Chow Mien
Stephanie T.

Delicious classic Chinese flare in a small restaurant in a run down strip mall. Place was clean, service attentive and food solid. Half Order Hainan chicken- It was served cold as it usually is with 3 dipping sauces. Good seasoning and taste. Orange chicken- Tasty and not overly battered like other places. Shrimp walnut- The star. The shrimp had a nice snap to it which is usually indicative of freshness. Yum. Deep fried tofu cubes- Came out piping hot. A little on the salty side but still addictive. Seafood Chow Mein- It was ok. I've had better but still good. Would we come back. Yes. Recommend. Yes.

This is possibly the best orange chicken I have ever had. Super authentic and full of flavor. Staff was friendly. Vibe was typical for a plaza style restaurant.

Friendly service, lots of parking. I got the hainan chicken which was delicious! And lemon tea and Thai tea. And cream cheese wontons were all good.

Hole in the wall! We checked out this place after it was highly recommended by the ladies at the hair salon that we go to in the same parking center. When we arrived, the parking area was full, yet there was only one table with two people eating inside. They ordered immediately before us and their food came out extremely promptly while our order seemed to take disproportionately longer. The first thing that stood out to me was that the temperature was quite warm inside the restaurant; it was unfortunate that they didn't run the air conditioner on such a hot summer day. Next, the menus were very dirty and gave me the ick. I felt like I needed to wash my hands immediately after I ordered. We ordered the following: Shrimp fried rice Filet mignon Orange chicken Dumplings Assorted vegetables Total: $94.12

I had no idea that there was a traditional chicken rice store located in the city of Hacienda Heights. I have passed by this plaza hundreds of times when I use to live in La Mirada and cut through by using Colima Road. Never once did I have it until recently a friend wanted to have lunch and decided to pick this place. The parking lot is quiet and everywhere seems quite empty for lunch. This place is small but they were receiving phone orders while we were eating. About four different groups came and also had lunch. The chicken rice is delicious. I love their sauces that they give you. It is nice and this to me is a very traditional Asian style chicken rice. So if you are in the area I would say come give this place a try.

Hainan

Mom n pop shop so patience! Service was excellent under the circumstances. Chinese kitchen for sure. Hainan chicken is a must here but I wouldn't call it best in the SGV. It's different in a good way imo. Tip: no white meat only; it comes mixed as standard but you can request skinless.

Cocoin Kitchen used to be my favorite Hainan chicken restaurant. However, we were disappointed with their Hainan chicken and wonton soup this time. We ordered the following on last Friday: -#10 Hainan Chicken rice $14.99 -#22 wonton soup $16.99 -#11 Hainan steamed chicken (half) $19.99? -chicken flavored rice (one big bowl) $3.5 Their Hainan chicken-flavored rice used to be very tasty and addictive. We were disappointed with their chicken-flavored rice this time because they were not flavorful and too dry. It tasted different than before. Their Hainan Chicken meat used to be more tender and smooth. They gave us less chicken meat from the Hainan steamed chicken (not much chicken meat from the #11 order). The wonton soup also tasted different than before. The broth was so bland and the pork meat inside of the wonton was flavorless. I also found a shrimp shell inside one of the wontons. My daughters used to like their chicken-flavored rice a lot. They kept saying the taste was different than before. Not sure if they changed the chef but it did not taste as good as before.

Menu as of Oct 2025

Garlic chicken - it was okay Orange chicken - tender, flavor wasn't too sweet nor bland. Would order again Chicken fried rice - decent Singapore noodles - good. Would eat again Portions were big. Great for family style.

What a hidden gem! The dish to get here is the Hainan chicken. I came here a few times but always eat my Hainan chicken dish right away and forget to take a picture. Actually all their chicken dishes are delicious because the chicken is so tender and flavorful. It really reminds me of the Hainan chicken in Singapore! I have yet to see someone come eat here and NOT get take out after eating. It is so good that you just wanna share with your loved ones. The service is pretty fast too. It can get hard to flag someone but once you get someone, everything moves quickly and you will eat in no time. Sorry savoy kitchen cannot compare to this place . The chicken here is way better! Whenever I wanna eat Singapore quality Hainan chicken, I come here for sure!

No party tray and no delivery.

Is cash only? Or do you accept CC?

I've been calling all day and no one is answering but it says it's open?

they didn't pick up the phone once so I thought they were closed too but then they picked up my order like 2 weeks ago. They told me that they only open M-W until 3pm and Thur-Sunday until 6pm for pick up. I always like their hainan chicken rice.

Is it closed? No one answers the phone few days already.

Is not closed. .I just went there on Sat 6/9/18

Is this the same hainan chicken king from Rowland heights on valley that closed down a few years ago?

Yes

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.

At first, I was a little skeptical because the inside was quite dark, and the ambiance wasn't really what I preferred. But since I was already there, I decided to give it a try. I ordered a soup-based rice noodle dish that day. It was okay, the texture was more like regular noodles and not quite like the Southeast Asian-style thin rice noodles, I was familiar with. Then last Sunday, with the weather being so hot, I started thinking maybe their dry rice noodle would be a better choice. I looked through the menu, but some of the ingredient combinations were unfamiliar to me, so I decided to play it safe and ordered the crispy pork and beef dry rice noodle. It turned out to be a good choice. The portion was generous, a big bowl that even came with two small quail eggs. And a small bowl of chicken broth on the side. $12.99 When my order was ready, I picked it up and was guided to the sauce bar, where I could customize the flavor myself with hot sauce, soy sauce, chopped green onions, cilantro, and even dry peanuts ... etc. The DIY sauce bar was a fun touch, and the dry rice noodle gave me a completely different experience from my first visit. In the end, I enjoyed my lunch and took some leftovers home.

It was horrendous, all I taste was msg galore. We also ordered thie drinks kumquat with honey and lemon and ice coke was the only thing that was good.
