Great food but needs to update their menu online. WAY higher to go prices!!! Two soups cost me >$30. Not even on an app, direct from restaurant. Last time I take out from here. Too bad.

Not bad had the chicken set for 2, the beef drunken noodles were good too. Only thing is the beef is chewy

A very bad experience, not to mention the taste is terrible, the service is also poor, and there is a mandatory 18% tip, vomit, I hope it will close down soon! Seven, eight or eight are almost 50, and they are not worth the price at all!

I recently went to Cily's Rice and had quite an unpleasant experience. I was given a stapled paper bag with my food inside, and unfortunately, one of the staples wasn't properly pinned down. As a result, I pierced my finger on it when I grabbed the bag and began to bleed profusely. While the waiter was kind enough to provide me with a band-aid and hydrogen peroxide, I developed a fever two days later and now need to get a tetanus shot.

In retrospect, I'm really disappointed that they opted for stapled paper bags for takeout instead of providing proper bags. It feels like a cost-cutting measure that ended up causing me a lot of trouble. To top it off, they didn't even offer a partial refund or any compensation for the incident.

As for the food, I ordered the chicken curry, and the portion size was very small, especially given the $19 price. It felt about $5 more expensive than it should be. Overall, the experience left much to be desired. I hope they reconsider their packaging practices and pricing to prevent this from happening to others in the future.

The rice was slightly undercooked. The chicken was good but not really a fan of the sauces

First of all, their food is great and I am always happy about consistent quality they maintains. However, times wise it takes forever to get served and do order always. Idk why but maybe they should hire more servers to accomodate people where dinein or takeout.

Every dish I’ve tried at Cily Chicken have been very good and flavorful. My friends and I sometimes split the rice sets or order a few entrees to share family-style. The restaurant’s quirky and creative wall decor adds to the vibe. However, the service is often quite slow, and I usually have to flag down a server to get more water or settle the bill.

Small restaurant. Little bit tiny space between the table but food was great for both taste and portion per dish. The price is also reasonable. Great service. Chicken Rice dish is good and the dipping sauce taste like original style in Thailand even better in my feelings. Others dishes like green curry is mild spicy than original if you try real Thai food before. However I totally recommend this place. I will be back to try another dishes in the future.

Parking: It’s street parking but it’s difficult to find.

I come to Philly Chinatown for this place, every. Time.

The combo chicken plate hits the spot! Reminds me Street food in Thailand. Sometimes you're able to get Hainanese chicken from other SE Asian restaurants but the sauce is not the same. The clear broth is radish is a good accompaniment as well.

Nice service even when you're simply dining solo.

This is one of those places I wish had a food cart all over the city. Their chicken (both fried and steamed) is South East asian comfort food. I have never been disappointed by their offerings. I always order extra sauces for home because I’m too lazy to make it myself and they always hit with leftovers or homemade seafood & meat. The only criticism I have is they put their fresh cucumbers in the takeout platter that steam and get soggy. I prefer my veggies crisp & cold.

The fried chicken was okay. Crispy chicken skin but slightly dry chicken meat. The sauce that it comes with helps. The ginger rice and radish soup pairs well with the chicken. I think I might enjoy the mixed chicken or boiled chicken more. The crab rangoon were very small (4 little pieces with very little filling) and weren't that tasty.
