Had this during weekdays when there was no crowd, just queue up at the red booth and pay then wait for your number to be called and u collect from the left side. There is no black sauce only chilli. I must say it’s overall very delicious worthy of its name. Chicken is fresh and tender and Achar is not the norm for chicken rice but pairs well with the yellowish rice which is a fragrant variant of chicken rice. The soup is nice and has a hint of pork stomach soup peppery taste, with cabbage. No refill for the soup. Overall good place to eat if u crave chicken rice

Char Siew is so-so. Lotus root peanut soup is pretty good. 白斩鸡 is tender and smooth. Rice is fragrant and tasty. Service is fast even though there is a queue in front of me. Overall is a value for money Chicken Rice but the tables are limited and quite a lot of people visits, so might have to wait a bit for table.

Best chicken rice I've had in Singapore. Quality goes beyond price. Located in small mall, thus very crowded, you need to wait for an available table at peak time.

This chicken rice stall is located in katong shopping plaza, and I feel that people visit this place mainly for the chicken rice. Though it is a stall in a food court, literally everyone was eating only chicken rice and I do wonder how the rest survives. This place always have a long queue. But they have quite a good system with and ordering line and your number will be called out when your chicken rice was ready. So we ordered the streamed chicken rice (individual portion) and we even added gizzard to one of them. You can choose which part of the chicken you would like and it is priced accordingly. The rice was not as tasty as other famous chicken rice places and it was slightly hard and had some undercooked pieces. The chicken was juicy and oily but once again did not quite hit the mark compared to others. What was really good though was the soup and acar/pickled vegetables that came with it. They gave us 2 different soups and the soup was filled with ingredients such as chicken feet, lotus roots and peanuts. The serving size was also very generous. Overall, still a very good chicken rice as shown by the constant queue. I would not go so out of the way and join the queue for this though.

Finally able to try what is deemed as the "Best Chicken Rice in Singapore" by many. Got to the coffeeshop around 12pm on a weekday, place was packed with almost everyone having the chicken rice. Ordered half white chicken and 2 plates of rice, amounting to $24. The rice was one of the most flavourful chicken rice I have had. The chicken was really tender as well, with the aspic being present in some parts of the thigh meat. Soy sauce on the plate of chicken is a bit salty, but pairs well with the rice. Fried garlic bits give the dish a nice crunch and elevation of flavours. Free lotus root soup and cabbage soup came with the set, and the effort put into the soup is evident. Lotus root soup tasted like what people pay to have in soup stalls at the food court, and even came with meat. Cabbage soup did not stand out as much and was a tad bit peppery. Achar was appetising. The chilli had a nice spicy and garlicky kick, pairing nicely with the chicken. The coffeeshop was a bit cramped but it is definitely worth heading down to try this chicken rice.

Saw a youtube vid and had to checkout on my trip to SG. Freaking awesome steamed chicken rice, including some char sieu=$9.90sgd. Not into chicken rice, but this is better than i expected. The pickle dish is pretty good. Really enjoyed the meal!

H. H. C.

Need go early before 11am if u plan on weekend. Expecting long queue Best chicken rice with cabbage soup n lotus soup.Like the deep fried garlic as condiment to the chicken rice.😍

J. W. K. H.

One of the very good chicken rice in SG, definitely worth to come n try . Chicken is tender n juicy, soup is delicious n tastefully cooked. Beware of the queue , hahaha , long queue is normal n enjoy the meal! Yummy

I used to be a regular customer up until 5 years ago before I left Singapore and move back to Europe. Visiting Singapore in September 2024 I was very positively surprised that this chicken rice is still the best in this country! Chicken meat is juicy and full of flavour, rice is cooked perfectly and together with the chilli sauce complements the taste of the dish. Boiled egg, chicken livers and char siew are not a must but for me it’s just a perfect food combo. Complementary soup (peanut for me is much better than the cabbage soup) and salat are the cherry on top of this simple yet amazing meal. Only downside is the waiting time- nearly 40 minutes on Saturday 2pm. The bright side is that they inform you about the waiting time upfront. Bottom line - it is THE BEST CHICKEN RICE IN SINGAPORE! 🥰

