    I was in the area and decided to try their poached chicken. We've been ordering from a different chain since we discovered the dish, and wanted to try Rooster & Rice version. The chicken is more bland by itself compared to the other one where we've been getting. It also felt overcooked and dryer. The sauces are great. It saved the experience. Their pricing is a bit higher by around a dollar for the items. They do have other dishes and sides on the menu that might be worth a try in case I'm around the area again. They do have only a couple of tables indoors for waiting. But they have a nice covered outdoor patio that's relaxing and just lowkey ambiance.

    THE ORIGINALOriginal

    Original doesn't come with ginger scallion sauce, I wish I had known that when ordering. Garlic soy isn't bad though. Soup however was kinda sour and didn't taste clean or clear like you'd expect. I've been to rooster rice but different locations and had no issues. It's been a few years and thought I'd try it again craving chicken and rice. This will probably be the only time I go to this location. I feel there are better options out there. It is convenient though

    Came again during weekday for a quick lunch. Khao Tom Kai chicken porridge was so good, very flavorful with the soft boiled egg and chicken skin crisps. It was only $5 with purchase of any meal. They also have happy hour 2-5pm weekdays with 25% off the entire menu.

    The Original, thigh meet only, with skin. It was not unappealing and not good.

    Service was good but the food was disappointing. This franchise location is not up to par in quality with the San Francisco location. My chicken was unappealing and was very bland. It's a small quiet place, we were the only customers at this location when we ate there.

    This place had a pop up event in Hawaii and it was super packed we couldnt get to try. So when we were in NorCal, we found out it was located out here. The food was really good, the taste and the sauces were flavorful. The people working there was super nice.

    Definitely had a greater experience this time around! I ordered two originals, one with skin and one without. I do like that you can customize it a bit - for example, no skin, substitute sauce, type of rice, only chicken breast or thigh, etc. Didn't really have any complaints about either one - it was prepared and put together nicely and had a good amount of rice and chicken and I was satisfied! Also, the ginger and scallion sauce is a must for me! I'm glad I remembered to substitute it this time. It comes with a broth which is flavorful and nicely adds to the meal.

    Yum!! Perfect when you're hungry and at the mall. Walk past the notorious lines at Ramen Nagi next door and make your way to Rooster & Rice for a tasty, comforting meal. My go to is the classic #1. It's perfect and simple. The portions are generous and the service is fast and friendly. Ask for their hot sauce.

    I was looking for a place for lunch in Valley Fair and decided to go with Rooster & Rice. I love Khao Mun Gai/Hainan Chicken Rice in general, so I was excited to finally give them a try. I decided to go with The Original and it came with chicken broth on the side. The portions were good and the flavors for the rice were there. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender. This certainly satisfied my cravings for Hainan Chicken Rice. If you're looking for a place to eat and love Khao Mun Gai, check Rooster & Rice out!

    We came to this eatery because it had a short line (almost everything else had a 30 min wait). We ended up getting the Original, Tom Yum Thai fries and the chicken wings. The chicken itself? SO SO GOOD! You won't find dry chicken here! The sauces are pretty good too. My favorite was the pineapple habenero that came with the chicken wings. The Original kinda tasted like Filipino tinola. -2 because if you want extra sauce, that's gonna cost you $2. If you want a water cup, you can, but it's room temp.

    I ordered the Original with just chicken thighs (additional $1), and added extra cucumbers since the option was there. I thought the dish as pretty filling and a good portion for the price. I enjoyed washing down the meal with the chicken brown. I also tried the Cutlet, which is a panko crust chicken thigh. The chicken was pretty crispy, and the portion was good enough. Not amazing, but it's a decent spot to have a quick eat!

    I wanted something high in protein but still clean so of course I thought of Hainan chicken! I usually order from Chicken Meets Rice but I found ROOSTER & Rice on Door Dash so decided to switch it up! I got the original plate with fragrant rice & all breast meat. The chicken was juicy and tender. The sauce it comes with was an explosion of flavor. I like the refreshing cucumbers they add too. I inhaled my plate and was super full. The portion is huge. I have no complaints & I will order again!

