This is ghost kitchen location and I'm usually skeptical with ghost kitchen restaurant, but I tried…read morethe one in Stanton and it's been my favorite one of my favorites actually for hainan chicken rice and I feel like the rice is solid. It It could have been better tho because it's a little bit dry but most importantly is a very flavorful rice which what chicken rice is supposed to be. The food came up pretty quick and like Argo's kitchens they have their own pick up ways or methods and it's pretty easy to do as well plenty of parking in the plaza. Staff is very nice to give me extra sauces. The pickup place is designed to pick up other ghost kitchens restaurants in the same building so they have some instructions on that.

Unfortunately, I've had much much better hainan chicken. The rice is bland and the scallion ginger…read moresauce is extremely salty with no other flavor. I'm talking "I'm basically dipping my chicken in salt" salty. Their red sauce is like a sweet hot sauce and the brown one I believe is soy sauce. On the bright side, the chicken was very tender and yummy! And they are generous with the soup which was also delicious. For the place itself, it is a ghost kitchen shared with several other food businesses so you can also order things like sushi or Thai food! There's some seats and tables outside. Parking is limited, but it wasn't busy when I went on a Thursday evening.

I decided to try the classic Hainan chicken with ginger rice. I appreciated that they let me choose two free sauces to go with the rice compared to other Hainan chicken spots. The ginger scallion sauce tasted a bit sour, not sure if it's a different recipe than I'm used to or it went bad. And the chopped ginger and chili I had thought was a sauce was just the chopped vegetables itself. The chicken portions were great, but meat was a bit on the drier side. I love how the rice was broken rice though. And the soup was a different taste than what I'm used to as a side soup.

I stumbled upon The Chicken Rice during the height of the pandemic. It's essentially a Thai spin on…read moreHainanese chicken and rice. Thinking back, each time I visited this shop was right after completing an important task. When they first opened their brick and mortar shop, it was a very short walk from the OC Superior Court. Recently, I've learned that they have relocated to 4th Street Market (4SM), which is about a 15 minute walk from the courts. This is a good move as the new location allows for more visibility and plenty of seating within 4SM. Food/Drinks: Hainan Chicken Rice - this entree is just as good as it was four years ago, but instead of pickled veggies, they have now substituted it with fresh cucumbers. Definitely recommend. Crispy Chicken Salad - wanted some greens, but can't recall this entree being all that memorable. Larb Crispy Chicken Rice - wow! For those craving more spice and flavor, this is the one to order. Would highly recommend for those wanting more umami and texture. Thaiger Milk Tea - I liked the play on words here and also they used to offer a small and large size. I definitely recalled this being extremely sweet. I guess there's a reason this is no longer on the menu. They now offer a rewards program supported by Toast, so returning customers can earn one point for each dollar spent. Shame that I don't live in the surrounding area anymore or else I would be here whenever I'm at 4SM. Metered parking right outside the food hall or at one of the nearby parking garages. Service is also very friendly and helpful!

I had visited their Redondo Beach location before, so it's great to see they have a spot in Long…read moreBeach. Which made for a perfect meeting spot for me and a friend. She ordered the fried Hainan chicken rice, while I went with the fried Hainan chicken rice noodles. My dish also came with a couple of wontons, ground pork, and half an egg, which was a nice bonus. On a recent Wednesday lunch visit, we noticed most people were ordering takeout and we were actually the only ones dining in. Like the other location, you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It's a very casual spot, and you can even request a bowl of chicken broth on the side. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. I ordered a Zebb Chicken rice to-go and it was still good for dinner!

This place appeared to be well rated with another location. We tried this one in Long Beach, it was…read moredisappointing as the place appeared to be busy but the cars parked in front were some other customer cars for the nearby business. The parking is hard since it's in the area of Long Beach with lots of condos, so you are fighting to find a place. Once we got inside we noticed it was empty, not a soul in sight except the cashier. We ordered a hainan chicken and a bowl of chicken noodle with ground noodle (sub egg noodle). They only offered dark meat or ground chicken, kind of sad as a chicken place. The broth was not rich and the chicken on the drier side. The pieces did not look like it came from the same chicken (usually it'll form the shape of whatever they cut up, but presentation was not their strong suit). The sauces for the hainan was on the saltier side and not as good as other places. The rice... Did they not throw in broth for it to cook? I did not taste much chicken flavor. The noodles, it's intended to be on the blander side, that's fine. The noodle though... It was as if they could've cooked a bit longer, they seemed to stick together and was not quite al dente so I stirred them around for about a minute to break it apart. Ground chicken, nothing special to season it with, at least it did not have chicken stench. Lastly, the door was left open, the amount of flies coming in was a lot. It was off putting. The neighborhood does not appear friendly or safe as the front door was boarded up. Also a sign saying there is no cash here (implying lots of robberies/burglers). I don't like giving low ratings, but the reviews for this place weren't... Convinencing.

