Very important: Notice they have changed their location to 3829 Southeast Division Street, just behind Tom's. Make sure that you don't park at Tom's parking spot; they will tow you and put nasty stickers on your car.lol The good thing about Hawker station: What they have not changed is the love that they put into their dishes and you can taste it in every bite. I went over to get their Hamburger Week special from last year that they had on for just three days on their menu again. It is a delicious burger, Angus beef with crispy fried onion rings and a Hong Kong-style pepper sauce. Just every bite so delicious that it doesn't even need any cheese! Go and say hello to your new neighbors and or just drive from the other end of town to show them some love. Moving is always such a headache we all know that but for a food cart it literally about surviving so let's make sure hawkers station does that. read more

If you like chicken rice bowl, this is the place to get a nice serving with well cooked chicken that's tender. The owner is always friendly and nice, and they have a variety of versions. I would say their hainan chicken is probably the best, because you get the simple clean taste of the well cooked chicken that's tender. They even take out most of the bone so makes it easier to eat. The rice is really well seasoned and it's served with broth and two types of dipping sauce (one kind of a soy sauce and another seemed like nuoc nam). The shoyu chicken is also good if you're wanting more savoriness. Because I'm from Hawaii, I was interested in the teriyaki chicken, but I felt the teriyaki sauce was a bit on the wet side, and not as much a glaze like the way I usually find it in Hawaii. It's also the only chicken bowl that has a decent amount of veggies since it comes on a bed of undressed slaw on top of rice. There's also a braised pork belly rice bowl that is tasty and tender, but also very brown (meaning no real veggies on the side). Like I said, I think chicken is the way to go because they really treat the chicken well. read more

It was a pop up at Meet Fresh and so I was finally able to try as I heard good things about it! I ordered their Hainan chicken bowl for $16. There was a lot of chicken and rice. The rice was seasoned and on top there were lots of the green onion and ginger sauce. There were also 2 other sauces too, one was spicy chili and the other was soy sauce. The chicken was nice and tender but they shouldn't have poured the green onion and ginger sauce on top for customers because it was TOO SALTY! And it made a pretty big puddle of oil between and at the bottom of the rice bowl. read more

OMG - I was not hungry, having just had lunch. My sister really wanted to try the Hainan Chicken so we stopped by. She couldn't decide between the Hainan Chicken and Rice or the Braised Pork Belly, so she got both and I said I would help her. It's the least I could do BEST HAINAN CHICKEN and Rice loves up to the hype! So tender and the ginger scallion is what makes this dish. The Braised Pork Belly was also tender and delicious. I'm sensitive to salt so I had to limit eating this. If you can only choose one, go for the Hainan Chicken! It was raining lightly so I appreciated that each of the food carts were covered and much of the seating areas were also covered. The food was ready pretty quickly. There's something quintessentially Portland about sitting outside in this rainy weather and the steam rising from your dishes as you open each meal. read more

Hawker Station has a limited menu, but it's the things they specialize in. Their top selling and most popular dish is Hainan Chicken Rice. Chicken is very soft and juicy. Portion size is standard. Comes with a few sauces (I'm just guessing on these): a ginger sauce with spring onion, some plum sauce, and some kind of medium level hot sauce. Overall it's a good dish - runs $15 I also tried their fried chicken skin. This dish was just ok for me. It was seasoned with salt and pepper but somewhat inconsistently. Some parts were salty some were more peppery. I would prefer that they used more flavors to season the fried skin. read more

Excellent food cart in a really cute pod! The chicken and rice was very yummy, and I also tried the pork belly and the smashed cucumber. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice had just the right amount of flavor. I would prefer the cucumbers peeled because the skins were very thick but that's the only improvement I could name. The service was also friendly and quick. read more

Chicken winner, chicken dinner! Hawker Station is a food cart located in Lil America on Stark St serving Hong Kong and Singapore style chicken and rice dishes. We got the chicken and rice and it was delicious! The rice was fragrant from the chicken and the chicken was tender and juicy. The skin on the chicken added an extra fattiness, great for chicken skin lovers! The scallion and ginger sauce was fresh and aromatic, truly what Hainese chicken and rice are all about. We got a braised pork belly to go, and although I didn't get to try it, it looked good! They are generous with portion sizes and don't skimp out on the meat. Andy, the owner, runs specials frequently that he updates on Instagram. He definitely keeps things fresh and exciting at his food cart. With summer around the corner, it is food cart and patio season! Put Hawker Station on your summer food list, and you won't be disappointed! read more

Went there with family on 8/2, Friday. First time at the Hawker Station. We met the owner Andy. Pretty easy-going guy. Was very friendly and kind. We ordered 4 items, Hainan Chicken, Soy Sauce Chicken, braised Pork Belly and their Chicken Wings with fries. Andy also gave us free Lemon Ice Tea. That's was so cool. The food was outstanding. It was savory and fresh. I would definitely go back again. I think my fav is between the Braised Pork Belly and the Hainan Chicken. read more

