick too. They provide sporks, which made scooping the soup a little tricky, but it's a minor thing and didn't ruin the experience. Overall, one of the best Hainanese chicken rice spots in the SGV. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area or right after IKEA! read more
