Overall, a four-star restaurant in the aspects of food, service, and environment.
I'm a huge fan of pork belly buns and hainan chicken rice. I was definitely grateful when chef Su opened up FatChoy five years ago and then followed by Flock and Fowl on Sahara. I think all three locations are all very unique and definitely worth local's attention.
With the newest Flock and Fowl in Ogden under his portfolio, I'm intrigued to see what will be next. Flock and Fowl in downtown has more upscale and trendy vibes compared to the other two business. I was surprised to see how spacious it was compared to Flock and Fowl on Sahara.
The service was decent during our visit. Nothing more or less to notate for.
Onto the food items that we've tried.
1. Son in law "Deviled Eggs" (5/5): not your traditional deviled eggs. They are much better! It was fried along with tamarind sauce and fried shallot. Definitely getting this again.
2. Broccoli and Quinoa Salad (4/5): it was light and fresh. Not the best Quinoa I've had but I enjoyed it with fried tofu.
3. Laksa noodle (3/5): I like lasksa curry a lot. You don't find this dish easily. I was excited to try chef Su's version. It wasn't what I was expected. The sauce for the noodle was great for maybe like dipping type of noodle instead of noodle soup. It was too thick to drink the broth. Also the tofu puffs was soaked in the soup too long that it did not even taste like fried tofu.
4. Hainan Chicken Rice (5/5): I've been to several Hainan chicken places including Savoy and Nong's Khal Man Gao and some other places. Savoy and flock and fowl are still two of my favorites. They each have their own mastery on either sauce, rice or chicken. I'm glad this dish tasted the same as the one in Sahara location. You can taste the quality of their chicken. The only difference between two locations is that in DTLV location, the dish came with two sides and priced higher at $14.99. In Sahara location, you can just get naked Hainan chicken for $9.99 and add on additional sides for $1.99 each. It is essentially the same price but a dollar more than Sahara location. I think it is fairly priced considering the setup compared to Sahara. I also like the sauce even more now compared to when they first opened Sahara location.
5. The cookie (1/5): I wouldn't order it again. It was overly sweet like I'm going to get a cavity after eating that lol. Didn't think dessert would be the focus here anyway. Hopefully they can design a more Asian fusion dessert menu in the future.
In all, I highly suggest all locals to check out this place or the one on Sahara if you are a Hainan Chicken Rice fan. However, if you are one of those eaters who enjoy your free range chicken that runs 10 miles a day in results of tighten and tough breast, this is not the place for you. I enjoy my chicken on the tender side and Flocks and Fowl is perfect for me.
