I was feeling under the weather and decided to turn to one of my favorite dishes when I was feeling sick while living in LA. I found Nong's Khao Man Gai by searching "Hainanese Chicken near me" and decided to give it a shot. This Hainanese chicken and rice doesn't come close to Cluck2Go in Pasadena and is sadly lacking in flavor. If you eat this chicken by itself, without the sauce, it tastes like flavorless boiled chicken, which is pretty shocking and not how this dish should be at all. I am surprised by how highly praised this restaurant is. Well, I challenge anyone here to try Cluck2Go next time you are in LA and you will see how the dish should taste (and for less $$). I really don't see myself coming back here.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to!

I ordered the chicken soup and also the white rice dish with tofu and broccoli. When I think about the food at this place it seems strange that it is so popular...the food has almost no flavor. The chicken tastes like chicken in the sense that it is very obvious that you are eating a chicken, there is no disguise in terms of the flavor. The food feels super clean and well prepared. I would eat here again if I need to eat something that is definitely good for the stomach.

Where has this place been all my life! It has a little ghetto but in a good way. Amazing (authentic) Thai-Chinese cuisine! You have to get their soup! So comfy! Best chili oil in Portland! Dry and fresh chilis! Great price for what you get!

Very good, but you have to eat it correctly to combine the flavors
It’s a Portland staple. I bring a lot of out of state friends here, and they literally always ask to come back.

I wanted to love this place for years to come, but I've had bad experiences more than once.Today was the last time I'd visit this place after finding a thick, black hair with the white protein bulb still attached to the tip. It was in the center of my food. The previous time before this, I had a stomach bug after eating here. And the time before I got a stomach bug from the food, there was a cockroach walking in the dining area.I respect the founder of the restaurant & her vision, but the restaurant is not sanitary at all.It is also right next to an alleyway filled with dumpsters, which you can smell from outside the restaurant & the doors that lead to the alleyway from inside the restaurant are usually left open, with dumpsters right outside of the doors.
