Special Hainan Chicken (Millbrae)

This is a nice fast, casual restaurant serving healthy Hainan special chicken. It’s a golden bird served sliced, bone-in on your plate. I made the mistake of expecting Singapore chicken rice, but the people that know this style chicken loved it, as shown by the other diners in the restaurant. The sides were delish: the marinated cucumbers, the peanuts, the soup, the rice, and free bottomless tea. The service was awesome: Fast, friendly, and helpful. The prices are reasonable too!

They know what they’re doing! The Hainan chicken is tender and full of flavor, and I loved that they serve it with an egg roll and peanuts, but it actually works. The Knife Cut Noodles weren’t as spicy as advertised, but they were still tasty. Staff were friendly and quick. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a satisfying, no-fuss meal.

Hands down the best Hainan chicken in the Bay area. If you ask for dark meat option, it will even be more tender, more juicy, and more flavorful (dark meat will be $1 more expensive tho). I tried the duck before as well, but it was too dry for liking. Anw, if you don’t know what to order, just order Hainan chicken dark meat. Whenever I have it, I am reminded again why this is my comfort food. Sooo good!!

The owner is very nice and the vibe is amazing. Staff is very respectful. The food is so delicious and well portion. I love the dumplings and the udon is very tasty. Very affordable. I’m definitely gonna come back. I highly recommend everybody to stop by when they in the area. 😛

First time at this place. Very cozy with cute wallpaper/painting. The owner and workers were amazing!! Come here for food worth your money. The laksa had so much noodles and toppings and tasted amazing.
