just so good - 1. Fresh Soy Milk was delicious, 10. Fresh Spring Rolls were huge and flavorful with the best peanut sauce, 2. Braised Duck Leg Noodles were a perfect noodle dish with fall off the bone duck and springy egg noodles. big fan!

Consistently bland flavor with bad value. Hainan Chicken Rice is either extremely overpriced or a rip off. Dont opt for the $4 extra chicken either as its literally 4 small pieces. 3. Shredded Chicken Noodles is bland and the broth is watered down. 7. Spicy Wontons (10) are old and theres no veggies or shrimp. Overpriced and not worth it.

The Hainan Chicken Rice was a disappointment. Mostly white meat. I ordered extra chicken for an additional $4, and they gave me 2 extra small pieces of ripped chicken. Rice was good, but everything else (chicken) was only OK. I really wanted to like this spot.

The Hainan Chicken Rice is delicious and the 2. Vietnamese Coffee tastes authentic. However, Idid order $4 extra meat for the chicken Hainan Chicken Rice but there is only 4-5 small pieces of extra chicken, so it is kinda expensive for just 4-5 pieces.

Really delicious, super soothing. I'd definitely order this again. I got the 9. Beef Stew Noodles which have a nice tomato tangy base, and the 10. Fresh Spring Rolls which came with a nice peanut butter sauce. Good sized portions!
