Never again would i waste my calories here.
Hostess - won't seat me as a single diner while there was someone waiting for takeout at the high table by the bar. Won't seat me at the high table with six stools. No reservations, not a communal place I guess even though it looks hipster casual. Made me wait for the couple at the bar to get their bill. Should have went with my gut and left at that point.
Service - my waitress was fine. Just turned off by the hostess.
Basically I agree with Eric C with the meal.
Chicken - meh. Rice - like Eric C said it wasn't the authentic. Not the rice, not the sauces. My meal felt like it came from the microwave. My meal wasn't even hot. Not even the crispy chicken skin, it was warm at most but one was on the cooler than room temperature. It was just oily and one bite was crunchy. It was just garbage. Soup - like Eric C said, it felt like it was out of a can and they threw in some fried garlic from a box and they didn't even fry it. The whole thing was off.
I've paid for cheap street eats in Asia for good chicken rice. I've also had $$$ chicken rice after Singapore F1 night race at a regular restaurant. This was like Halloween Hainan chicken rice, it looks decent, but it's not a yummy dish at all.
Ballsy for Jackpot to open in Chinatown. Fooled me once! Never aga
