The Hainan chicken rice was ridiculously good. My best meal of 2024 so far. So glad to discover this spot! Can't recommend it enough.

I've had food here multiple times and I have to say that it is delicious. I love the specials and I love the signature dish (the chicken with a ginger scallion sauce). The beef special with the spicy sauce really rang my bell!. My only suggestion for improvement would to get slightly different cuts of meat so that the people eating aren't chewing on gristle. Still 5 stars; delicious flavors, amazing employees, LOVE this place!

The curry brisket is definitely awesome. Better than what I eat in HK.

I like to come here for the Hainan chicken rice. It seems to be the only place in Portland that does this recipe well with the correct sauce and chicken oil rice. I've ate Hainan chicken all over Asia and at Savoy in LA...so I can't say this is at the top of my list, but for Portland, it's good. I had their Hong Kong milk tea, and it was way too watery and didn't have the right flavor with the tea nor milk. For $4+ a drink, I think the owner(s) should know this for improvement.

Was really looking forward to trying the chicken dish with scallion oil. Positives first: rice was really flavorful, scallion oil was delicious and I enjoyed the hot sauce. Negative: my chicken was cold! I am a person that likes my food really hot or at least all the same temperature. Eating hot rice with cold boiled chicken was not the ticket. I cannot say I enjoyed this dish to the fullest and did not feel the comfort food sensation because of how cold the chicken was.

Don't want to be a debby downer, but I don't feel like this is a five star spot quite yet. Got the shredded chicken. Chicken was served cold and tendon-y with warm rice. House sauce was light and slightly salty sweet, but not particularly flavorful. Truffle oil was just a hint, Cheering for this cart, but was a bit disappointed to spend $18 for a lunch including tip at this spot. Maybe I just had bad luck with the cuts?

Makan! Makan! so good. Chicken rice is excellent. Andy's ginger scallion sauce is what makes it the real deal. You could easily split one order between two people, especially if you get some sides like the fried chicken skin and pork spring rolls. My only regret is choosing a crappy parking spot with a short time limit and not being able to spend more time to try the whole menu and chat more with Andy. If you only kinda sorta speak Cantonese, practice a little before you show up, Andy will ambush you with some Cantonese if he finds out your family is from HK.
Great cantonese food! Reminded me of home ❤️. The chicken and rice (hainanese chicken) was extremely perfect! Chicken was tender and juicy, rice was super flavorful.

Hawker Station has a limited menu, but it's the things they specialize in.Their top selling and most popular dish is Hainan Chicken Rice.Chicken is very soft and juicy. Portion size is standard.Comes with a few sauces (I'm just guessing on these): a ginger sauce with spring onion, some plum sauce, and some kind of medium level hot sauce.Overall it's a good dish - runs $15I also tried their fried chicken skin. This dish was just ok for me. It was seasoned with salt and pepper but somewhat inconsistently. Some parts were salty some were more peppery. I would prefer that they used more flavors to season the fried skin.

So yummy! Stopped by on my way to class and picked up a chicken and rice and Hong Kong hot milk tea. 10/10. I want to go back and try everything! I might just do that!

I was really excited to check this place out given the craze around it. I got the pork belly over rice and truffle fries. Overall, both were just okay...the pork belly was dry, which made it hard to finish. I'd probably go back but to try something else.
