Literally it's in the name, just get a chicken and rice plate I needed to use my class pass credits or else they were going to go away and be wasted, so I found this place on there and decided to order the marina and the original! The marina 7.5/10- they use brown rice I believe and chicken and cucumbers with their brown sauce (and I got scallion sauce on the side) this tasted so healthy, I felt pretty good eating it. Although the chicken is lacking in flavor, once you dip in the brown sauce and scallion sauce, it tastes a lot better! love that it also comes with chicken soup The original 9/10- ok this is more like hainan chicken rice. The chicken rice was so flavorful and it was glistening! This rice paired so well with the chicken and I drenched my chicken in the scallion sauce Definitely a clean plate if that is something you are looking for! read more

Foremost, every time I visit this location I've received great customer service. The staff greet you and seem very friendly. The place is clean and has outdoor seating. The chairs are colorful so it feels vibrant. I ordered The Original and Popcorn chicken for pickup. The Original had a few dry bits, but I dipped it in the ginger sauce so gave it so much more flavor, so of the two I think the popcorn chicken was my favorite. There's a hint of lime flavor with the popcorn chicken, something that was new to me. A side of lime aioli is included as well for dipping. Highly recommend visiting this place. read more

Instead of trying a Rooster and Rice close to my office in the OC, I decided to try one almost 400 miles away near my hotel in Santa Clara. Like others have said, the chicken is kind and bland, and a little dry. The ginger scallion sauce was good and was a good condiment for the chicken. The portion was pretty good sized. It's a good place if your hotel is close by. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. :) read more

Yum! It's no Portland's Nong's Khao Man Gai, but it will do to satisfy the craving when you are in the Bay Area. I always order the classic #1, and it's good. Comes with a little cup of broth that is flavorful and adds a nice side to the chicken and rice. The sauce that comes with it is tasty too--I like to dip the chicken and cucumber in it and mix a little into the rice. I've tried other chicken & rice places in the Bay Area, but this is the closest I've found to Nong's in Portland. read more

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. read more

I really love rooster and rice but for some reason, every time I ask for no skin or any sort of modifications, it seems to be ignored or taken very lightly. This time I asked for no skin for one order and both our orders came with skin. We also asked for extra cilantro but the amount looks the same in both. This is probably the 5th time this has happened and not just for this location but all their other ones. Also not sure why the sauces are different. One is the soybean sauce that it usually comes with and the other one is the traditional ginger oil sauce. I love the food but just disappointed with the service and lack of quality with prepping it to our customizations. read more

I love ginger scallion Hainanese chicken! So when I stumbled upon this casual chicken restaurant inside the mall, I had to try it. I ordered two minis to share with kids for a light bite. It was a hit, especially the chicken soup. A mini comes with a smaller portion of chicken with chicken infused rice, cucumbers, and some signature sauce. The cost is about $10. The chicken is boneless, juicy and soft. The sauce is delicious and goes well when you mix it with the rice too. On any cold day, I'd love to order a large broth to drink. It's delicious! read more

Chicken and rice is one of my go-to comfort meals. The closer location to me, in north SJ closed awhile ago so I rarely make it here anymore. Since my hubby was at the mall, I asked him to pick me up some lunch from here. For $15, the Original (#1) comes with dark and white meat, some chicken skin, over the chicken rice and some slices of cucumbers. Also there's a soy ginger sauce. I usually don't like or need the sauce with Hainan or KMG chicken. But this sauce was pretty tasty and I've had a knack for all things ginger right now. Oh and a cup of chicken broth. The portion size was just right for me. I finished it up real quick and was fully satisfied and not too full. The chicken was boneless and tasty and tender and flavorful. I ate the white meat first, as I prefer the dark meat. There was a bit of tendon and cartilage on the chicken meat, which doesn't bother me, but FYI, if you're turned off by that. The rice is also super yummy. I need to learn how to make chicken broth rice. Haha. And the cucumbers add a fresh and crunchy texture to the whole meal. The chicken broth is slightly oily but goes well with the whole meal. Overall a very satisfying meal. read more

3.5 stars I was always a big fan of rooster & rice (so much so, that I probably got it TOO much when I first discovered it). There are definitely differences between when I first ate it to this last time, despite being different locations. I noticed the sauce, while still being quite delicious, is definitely thinner than before (on the verge of being watered down). The fact that it is still addictively delicious says alot about the sauce. The chicken is still tender and flavorful, but the rice seems to be soggier than before. ALL THAT BEING SAID, I'd still happily come back to any rooster and rice location...but it seems like they are focusing on maximizing how far their ingredients last. read more

I ordered mixed of chicken breast and thigh, thigh was tender and good but breast was too dry. The sauce was tasty with ginger & garlic soy flavor. Chicken rice was what I liked the best from this place, but again portion is small. You order using tablet and it's all self service. Came on weekday lunch so had plenty of seating too.

Located in the Valley Fair mall, next to Ramen Nagi and all the other new food places that recently popped up. I was thinking to get some ramen but the line was too long :) I ordered the #1 with chicken thigh upgrade ($1 extra). Food came out pretty quickly, and it was good. The sauce was delicious, chicken was prepared well, and reasonable portion size. I wish they have an option to order without skin (like Chicken Meets Rice does), but it's just minor inconvenience. With the number of food offerings available in the mall now, it's hard to say if I would come back. Definitely a solid option though! read more

One of my favorite go-to places for lunch. I get The Original which comes with the breast/thigh chicken with fragrant Jasmine rice, with a side of some ginger peanut mix sauce and chicken broth. The sauce definitely amplifies the taste of everything, which is what I enjoy the most about it. For $15, you get a nutritious meal that keeps you full almost all day. There is limited seating here as it's more of a takeout place in the mall, but can seat about 3 groups of people and some single seating as well. Today, the chicken was extra good - a nice balance of juicy and tender. The reason I give 4 stars is due to the inconsistency of the chicken, sometimes it can be extra dry while other times are like today where it's perfectly cooked. If you want something quick that will fill you up, I recommend giving this place a try! read more

The KMG Sauce is so good! Definitely get the thigh meat, you already know the breast will be pretty dry. If you're trying to get gains, the chicken rice and the side of broth will help moisten the breat meat. Overall, the portions are pretty decent and I loved the flavor in the rice surprisingly!

The pork itself was okay it was a bit overcooked :o The thai tea was alright i've had better and it was a bit warm. The vegetable pad thai was perfect. Noodles were chewy and very saucy. I would definitely come back to get this and add a bit more spice as well.

Their pad Thai is genuinely one of the best I've had. It's packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and you can choose your spice level, which is a nice touch. The garlic chicken is my absolute favorite dish here..incredibly savory and aromatic..even better when paired with jasmine rice. I'm usually not a big curry person..but their yellow curry changed my mind. It's flavorful without being overwhelmingly "curry-heavy," so even I can enjoy it. Dusita's consistently delivers great Thai food. The first time we dined in, we didn't have to wait, but my boyfriend says it can get busy with longer waits at peak times. We've since done a lot of pickup orders, and those usually take 30-40 minutes. Highly recommend if you're craving solid, flavorful Thai in the area!

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.

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!

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.

Nice and convenient Thai place to order for to go. I tried ordering directly through them online…read moresince they had the lunch combo box, which was not on Door Dash or Uber Eats. 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. Meanwhile my friends got an order of the tom yum soup and two pad thais, both which they liked. I liked the combo more since I got a variety of things for almost the same price, if not cheaper than their items. Overall, it was quick and easy. Parking was easy too. Came into the store to pick up and was in and out less than a few minutes.

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.
