    Duck pizza
    Vivian T.

    I had heard great things about this place but unfortunately I thought everything that I ate here was very okay. The hainan chicken and rice was very bland and definitely needed to be dipped/mixed with the sauces provided. The mushroom pasta was watery. The duck pizza gave frozen pizza vibes. Service was quick and it was nice that they gave us bread (same type of bread as the pizza dough though). Casual ambiance with outside seating. Nothing was terrible, I've just had better versions of each dish at other places.

    Savoy Kitchen is probably one of the most well known hole in the wall gems of outskirts LA. It's been around since the early 1980s. My parents have been coming here since their hey days, and I apparently came here with them as a baby. Quality and authenticity of the food here is so good. First of all, we came about 40 minutes before closing. They were about to seat us outside, but then the waiter noticed that we had two babies int he party. He was so nice. As soon as he saw that, he told the restaurant we couldn't sit outside, that we should be inside because it was cold and dark out. He earned major kudos from my mom with that thoughtful gesture. We ordered 2 orders of the hainan chicken with rice, beef curry, fish with cream sauce and pasta, and duck pasta. Everything was amazing. The hainan chicken rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a clear favorite in the group. The beef curry was filled with umami, and the beef was braised so tender. The beef curry was my dad's and my favorite. My husband and daughters enjoyed the duck pasta the most. It had the essence of a spaghetti, which the little girls loved, but the uniqueness of duck which my husband loved. My mom really liked the fish in cream sauce. No fuss or frills, just delicious food and fast service. If I lived nearby, we'd come much more often!

    Made it here before the crowds on Memorial Day. Arrived at ~11:30 am and was seated at the counter which was perfect. We had the classic Hainan Chicken Rice $14.50, dark meat only $2 upcharge and the smoked duck pizza $14.95. The food had good flavor. It is what you expect from Hainan Chicken Rice. My friend commented that barbecue sauce would have gone well with her smoked duck pizza. Service is quick. The staff was busy with indoor and outdoor tables. Indoor seating is limited. There is more outdoor seating. However, the restaurant does a substantial amount of takeout orders. That's the way to go!

    I haven't been here since 2011 and I am glad I came back. It has been such a big change since the last time I tried Hainan chicken dish. There's a lot more seating which is at the patio area compared to back then and definitely a change in decor and interior design. There are more staff who each help with ordering and clean up, we came before the dinner rush and sat inside which can only fit 2-3 per table. We ordered the hainan chicken with rice, creamy fish pasta, and shrimp spring rolls. I loved the spring rolls, crispy and savory a little but if sweet with the sauce. There's Hainan chicken we got dark meat which is $1 extra, looks a lot smaller than expected compared to the rice which was 3/4 the dish. There's best part of the meal was the creamy fish pasta, cheesy and creamy full of mushrooms and fish fillet. I think it was amazing, but not for those lactose intolerant. They had a private restroom available which the key is near the cashier counter and the restroom is located in the back of the building around the alley. Very small bathroom, the size of a closet. Overall, it was great, the place is busy as ever and would like to come back to try their other dishes as well.

    Wow, how long has it been. I used to come here all the time, Unfortunately a few things changed. The amount of chicken is reduced, and it's no more refils on the ice tea. Service is still good, the staff is quick the food comes out really quick. Seating is limited, but it's not as packed as it used to be. We got the classic hainan chicken rice it's very good and tasted the same as 10 years ago. ( Feels like less chicken though) Baked white fish fillet with pasta, this is so creamy and thick. Beware of food coma, I took a nap when I got home.

    A very popular and busy restaurant in the SGV area. It's a cute but small place with minimal indoor seating. Luckily they have decent outdoor seating. It is by far the best Hainan chicken place to this day. The chicken is tender and never dry. Their sauces are A.Mazing, especially the ginger sauce. This time I tried the Roasted Cornish Hen. It was good and well portioned. The Hen wad nicely crispy on the outside. Highly recommend!

    Their specialty is Hainan chicken rice, and that's what everyone needs to order first. Very consistent, the rice is flavorful and meat tender. Great service, too - they come around with sauce refills. We like the escargots as well. They have pizza and pasta plus curry also. Always nice to sit outside on the shady patio since inside is very small. Just park on the street and walk in. A great casual diner!

    Hainan chicken with rice and dark meat

    Savoy Kitchen is a staple of the Alhambra community and has been serving up great food for forever. Located at the corner of Valley and Monterey, there is a parking lot for the restaurant across the street, but there's also ample street parking. Savoy Kitchen is known for 2 things: their Hainan chicken and only taking cash. Fortunately the only thing that has changed, is that they now accept credit card, the Hainan chicken is as great as ever. Soft and tender, with a delicious chicken flavor. They give soy sauce, shredded ginger, and a tangy orange sauce that pair so well with it. They also pile on the rice, which I appreciate. The service is always quick even when it's busy. Our waiter was really nice and checked in on us often. There is seating both inside and outside, but I prefer outside. Overall if you're in Alhambra you should stop by for a meal!