Will miss this chicken rice forever. The best one I had during my stay in Singapore and I ate chicken rice at least once a day :)

J. O.

Chicken rice was average, nothing to complain but also nothing hype about it. Honestly, their servings are rather generous- set meal consists of chicken, rice, bowl of soup and a plate of achar (v generous) but for the price point, if you are only focusing on the chicken rice…perhaps you can get a better tasting one out there without the achar/soup. Also, the cashier seems like he is being forced to be there lol 🙂

I. J.

Eatery is located in a food court. I was Initially taken aback by the price because $8 for steamed thigh rice is considered pricey to me. Just to clarify, I did not research, neither do I know about this place beforehand. The crowd is crazy? There were at least 20 orders (mostly more than 1 plate per order) ahead of me at on a Sat at 3PM! After I got my food, I was shocked by how sumptuous the meal was! $8 for not just the steamed thigh rice (not to mention the portion is bigger than typical chicken rice for both meat and rice), but Achar (sweet and mildly-spicy pickled vegetables, as well as soup of the day. In short, my meal was balanced wholesome! If you fancy sweet desserts, you may try the Nona Manis just few stores away!

S. S.

Excellent chicken rice. Chicken is succulent, but the best part is their rice. Fluffy and fragrant, nice ginger flavor. I think their rice is the best part. Soup was quite spicy, lots of white pepper. It was too spicy for my liking. All in all, highly recommend.

B. G.

Probably one of my favorite, and maybe one of the best Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore. For $7.60, you get a plate of fragrant chicken rice, a plate of tender, juicy, steamed or roasted chicken meat with sliced cucumber and sweet/savory soy sauce, a plate of ajar (pineapple, cucumber, onion salad), a bowl of hearty chicken vegetable soup. And not to forget the chilli sauce, black soy sauce and ginger sauce. At $7.60, one may consider it a bit pricey as a typical plate of chicken rice (normally just rice+chicken+small bowl of soup) would cost $4-5. But for me, it is an OK price to pay for a good plate of chicken rice, soup and salad. Definitely way way way way way better than the over rated Tian Tian at Maxwell.

D. M.

Very garlicky and will be great for those who like that full on garlic experience. Chicken and rice both executed on point and the chili was nice and not too vinegary. Dark Soy was very very good. If I go back to eat it again I will ask that the garlic/shallot oil and crumb be left off (personal preference) Quite expensive to be honest and perhaps they could consider having cheaper prices for those who might not want the "complimentary" pineapple achar and soup. Did not have to wait long at all, despite what I've read on other reviews, even though the coffee shop was full of diners mostly having Chicken rice. Coffee shop itself is very rustic and old skool set in a rustic old skool shopping center...but it needs a proper clean imo.

J.

The chicken and achar is da bomb. I prefer the white chicken to the roasted. Chicken feet is also full of collagen and refreshing. Also like that they also have lotus root soup and the achar and soups are all full of ingredients and not just soup water. It's not cheap and what you see in the photos came to $40+ which certainly is expensive for 2 pax. But we were really full to the brim.

This chicken rice place is quite famous among its neighbourhood for sure and is an anchor stall for holding the crowd to this basement B1 coffeeshop at Katong shopping centre! Got to queue for a while and after trying this place for so long, I must say their steamed white chicken is far better than their roast chicken. Half roast chicken, Gizzard, two eggs and two rice cost $29+ (with free soup and Azar given), is of course a bit expensive for hawker dining. But the standard is there so I will still return for sure. I really love that fried garlic covering the chicken as it gives the meal an added punch to the taste. Rice is fragrant and the chili mix is fantastic. Their soup of the day (provided foc) is not those msg soup and we had lotus pork ribs soup that day when we dined in there. Gizzard is awesome too! But yes please order steamed white chicken. I was a bit disappointed when they told me their white chicken is sold out by 6pm ;(

