Probably one of the best Hainan Chicken places in town. When Hainan Chicken is the major focus of the menu and nothing else, you know they don't mess around. The rice is cooked to the correct tenderness, aromatics and chicken essence in the rice is on point. The chicken meat itself is cooked with care and the flavor is there. They didn't even take a shortcut on the sauces, these are not from can or bottle. Totally homemade. Finally the accompanying broth, clean and flavorful. You can tell this is made with real chicken, and not doctored with salt & msg. This location is also great as it has seating and allows the other members in your group explore other food cuisines if they are not in the mood for chicken rice. Large parking lot out front. The location of this booth is in the back. You can order ahead online. Service is quick and efficient. read more

Ordered a Hainan Chicken to go today. To be honest, it's not as good as comments. Besides, parking is a big issue. Took me 20 mins in hot temp 92 degress to find a parking spot. A no no for me. read more

The pure sugar cane drink was very good. Reasonably priced at $7.65 for a large. Will come again to try their rice plates. Easy to find, inside the food court. Service was quick and accurate. Casual seating or take out. Tables at the food court. read more

We came here on a Wednesday evening. It was not busy. We were kinda hungry to though to get some dishes and share. First time to order and eat here. Super simple, the cashier took our order, we paid, wait about 10mins and it's ready. As we stated we will share the dishes, she found us in the public seating area and brought the food to us. And she brought bowls and utensils for us as well. This is awesome. I love hainan chicken so this was perfect! Chicken was juicy and the 3 sauces accent it. The chicken wings were seasoned well and not over cooked. Enjoyed how quick and easy it was the moment we decided what we wanted to eat. Everyone had a bit of everything. read more

My boyfriend and I were wandering around Rodeo 39 for lunch and snacking. As we made our loop around to see all of the businesses, Chic Now was one of the spots that caught our eyes. There were a lot of customers waiting and there was a good combo deal. We got the GGG Combo ($18.98) which comes with their best selling Hainan Chicken Rice, a side of the Chicken Broth, and a Sugarcane drink. My boyfriend opted for the lychee sugarcane. It did take a while to prepare, so if you are ordering from multiple spots, I recommend putting this order in first. It's probably because they're busy but at least you know the food is fresh. The Hainan chicken rice here comes with the traditional rice cooked with chicken broth and the 3 dipping sauces. The soy sauce was good, chili sauce didn't have ginger unlike other similar spots, and the ginger sauce was a little salty. The sauces really have a big effect on meals like this, but it was overall decent. The chicken broth was very pure but bland. It could use more seasoning but it might just be their take on how chicken broth should be. Overall we felt like their Hainan chicken is not as good as Savoy, but better than Cluck2Go. As for the sugarcane drink with lychee. It was too too sweet. Even as the ice melted down it was too sweet. My boyfriend said I made a grossed out face when he ordered it... haha... oops. I normally like both of those flavors individually but together I can see them being 2 overly sweet ingredients. Better pairings for the sugarcane drink is definitely the kumquat, but they were out of it, and I also see the calamansi. An acidic or sour flavor would better cut through the natural sweetness of sugarcane. Overall a good value pic among the many options at Rodeo 39. I don't mind sharing it with the boyfriend if he wants to come back. read more

Hainan chicken with coconut water sugar cane is immaculate. Had to make this review as I am eating it currently. The ginger sauce with the chicken really hits the spot while overall being a light dish. The soup along with the combo is so nice when it's hot but inside the facility is cool. Can't explain it, but it hits. Staff is very kind and very punctual. This is inside Rodeo 39 on the right side from the entrance. Plenty of seating to watch the world cup along with AC. read more

Admittedly, this store has an "efficient" menu; and the only item I have ever ordered is the Hainan Chicken & Rice. I tried the chicken fried rice for the first time. As you might imagine, the rice and chicken used is the same as served with the Hainan Chicken & Rice. As a result, the fried rice has a higher moisture content than a lot of fried rice served elsewhere. But the taste is good, and the serving is appropriate for the price. read more

