One of my recent favorite places— if family is visiting, we’ll head over. If it’s someone’s birthday, I suggest this place. Everything is delicious— favorites include: chicken liver mousse, Hainanese chicken, the pork, salted egg yolk prawns, clam seafood noodles, and curry laksa. The jammy ginger scallion sauce is perfect with everything and the broth is perfectly salted and flavorful. Order the bowl of the chicken rice and enjoy the unlimited tea as well as a refreshing bottle of wine (their wine list is excellent). Expect to wait a while on a Saturday night if you come after a wave, but it’s well worth it. The service is awesome and try to get there on the earlier side just in case a dish runs out at the end of the night. Weeknights can be easier to get a table. Can’t wait to be back again!

I've tried many variants of chicken here. Most, if not all, were flavorful and unique yet simple in their ways.

This place have good food and services. We came here almost the end of their operation hours but despite that we passed the time, the staff didn’t push us to leave to pay the bill immediately.The Hainan chicken over rice is good compared to other in town. The chicken is cooked right.The Milk Tea?is a must! Delicious and smooth.Satay chicken is tasty and mild spicy with the sauce. Great tasteSeafood noodle is spicy and the broth has a strong taste. I wish I can be a little less spicy and I don’t like the spell as much.Will try this place again next time.

One of the better ones. The chicken to the service I would say this is the best.I been here twice with an out of town friend and another with a couple with two babies. It was a lot to deal with. The waitress was so nice to us and food came pretty quickly.The food is delicious. I would try everything but don’t skip the chicken.

This place was okay, it didn't satisfy my Hainan chicken craving. The chicken itself was somewhat underwhelming, it was quite dry and the chicken rice was more on the bland side. On the other hand, it was my first time trying nasi lemak and while I can't compare it to anything else, I found it tasty. It comes with a side of sambal sauce and fried anchovies that were filled with so much flavor.

Came here with my boyfriend on a Monday night around 7:30PM—not too packed.We each ordered the House Hainan Chicken with Chicken Rice, got a plate of Baby Choy Sum to share, and I later ordered Chicken Liver Mousse.We both enjoyed the Hainan Chicken, it was soft and flavorful especially with the sauces. It was interesting seeing the food served in paper packaging and the rice rolled up into balls, definitely distinguished from other Malaysian restaurants appearance-wise. The chicken liver was surprisingly good, I liked it better than I thought.Definitely recommend this place!

First time trying this spot in Sunset park, been wanting to visit. Ordered a Hainanese chicken rice to go, was around $14.50. When I opened it at home, was shocked to see how little food it is in the container, just saw other reviews with dine in pictures, I guess they are all on the smaller portion end. Understand food is getting more expensive but still felt that amount was way on the lesser side.(Can get a roasted chicken over rice for way more food for $10 from a few blocks away)I would go back again to try their other Malaysian dishes since they were praised much in the reviews, and the chicken received tonight were tender.Will update review/stars after next experience.

One peculiarity of Hainanese chicken rice is that the chicken may be the least important part of the dish. Certainly it takes a back seat to the rice, which is usually cooked in chicken stock and lubricated with rendered chicken fat. The rice at Hainan Chicken House tastes of chicken, but doesn’t taste like chicken; it is especially nuanced, fragrant with jasmine, pandan, lemongrass and fried shallots, among other aromatics.
Not authentic Hainanese chicken!!! Not very flavorful, chicken slightly tough.... Overall average!

Second time back, only because I don't live in this area, but it didn't disappoint. Every dish I ordered had a ton of flavor; if I could I would've ordered the entire menu. Ordered tiger beer with my Char Kway Teow and 2 meat with rice combo (Hainan chicken and pork) along with watercress with oyster sauce. It was a decent amount of food, had to take the rest of my Char Kway home. The servers are friendly, but seemed line started forming so they got a bit busy. The place is quaint, could use a few more tables or bar stools for seating.

Went for dinner with my running family. The restaurant is pretty small & cozy. The food is excellent but the service was kinda slow. Overwhelmed with both in house & online orders. So I recommend ordering ahead. The calamansi limeade was the best. I would definitely go again even though it’s super far for me but I will also order ahead.

The amount of money they charge here is just ridiculous for the amount of food you receive. The food is good, nothing outstanding - but the shock of the portion size is what was really disappointing.

The best Hainan chicken I've tasted in NYC so far, seriously go and get this when dining here. This place honestly places more of a 4.5 star for me. It loses points on having pretty average dishes aside from the hainanese chicken, but the hainanese chicken here really is that good. Got the roasted Hainan chicken ( very average), curry, char keow teow, which was all pretty average, but the og Hainan chicken just blew everything else out of the water. Tender, moist, with a nice hit of oil and soy sauce, this spot has been a really nice deviation from the assortment of super dry Hainan chickens you find popping up all over the place. Again the only note worthy item here is the Hainan chicken