J. T.

I have to agree with some of the negative reviews. The chicken sauce was too sweet, the chilli is too sweet, cabbage soup was okay, black sticky sauce was a tad too sweet & salty, the pickled vegetable or achar is the highlight where the pineapple is sweet, more like a fruit vegetable salad. The chicken liver was too chunky & could be better. It is also too pricey hence at best a 3 ⭐️ Note: strictly cash only. No credit cards or PayNow. The ambience is a 4/10. Chairs & tables are dated and not cleaned. Maybe for other positive reviewers they find it good enough. But sadly not a repeat.

H. D.

If it’s your first time to try chicken rice, I would suggest to eat here. Order the half steam chicken for the full authentic experience. The chicken is full of flavor and sooooo juicy!! The rice is close to perfection! +++++ for the location inside the mall. You can enjoy the chicken rice without sweating too much.

C. L.

Best Chicken rice in Singapore. Went to many places in Singapore but this place takes the cake. Be careful as they close on Mondays. Chicken had great texture and was cooked perfectly with a velvety skin. The star of the show and what most places mess up though is the rice. The rice here is fragrant and you can smell the garlic and chicken fat they cook it wirh. You'd be happy to just eat it by itself. Chicken soup was also not bad as well and not the generic MSG broth that other places did.

A. D.

I were there at 11.01am, the stall opens at 11am. The queue were already long! They have very good system, hence the waiting time is not long. Within 5 mins I received my food. 2 pax they gave the lotus root soup which is very flavourful. The complimentary Achar is very refreshing too. I prefer the steamed chicken than the roasted one as its more juicy and tender. The egg is average. The roast pork is average.

E. K.

Purposely went to try this stall again after Malaysia ban fresh chicken into singapore. Taste the difference. Chicken was dry and tough. Even the glass chicken feet is too chewy compare to before. Well perks is the soup and Azar. But if this stall is like this taste due to import ban, I can fantom others chicken rice store… hope Malaysian unban the export soon. Nov 2023 : Fresh chicken made the difference! Has upgrade back this stall chicken rice. Tender juicy chicken with free acha n chicken bone soup. Glass chicken feet skin is naturally collagens n liver was cook well to the core! Food quality A+ quantity A+

It has been a long time since I visited this shopping centre and the hawker stalls. Ordered 1/4 steamed chicken, bean sprouts with salted fish and the lotus soup and 2 plates of chicken rice. The rice and chicken were really great and tasted delicious. The bean sprouts were crunchy and had a generous amount of salted fish in it. The best that I have tasted to date. The achar and soup were also great. As it was a Sunday, it took about 25 mins to queue up and get the food. It was a worthwhile wait though as the food was great. Definitely worth repeat visits.

D.

We went on a Sunday evening around 6.30pm and shortly after we ordered, the chicken was sold out already. Nice chicken rice that comes with free lotus soup and achar. The rice is not too oily and the chicken is tender and succulent. The achar seems to be freshly made and doesn't taste like the kind with preservatives. The lotus soup is like those you cook at home, which is really nice - not too salty nor oily. The beansprouts costs $5 and came with 4 slices of abalone (which we thought was really an overkill and someone else mentioned in another review that the abalone is fake). We would prefer a $2 plate of normal beansprouts. Skip the overpriced beansprouts is my advice. Total damage $19.20 for a 2 pax meal with rice, soup, achar and the plate of beansprouts. Great thing is they accept credit card payment. Update: went back again to try their roasted chicken and tau kua. Roasted chicken was dry and not as good as the steamed chicken. Tai kua size is big, tasted really moist and good!

