Description
Nestled in Queens, this restaurant serves a unique take on Hainan chicken, delivering comfort food with a twist. The menu revolves around the steamed chicken over rice, accompanied by a selection of flavorful sauces and sides. While some diners appreciated the tender chicken and flavorful rice, others found the absence of crispy and roasted options disappointing. The affordability of the dishes, combined with generous portions and a delightful drink selection, including Thai iced tea, adds to its charm. Despite mixed reviews on authenticity and taste, it remains a popular spot for those craving a satisfying meal. Just remember, it’s cash only!.

Solid spot for Thai steamed chicken (which is reminiscent of Hainanese Chicken, except way more sauces). The chicken is tender, the skin is delicious, and the gizzard/liver were decent too (usually not a fan). There were a large assortment of sauces/condiments to go with them, and the side rice/soup were also great. The drinks (tried lemon iced tea, Thai coffee, and coconut juice) were average, good for a hot summer day. All in all, solid spot!
I’ve come here a number of times now and there’s nothing more than I like than their steamed chicken. This place makes the homiest and most delicious steamed chicken but if you love crispy or grilled I definitely recommend trying it. Make sure you get garlic and use their sweet soy sauce. If you like spicy I definitely recommend using their hot sauce and add the chili for extra spicy :
This is probably one of the best places to eat when you’re in Queens! It’s definitely comfort food for me! The dish itself is very simple but it’s very tasty and you customize your own sauce to flavor your chicken. I love the chicken broth and it’s everything in one plate. Plus the it doesn’t break the bank! Also they have nice selection of refreshments. I love their Thai Iced Tea and also their Thai Green tea. This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat. It’s cash only so don’t forget to bring some with you if you’re checking it out.
Super legit authentic hainanese chicken with steamed rice. Very cozy and perfect for a cold day. Definitely get one of their set menus. Not much seating and the service is a bit gruff, but worth a trip nonetheless.
I absolutely loved the steam chicken rice here! It is just so comforting and enjoyable to eat. The chicken is soft and the rice is so tasty! The chili sauce is also definitely on-point! Only thing I wish was for the portion to be larger given the price! Overall, very satisfying!
