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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The food is good! Nice vibes inside of the store and the workers are chill. Would come back to try their other items.

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

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

I came here with a Cambodian friend because we wanted to support local Cambodian businesses. Their main dishes are not Cambodian but Hainan, and although people would argue it's fusion, there aren't many hints of Cambodian flavors either. I don't think they claim to have Cambodian food here but fusion yet they also heavily emphasize that they are Cambodian owed. This is truly a melange of different styles of food put together. I got their classic burd and krispy burd. The classic had good flavor but the krispy seemed over fried to me, either it was double/ triple fried or par fried then fried again for a bit too long. I also got their fries and 50/50 cococane which were pretty expensive but solid. I will say if you order any fried items it will come out very crispy, if that's what you're into. There were kiosks up front to order. It was very slow when I arrived and the cashier/server brought my order out to the table for me. Inside is clean and has cute painted walls. Overall the price point was high for what you get and although some of their dishes had great flavor I'd prefer the taste of the original chicken dishes to the fusion. read more

Ordered Door dash delivery from this chicken rice shop the other day. It's been chilly and hubby caught a cold. So chicken rice was a good choice for him. We have tried chicken congee and two kinds of chicken rice. The food was so comforting and delicious. Portions were great for the prices. We will definitely order from this place again! 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. Since we were outside they brought the items to 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

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

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

Notes: 1. They are chicken rice with a Cambodian twist (according to their website) 2. 4% discount if paying with cash Mixed burd $15.50: Option to get 2 of the following: the classic hainan chicken, lemon grass or deep fried "krispy" chicken. I went with the latter 2. The lemon grass was tender & had decent flavor, but I thought could use more flavor. The "krispy" chicken was ok but a bit dry since it was deep fried. It also came with yellow rice that had a good flavor that still persisted despite me mixing each bite with sauces & chicken. Speaking of sauces, it came with a ginger scallion sauce & chili-ginger sauce. The ginger scallion sauce was pretty good while the chili-ginger was sweet & spicy but could use a bit more flavor. It also came with a soup that was solid but just like some of the other items, my preference would be with a bit more flavor. Decent portion size for the price. Overall: Friendly service (hence the 4 stars) and solid food (I would give them 3 stars for that). I'm glad I got to try it. read more

Dry burd. This was my first time ordered from here because I saw a good review of it. Unfortunately the one I ordered was so disappointing, Krispy burd. So dry, chicken was too sticky like being sitting there all night and resell or reserved in the morning. Please it tasted like reheated left over chicken. My teeth were shifting while I was chewing it that how bad it was. Not sure may be I ordered this at 5:30 PM, but the food shouldn't look like this or taste like this. I threw the chicken away and i added my eggs on the rice instead. Please improve. I might try again next time. Maybe not idk. I wish that they could refund my money back. With service fee and tip for the driver the total came out closer to $30 come on.! And what I got was a terrible dish. Presentation was good rice was good, but the chicken was very very bad. read more

This places hits the spot! I've typically only had Singaporean hainan chicken rice. Never had Cambodian style but this place did not disappoint! I heard so much about this place on the Facebook page "SGV Eats" and on social media that I had to try it. I got the mixed bowl of lemongrass chicken and regular chicken with all the sauces and it was BOMB. The sauces make it and the lemongrass flavor comes through but isn't over powering. I'd definitely come back again. The value for what you get is pretty good. I also tried their chicken skin with garlic aioli. I wanted it to be a bit crispier so I took it home and put it in the air fryer for a couple mins and I felt like it was much better! Service was prompt at around 6pm on a Saturday night. Very casual spot that can you bring for a chill night out with friends or family. read more

Great little spot! We love supporting Cambodian-owned businesses so it's cool seeing one out here in West Co. Rice is super flavorful! The chili ginger sauce is incredible and Dee even gave us some to-go because my brother mentioned that he liked it (': Super sweet staff!