Came on a Friday night & there was no wait at all. Got the Hainan chicken to try & it was delicious! The chicken was so juicy & it came with a side soup. I do wish they had a fried version though like other Hainan places. So, what we did, was order the katsu at shootz. It was a delicious combo! read more

This chain resto surprised me!! Here in the area for business and was craving something light for Dash door delivery to my hotel. And came across this place coz I love Hainanese chicken rice!! The food was so fresh, great portion but definitely still ordered some extra dark meat chicken and extra scallion ginger sauce (this was full of umami). The yellow rice was great and it comes with 3 sauces which one was this sweet soy sauce which was a great balance to the ginger scallion one and u can also pour it on your rice. Highly recommend this place and it won't break your wallet!! read more

This is a strictly take out place in the Rodeo 39 food court but it was a beautiful day and the outdoor seating was very nice (indoor seating was also available). Our food was ready within a few minutes. We ordered Hainan chicken with rice and Stir fried bok choy. We were a little nervous because we cannot specify dark meat vs white meat, maybe we should have asked. We had the choice of with skin and without skin. What came out was a mixture of deboned white and dark and it was all delicious. The rice was also very good. It came with chicken broth, a few slices of cucumber and three sauces. I liked the chili and scallion sauces. If you like a lot of vegetables I recommend the bok choy side order. All in all a nice experience. I have never been to Singapore but my guess is Chic Now is quite authentic to the hawker style of that island. read more

Had the sugar cane coconut water and hainan chicken rice with chicken broth. Loved the sauces! Chicken was well cooked and flavorful. The broth was good on its own. It's a good meal especially when recovering from a cold. Service was very fast and love that it had its own seating. Would go back! read more

Chic Now Hainan Chicken Rice - Hainan Near Me - Stanton, California

Looked like the healthiest choice compared to other food spots at Rodeo39, so I decided to give it a try. Haven't had Hainan chicken in years, which my friend's mom used to make us, so expectations may have been too high. Overall, the price for the Hainan chicken meal (no combo) and quantity of food was reasonable. The chicken was a bit bland, as well as the broth, but the ginger scallion sauce saved the day. So yummy. Rice was good too with decent portions. I'd want this again only if I was sick or trying to eat better, but not sure if I would crave it. Give it a try! I was satisfied overall and enjoyed my meal. read more

This place has the best Hainan chicken in OC. I have tried chicken in Hong Kong & Singapore. I would say both places have better chicken than the one in OC, but their chicken is farm-raised. However, OC chicken is excellent and worth the price. read more

I really love Hainan chicken because of the simple light flavor. Between all the food vendors in Rodeo 39, I opted for Chic Now because I wanted a sugar cane drink and thought their combo would be an excellent value. They were relatively busy but service was fast. I like to try the chicken on its own before dipping in the sauce and found that Chic Now is very mild in flavor. The chicken was perfectly tender, both with and without skin. However, the rice and chicken really needed to be paired with the sauces and broth for the best flavor. The green onion and ginger sauce was really good. I think the soy sauce had a bit of sweetness to it. I didn't try the spicy sweet sauce because it usually tends to be too sweet for me. I opted for the regular sugarcane but sized up for $1 more. It was really sweet but once the ice melted, it was better balanced. read more

Located in Rodeo 39 food hall, it is a must goto to hit the spot for a treat of Hainan chicken rice dish. Get the combo to get the delicious pure sugar cane drink. The broth is always included with the three sauces that makes it stand out. I normally order and eat at Rodeo 39 which has lots of seating. This time I ordered at home for take back to the family. Just be aware that their website automatically includes a tip that you are not aware unless you check the very last screen when checking out. This is very deviant of the owners to automatically charge 10-15% more off your total bill. read more