    My favorite chicken and rice restaurant!! Even though Rooster & Rice is a chain, they have amazing chicken and rice. Food: I always order the Original (Breast & thigh with skin, fragrant chicken rice, cucumber, cilantro, KMG sauce), but substitute for all breast and no skin. Chicken is never dry and it comes with a chicken broth soup on the side. The sauce is so flavorful, and the meal is filling. I don't feel gross after eating this which is a plus. Service: Service is decent! The line wasn't long when we came, but they have a self-service kiosk to order at. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I have had them disregard my no skin or all breast requests before, but this does not happen every time. Pricing: $ Good price for lots of food. I normally get 2 meals out of it. Ambiance: A lot of seating and not too packed compared to other places in the mall. It is definitely the best food in Valley Fair if you don't want to wait. Tables were clean. Parking: Park in the Winchester parking garage for closest parking! Will definitely be back to this location. :)

    Khao Tom Gai
    Christine L.

    Went here because the neighboring food inside the mall were quite busy. Ordered on an iPad, the food took a little while to come out even though there were only 1-2 other customers. I think this is tastier than I expected. Hat Yai Thai Fried Chicken was good. I wish there were cucumbers or greens of some sort to balance out the heartiness. The Khao Tom Gai soup was pretty salty. Would be good for when youre sick and can't taste much haha! Overall I enjoyed it and thought the pricing was fair for what it is.

    Revisiting our local go to Thai restaurant Jasmine Fine Thai Cuisine after about a year only…read moreconfirmed that it still deserves five stars from us. Thai food is one of my wife's and my favorite meals to enjoy together and with so many great spots in the area having closed over the year we were very happy to return here. I'm glad to say they have not missed a step when it comes to flavor and quality. We ordered our usual dishes. My wife had the fried catfish, I went with the barbecue pork and we shared the roti appetizer. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Portions were generous enough that we had leftovers for the next day and they tasted just as good as when we first ordered them. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I always joke with my wife that coming here feels like a first date because it's such a pleasant sit-down experience, whether for families, groups, or a nice date night. A bonus worth mentioning, their Thai iced tea is excellent and really hits the spot. (stronger than other places) Overall, Jasmine Fine Thai Cuisine remains a great go-to Thai restaurant and did not disappoint at all.

    Delicious Thai food with a comfortable and dog friendly outdoor patio! We went on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and there was no line. We ordered the roti, crispy pork belly, sausage, Laos style papaya salad, and a khao soi to share between 3 people. All of the food was absolutely delicious but we felt like the portions were a little small for the price. The pork belly and sausage were both ~ $23 and didn't come with as many pieces as we thought it would. This was some of the crispiest roti I've ever had! I loved the curry dipping sauce on the side and the nice crunch of the cucumbers. The pork belly was slightly overcooked, a little hard but the flavors were great! The sausage tasted house made, it had a great tang to it and I loved the variety of dipping sauce. We ordered extra spicy/hot for the Laos papaya salad but it was definitely medium. The khao soi was very comforting on a cold day and the broth was rich and creamy. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area!

    I ordered the Pad Thai (seafood) and Pad See Ew (shrimp), and the total came out to about $50…read more Unfortunately, both dishes were pretty underwhelming. Everything tasted just okay, very mediocre overall. The Pad See Ew had a weird bitter aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy. The Pad Thai was also disappointing; the noodles were clumped together and lacked flavor. We didn't finish either dishes. For the price, I expected much better quality and taste. Probably wouldn't come back.

However, I had trouble as the payment would not go through. I tried several cards and had other people tried, to conclude that it was not just me. In the end, I ended up calling them right when they open to place my order. It was quick and ready in about 15 minutes. I got the half half rice combo with basil chicken, chicken eggplant, and added a third item for an extra $1, to which I got the panang nue.

The server was very helpful in answering all my questions about the menu. But the menu has a strange layout, and it felt a bit overwhelming although not authentic; likely because it's being packaged for a non-Asian audience. We got the yellow chicken curry, pad khing with shrimp, and a Thai iced tea with two sides of rice. The curry was sweet and not that spicy. The pad Khing was heavy on the vegetables, which were crisp and plentiful, and came with about 6 shrimp. It wasn't particularly unique. The rice was just the right amount. It's fine for the atmosphere but not someplace I would go again for more authentic food.