I'm thrilled to be back at Katong Mei Wei Boneless Chicken Rice! This time, I have the pleasure of bringing my parents along for the first time in years. Ahhhhh, the memories of this mall! I used to come here all the time for my bowling sessions. This place serves one of Singapore’s BEST CHICKEN RICE, and I can't help but rave about it. The poached chicken is tender and flavourful, perfectly complemented by the fragrant rice. And let's not forget the daily special soup they generously include for free! It's like a warm hug for your taste buds. Oh, and the chicken spare parts like gizzard and boneless chicken feet? SO SHIOK ! ! ! ! But wait, there's more! The folks at Katong Mei Wei are incredibly generous. They serve a great cucumber alongside the dish, adding a refreshing crunch. I remember hearing about their free-flow achar, but I've never had the chance to try it. Honestly, I've never needed any extras because their regular portion is so generous. I always feel happily stuffed after indulging in their scrumptious chicken rice. It's a delightful problem to have! Returning with my parents and enjoying this mouthwatering meal is an absolute treat. *Do note that this is a small coffee shop and limited seats.

J. L.

Probably one of, if not, the best chicken rice I've had for the past 35yrs. Firstly, the achar is not sour but sweet! I'm not a fan of pineapples but this one is really nice n sweet. Our meal came with a huge bowl of soup with vegetables. It was peppery and the cabbage was super soft. Can even find scraps of chicken in there. The rice was yellowish and not too overly flavoured. It was great. The roasted chicken breast were soft, tasty n nice~ the sauce was also great. Overall, it's really awesome 👍🏼

R. K.

Whenever I have a hankering for chicken rice, KMW is my first choice. A well-kept secret in its location, this spot doesn't disappoint. The chicken is succulent and full of taste, and the rice is fragrant and cooked just right. The standout feature here is their Achar; its sour-tangy notes awaken your taste buds and make for an invigorating start to the meal.

M. N.

Best chicken rice in SG. Fight me 😂 I always eat the steamed chicken. If you order side dishes, they'll give lotus root pork ribs soup for free. The cabbage soup is peppery and light, I love this too. Chicken rice is fragrant and not overly oily. The sauce is the bomb. I didn't like it when I had takeaway tho, the rice became soggy because of the sauce. Hope that they will improve the takeaway packaging for extra cost.

M. K. D.

Taste average nothing special to me. But at least better than expensive Li Nanxing's chicken rice.

M. Y.

Packed chicken breast rice for lunch today. 5 stars. Finally got to go there this time. Very friendly staff. Offered us some soup as well. Another 5 stars! Back again for another take away lunch. We got 4 packets of chicken rice and 1 char siew. The stall operator was really nice and pack one peanut soup and one cabbage soup plus some archar. Dropped off the food for my parents and sister to try today and they enjoyed it.

C. C.

The chicken was pretty good — the sauce and fried garlic complemented the (almost) boneless chicken well. The reason for 3* for food is because I found the rice itself very mediocre. It lacked the aroma and tastiness one would expect from chicken rice. It was also mushy in my opinion, would have been better if slightly more al dente or if the rice wasn’t “broken”. Most of the tables there were empty and waiting 1h each for their orders. I believe a 1h wait time for food is quite ridiculous, especially if it’s not due to it taking long to cook. Everything is prepared hence it’s just due to the lack of manpower to speed up the food being served.

S. T.

Chicken rice is delicious with fried garlic bits and soya sauce. Veg was well cooked with slices of imitation abalone. For dine in, soup and ah zhai(preserved veg/pineapple) are free. Avoid peak timing i.e weekend lunch as you may need to wait an hour for your food. Limited table as well. Food are slightly salty. Not sure if there’s msg but felt quite thirsty after consuming the food. Abt $7 for one pax chicken rice.

K. W.

They were famous & popular for their free flow of pickle cucumbers/pineapple/onions & chicken base vegetable soup. Yes, used to be self service & free flow. Now a single person portion is $5.90 as per the photo. Chicken meat is actually so so only like any other chicken rice stall. Soup is very peppery. Love the pickled veg & pineapple though. Forgot to add kidney & liver. Lol 😂

A. N.

Formerly known as Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice, the stall seems to have changed its name to Katong Mei Wei. I came here with my parents on their recommendation. The chicken rice is excellent with free flow achar and rice. The soup is also surrpisingly good! The service is also really quick, I must say. It takes probably around 5-10 min for an order to be ready. For Chinese New Year, they're giving out some really cute red packets too.