Edit to add that this is a woman-owned business, which we love to support! One of the newer stalls at Rodeo 39 that offers a classic meal rather than the fusion/modern dishes you see at this food court. My bestie and I were looking for something that we hadn't tried yet at Rodeo 39 and decided to give this food spot a chance. We came around 11:30am on a random weekday so it wasn't busy at all. No wait, but you can order ahead of time with the QR code by the cash register if someone isn't there to immediately help you! Food came out in about 15 minutes. They had minimalistic decor with cute mural artwork of a Hainan chicken meal on the wall by their tables & chairs! What we got: -Hainan Chicken Rice (Signature & Skinless): I love the chicken skin! Comes with the chicken, rice, cucumbers, soup, and three different sauces. My favorite sauce was the ginger scallion sauce (green), followed by the sweet soy sauce. The chili sauce was used for my leftovers! The ginger scallion sauce complemented the chicken and rice very well. However, I will say that my friend and I thought that the rice was less flavorful than we expected given the price point (~$16 including tax). Thankfully the sauce gave the umami that we wanted. We enjoyed our meal otherwise! If I ever find myself back in Rodeo 39, I might get their combo meal to try their sugar cane drink! read more

I was being lazy and couldn't decide what to eat, so I saw this spot on Uber Eats and ordered because they had a deal. Got the bok choy, wings, and Hainan chicken. It came with cucumber and three sauces. Surprisingly, I really liked the rice, and the sauces were solid. The chicken itself was kind of bland, but the sauces made it work. The bok choy was flavorful, and the wings were decent. Turns out this place is inside Rodeo, which shocked me because most spots there don't last or aren't great -- but I actually liked this one. I'd definitely order again, especially if there's a deal and delivery as an option. read more

Glad that the mature Rodeo39 food hall complex is still capable of attracting new business, and a Hainan Chicken spot in this area of Orange County is just the thing for revitalization! Staff is always smiling and welcoming you to try their food which I appreciate. Ambiance is casual. Although the Hainan chicken itself, is mid (disappointing) -- the rice is really done well and the savory ginger sauce really pairs well. Chicken wings are fairly decent for being baked and are super flavorful. Would return here again soon for a quick lunch pickup during those stressful WFH days! read more

Solid option for food at Rodeo 39. It's not the cheapest option - I believe we spent roughly $40 for 2 meals and an appetizer. But the portion sizes were large so we got a few meals out of our order. -0.5 stars for noodles being a tad too salty and oily. But +0.5 stars for their ginger sauce. That stuff slaps. I would come back again just for that. read more

I got the combo and it was a little under $20! I think the chicken was relatively soft and very yummy! the rice was a perfect amount too and very well made. the sauces were also a great touch but the ginger sauce thing was a little lighter than i thought it'd be, still good tho! i upgraded to get the lychee sugarcane and it was not too sweet, very good as well :) read more

I really liked: Lychee Sugarcane Chicken Fried Rice Sautéed Bok Choy I liked: Hainan Chicken Rice Came for the Hainan Chicken #goodeats but found it a little bland. We saved it with sauces but the salt they used in the broth shoulda been used on the chicken. The Bok Choy was super clean and the sugarcane was very refreshing. I know we could make fried rice at home but this was excellent and I don't mind paying for this quality. Service was pretty fast. It took them 10-15 minutes to get us the food. The store is located inside the rodeo 39 outlets so there's plenty of dessert and entertainment options. read more

Delicious simple hainan chicken in a food hall. It's a tad expensive but you get a lot of chicken and rice. It's often enough for another meal for us. The broth that comes with it is a nice touch too. The lady serving us is always very friendly and accommodating. Food hall is fun and very vibey. Lots of parking out there in the lot. read more

Where do I even start? This spot might have the best Hainan chicken in Orange County. I've tried countless of other spots in the area and have yet to find another competitor close to their delivery of flavor and service. Located inside of Rodeo 39 (stage right), this place offers the best combo for Hainan chicken. I DoorDash this dish weekly. If you're looking for a spot that provides incredible and fast service as well as the best tasting Hainan chicken dish, look no further. read more

This has been one of my favorite places at Rodeo 39. Staff are friendly and quality of food is consistently good. I usually order the Hainan Chicken w/ the skin on. It comes with the poached chicken, flavored rice, a side of chicken broth, 3 sauces & slices of cucumber . The scallion sauce is what makes this dish flavorful and is my favorite sauce of the three. I would totally recommend this to anyone that's craving a comfort meal :) read more

Tried the chicken chow mein. Noodles were tasty and not too greasy. Service was quick!

