    Fried Chicken (Cutlet) Box
    Jessica L.

    Food: great option for on the go or take out meals! I will say, I preferred the hainan chicken over the fried cutlet. It was perfectly moist and not dry at all. Minus 1 star because the fried cutlet was dry. It is cool that they let you pick your sauces! Service: didn't talk to anyone, ordered online! They seemed friendly. Ambiance: casual spot, nothing too special.

    First time trying Vietnamese coffee with Thai Tea and let me just say it is DELICIOUS! Definitely need to go back and try the food! A must try! Great customer service, friendly staff.

    Hainan Chicken Box
    Sandee L.

    Hainan chicken done right: Moist and succulent and no bone shards! Double up on the ginger scallion oil for your choice of two sauces. A meal comes with a small chicken broth and a side salad besides the sliced chicken on a big bed of flavorful rice. I'm a fan of chicken meets rice!

    This wasn't my first encounter with Chicken Meets Rice as I had visited their other location in Santa Clara. We really liked it then, so it was an easy choice for a quick dinner before our flight out. The major difference between the two experiences was the actual restaurant itself and what it had to offer. This location is much larger and spacious than the Santa Clara location, which feels more like a takeout spot. We ordered at the kiosk, and it's a pretty easy menu to order from. We each got our own Chicken Box, whether it was the Fried Chicken Box with Chicken Rice for $14.99 or the Hainan Chicken Box with Chicken Rice for $14.99. My absolute favorite sauce to get is the Ginger Scallion Oil. There's a self service water station and we took a seat. We were surprised that our food was brought out to us, as this was definitely not the case at the other one. (I'm not sure if it was because they weren't too busy and the order was obviously for us, or because the owners were working. And that's another thing, I really appreciated seeing the owners working the actual line. They were packing the food up and doing all the work, just like any other employee would.) I was pleasantly surprised to see our meal served in actual dish ware with real cutlery! Wow. This really just made the dinner that much better. And it was easy with clean up as they had bins near the trashcan so you can put your dirty dishes away. (This practice is so much more efficient than using disposable containers for dining in. I, personally, do not enjoy eating out of takeout containers or using horrible plastic cutlery.) And the food just presented a lot better not crammed into some box! We aren't in the area very often, but we know where we'll be grabbing dinner before our next flight out.

    Tried Chicken Meets Rice and I really loved their Hainanese chicken. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was just as good--super fragrant and satisfying. Everything just worked together really well. Definitely a comforting meal done right.

    Fried Tofu Box (GF) (Veg.)
    Maribel M.

    Ordered take-out after seeing this in the neighborhood. * Location: On Coleman in the Costco shopping center. Getting into the center can be a pain depending on how heavy Costco traffic is. * Service: Quick order pick-up, well packaged meals. * Ambiance: Indoor seating * Food: Partner tried the Fried Chicken Cutlet, I had the Fried Tofu Box. I appreciated the vegetarian option (especially since the main draw is chicken) & the lightly-fried tofu (not oily, good texture). Sauces were a highlight. Overall good portion for a fair price, we'd check it out again when we're in the area.

    Hainan Chicken with chicken rice

    I thoroughly enjoy Chicken Meets Rice every time I get food there. The first location I ever tried was off of Tasman long ago. Now that my company has moved offices, we are right across the street from this one off of Coleman. I've walked over a few times to order take out and once to dine in. All experiences have been exactly what I wanted and needed. Dining in there was actually nicer than I expected. My food didn't come in a box (which was all I had known having only ever ordered as takeout). I found a nice quiet corner to sit in and my food was brought out to me when it was ready. It was lovely. The broth was warm and comforting, the quality of the chicken was top notch - never too dry. The chicken rice is tasty. CMR sauce is the best sauce and always the way to go with the Hainan chicken. I always look forward to the food and will be coming back for many more years as long as they continue to stick around!

    I didn't know they opened up this Chicken Meet Rice location. My wife and I stumbled upon it when we went shopping at Costco. There is a lot of parking around. This location is spacious, though it does not have a lot of seating inside and there is no outside seating available. They have two kiosks to order from. The mobile order pickup area is to the side. Only one unisex restroom. *Hainan Chicken Box (with dark meat with skin) (4/5). Served with your choice of two sauces. Also included is a salad, sliced cucumbers, and chicken broth. Come support your local business.

    Love Hainan chicken rice! Please open more locations around the Bay Area (San Mateo Area!!!). I really appreciate the option to mix half rice and half veggies, choose different sauces, and pick between grilled or classic Hainan chicken. The Coffee Meets Tea drink is also perfectly balanced--not too sweet, with just the right amount of caffeine. If it's your first time, I highly recommend trying the Coffee Meets Tea and the regular Hainan chicken with chicken rice. There are plenty of parking spaces since it's located in a plaza, and the interior is spacious and super clean. 10 out of 10!

    So the salad was limp and dated. The chicken was flavorful the rice tasted dated and the soup was like warm. Maybe it was early dinner at 5:15 hence why but not ideal.

    I reckon the best way to describe Chicken Meets Rice is akin to an Asian version Chipotle... It's all Chicken, as the name suggests. I see this as a brilliant alternative for a healthier fast food option. Bright, clean and inviting venue with a very minimalist interior, parking is not an issue with plenty of spaces in the plaza. I didn't really have any interaction with the staff, a guy behind the counter brought my order to the table...that was about it. I used the kiosk to place my order and grabbed a cup of water from the water station. Simple and self explanatory. The food came out fast as well...probably within 5 minutes. No dramas, no worries. #ChickenEats: MIXED PROTEIN: ~ 1/2Fried Chicken - 4/5 ~ 1/2 Grilled Chicken - 4/5 ~ 1/2 Chicken Rice & 1/2 Brown Rice ~ Thai Ginger Soy Sauce - 3.5/5 ~ Singapore Chili Sauce - 3/5 ~ House Salad w/ Sesame Lime Vinaigrette - 4/5 Food was just good, no criticism from me. I liked everything just fine. I didn't think the Singapore Chili Sauce was all spicy, then again I didn't find it spicy in Singapore either. Just a solid fast casual spot to grab a bite to eat...

    The food here was alright, I feel like I've had better chicken meat rice from other places. I think it was a little bit, rushed in preparation probably because they just opened when I got there. The service was OK. The environment is very spacious. I would say that this is a pretty pretty big shop compared to other Chicken Meets Rice.

    Crispy wings - they are amazing!!

It's just too busy. While it is unique and a fun try, it's not for me. The service we experienced on a Saturday for lunch was very poor. We got 3/4 of our entrees, and we continued to wait for the last one. I had to physically get up and catch someone from the counter, as they avoided my table since they thought they were done serving us. It was after waiting for 20 minutes, btw, and when I asked about our last entree, I was told "oh sorry we lost the ticket"... That really left a foul taste for me.... MEH. I don't feel inclined to come back personally, but I can see the novelty. It's cute inside and it's fusion-y and fun. I get it.

The sauce completely overpowered the fish and tasted overly oily, heavy, and unbalanced instead of rich or flavorful. The sea bass itself didn't taste very fresh, and the texture was way too soft in a bad way. Wrapping it in banana leaf made the dish look fancy, but it honestly felt like presentation was doing all the work instead of the actual cooking quality. Even the herbs and chili on top couldn't save it. Definitely one of those dishes that looks amazing in photos but tastes painfully average in real life. What made it even funnier was noticing some of the plates had small cracks on them. Like seriously? You're charging these prices and still serving customers with cracked plates?
