About Side Chick

Side Chick is a restaurant located on the second floor of the Arcadia mall, close to Nordstrom and past Din Tai Fung. The restaurant is known for its Hainan Chicken, which is a popular main attraction. Customers have mixed reviews about the overall dining experience.

Some customers found the Chicken Noodle Soup with Crispy Hainan Chicken to be satisfactory, with the chicken being well-cooked and juicy, though the broth and noodles were described as tasting similar to a cheap Chinese diner. The Fried Chicken platter, however, received more negative feedback, with inconsistencies in the cooking, ranging from overfried to undercooked.

The Hainan Rice was highlighted as the best part of the meal, with its good flavoring and tender texture topped with crunchy fried onions. However, the noodle soup was disappointing, as the chicken lacked any notable flavor.

Overall, Side Chick seems to be a mixed bag, with some positive aspects like the Hainan Chicken and Hainan Rice, but also some shortcomings in the execution of other dishes. Customers recommend considering Side Chick as a secondary option, especially if the wait at the nearby Din Tai Fung is too long.