The best Hainan chicken in town. You cannot find this anywhere else in Portland. The chicken is juicy and aromatic. The rice is cooked to perfection with the chicken infused flavor. My only complaint is that it is hard to park in this area. read more

Hainan chicken rice & soy sauce chicken rice. Hainan rice - Very good! Preferred it over the soy sauce chicken rice. Very light and flavorful, seasoned rice, tender & succulent chicken, lots of scallion oil. Soy sauce chicken rice - was too salty for my liking. Seasoned rice as well with lots of scallion oil. read more

Full disclosure, I know the owner. That being said, I visited for lunch on NYE and ordered the braised pork belly w/ a soft boiled soy sauce egg. The meat portion was great and the dish was enough for two meals for me. Friendly service, easy parking and nice outdoor covered seating. BIPOC owned and this food cart pod, Lil America will have all BIPOC and LGBTQIA owned carts. Great spot in inner SE to check out. read more

Their soy sauce chicken is next level. Wonderful balance of flavors. Also super friendly worker!

Best Hainan Chicken in PDX and I've been to the other ones too . Singaporean Style and the Soy Sauce Chicken is just as good

From all the chicken rice I've had in Portland, this is definitely my favorite. The chicken is juicy, and perfectly cooked. The broth from the cooked chicken is used to cook the rice, giving the rice more flavor. You are given a generous amount of chicken too. It's topped with some ginger scallion oil and a side of two sauces, sweet soy and a chili sauce. They also added in some cooked broccoli for some veggies on the side. During the weekends they have specials too, when I visited here they were serving cubed beef with red rice. Definitely tasted like shaking beef, it was really delicious. Beef was tender and rice was flavorful. They also service other dishes like soy sauce chicken rice, shredded chicken rice and wings. Overall, I really recommend the chicken rice they have and will come back again! read more

I like to come here for the Hainan chicken rice. It seems to be the only place in Portland that does this recipe well with the correct sauce and chicken oil rice. I've ate Hainan chicken all over Asia and at Savoy in LA...so I can't say this is at the top of my list, but for Portland, it's good. I had their Hong Kong milk tea, and it was way too watery and didn't have the right flavor with the tea nor milk. For $4+ a drink, I think the owner(s) should know this for improvement. read more

Super great people and food is yummy! I would recommend this place! I got the last order of the Chicken and Rice night and got a little extra food. Was very pleased. Finding a parking spot was difficult, but it was worth the circling around. read more

Definitely one of my favorite food stands in Portland, the Hainan chicken just hits the spot when I'm craving it. Chicken is always cooked so well, love the skin on it, and the rice is so flavorful, with great sauces. My only minor complaint is that the ginger in the ginger scallion sauce is often stringy/older, but I am still going back and am so grateful to have a Hainan chicken place in Portland. Keep it up!! read more

I love this whole area. This was such an amazing place to have lunch. It's so well diverse and I appreciate and support it. I brought my son here for some 1:1 time. The service was friendly. The orange chicken is dry. The flavor was okay but the main thing it needed was more sauce. I think trying other things on their menu would have been such a hit. I am going to keep trying this place because I can see it's worth it. I still recommend it. read more

This is what locals called food carts. A collection of stationary food truck parked together and tables setup between them. Famous at Hawker Station PDX is Hainan Chicken Rice. This is a dish from Singapore. Basically breast meat with a ginger green onion sauce. Parked next is a beer only RV. Quite a nice dinner. read more

Excellent Hainan chicken! And the chicken rice is the guest star! We had the fried chicken as well, and it is some strong competition to other favorites! The chef was kind and had great vibe energy that made the whole experience even more pleasant. Loved it so much we ordered thru Uber a couple days later. New favorite lunch or dinner option, highly recommend! read more

Was really looking forward to trying the chicken dish with scallion oil. Positives first: rice was really flavorful, scallion oil was delicious and I enjoyed the hot sauce. Negative: my chicken was cold! I am a person that likes my food really hot or at least all the same temperature. Eating hot rice with cold boiled chicken was not the ticket. I cannot say I enjoyed this dish to the fullest and did not feel the comfort food sensation because of how cold the chicken was. read more

The folks at Hawker Station are so kind, and the food is PHENOMENAL! Y'all gotta try their special for Sandwich Week '25--it's a highlight!