J. H.

Delicious as always, and always a satisfying meal especially when you eat as a bigger group as the soups and achar comes with the meal, and are delicious! Although I'm sure they alrdy factored the price inside, since it costs abt $48 for this whole table of food for 5 of us. But still worth it as it really makes for a very complete meal. The staff are courteous too, helping us inform the cleaning auntie to help clear our table after the previous occupants left. The white chicken and roasted chicken are not objectively the bestest in their respective categories, but the white chicken is definitely within the top 10 percentile in my books. The roast chicken is a little more average, but having variety does increase overall enjoyment of the meal. But we did feel like we got disproportionately more breast meat, which was a little disappointing.

D. S.

Quite decent chicken rice at one of the most unlikely locations - basement of one of the oldest shopping centers in Singapore. Amidst a clutter of maid agencies and random shops, this chicken rice stall has come a long way. was shocked at the price but realized there is a good bowl of soup that accompanies the rice and with generous portions of preserved spicy veg - ah zhar. Well worth a try if you are in the vicinity.

A. M. A. I. S.

Initially i thought paying 5 for chicken rice is expensive but you can get free flow achar fresh n lovely chunky. Big portion of chicken rice. Soup. If you are in the katong area. This is a good chicken rice.

C. T.

Update Jun 2023: Chicken rice is still delicious but it’s not served boneless anymore. Also, Ah Char is only given upon request. Cash only. It’s now $7 but still very worth it given the portion of the chicken has also increased, the plates and tray look new. Guess they did a visual update recently, stall also looks a bit more spruced up too. Old review: Not the most fragrant chicken rice I've eaten but it's still decent, very value for money and the soup is awesome - its the kind of soup that your Chinese grandmother/parents will cook and they throw in chicken bones, cabbage, lotus roots, peanuts etc For only SGD 5.50, you get a plate of chicken rice, hearty bowl of home-cooked soup goodness and pickled vegetables (it's not really achar guys)

E. N. (.

Known as the best chicken rice in town! The set meal comes with chicken rice, of cos, their homemade acar and a bowl of soup! Actually the bowl of soup is quite nice! My friends said the acar is delicious too. Crunchy. Didn’t manage to take photos before eating! They also recently opened a new outlet at east village, by the same owner!

M. P.

The wait was super long even at 2:30pm. Like 45 mins. The rice is dry. The white chicken is not tender. But, the soup and sauces are Delicious. The garlic chips sauce on chicken makes this place decent. Had high expectations coming from Food King... but would not come to katong for this.

E. C.

Great food, great ambience. Besides the steam chicken, the sides are very nice and tasty too.

B. C.

Super hidden gem! The taste is the best chicken rice I have tried in SG in 2024. It is rather crowded at noon.

J. K.

One of the best chicken rice I've had! Long queue but definitely worth the wait. Comes with complimentary soup. Love it so much.

Y. Y.

The chicken rice served is worth the hype, and extremely flavourful. Chicken is served deboned, albeit not thoroughly, hence convenient to eat and safe for children. The waiting time for lunch here was found to be about 18 minutes for a meal for two, but the flavours was well worth the wait. Breast meat served was not dried out, and the sauce it sits in augments the flavour. Adding this sauce to the rice makes for a pallet titillating plate of rice, although the sauce may also be too salty for some. Pickled salad, achar, was served free flow, but is sweet, hence may not be to the liking of many people. Soup was served in a large bowl, but only shallow spoons were provided to drink the thin soup with. The soup was also primarily peppery, masking any original chicken flavour that it should be boasting of. Portion was average, but is slightly more expensive than usual at SGD 5 per set. Provided chicken rice chilli is not free available, but scores well for what it is. Overall, this chicken rice place serves good food, recommended for tourists and locals alike. Albeit tucked away in an obscure shopping centre and requires some patience after you place your order.

