| - I came here for the first time on May 6 (a Saturday). Glad I made reservations as it was already full when we arrived. We got a seat in the very back, the music was pretty loud.
We ordered the jackpot chicken ($16) + schmaltzy rice ($6) + Magic Ramen ($15, secret item, must order before 6:30pm).
Ok, so in short:
FOOD - the chicken was great and super tender, but quite honestly the ramen was.... typical ramen. It wasn't anything special.
SERVICE/STAFF - great attention. My water cup was always full. The manager Andrew is awesome and took the time to check up on us at least twice.
PRICE - For the portion rec'd, the price was a bit much. I think I would have been happy (and a returning customer) if the chicken dish was like $12-14, for that size. Plus it sucked that they didn't include rice, since that dish could not be eaten without rice. So they knew that you'd have to order a $6 specialty rice (which was great), but I could have enjoyed it just the same with white rice included with the dish.
Overall, I would recommend this place for the awesome and dedicated service and the food does taste good. However, with that said, it wouldn't be my go-to since Hainanese chicken can be found in almost all Chinese restaurants at a cheaper price. But it was fun! I had a great experience!
