      I've done single plate purchases as well as large party tray bundles.

      Each time, the food has been fantastic. Friendly service, correct orders, no issues and delicious food.

      I've only done pick up so can't comment on dining in. Easy parking and plenty.

      Chicken Meet Rice is a solid spot for a tasty meal, especially if you love chicken. The restaurant has a simple, average decor and the remodeling doesn't stand out, but it's clean and functional. When it comes to service, it's a bit impersonal because you have to order and pay for your food through a self-service system, which means you don't interact much with the staff.

      However, the main highlight is the chicken. Whether you choose steamed, grilled, or fried, the chicken is cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Each option is delicious and worth trying. The self-order and checkout system might take some getting used to, but it's efficient once you get the hang of it.

      Overall, if you're looking for a place with amazing chicken and don't mind a basic setup and minimal human interaction, Chicken Meet Rice is definitely worth a visit. The food quality more than makes up for any shortcomings in service or decor.

      Very impressive business model that's incorporated in this business. Customers order and pay on an iPad, completely no cash on premises. The progress of orders is shown on a screen. Behind the counter are stations with each employee responsible for only one task - either filling in rice or salad then somebody else cutting the chicken then another packing all orders. Orders are efficiently fulfilled.

      The Grilled Chicken I ordered was delicious. Chicken skin tastes of lemongrass flavor with maybe a hint of turmeric. Chicken itself is a bit short of marinade but somehow yummy. I think it's due to the thin slices that incorporates the tastes. Chicken broth is gingery.

      Service is very fast.

      Located in a seemingly sketch strip mall is the clearly place that dedicates itself to the chicken. Hainan Chicken bowl with rice and sides drove me to try it out. The chicken could hauled more seasoning and the ginger scallion sauce needed some flavor kick even with the sharper oil seared scallions taste that was missing. Chicken was soft and a choice of dark or white meat. I added an egg that was ok but again all my socks are still on. The veggies were a big odd. Plus honestly I'd like it all just hotter to excite the taste buds.

      More liked a 3.5 but I'm hoping my next time will be stronger. YMMV. Enjoy.

      I was excited to try Chicken Meets Rice since I've seen so many locations pop-up! Coming on a weekday lunch rush was crazy. There was a long line out the door and we waited a total of 35 min to get our food (lunch order of 10). The servevrs were quick to pack up our order and everyone else's! They accurately packed up all 10 of our orders during lunch rush to include our customized bowls, sauces, and soups. Inside, there was a lot of seating that was open and available, but a majority of people were doing takeout. The chicken had a mild flavor, but was cooked well. The rice had a stronger chicken flavor that went along very well with the traditional ginger scallion oil. I would definitely recommend getting at least one of the ginger scallion oils as a sauce since you can pick two. The chicken broth was light and still good! All together, everything went well and it's definitely a place I would recommend for a quick bite.

      Got the half and half with fried and traditional. Got 3 pieces of chicken nuggets and some scraps. The rice is bland doesn't have much chicken flavor. The sauces are alright.

      This used to be one of my favorite lunch spot but recently every time I've ordered delivery it's been subpar with a much smaller portion of chicken and during my last order, I ordered grilled chicken but ended up getting fried chicken. I double checked the order on the container and it stated grilled but wasn't filled probably.

      It's still a 4 star if you eat-in but I definitely wouldn't order delivery again as I've had very mixed experiences.

      I wish I lived closer, so I could have this for lunch every single day!

      Such a comforting and light meal! They really know how to do Hainan Chicken well. The chicken is lean, yet so juicy and tender. Their rice is perfectly seasoned and compliments the protein super well. The best part is that there are so many amazingly fun dipping sauces to choose from! My personal favorites are the Thai Ginger Soy and Sweet Chili. Every box also comes with a small side of veggies for a touch of greenery.

      I really appreciate how everything is rather customizable. As far as chicken goes, you can choose your preferred cut (dark or white meat) and whether or not you want skin (I'm pro-skinless).

      All-in-all, such a convenient and well-balanced meal that will leave you feeling sated and ready to trek on with your day!

      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 came here once a month and the quality seems to have gone down starting this year.

      The food here is good.

      Excellent customer service as well.
