Maxwell Chicken Rice is a small restaurant tucked behind Popeye's fried chicken, adjacent to Auntie Anne's pretzel and Jamba Juice. This place has been open for ten months and specializes in Hainan chicken rice and a Ribs & Rice concept.
The menu features regular and larger-sized portions of Hainan chicken rice, with perfectly sliced boneless chicken sitting on top of ginger-flavored chicken broth rice, served with minced cucumber slices and three sauces - sambal, soy sauce, and ginger sauce. The chicken is clean, with no MSG detected, though some note it is served a little cold. The rice and chili are on point, though some prefer it drier with longer grain. Portions are very generous.
The Ribs & Rice platters include Korean-style beef back ribs, garlic black pepper beef, char siu, and sweet chili pork ribs, all served with rice and salad or pickled cucumbers. The fried chicken also stands out—extremely good, fresh, and juicy, made only after ordering.
Customers can order at a kiosk and eat at the small front patio. The staff is friendly, and food is ready quickly. Many keep coming back for the legit good Hainan chicken rice, Chinese chicken salad, and fried chicken. The food is delicious and satisfying, making it a top choice for chicken rice lovers.
