This is the closest thing to SG Hainan Chicken Rice. Savoy Kitchen's Hainan chicken rice is…read moreseriously 100/10! The chicken is already so good, but their spicy sauce is what keeps me coming back. I've tried Hainan chicken rice at other places, and honestly, no one does that spicy sauce quite like Savoy Kitchen. I could come back just for the sauce! Their menu has other dishes worth trying too, like the creamy mushroom pasta and mushroom pizza, but the chicken rice is definitely the star for me. Parking is mostly street parking in the neighborhood, but it's really not hard to find a spot. They also have a parking lot across the street, so parking isn't a problem at all.

Overall, I would give this place a 3.5/5 purely based on the hainan chicken. This is entirely based…read moreon my preference, I usually prefer a thai/laos/viet hainan chicken. I haven't had the chance to try their other dishes though. Therefor, I will concede on yelp with a 4/5 since it may be preferable for those that like a traditional singaporean hainan chicken. They provide three sauces for variety: dark soy, ginger oil, and ginger-garlic-chili sauce. They're all pretty tame in taste and the chicken itself is cooked nicely. The ratio of skin to meat isn't too much or too little. Inside the restaurant is cozy, and reminds me of the restaurant tycoon mobile games. It's adorable really.

It's not even that small, and the well-lit venue was constantly full-house with another guests coming as some left. Thanks to the attentive service; despite it took awhile to get your orders taken, the foods were ready pretty swiftly. We got their #1 favorite, the Breakfast Plate, serving our choice of eggs, protein, salad, and hash brown. We picked scrambled eggs and medium hanger steak, both of which got us sold to, served in just right texture and very well seasoned. The thick hash brown was pleasingly unique, giving that crispy edge yet soft center. We went extra adding bacon slices and breakfast sausage; both of which worth adding despite being tad pricey.

And unlike most "healthy" food that tastes like cardboard and regret, the flavor here is actually the icing on the cake -- or in this case, the dipping sauce on the rice roll. This gem of a place specializes in Vietnamese cuisine, with their specialty being bánh cuốn -- delicate rice rolls stuffed with wood ear mushrooms and seasoned ground pork. As if that wasn't already enough to win you over, it comes loaded with bean sprouts, fresh veggies, shrimp fritters, and ham, creating a flavor profile so complex it makes you feel cultured just for eating it. I always go straight for the #1 Special and -- because I clearly have no self-restraint -- ask for extra rice sheets. Will it fill me up? Absolutely not. Will I leave deeply satisfied anyway? Every single time. It's the culinary equivalent of a great conversation: you don't know exactly what happened, but you feel better for having experienced it. The fact that this establishment is still standing after all these years is honestly a gift to humanity, and if you haven't been yet, that's a personal failing you should correct immediately.

On the other hand... THIS is definitely worth the drive! This was my second time here, and it was…read morestill just as good as I remembered. We were seated really quickly, and the food came out fast too. We originally planned to go to another Malaysian spot down the road, but the wait was over an hour, and they didn't have the noodles I wanted. I'm honestly so glad we ended up here because we loved it so much that we ordered two noodle dishes to have leftovers. It's definitely a no-frills kind of place, but the food speaks for itself, really good, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely more expensive than your street food in Malaysia but it's the best you can get for CA . One thing I would skip is the cendol. It was much more like a sweet, sugary drink than the shaved-ice-style dessert I was expecting. Would absolutely come back for the food.

Singapore Laksa (6/10) - the curry was rather thin and lacking in flavor but maybe that's because it's intended to be more of a soup. I would've preferred rice on the side instead of rice noodles. Next time I would get the actual curry instead of this, but that is just personal preference Roti (8/10) - probably the best thing we had. It was simple but very delicious, flakey and decadent. The curry sauce was much thicker and paired along well, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor Nasi Campur (7/10) - the first bite was delicious, but gradually became more monotonous after each bite. I think the ratio of fried chicken thigh to the sausage and cha siu was slightly off, adding to the repetitive nature of the dish. Overall, it was still quite good

Largely because of the very poor service by the cashier. He didn't answer any questions, forget about providing recommendations. If you haven't had Hainan chicken before coming here, he certainly is not helping you with your choices. He was curt to the point of being quite rude. Now let's get to the food. We ordered: Fried Hainan chicken and Dark meat Hainan chicken (because I was told there was no white meat that day) The broth is flavorful. The garlic excellent. The chili sauce didn't quite strike the balance of sweet shd spicy it's supposed to have. Both the fried and poached chicken were good. The letdown was the rice. Rice to the Hainan chicken is usually my favorite. It wasn't as chicken broth infused as it should be.

Luyixian is a gem located in the ABC plaza near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. Luyixian serves a variety of soy-based dishes, regional Chinese comfort cuisine, and Zhejiang specialties. Luyixian is mostly known for their braised pork rice and beef noodle soup. The atmosphere there was nice and the staff there were very friendly. Parking can be found either inside the plaza building or underground. I ordered the braised beef rice. The braised beef rice was mouthwatering! It is like a home cooked meal. The braised beef was very tender and juicy. The beef is served with sauteed cabbage, pickled vegetables, hard-boiled egg, and a scoop of rice. The braised beef rice will taste even better when everything on the plate is mixed together. My dish took about 10 minutes to be served, which is quite quick. So far, my first time dining at Luyixian was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this gem to anyone who loves braised pork rice or other Chinese dishes!

They take orders on paper and the bill also came on paper. Now, here's something that really brings back memories -- they way they make their Hainan Chicken -- most places make them with boneless meats (dark or white), which is easy to consume, of course; but this place make them with bones. I recall this was how Hainan chicken was made decades ago when I visited the Chinatown in Singapore. On that trip I learned that Man-Chan is an old city in the Hainan Province in China; and "Man Chan Chicken" is the origin of the worldly popular Hainan Chicken today. So, if you want some old fashion and AUTHENTIC Hainan Chicken, at an old fashion prices, this is the place!!

The food is a mix of Cantonese Hong Kong Cafe style and Hainan. It came out quickly but was very disappointing. The Hainan chicken was tasty but mostly bone, barely any meat. The rice was ok. The french style filet mignon was good but the rice was literally ketchup rice with a little egg, pretty flavorless. And the meat was ok but way to much onion. The coconut "cake" was basic coconut jelly inside a hollowed coconut. Overall this was an extremely overpriced and disappointing meal. Would not return.
