About Special Hainan Chicken (Millbrae)

Special Hainan Chicken in Millbrae offers a casual and cozy dining experience, similar to its larger Cupertino location, with the same menu items. The restaurant is smaller, resulting in tables placed very close together, which can lead to a lack of privacy and audible conversations from neighboring tables. Despite this, the food quality remains high, with several signature dishes standing out. The Chiu Chow Duck and Hainan Chicken are both excellent and highly recommended, known for their authentic taste. The Hainan Chicken comes with a flavorful green ginger sauce and peanuts, often served with a big bowl of noodles, making it a popular choice for many diners. The Brined Tofu is crispy outside and soft inside, best enjoyed immediately to maintain its crunch. A new addition to the menu is Braised Pork Knuckle, which is tender and flavorful, not available at the Cupertino location. Other dishes like noodle soup and dumplings are also well-received, though the Wood Ear Mushroom salad can be disappointing due to its weak flavor. The restaurant maintains reasonable prices, friendly staff, and fast service once seated. While wait times may occur during busy hours, the overall experience is positive, especially for those craving healthy, flavorful Hainan-style chicken and other Asian dishes.

I have tried this restaurant when they first opened and visited few times after that, enjoyed it every time.

We visited again today with our hiking group with someone who knows how to ordered with a group setting, we ordered half Hainan Chicken, half House Special Duck, two bowls of Hainan Steamed Rice, two bowls of Rice Noodles in Chicken Broth and one of their House Special Fried Tofu.

There was five of us in our group and we have left over enough for one more...read full review
Really good food!