E. C.

Very affordable chicken rice meal with excellent service. The chicken rice itself is comforting and nice, but what makes the experience memorable is the soup and acar that comes together with the meal, totally complimentary. Service is great as well, they help you arrange your tray so that you can carry it easily to your table. Very considerate and friendly. Was here on a Sunday evening and there was still a healthy queue before they closed at 8pm.

J. Q. C.

Excellent chicken rice. We went early to avoid the queue and although pricey, it was worth the amount we paid. Chicken was tender and juicy, even the breast meat. Ordered a side portion of gizzard which was generous for the amount paid. Everything was above average but the standout performance was from the sauce.

J. C.

Good enough local favorite but it’s not boneless but that’s ok. The unique offering is their soup and acar and their pricing is reasonable and certainly beat those “famous chef’s recommendation” eg Maxwell TienTien chicken rice hands down and anytime! Worth the Q and they have developed a good system for takeouts 👌🏼

L.

Solid chicken rice if you are around the east. Chicken is smooth and flavourful, good hearty soup that comes with any side dish ordered. Overall, I will not drive across the island just to eat this but it definitely tops the list of places that will come to mind when I want to eat chicken rice. :D

G. O.

Old school looking coffeeshop. Plus point is that there is A/C and the ventilation is good, so no food aroma stinking your shirt. Self-service food collection with queue system. Amazing chicken rice.

K. T.

Went for the Katon Mei Wei Chicken Rice. It was a really long wait, but the whole set was delicious. Came with free soup if you ordered enough. It also comes with free fruit dessert.

C. D.

Looking through the internet and found this chicken rice shop. First time here. Am surprised it is located inside quite a rundown shopping centre. Self ordering but the cashier is either having a bad day, with no smile or happiness in his face. Whatever it is, it doesn't give a good first impression. Hopefully they take note of this and improve. Ordered both poached chicken and roasted chicken thigh. Taste wise is ok but not exceptional compared to where I come from. But for the price they are selling, it's worth every cents and more. Free soup and acar too. Totally value for money in these trying times. No wonder they are the darling of locals living around Katong. Their packaging is exceptional first class !!

J.

Generous portion but the rice is a little bit too dry and hard. Roasted and steamed Chicken both well cooked. Very packed during lunch hour.

H.

Hard to find tables , waited some time for food to arrive as so many people buying it. Gave a huge bowl of soup , vege. Value for portion wise. But I think it’s not the best chicken rice in sg

E.

The best chicken rice in Singapore hands down. Wait time was ridiculous at 45 minutes but the chicken rice was generous and delicious, tender and succulent chicken, amazing soups

G. K.

This is really really so so so good. The chicken is soft and tender, the sauce is flavourful with unique topping. The soup is good and pepper’ish kind. And got free azhar. Would 500% return to eat this again. Loved it. Have to wait awhile thou, worth it :)

L. K.

The complimentary add-ons and condiments turned a simple meal into a feast. The star of the meal is still the focus and it met expectations. On the other hand, the rice was a letdown as it lacked the fragrance and smoothness it should have if a higher percentage of chicken fat was used. Regardless, still an enjoyable meal.

R. N.

The stream chicken is tender and juicy as per what a good chicken should be. Rice is fragrant and nice. Char siew and 油菜is so so.

S.

A local, perennial favourite for a sumptuous meal of chicken rice in the East. Chicken is tender and served with a seductively moreish soy-sesame sauce, which is topped by fresh spring onions and fried garlic. Unique to this stall is the complimentary soup (which there is more than one variety, and which comes with ingredients) and the acar which is served on a separate plate. Rice is not the most flavourful, but goes amazing with the soy-sesame sauce, along with the mildly spicy chilli and minced ginger sauces. Additional ingredients (chicken leg, braised tofu): they are not must-haves, but I find myself getting them every time I visit. Springy, cold chicken feet with steaming hot tofu - it is a strange juxtaposition, but one which I still love. 4.4 / 5

S. Y.

Finally managed to come to this famous chicken rice place. Had high expectations after reading so much about them. Frankly a little disappointed , perhaps my expectations were too high. The rice and chilli were fragrant and nice. The chicken was the best as the chicken skin and flesh were soft and tender. Overall a very good chicken rice dish but it was somehow missing some fragrance or taste. Roast pork was very lean but the skin was not crispy. Soup was fantastic

c.