So far this is the best Hainan chicken I've tried in OC. The chicken is tender and juicy. The skin was tender, intact, and not overcooked, but could have had slightly more bite. The rice is flavorful and cooked with great texture. You get sliced cucumbers and 3 sauces. The ginger scallion oil was great as expected, but the other two sauces (sweetened soy sauce, sambal oelek chili paste) were just okay - I've had better at other places. I wasn't a fan of the broth. It was flavorful, but I suspect MSG. Here's my scale/ranking in comparison to other Hainan chicken establishments in LA/SGV: Ipoh Kopitiam - 5 stars Cluck 2 go - 4.75 stars Savoy kitchen - 4.5 stars Chic Now - 4.5 stars read more

Great hainan chicken with good portion size for the price . Loved all the sauces that came with the entree and the staff was super friendly and helpful read more

Solid hainanese chicken that was juicy and not oily. Rice was good but could be more herby. The soup was really good to add and did not taste bland. It costs $16 and the server removed the tip option which was surprising. I would tip her for that. It's on the right side of the market behind the stage. Overall I would come back and get this if I'm in the area again! read more

The portions here are really big for the price point. While the chicken wasn't melt in your mouth like other hainan chicken spots it has really good flavor and the chicken was moist.

I saw this place was new to Rodeo 39 and I just had to try it. I really like Hainan chicken and rice and this spot nailed it. Ordering was simple. I got a combo of Hainan Chicken Rice with the skin on and a sugar cane drink with added lychee for a total of about $20. It's just a small stall here, not much unique decoration, but you can watch as they make the sugar cane juice which was pretty cool. It wasn't too long of a wait and I got my food to go. The chicken was super juicy and the rice was flavorful. I loved the sauces especially the soy sauce based one. I also really liked that they had pickled radish on the side. My sugar cane drink was tasty and not too sweet. When ordering the sugar cane drink they ask what flavor you want and I said lychee. I assumed since they said flavor it was just going to be lychee flavoring that they put in there, but they literally put chopped pieces of lychee in my drink. That was a pleasant surprise! I would definitely come back and maybe try their egg tarts next time too! read more

Ordered online on their website and picked up. Since it was in a food court (of sorts?) theres a bit of seating in front and some more in the bigger public areas. Ordered a qqq combo and two specialties for 3 people. The sugarcane juice came out super fresh. The price with the combo is also pretty good. As for the food, it comes with a soup and 3 sauces. All of the sauces are so good. The chicken is super tender as well. The rice is infused with the chicken flavor. The soup is warm and a bit salty but full of flavor and probably good to make another batch of chicken rice at home. read more

This was my first time trying Hainan chicken rice, and I'm glad I finally tried it. I took so long to try the dish because it didn't look or sound that appealing to me, but many people seemed to enjoy it. At the counter, I received prompt service, and the food came out in just a few minutes. The chicken portion is quite generous. Though the pictures show a standard helping of chicken, there's actually another layer of sliced chicken underneath the top layer. Some parts of the rice were a bit mushy/old, but only a few bites were like that. I came at opening, so maybe they were getting rid of the old rice from the day before. The sauces were flavorful and enhanced the dish for sure. Even though it sounds like others didn't like the sweet chili sauce, I thought it worked well with the chicken. All in all, this is a great protein-packed meal. read more

I'm always all in to support small mom and pop shops. However, the chicken here is not good period. No flavor and the chicken is fatty, frozen chicken from the grocery store. Authentic Hainan Chicken has to be organic chicken, lean, and pouched in a flavorful broth. The meat has to be tender, juicy, and flavorful. The skin should be thin and no fat attached. The skin texture should be Al Dente like pasta. This was far from......sorry On a side note, the sugar cane juice was fresh and on point. read more

Got a Hainam chicken rice here and the portion was pretty big and I also like them to do it right with all the three sauces, spicy, sweet soy sauce and of course the spirit of the dish to me is the ginger and green onion sauce! The chicken was pouched right, juicy, smooth and tender (they also offer no skin chicken option) but I always opt for the one with skin bc I think it's more flavorful! The rice was also flavorful and not too greasy and the soup is light and refreshing! Will come back again! read more
