First time at Dong Nguyen. I can tell this small business has catered the local community for years and is a welcoming favorite amongst customers that return to support them. Their items 1) Hainan chicken 2) Cornish hen with tomato rice 3) beef cube with tomato rice. We opted for two of the beef cube with tomato rice dishes. Each meal came with a veggie broth on the side and a large portion of tomato rice and beef. The beef was on the chewier side but I think was a nice cut. The tomato rice has bits of eggs folded in but was on the wetter side. There was also a salt and lemon on the side as a dipping sauce if wanted an even bolder flavor. Overall, it was filling and a large portion. I can see why it's been around for so many years. Note they are cash only.

I’ve been bringing my family here for over 20 years. No frills but all heart! This family makes real home style Vietnamese Chinese fusion. Highly recommended!

Real Hainan chicken with flavorful rice. One of "old school" hole-in-the-wall business for 30 years. The price is decent too. My parents have been stable patrons for many years. They also have a few traditional Chinese dishes too. Will definitely go back!

It was part of the Hainan chicken with rice crawl. It was good. The side condiment was like Crack. It was the best

$14 cash for their Hainan chicken rice in 2023. it's decently good but it's too pricey for 8pcs (but really 6 due to bones) of chicken atop a huge bed of white rice and a container of sauce and soup.soup was decent but veggies in salty soup.at this price point, there's too many other options I'd go for that are more nutritious or better value.

So so so so so good! It's a hidden gem of the 626 and they deserve more hype. Been going since I was a kid and the food still taste the same so I love the consistency. I highly recommend trying their Hainanese chicken rice and/or their red rice with shaking beef or cornish hen. This spot is definitely a must if you are ever in the area.

Been a long time customer here. Food is delicious and service is great. Best hainan chicken rice plate ever and their pork ribs combo is also great. The sauce that comes with it makes the plate. They also have delicious steak cubes with tomato paste rice. Comes with soup and free iced tea. Only thing a little disappointing lately is their chicken portion seem to have been reduced . Ordering an extra chicken thigh or strip of chicken would cost $3 more which I did but it didn’t look like I got a lot. I get more chicken at Church’s chicken for that price and I get at least 3 pieces of full chicken thighs and legs that I feel will fill me . I don’t see why a steamed or boiled chicken would cost so much more for so much less. Parking is plentiful. Restaurant is small and quaint. Service is friendly and fast. They always offer you extra soup when packing Togo or give you extra sauce.They’ve reopened indoor dining now as of 2/22/2023.
Worst take out ever, caused me to vomit after finishing the hai nan chicken with rice, definitely food poisoning

it was ok. I'd say these days it's no longer a contender for the best Hainan chicken in town

This is the best place for Hai-Nam Chicken; I always get extra sauce! The chicken is always moist. Their paste tomato macaroni is really good; all dishes are authentic. Staff is always friendly.