Makan! Makan! so good. Chicken rice is excellent. Andy's ginger scallion sauce is what makes it the real deal. You could easily split one order between two people, especially if you get some sides like the fried chicken skin and pork spring rolls. My only regret is choosing a crappy parking spot with a short time limit and not being able to spend more time to try the whole menu and chat more with Andy. If you only kinda sorta speak Cantonese, practice a little before you show up, Andy will ambush you with some Cantonese if he finds out your family is from HK. read more

Just coming back in here to say that the food from Hawker Station is consistently excellent. If you have the opportunity to get their special - I recommend you just go for it. Recently had the Thai Basil Chicken special and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. Their steak + spicy eggplant sauce is EXCELLENT. And my go-to when there isn't a special is the first item on the menu - the chicken and rice with the ginger soy sauce. I go out of my way sometimes just to get the chicken and rice, only to find that I've been sidetracked by the current special. This is one of my top places to eat in Portland. I would also like to say that I was paid nothing to shower praise on Hawker; in fact, I have paid my own money to keep eating their delicious foods. read more

Easy to find spot and easy to find parking. Food was amazing. The red sauce has a kick to it. Hainan chicken - chicken was juicy and rice was very flavourful. Chicken skins are super crunchy. Plenty of seating place outside but it was kinda cold so the brewery next door lets you bring in food. read more

Hawker Station PDX - Hainan Chicken Rice and Fried Chicken Skin Dish - Hainan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Update: Met the actual owner today and I stand corrected, it's Chinese owned but the lady working the first time I came is Vietnamese (Not that it matters though because she knows how to prep the chicken just as good). That leads me to my next point, consistency. I got the Hainan Chicken again and it was spot on tender, tasty, & same fat portion of chicken and rice. I love how both times, I got a little crunchy cartilage but never any shards of bone to pick out of my mouth. Seriously, if you like chicken, you ought to give this cart a try. No regrets. Holy cow, I know it's only a matter of time before this place really blows up which makes me a little hesitant to write about this review because it's so good, I want to keep it a secret lol. Despite offering Hainanese style chicken, the owner is actually Vietnamese but don't let that dissuade you from the authenticity of this chicken dish. This is literally the best Hainan chicken I've had outside of Asia and in Portland aside from making it myself. Like you know about that one boiled chicken place that blew up after Pok Pok? Yeah I'm talking about Nong's Khao Meng Gai which I dare say doesn't even compare to Hawker's which is 10x more tender, juicy, fatty, twice more chicken offered, cheaper, comes steamy hot, and costs less. Some places get watered down after blowing up and going high volume so I certainly hope that won't happen here. For now, this is my number one go-to for Hainan chicken & without going into further detail, you'll just have to come give it a try to understand why read more

Simple but delicious chicken rice! The portion is good; meat is moist and tender; owner is very nice. We've tried Hainan chicken rice and soy chicken rice, and both are very good! I wish the rice had more chicken-infused flavors, but very excited to find a gem that does chicken rice right in Portland! Pro tip: call ahead as food truck hours can vary (may close early if business is slower than usual). We loved that when we called, the owner waited for us for 30 mins when she was planning on close earlier. read more

Love this place! After ordering on the apps from them multiple times, I finally had the chance to get it in person. Such great comfort food with the Hainan chicken rice, my go-to when I want a taste of my childhood. Cooked perfectly, flavorful and the sauces are awesome. The new location is easy to get to with plenty of street parking. Thanks for being there! read more

Other reviewers wrote similar excellent experiences at Hawker. I went on a weekday about 5:30pm, the choices I wanted were still available (sometimes Hawker do sell out). I ordered the Hainan Chicken Rice $15 and Braised Pork Belly Rice $16. Both were well prepared and excellent. I say this because he wasn't the owner or at least other reviewers said the owner is Asian, but my server was not and all was done right. I particularly appreciate the chicken was boneless. The braised pork belly rice is the best in the Portland Vancouver area, there isn't a place that serves it nicely braised, tender, tasty, and not too fatty. You can search for braised pork belly in Yelp and you won't find too many photos of it, and won't find it in the online menu, guess it is not a frequently ordered dish. Highly recommend Hawker Station PDX, best boneless Hainan Chicken Rice and superior Braised Pork Belly Rice, can't beat the price either. read more

Worst customer service ever . The food is not good enough for this kind of rude service .

What once was under a different name, has returned with a new name and renewed sense of awesomeness. Hawker Station is by far one of my favorite Asian street food carts in Portland. Myself and my partner have had everything on the menu at least once and nothing has been disappointing. I know that sounds farfetched but it's not. The food here is imbued with passion and authenticity and it shows in the flavors and aesthetics. I personally recommend the Shredded Chicken Rice and the Soy Sauce Chicken. The Shredded Chicken is my new favorite due to it being packed with flavor. Andy, the chef and owner, strikes the perfect balance between handmade and professional finesse. You feel like your best friend is making you the best food, and that's a difficult thing to accomplish. Not only that, his level of charisma really sets the tone for the whole experience. I highly recommend visiting this cart next chance you get and giving any of the menu items a try. It will be worth it. read more

I was really excited to check this place out given the craze around it. I got the pork belly over rice and truffle fries. Overall, both were just okay...the pork belly was dry, which made it hard to finish. I'd probably go back but to try something else. read more

The best Hainanese chicken rice you can find in Portland. This is what I grew up eating in Malaysia. The rice is perfectly cooked and flavorful you can just eat it by itself. The chicken is tender and the hot sauce is on point. I prefer their hot sauce over Nong's but that's just me not accustomed to the Thai style hot sauce. read more