I personally recommend the lemongrass. Broth was nice and light to pair with everything. Some of the better sugarcane juice I've had in the States -- very light and subtly sweet, really fresh! Definitely would recommend! read more

Was looking for a place to get some work done and have a healthy lunch. This spot had flavored drinks AND meals. I haven't had Hainanese chicken in a while so it was great to check this spot out. AMBIANCE: Parking: Plaza parking. I didn't have any issues. Seating: Outside and inside seating. Generally great for groups and room for about 30 people. Vibes: You're in the West Covina area so there are a lot of good eats here and there. There is a movie theater plaza but right across is an area for more good eats, such as Burd Chicken Rice. The place itself is pretty spacious, vibrant, and the pop music can be pretty loud. Great place to socialize however if you need a place to get work done, they got wifi! FOOD: Mix Burd (Classic & Lemongrass) + Dark Meat - (Recommend) Deeeeelicious! From the rice, the chicken meats, and to the sauce! The rice was soft and moist, chicken was juicy and calmly flavorful, and the sauces gave a pleasant kick to the meal from a nice bite from ginger to a subtle sweet flavor. The broth gives it a nice touch between bites. I thought the dark meat was crispy chicken but I was wrong. Cane O Matcha (Recommend) Pleasant! I enjoyed the natural sweetness from the sugarcane to help balance the matcha taste. The oat milk help provide a creamy texture. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I believe I met Ricky. Rick and the team was great! Friendly and charismatic. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Fantastic! With all these new fusions and complicated flavors, I really enjoyed the simplicity of Hainanese chicken. Great flavors, reasonable price, and a pleasant experience! I wish the Burd Chicken Rice team all the best! #RepresentASIAN TIPS: * They do catering too! * Hainan is a place in Southeast China but this dish has spread throughout Southeast Asia! read more

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

These are some tasty chicken and rice meals and refreshing, sweet drinks! I was in the area for lunch when I came across Burd Chicken Rice on Yelp. The menu and reviews intrigued me and made me hungry. Most of the menu featured dark meat chicken, and the Lemongrass Burrito caught my eye. I placed my order, which arrived at our table in a few minutes. The burrito had a delicious and clean flavor. The chicken was tender, the rice was nicely seasoned, and the veggies added a fresh texture. The ginger scallion sauce added a punch of acidity that complimented it well. My friend enjoyed his Mix Burd Plate, which included classic and lemongrass chicken. After our meal, I decided to try the Cane Passion drink for the drive home. It was refreshing and sweet. It was my first time here, and it was a pleasant experience with friendly staff and clean dining areas. I hope to return to the area to try more items or get that burrito again! read more

Let me start with $12 for pure cane juice? I think that is way too expensive. I got the kumquat cane juice. I have had my fair share of fresh sugar cane juice my entire life and I have to give this drink a 1 star. Im unsure if the sugar cane was old, but the juice tasted thick and pressed a while ago.Press sugar cane juice is not supposed to taste thick. My chicken was partially cold which I didn't expect especially because it was grilled? The flavor was very very subtle and the chicken was moist. The rice was made perfectly, I thought there would be some flavor as Hainan rice plates are usually aromatic. Chili ginger sauce was 5/5. The ginger scallion sauce 1/5. There was little to no flavor, it needed some salt. I think a positive thing about this experience was the person who took my order was very kind and nice. Parking is in front of the store in a lot. read more

Decided to give Burd Chicken Rice a try after seeing them on Yelp a few times. Not bad for Hainan Chicken in the area! They also had 30% off drinks if you combo it with a meal. Mixed Burd: Half Classic, Half Lemongrass. We thought the Lemongrass was better out of the two. Good amount of rice and I like that they also include a bed of lettuce. Krispy Burd: The crispiness seemed to get soggy fast. I think maybe because the batter was light and the chicken was sliced too thin? Wish it was more crispier. Cane-O-Matcha: Surprisingly not bad. I thought it was going to be weird because I've never seen Oat milk mixed in with sugarcane juice before. Think of it more like an ice Matcha latte. Overall, clean restaurant with friendly staff and quick service. Location is kind of in a off spot, but there's plenty of parking and a few other local restaurants in the area. read more

A very solid spot for some chicken rice -- they use dark meat and it helps with not having dry meat, rice is flavored well, sauces are good, too. We came here twice within a week and got to try the burrito and rice plates with either their classic or lemongrass chicken. The soup that came with the rice plate was well-seasoned. Also ordered the fried chicken skin and that was good, too. I like their variety of sugarcane, coffee and non-caffeinated drinks, but I was a bit disappointed in their strawberry milk as I found it really bland (no hint of strawberry flavor after mixing the drink). Overall, I'll be coming back and willing to make the drive. read more

