I'm a huge Rooster and Rice fan, and I get their food frequently at other locations in SF.
BUT this specific one at 1 Stanyan St is not good. The chicken quality is noticeably worse than the other locations. Even the way they cut it is bad. And they seem to give less of it as well.
If you work there, and you're reading this, just get the same order from this location and the 125 Kearny St location, you will immediately see the difference.

The folks working here are always kind. Just wish whoever owns this franchise would have cash in their till for people who want to pay and tip in cash.

Ok food, noticed small bones and chicken not cut all the way.
Compared to other locations, this restaurant is one of the smallest of this chain. They have four seats and a bathroom. The broth is flavorful but pretty salty. The rice has the same flavor as the broth. The poached chicken doesn't have a strong flavor but it comes with a delicious sauce.
I noticed small bones in the chicken. If my order had been served to a small child, it would've been a choking hazard since at first glance, it appears to be boneless chicken. The slices of chicken weren't cut all the way, so it made eating a little bit of a hassle. If the people at this location took more care with their chicken, they would've gotten more stars from me.

The staff is rude and dismissive. Make sure you get your receipt because they add tip to their order. The food is good but not worth the experience.

Food is just as good as any Rooster and Rice, they are super fast and the staff is friendly. We love coming here and picking up lunch on the way to Golden Gate Park.

Their broth is amazing! I come here for that and a healthy meal. A little expensive and it is a bit plain but it's healthy and honestly sometimes you just need your protein so you need chicken. The people that work there are sweet. Parking can be tough but sometimes you get lucky.

Worst service ever. Seems like person at counter went out of his way to make sure customers never return. Awful place. Will drive out to stonestown to get a plate next time

First thing I noticed was how bad the place smelled. I almost turned around walked out. Service was fine, nothing special, but I didn’t experience rude staff like other reviews. Food was meh. The pieces of chicken I got were basically tiny and the bad parts of a rotisserie chicken. You’re paying almost $19 for boiled chicken, white rice, 1/2 a cucumber, and 2oz of sauce that goes on top. Sauce was good, but honestly I’ll skip this place and save my money next time.

For Roster and Rice - Stanyan location.I had bad experiences here.First time, when I paid the to-go order with no tip, the staff showed some bad reactions/attitudes. I thought I was a little sensitive, so I gave it a second try.On the second try, I ordered a few to-go orders of the Original without tip again to see if I got the same treatment, but got all skinless options.Now I'm not surprised why this location is rated lower than the other locations. Never want to try it again.If to-go order is expected to be paid with tip for a good treatment, it then becomes an obligation to have tip for to-go order for good treatment???
