So Good & Highly Recommended! Excellent Hainan Chicken Rice Dish, and at a bargain price of just under $15! Seriously, where do you find a great deal like this these days!?! Yummy Hainan Chicken is located next to the 99Ranch Market in Dublin. It is a simple restaurant with clean decor, seating is comfortable and not too crowded. Service is very nice, friendly and efficient. As we were pressed for time today, we ordered 2 orders of their Signature Hainan Chicken Over Rice dish and it is SO GOOD!! Tasty chicken using fresh brown chicken, cooked perfectly, served with rice, soup, and all the proper sidings (wood ear, peanut, quail egg, and loaded with the ginger scallion sauce). The chicken is moist and seasoned perfectly... so good!! We will be back again soon to dine in. :) Thank you Yummy Hainan Chicken!!.. Great Job!!

The salt and pepper tofu was fried exceptionally, but lack of flavor. My family and I had to ask for extra salt and pepper, in which the seasoning lacked a lot of the white pepper one would desire when ordering salt and pepper tofu. The mala shredded beef, honeycomb tripe was quite on the dry side, and had to be eaten with other foods to make it more pleasurable. The salt and pepper cap was one of the best dishes I've had. It was extremely strong in flavor, and was really crispy without being very heavy. Their signature Hainan Chicken was moist and flavorful. This is also a must have. Finally, their knife cut noodles with minced meat was also a must have. Minced meat had a lot of flavor and the noodles was nice and bouncy shared it with two other people and it worked out great. Don't expect exceptional service here. It was simply a drop off food and go situation.

Very fast service on a busy day. We were in and out within 30mins including waiting for a table. The food was very good. As expected for the classic Hainan chicken. The servers speak mandarin, cantonese and some English. They take card. And lots of parking in the plaza.

Their chicken is good, but charging $10.50 for a starter with the size a little bigger than an AirPod case or a BMW remote key is a total rip off.

Very authentic hainan chicken dish. The fried chicken is very tasty but a bit salty for my taste.

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Authentic Hainan chicken. Love the broth, never felt any MSG on their food. The signature Hainan chicken rice plate can never go wrong. The soy sauce duck is my absolute favorite too. The fried calamari is a must try. Service is efficient like most other Asian restaurants. Seating and table space are little tight though.

I ordered the fried chicken because my son liked what it looked like in the photo on the menu. Unfortunately, it was not our favorite because it was very salty and we didn't like the breading. We ordered it with 2 sides of rice, and the bowl of rice was delicious. Two of our girls ordered the brisket without tendon. They both really enjoyed the brisket and mushrooms. One of our girls ordered the duck and loved it, too. The server noticed that the dried chicken was not our favorite, and told me to order the Hainan chicken next time.

We went there to try their signature Hainan Chicken because of the raved reviews but it was a big disappointment especially the chicken and the rice. The chicken was extremely chewy and tough and the Hainan chicken rice was dry and tasteless. It's totally not comparable to the Hainan chicken you get in Singapore, not even close. Other than the unique Hainan taste, the Hainan chicken needs to be very tender and the rice needs to be soft and moist full of Hainan aroma and taste. There's nothing authentic about Yummy's signature Hainan Chicken except the color. This place has potential to offer better food but they have a long way to go. They must excel in their signature dish, the Hainan Chicken. To do that they must use better quality chicken and improve on the Hainan rice. Don't waste your time going there now if you are expecting authentic Hainan chicken. (My original review said I recommended Yummy's signature Hainan chicken. That was an error. I do NOT recommend Yummy's signature Hainan chicken dish.)

This is not really hainan chicken as another reviewer already pointed out. The chicken lacks the taste. More importantly, the meat still has pink cooked fat stuck to it from not completely defrosted. This shows the chicken ws not prepared fresh that day or it had been left in the cold for a long time. Lastly, the menu seems like a copycat from another similar place which serves a lot better hainan chicken.
I had high hopes for this new restaurant that had relocated closer to Dublin because I love Hainan Chicken. I am sorry to say that it is definitely not the best tasting I've had. In fact, I thought that the stewed beef and tendons dish was pretty good, and I would go back for that. The braised pork knuckles were good except that there was too much unplucked hair left on the skin, which made it unappetizing.

My first time here for to go order. I had the Signature Hainan Chicken over rice combo. Everything was delicious, from the tender chicken, the rice, the pickled veggies, and even the crunchy peanuts. Will be back again for sure!Parking: Plenty of parking spots

Sooo yummy ! The chicken is sooo good with the ginger/green onion side. The food is flavorful and yummy. The only downside was the rice. It was a risotto, not all the way cooked. First time I've seen it in a Chinese restaurant...but the chicken oil made it yummy still so all good.Would definitely go back and try the noodle next time. And hopefully the rice is cooked throughout next time as well.

Who went in a hainan chicken place and ordered a laksa noodle? Me lol. It was a cold windy day, and soup sounded good. The dish was recommended to me by the friendly cashier. I decided to give it a try.The laksa isn't what I'm used to (I usually eat Singaporean style laksa). There seems to be a lot more spices and oil in this version. There's a variety of toppings like quail egg, pork, fish balls, tofu, etc along with the fish cake noodles. Tbh, the flavor threw me off a bit and took me a few spoons to get used to. Not bad but I wouldn't get it again. I do appreciate their thoughtful packaging for takeout. I will come back for the hainan chicken/other dishes and update my review. 3 stars for now based off the laksa alone!
