Picked up lunch during the work week-- if you have the same idea, definitely order ahead. It was so packed and the staff was working hard to get the orders churned out. Not the cutest restaurant but the food is so delicious! Their sauces are really good.

Food is passable, but last time I ordered there, my chicken had no skin on it. It appears that they have taken that and are now selling fried chicken skins for $5. Meal is already almost $20 and taking part of my meal and reselling feels like i just got robbed. Not right.

Top notch chicken and rice, but prices could be lower. As you enter and make your way to the kiosk to order, you're hit with an intense chicken aroma, like the smell of opening a container of chicken stock. The place is pretty clean, could be a little bit cleaner; there was some spilled broth on one of the tables furthest from the counter, so maybe they couldn't see it. You'll place your order on the kiosk, and follow the instructions so you get your order. I ordered the Original, breast only (it normally has thigh and breast, but if I'm paying $16, I don't want the least expensive cut of chicken), (there's also the Marina which has brown rice and breast only) and had to wait about seven minutes to get my order. Someone called my name, and I went to the counter to get my order, which consisted of some cilantro over evenly cut chicken slices spread over rice, with some cucumber on the side and sauce in a container, and a little container of chicken broth. I ate a piece of chicken breast, and it was pretty tender. The rice was slightly wet and had the smell of chicken broth, so I'm guessing they put chicken broth on the rice. I tried a dab of sauce on some of the rice, and it was really really good. I poured the whole container of sauce on the chicken and rice. I took a sip of broth, and it was really really chicken-y. It was bright yellow, so there was probably some turmeric in there. The whole dish was a simple and very delicious combination of flavors, and cost about $16. The portion was enough to be filling. If it's not filling enough, you could order a side like an egg, extra broth, or a cup of rice. Overall, it's a nice place to go for a quick meal. Most of the people there are coming from work and it was pretty quiet, except for ambient music. My only complaint is that the price was pretty high for something that's mostly rice.

Everything looks really good, nice sitting area to enjoy your meal. I ordered The Original... rice is super tasty but the chicken breast is really dry with chalky texture. Very unfortunate... I try to cover up the dryness with the sauce that comes with it but doesn't help much. The broth is super tasty. Service was very good and fast.

Man nothing beats a bowl of broth, chicken, rice, veggies and great tasting sauce. Why is this not a 5 star? I’ve asked for extra cucumbers every damn time and I never get extra cucumbers. Also if you see a pork dish don’t get it.
