I ordered the chicken & rice. Horrible, the rice is not fully cooked & the soup is no good & the chicken is just ok. I work around there & I would not go back.

Couldn’t give it five stars fast enough! The guy asked if it was my first time eating there. When o responded yes, he immediately gave me a sample of the chicken and started telling me his favorites. I ordered and when my food was up, he packed extra sauces and gave me tips on how to combine the flavors. It’s SOOD good. Cannot wait to go back!

The taste and quality of the chicken here is quite good; but the pictures they post (on grubhub) are really misleading. The portion of chicken that I actually got was barely a half of what I saw in the picture. I'm not a fan of the roast chicken personally; but the steamed and spicy fried chicken are both good, and the clear soup is a nice touch.

The food is always good, but what makes me keep coming back is the people who work there. They’re just so nice.

Ordered delivery and was excited to try this place because chicken and rice is always a win…however they forgot the soups for every rice bowl order and even forgot an entire steamed dark meat rice bowl order…okay understandable if they are busy during the dinner rush. However, the food I did receive though…another big meh. Rice is flavorless and not cooked. It was starchy and crunchy. Sauce is overly salty…like holy cow it was unpleasant on the tongue. The roasted chicken was alright but maybe a bit dry. Ordered their chicken tenders too thinking it was glazed with ginger and chili sauce. Nope. Just huge chucks of fried chicken breast that had no flavor and was also extremely dry with a side of ginger and chili sauce that was another salt bomb. I would say meh…there are better places that does Thai/Hainanese chicken rice right.

Stumbled upon this place while in NYC. First time trying it and it beat my expectations by miles. Spicy chicken with rice, and spicy seasoned fries. Creative, delicious combination of East and West. Love it!

Never order from their website or sign up for their program. They either won't deliver your food or do it hours later. I had to call 7 times for someone to pick up the phone at the fulton location, got attitude for inquiring about my order, then said I probably placed a pick up order. My order was delivery order. 1 start for lack of decent service and average food.

Ordered the spicy fried chicken. It was very flavourful and had the right amount of heat. Was also pleasantly surprised by the white rice that it came with. Reminded me of the rice that come with hainese chicken. Food was good but small portions of chicken. Would need to order extra chicken next time.

Fast casual thai food! I felt like they skimped on the fried chicken when I ordered, and while I got a lot more chicken breast in my second bowl, it was dry and salty. You are better off going to Chinatown for a heaping serving with cheaper prices.

Awesome spot.1) This place is a fast casual Thai food.2) The spicy fried chicken with rice was excellent. I also got the extra spicy fried chicken for about 5 bucks. 3) I hope they come to Hoboken, NJ. It is the perfect type of restaurant for the area.

This is quickly becoming my go-to takeout in the area - they have a variety of options depending on how light or heavy you're feeling! The online order is super efficient as well.