The soup is super salty, and vege as well. The rice lacks the fragrant smell and chicken looks dry. Overall, over rated.

L. M. N.

Good quality and serves big portion of soup(yummy♡) which is my favourite. Not too ex and yet value for money .. avoid lunch time or go earlier. Limited seats and prepare to queue.

J. K.

One of the best chicken rice, portions are generous, with really good soup!

J. T.

Business is brisk. This is one of the most expensive coffeeshop chicken rice stall in Singapore. Nothing exceptional about the chicken or the rice. The good thing is that they provide you with a side dish of pickles.

I. T.

Reached at 2pm, still got a steady stream of people, ordered 1/2 steamed chicken and 2 rice($21). It came with free soup and free achar. Satisfied! Will drop by when I’m there again…

N. &. B.

Chicken is moist and tender. Soup and pickles which comes free as part of every order are perfect complements. Rice is ok only but for $5 it’s a solid 4.5 stars

V. P.

The rice was too dry and no fragrance of chicken. The portion was quite big and costs only $5. The chicken was average I would say, but I like the soup though, it's really nice! 😋 I had been waiting for about an hour to get my food, the queqe and waiting hour were insane!

A.

Best chicken rice i’ve had here (i’m Singaporean). the amount of free sides that come with your order is INSANE, and delicious at that. the chicken is tender and flavorful, the rice is so fragrant and yummy. IT’S GREAT

k. b.

Used to be my family favorite chicken rice stall. Price was more expensive than others which was expected, n though archar is free flow, was disappointed they no longer allow soup refill n the peanut lotus soup was no longer available, only hv the cabbage soup which was still tasty but the unavailable peanut soup was better. In the past, they will give 2 diff soups. Not sure why they stop refilling soup n was definitely not enough to fully enjoy the meal with one bowl. With tis new no refill practice, hv to control drinking t soup, not shiok anymore. ALSO sensed some arrogance with the service like the past but used to overlooked tis as it was really shiok to eat here then, now it is not compelling to eat here often considering the higher than normal price n lesser soups option n no refills. FYI 1/2 ~$22, whole ~$43.... photo was for 2 paxs portion, -$19 plus gst. Left unsatisfied with today meal.

S. S.

One of the best chicken rice in Singapore. Meats r tender, rice is fragrant without being too oily. Their complimentary pickled vegi r fresh n nice. The rice come with a big bowl of tasty soup. Long q during rush hrs.

R. G.

Where chicken is a rare commodity 🤣🤣 in 2022. Seriously good! No pix guys, too hungry and delicious.

T. L. H.

Chicken taste delicious!! Soup and condiments are complimentary and refillable! Everything is super reasonably priced!! Will definitely visit them again again and again!

S.

This is a very good place , with good seats and good food. Came with family and ordered for 3 portion. More than enough and chicken was more tasty and soft compared to outside chicken rice. Over rall , the price matches its taste and it is quite worth it.

N. L.

It's not the authentic Singaporean Hainanese chicken, but it's more similar to Hong Kong's scallion chicken. The white chopped chicken is coated with garlic oil. The taste is stronger than other Hainanese chickens, but overall it is very delicious. But what makes him worse is that he has food and feels weak. In addition, he will give you a soup and some plants.

