Only gripe was that i couldn't get a dozen red roses anymore. No doggie to greet either.

Great concept, but unfortunately a mediocre execution on flavor and preparation.
Crispy Gai had an oily, slightly crunchy crust; the accompanying chicken schmaltz rice however was fragrant and flavorful. Mala Dan Dan sauce was far from what is advertised. Virtually no numbing sensation, just hoisin sauce mixed with trace amounts of a nut paste and a little chilli spice.

Fast. Casual. Delicious. Singaporean rice. If you’re not familiar—try it. Classic Hainan chicken

I don’t know how this place earned 4.5 star rating but based on our experience maybe a 3 maximum. The location is dingy and doesn’t seem clean. The crispy gai Chichen was decent but not great. The broth tasted like hot water with green onions. The hainsn sauce lacks seasonal - tasted just like oil. The chicken wings were soggy and overwhelmed by fish sauce smell. The cucumbers were bitter. All in all - not a good experience. Sadly this was our last dinner planned in San Fran. We felt like we wasted our night and money in this place.

Not busy. Quick service. Simple menu. Chicken was good tasty and crispy. Sauces are flavorful. Rice was cooked well too.Their food certainly lived up to this restaurants name! (Would've been crazy if not).They have more than just simple chicken and rice on their menu actually so I kinda wanna come back more and try out everything. Yay seemed decently fairly priced too I think.
I love the chicken and rice here, and feel awful because…I hate that during Dine In, it’s so wasteful. Everything is served in the same to go containers, and their recycling and compost were mixed with landfill and the staff did not understand that you can’t recycle full containers or sauce :( (also, why give 3 containers of sauce instead of just putting on a plate or a tiny bowl?)
