Stumbled upon this hole in the wall spot for a quick bite. I was amazed by how they can make simple chicken and rice taste so good. Definitely a place that deserves more recognition. The chicken, rice and soup just hits the spot and is a good comfort food. Would come back to try other items.
Honestly felt like a hole-in-the-wall shop since I walked right by it and missed it. Chicken was really flavorful and tender! I loved that it was so soft. The guy working there was really kind when he was serving me. Loved the atmosphere - it's smaller and there's only a couple seats, but I liked the coziness of the place.
Delicious Thai chicken spot for easy lunch or dinner. The broth included is delicious. Love the seasoned rice as well. I love the convenient location on Haight too. Perfect addition to the neighborhood.
I was stuck home recovering from COVID-19 just before Christmas. About three days in I was ready for some simple nutritious hot food. My wife went down to the H St. location and brought me back a delicious simple, white meat, chicken with rice and a lovely light broth. I've walked by this place several times and wanted to try it. The place itself is just a simple small restaurant. Will lit with a few seats and tables. My wife let me know that the service was friendly fast and efficient. Looking forward to trying it again. Seems like it would pair well with a roll from dragon eats down the street.
$18 for chicken over rice is not cheap; but you do get a decently hefty portion. The chicken wasn't too dry and the rice is flavorful, but the soup broth was a bit too salty. It's a small storefront, and they have a little bit a bar seating. It hit the spot for a craving but don't know if I'd come back again given the price point.
The chicken here is incredible. Authentic Taiwanese soul food. The soy paste sauce is the perfect blend of garlic and spice. I basically inhaled this meal. The chicken broth soup was the perfect side. The actual location is a bit small so seating might be difficult, and it's better for takeout. Great to stop by for a quick bite in the Haight. Highly recommend!