2023.10.22 Revisited Even though the name of the restaurant has changed twice since the first time I ate there, I was able to enjoy a wonderful chicken rice set and it is still popular, but I think the quality of the rice has changed this time. The color, the texture, the taste. Other than that, I think the taste has remained the same as before. What happened to rice? ! ! ? That's what I thought, minus 1 star. As always, it's full of volume and cash only. ................................................... ...... My Best Chicken Rice in Singapore! A well-known store. But surprisingly many people don't know about it? I don't really want to tell you. It's already popular and crowded. Chicken rice is also available all over Singapore, but I don't know of any place where it's better than here. In most restaurants, even if the chicken is delicious, the soup is disappointing, the sauce is not good enough, the rice is not good, and it is hard to find a chicken rice set that is overall delicious. But this is different. The overall score is ◎💯◎ for the chicken, soup, salad (acha), sauce, everything! The volume is also perfect! It's always crowded, so try to avoid peak hours to secure a seat. Once you have secured a seat, you can enjoy your meal at your leisure. It's a corner of an old food court, so it can't be called clean. We recommend that you make sure you have an empty stomach before you go. Attention ⚠️Cash only. Cards not accepted.

The chicken rice is very ordinary, the lotus root soup tastes like soy sauce, not a stew at all

In my personal opinion, there is no one that has the best Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore. The chicken is very tender, the rice is crispy and not oily, and the tofu is marinated to a very delicious taste. Free soup and side dishes (Azha) are provided. The old cucumber and pork ribs soup is good and the side dishes (Azha) are very good. Appetizing, I love Ah Zha so much

It's quite a large portion even for one person. The amount is not suitable for eating while walking. It takes determination. It has a strong ginger flavor, but is light, moist, and delicious. Personally, I think I like this one better than the famous chicken rice restaurant at Lucky Plaza in Orchard. The sauce is on the table to the left of the reception area, so you can take whatever you like on a small plate. The taste is just a little strong. The soup was also a little salty but delicious. There were many people ordering takeout. Even if you are lined up, the rotation is fast so you won't have to wait long.

A chicken rice shop located in the food court in the semi-basement of the building. It comes with chicken rice, soup, vegetables, and pickled pineapple for $5, making it the best value for money. The taste is good and the soup is a little spicy.

🐔The chicken is super smooth, tender and juicy, very delicious😋More than 2/3 of the seating area here is ordered from this restaurant, but I thought that the boneless chicken means boneless, there are still some bones left to eat🦴

I had the chicken rice here, and while it was good, it wasn't exactly mind-blowing. Be prepared to queue, especially during peak hours. The prices are a bit higher than average, but they do include lotus root chicken feet soup and a-char, which is a nice touch. The steamed chicken was tender and juicy, but the rice was a little on the harder side and lacked the fragrance you'd expect from a great chicken rice. The chili was spot on, not too spicy but with just the right kick. The real highlight was the complimentary soup—it was absolutely delicious and definitely elevated the meal. Overall, I'd be willing to try again, but only if there's no queue.

The roasted chicken that I ordered was very good. Achar was also excellent. However, the rice was very disappointing, as it lacked fragrance. To make matters worse, I don’t understand why their soup is so peppery, which covers any fragrance of its rice, if any. A solid 3-stars but not 4-stars for sure.

$5.90 pax but comes in generous portion of chicken, soup, achar and chilli. I like that they are not stingy in their portions. Like that give 5 big slices of cucumber or the size of the chilli saucer The rice is not as fragrant as others but I think it’s still not bad. Think of it as heartier version The soup comes w like 1/4 cabbage and taste not bad too with some peppery taste. The achar is good. ESP the pineapple. Though it’s sweet. The chilli is the star for me. Very flavourful very nice and has lime sour taste and make it very shiok. As for the chicken which is the main star. I find it abit lacking in sense that it’s not flavourful enough and the meat is slightly dry. Think u can find better elsewhere. Otherwise as whole package, I do recommend to try once as it’s still satisfying as overall package.

$8 as shown in the picture. Two things I like are the soup and the sauce of chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was cold and dry. I requested for ji wei which was not supposed to be dry. The boneless chicken title still gives the chicken with bones as you could see from the roasted chicken in the picture. Wouldn't come back here again.
