The Hainan chicken hit very close to home. The free range chicken and home made sauces reminded me a lot of my mother's cooking. The chicken was very tender and moist. The ginger and scallion sauce was my favorite, although it could've been a tad bit more gingery in my opinion. We ordered the fried chicken tender and poached Hainan chicken plates with Chinese sausage and broth as sides. The sausage was a bit overcooked and the broth was a bit bland. The rice, however, was very good. It seemed like a mix between white and brown rice. I think it is cooked in chicken broth but you may want to double check with Jenny or Liz on that. Jenny and Liz were super sweet and checked up on us often. Napkins, moist towelettes, and our water cups were always replaced when dirty or empty. We also ordered eight chicken wings, 4 honey sriracha and 4 Thai wings. Both were very tasty and flavorful. They do come out boiling hot so watch your fingertips when you decide to dig right in.
The only downside is that this restaurant does not have a restroom. If you really really need to go, you can go to the restroom at the cigar store a couple stores down (as Jenny recommended). Only downside is that you will come back reeking of smoke. Oh and you'll also be eyed down by the hoard of guys smoking in there if you're only one girl. I did this and I spent the whole time sniffing myself rather than enjoying my meal. Next time, I'll try the restroom at Capriottis.
The portions are smaller than what I'm used to when it comes to Asian food and a bit overpriced. A Hainan chicken plate is $9-$10. The broth is an additional 99cents and a side of Chinese sausage is $1.99. A side of 8 wings is around $9-$10 so it does add up!
