Solid place for lunch if you work in the area. The kiosk makes it very easy to order and you're able to customize how you want your chicken prepared as well as what base and sauce you would like. I got the dark meat w skin on with a half and half rice and veggie base. The flavors came together really well and the chicken was so soft and tender. It also came with a small cup of broth. The portion was slightly smaller than I would have liked but filling nevertheless. This place has a lot of seating and the service was very quick despite it being the lunch rush hour.

Delicious and chill! I got food poisoning a couple of weeks ago and the hot soup and veggie / protein really cleared my palette. They have a cute post it note activity in the store and water too so you can sit and chat if you'd like, other than that the food is so crisp and yummy-- had a great time.

I got a split bowl of tofu and fried chicken. I also got half brown rice and half cabbage as my base.
As for the flavor, I really liked the sauces that came with it. I believe I got a teriyaki sauce and a garlic soy sauce. Both were very good with both proteins. The taste of both of the proteins was very flavorful and savory. The brown rice was also cooked just how I like it. Not over or undercooked. Not wet as well!
The cost was on the higher end for what's basically a bowl of rice and chicken. Still very good though!

Good quality food for price, used to be a lot better. I've been coming to this shop since they opened their first location in Santa Clara back in 2018. We can definitely see the impact of inflation and a growing franchise on this shop with raised prices. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but the quality just isn't what it used to be either. I usually order and half katsu, half hainese chicken bowl with chicken rice. It's a good healthy meal for those that are health conscious. Service is a 5/5, servers are always delighted to help you out. The location is suboptimal, but good choice for takeout.

There are people in your life who are truly a blessing...people who help you heal, people who help you love, and people who help you confront what you had been avoiding. I've met one of those people in my life as of late and am truly grateful despite not being able to control the final outcome or every step of the way. The process is what we often forget to enjoy, but it's what makes life as precious as it is. It's about enjoying every bite of this thing called life.
And I enjoyed every bite of the grilled chicken that I got. I opted for the brown rice base and chose the Thai Ginger Soy and Teriyaki sauces for my sides. I liked how tender the chicken was, and the seasoning for the chicken was spot on. There was a pretty burnt piece that I set to the side, but otherwise the chicken was good. The brown rice was cooked perfectly. I did wish they had more veggies than a few slices of cucumber and a few shreds of carrots. Sauces were delicious.
The interior is pretty bright and clean. However, this food spot is located in a pretty hidden and somewhat old looking plaza.

Solid take out, tables a bit dirty, but food comes out quickly. hainan chicken is great, I like their ginger scallion oil and Singaporean chili sauce. My friend's panko fried chicken was luke warm though. Fried stuff should be piping hot. Other than that, an easy meal option as chicken and rice is always good.

The grilled chicken was very good. My partner got the tofu and that was also very savory. Definitely will go here when I'm hungry but want to eat clean.

Food was 10/10!
It was my first time trying this place and I gotta say, very good first impression! Both of the grilled and fried chicken were not dry at all. The chicken rice was nice and flavorful and the pickled carrots were not strong of a vinegar taste. For the sauces, I had the Thai Ginger Soy and the Ginger Scallion Oil. I prefer the oil more because the scallions had a nice hint of salt.
I didn't really get to experience the service because I ordered for pick up, but we were welcomed when we arrived!

I've ordered from Chicken Meets Rice multiple times before, and every experience has been a delight! This time, I decided to try their chicken box with grilled chicken, Hainan chicken dark meat (without skin), and fried chicken. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
The grilled chicken was, as always, incredibly flavorful and juicy. It's like they're using some kind of secret Indian spice blend that just makes my taste buds do the happy dance.
But the real MVP (most valuable player) is the chicken broth. Oh, the broth! I've had it multiple times before, and it never fails to impress. It's like a warm hug in a bowl, made fresh just for me. I could drink it by the gallon! I know some people might think, "Broth? Really? That's the best part?" But trust me, this broth is special. It's like liquid gold, infused with all the goodness of the chicken and a hint of magic. For sauces, I highly recommend the scallion oil and ginger. Both are delicious!
Needless to say, I'll be back for more. I've already ordered multiple times, and I'll keep coming back for that broth and those delicious chicken options. If you haven't tried Chicken Meets Rice yet, what are you waiting for? Give them a go and taste the magic for yourself!

I placed an order for pick up and despite the lunch rush, my food came out on time and service was attentive. I ordered the classic poached chicken and it did not disappoint. I'd come back here if I needed a nutritious, affordable, and tasty lunch in a pinch.

Came here on my lunch break and I have to say this place surprised me with a rush of flavor and taste! Such an amazing staff, everyone had such a positive attitude when I walked in!
What I ordered:
Hainese chicken and fried chicken combo (5/5):
Not sure what to order? Stuck between hainese chicken and fried chicken? Well your prayers have been answered because they offer their special combo deal where you could get both! Make sure you get this with their chicken rice and scallion sauce because this is what hits home! The steamed chicken was season perfectly, you can also customize your chicken if you want skin or no skin which is nice for some folks who prefer it off. It also comes with a savory and delicious broth too. It also comes with cilantro and cucumber so you have a balance of veggies with your meal. One suggestion is that for $17 I was hoping for more fried chicken but overall an amazing meal.
I think in terms of flavor wise, I prefer this over rooster and rice any day. Unlike them, they don't have the option for grilled chicken and the choices of adding other vegetable substitutions. Will definitely be coming back soon!