This place is a gem. It's a small location with big flavors. Location is always neat and clean…read more We've taken our food to go and we have dined in. When you dine in they bring metal cups with an icy cold carafe of cold water to your table. Customer service is efficient. The person behind the counter is very soft spoken and gives you a slight smile but gets your order correct every time. Hands down so don't argue with me they have the absolute BEST orange chicken. It has a slight crunch on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside. The orange sauce is perfection. It has a great balance of salty and sweet without being overly sweet like an orange candy. It's not tart and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They put the right amount of sauce so it is not drenched. Pair it with the garlic rice and the salad that crops and fresh no dressing is even needed. Order this and you will be happy. The regular white rice is good too! The Zapp chicken is crunchy, juicy and spicy. I normally cannot eat spicy but this one is perfect. Since my 24 year old son told me about this restaurant I've been here four times in the past month. Simply delicious!!!

This was my 1st visit since the COVID era and it appears that Taishi Hainan Kitchen now shares the…read moresame kitchen with Tea 9 and Blossom Ramen. In addition, Taishi Hainan Chicken also opened another location in Long Beach. [Parking]: The parking lot is fairly small and is shared with Chicken Maison, but there is usually a spot available to park. [Ordering]: There's a kiosk to place an order at the cashier counter and I didn't pay any additional fee. However if customers order online via Chowbus, then there is a $1 online ordering fee. I received my order in less than 10 minutes as I was the sole customer. [Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in atmosphere and nothing to write home about. [Menu]: For their signature Thai-style Hainan Chicken, customers can order original, fried, or mixed chicken. There is no longer a Yelp check-in offer for free Herbal Chicken Soup, but it remains another popular order. *** Mixed Hainan Chicken Rice ($15.72): This order came with two sauces - one dark & spicy soy sauce (good for fried white chicken) and one sweet & sour sauce (good for original white meat). I personally prefer the fried over the original. Decent portion and enough to feed 1 adult. Herbal Chicken Soup (with spicy dipping sauce - $9.65): This is a really nice soup to drink when you have a cold. The broth had 5 herbs - Codonopsis, Rhizoma, Goji Berry, Dioscorea, and Astragalus. The chicken soup also had mushrooms and the broth was very savory. *** Overall still a solid 4 stars for the Hainan chicken rice and herbal chicken soup. This is one of those places I wouldn't mind stopping by again if I am looking to switch things up with what I want to eat for the day.

My group got the chicken wings, garlic pork spare ribs, fried tofu, yellow curry, drunken noodles with chicken, and the steamed chicken rice. We ate family style and these dishes were able to get the table of 2 girls and 3 guys full with leftovers! - Steamed chicken rice: 10/10 DELICIOUS, packed with flavor, and definitely the favorite for everyone at the table. Would recommend getting this!! - drunken noodles: 9/10 great flavor, but I'd recommend making it spicy - fried tofu: 5/10, this was ok. This is the same tofu they used when we got tofu in our curry so if you're getting a dish with tofu as the protein, I dont think you need to get this - chicken wings: 7.5/10 good and solid wings - garlic pork spare ribs: 3/10 these were really crispy and many of us found it hard to eat but it has potential! - yellow curry: 8/10 good curry, would order again - Thai tea: 7/10 average but good We didn't get to try the pad Thai but that's next on the list. We'll definitely be back!

Sauces I've had better, they're nothing to write home to, but they add flavor to the otherwise tasty chicken. There's a chili sauce, soy sauce, and ginger garlic. Ginger had the most robust flavor, the others were on the basic side for me. Meatball soup Very delish. Best beef balls I ever had ??

It was incredibly crispy on the outside while staying juicy inside. Dipping it into the sweet sauce with a little of the chili sauce was the perfect combination, sweet, tangy.