    We've ordered from here many times, but dining in was a bit tough because of the limited space. Service was just okay. My husband and mom ordered the famous Hainan chicken, and I had the seafood baked spaghetti. We also ordered the escargot, which was delicious. Portions felt small across the board. My mom barely ate her Hainan chicken and was given a very small box to take it home. My husband did enjoy his Hainan chicken rice, but my seafood baked spaghetti could've used more pasta. Also worth noting--no refills on the lemon iced tea. Small intimate ambiance like.

    Can never go wrong with this place. I always go with the hainan chicken with rice, dark meat. It's so basic and plain but so comforting at the same time. I love love love the sauces that the hainan chicken comes with. They are so fast with everything. The food, the refills, everything! The best part is, they have the patio where I can take my pup! They have a few indoor tables too :) The only thing we've noticed is that the size of the chicken has decreased. There's less chicken on the plates now. :(

    Hainan Chicken with dark meat (takeout)

    4.5/5 If you love Hainan chicken, you should definitely try this place. My go-to order here is the Hainan chicken with dark meat. For takeout, they don't include much sauce, and unfortunately, there's a $0.50 charge for any extra sauce or ginger. The chicken is tender and juicy, never dry, and the rice is quite good as well. For me, the sauce is what really ties the whole dish together. Hainan chicken isn't meant to be aggressively flavorful. It's more of a comforting, lighter meal that highlights the quality of the chicken and the precision of the cooking technique. The staff are friendly and efficient. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot for individuals or small groups.

    Back again and it's just as tasty! The service is always great and fast. This time we got the beef curry and dark meat dish. I'm a fan of dark meat, it even comes with a wing. The soup is basic and delicious - very flavorful chicken broth. The ice tea was a little sweet for me this time so I opted in to add some water after drinking half. We'll always be returning customers.

    Shrimp roll
    Edbert S.

    Worth the stop if you're in the area for some good hainan chicken! This is located right in the heart Alhambra near other great food spots. They have their own parking lot so nothing to worry about parking. There's not much seating inside so you'll probably have to eat at their patio, which is decorated quite well with green bushes. Their menu is pretty simple for the most part. Definitely order their hainan chicken. The rice was nice and buttery and their hainan chicken was juicy and tender. I would have loved it more if it came with pickled veggies and chicken soup. We also ordered the shrimp rolls for our appetizer and it was fried well, pretty tasty. However, the duck pizza was a miss... the dough was a bit raw and the cheese wasn't melted well. Also, the duck had a weird gamey taste. The service can be a miss but theyre working hard. They can get really busy on the weekends so just be prepared. Fyi... they do take credit card. For bathrooms, you would need to ask for the key inside. At the end, this deserves 4 stars. You can't beat the prices here as well.

For appetizer, we really enjoyed the Chicken Liver Mousse. The house-made seasonal jam is so good (we just had strawberry) and pairs really well with the mousse. For brunch, we got the Grass-fed Hangar Steak Breakfast Plate which is an elevated version of your typical breakfast staples. Amazing flavor and they cook the steak perfectly every time. We also tried one of their seasonal desserts and it is a must-have. I forgot the name, but it was a melon sorbet paired with fresh mangoes, coconut milk, and sago. Super unique and refreshing. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for an upscale restaurant with a casual feel. Service is amazing, especially if you have Kai.

The sesame sauce was so good and nutty and the chili crisp added a nice extra kick. A big portion size so great for sharing too - Breakfast plate - comes with your choice of protein, so we got the grass-fed hanger steak. I love their take on the hash brown - it was hearty and thick with a delightfully crispy exterior - Cornmeal mochi pancake - was so excited to try this one! Loved the mochi texture with the cornmeal flavor, and it was not overly sweet or heavy. Very sharable! Parking: there's a nearby parking structure with free parking as well as an open parking lot directly behind the restaurant

The rice sheets are soft, thin, and delicate, the shrimp tempura has just the right amount of crisp, and the nuoc cham (fish dipping sauce) is perfectly balanced with the right saltiness. Prices are very reasonable compared to other places that charge more for presentation. What really sets this place apart is the heart. I love supporting family businesses, and it makes me so happy to see them still in business, especially during these hard times. The service is always kind and genuine. When they speak Vietnamese and call me "con," it truly feels like being treated like family. It's such a small thing, but it means a lot and feels very different from the usual transactional service elsewhere. There are many banh uot spots in the SGV, but this is the only place my mom & I will come to. PS, They don't list it on the menu, but I've ordered catering from here before and it was also great. Call and ask for the son. He's very helpful and happy to answer any questions.

They take orders on paper and the bill also came on paper. Now, here's something that really brings back memories -- they way they make their Hainan Chicken -- most places make them with boneless meats (dark or white), which is easy to consume, of course; but this place make them with bones. I recall this was how Hainan chicken was made decades ago when I visited the Chinatown in Singapore. On that trip I learned that Man-Chan is an old city in the Hainan Province in China; and "Man Chan Chicken" is the origin of the worldly popular Hainan Chicken today. So, if you want some old fashion and AUTHENTIC Hainan Chicken, at an old fashion prices, this is the place!!

It's a small, family-run business by a sweet dad and daughter. They mentioned business has been really slow and they're struggling, so please support them if you can.

Love the various type of ginger sauces. Pairs well with the chicken and especially the rice. The chicken standalone can go head to head with say Cluck2Go.