We were here on a rainy afternoon so there weren't too many people eating in, but we saw a ton of pickups. This spot is open and inviting. Theres a cool mural on the wall. Classic Burd Chicken Rice Plate - the chicken was poached and very tender, very similar to Hainan chicken. The yellow rice was pretty good, but was a bit hard. Krispy Burd Chicken Rice Plate - deep fried dark meat chicken, it had good flavor. The rice was a bit hard. The chicken rice plates had good flavor, but the portions are smaller than comparable places. They used cabbage to hold up the chicken to make it presentable, but then you end up throwing the cabbage away. The side of chicken broth was really good, great flavor. Cane Passion - Coconut water, Fresh sugar cane juice and Passionfruit is yum Cracking Skins - fried chicken skin, I don't know what I was expecting (maybe some flavor), but it was just the skins. We didn't finish this The chili ginger sauce is so yum! The ginger scallion was good, but a bit chunky, I like it all blended up. You can order at the kiosk at the entrance. Service was quick and friendly. Parking is convenient at the curb. Recommended read more

I've now eaten here a few times. The service and hospitality has been excellent. I ordered the lemongrass bird a couple of times and the classic burd. I really like the rice, and crunch cabbage under the chicken. When sauces are mixed in it's a great bite with the textures and flavors. The chili ginger one has a stronger kick, so keep that in mind. While I do enjoy the lemongrass burd it can be a hint on the salty side after a while. Next time I'll try the crispy burd. I also really enjoyed the Thai iced tea and the 50/50 drinks. read more

I ordered takeout from here, and the service was fast. My food was ready in just 15 minutes after I called. I went with the mixed bird plate combo, which came with half classic bird and half lemongrass bird, served on shredded cabbage, yellow rice, and cucumbers. For the drink, I chose the kumquat sugarcane, and it was really refreshing--the citrus gave the sugarcane juice a nice, bright flavor, though there was a slight bitterness at the end. The complementary sauces were tasty and really needed to level up the plates. The ginger scallion sauce smelled amazing, but I was more into the chili ginger sauce. It was tangy, had a little kick, and was just more bold and flavorful compared to the scallion ginger sauce. The whole meal felt pretty light, which I liked because it didn't leave me feeling heavy. My husband got the crispy bird and said it was a little dry, and really needed the sauces to bring it to life. He also ordered the strawberry milk, but we wouldn't recommend it. It barely had any strawberry flavor. It was $4 for what was mostly just a cup plain of milk. They did offer a choice between oat milk or regular milk, but though I'm not sure if there's an up charge with the milk alternative. I also appreciated that that each plate came with a cup of light chicken broth. I'm curious about their Burd Bomb, which is advertised as crispier than popcorn chicken, and I'd try it again to explore more of the menu. However, I personally felt the price point was a bit high for what I received--my total came to just over $40 for two plates and two beverages. Overall, the food was decent, but there were a few misses with the Krispy bird plate and underwhelming Strawberru milk 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

I've heard from so many sources that Burd has the best hainan chicken so I finally went today since I happened to be in West Covina. It's just OK! I really don't understand the hype though. Maybe I had high expectations because of all the reviews saying it was the best. It feels like it's definitely overrated. It's also overpriced for what you get. I'm not sure if it was my error or their system glitched but I thought I ordered the Mixed Combo (half hainan, half lemongrass) but I received lemongrass chicken only and that's what my printed receipt said I ordered. It is a bit deceiving because it seems like you are getting a lot of food, but it's basically all filler: a lot of raw shredded cabbage, really big slices of cucumber and rice. The chicken portion is pretty small considering it should be the star of the meal. The rice is delicious (5/5), the chicken could have used more lemongrass flavor (3/5). It was nice they included soup but the soup is pretty lacking in chicken broth flavor (2/5). I got the 50/50 (half coconut walk, half sugar cane juice) as my drink (4/5) and it was really good but I don't think I would pay full price for it outside of the combo deal. Also noticed that after I finished my drink that 50% of the cup was ice. I usually order less ice with my drink because I don't like my drinks that cold but noticed that if you order less ice, that they charge more which most places don't do. I realize that if they are giving less ice, they need to give more drink but I would have preferred less ice and the same amount of drink. It would be better if they gave less cabbage, thinner cucumber slices, and way more chicken for the price point. With tax and tip, it's almost $30. Also didn't like that their ordering system already pre-selects your tip for you. Most of the time, you select the tip in a separate screen and there's no on-screen option to do no tip unless you select custom. While I liked my food, I couldn't help thinking I could get much better, bigger portioned food somewhere else. While it's not bad, it is worth trying. I would eat here again if I was in the area and craving chicken and rice, but I don't think it's not worth the price for a casual sit-down/takeout experience. read more
