The food is ok. I've had food from their place in Somerville and also had delivery that apparently came from their Boston location, which seems to be there primarily for the purpose of serving delivery orders. I ordered the crispy and the original. Each comes with their daikon soup, three slivers of cucumber, and one sauce. The sauce that comes with the crispy is different than the one that comes with the original. First, the chicken: you don't get very much. "The Original" is very bland, which, as I remember, is pretty consistent with this style when I lived in Taiwan and spent time in Thailand. "The Crispy" has a bit more texture, flavor, and body... because it's coated and fried. The rice: you get a lot. It has a nice, mild ginger flavor. No complaints. Possibly the best part of what they provide. The soup: it's an ~8 ounce (?) serving of chicken stock with a small piece of daikon in it. Not too terrible, but not rich or full of body and flavor. Probably from a box or other container, but not too terrible. The cucumbers: you get three slices and they're warm by the time the meal arrives if you ordered for delivery. That's more of an issue with ordering delivery than anything else. The sauces: this is where the whole thing goes wrong. They are just beyond mediocre. In my opinion, khao mun gai or hainanese chicken (or whatever regional name it has) is the best when it has a good sauce. The sauces that came with these two dishes -- a sweet-sour-spicy for the crispy and a more traditional bean-based sauce for the original -- tasted like something that came out of a bottle. It's priced at $12-$13 a meal. For a version of this meal that is this mediocre, I won't be ordering from this place again.

Nice food and delicious meal. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting. I usually order takeout on Uber eats.

Love that it's conveniently located in the financial district. Chicken and rice is so good and a simple dish for takeout or eat in. Thai ice tea is nice and spicy fried wings!

Lunch of crispy chicken / rice was amazing. Food was quick and had a nice place to sit and enjoy. Is also great place for takeout

Super tasty food for a reasonable price, would recommend if you're in the area!
Have been going here since they opened. I was very excited to have Haianese chicken rice here in Boston, so close to my home. Have only had good experience to date. I go there frequently for dinner and occasionally for lunch. However, yesterday, I ordered on their website for pickup. The order was processed, and my credit card was charged. I walked over to the shop to find it closed, all lights off, and the doors closed. A bright red attachment on the front door from the City of Boston stated "Code Violation." The website still showed that this store was open in the evening. I disputed the charge with the credit card company and called the restaurant the next day. They claimed they could not speak English and didn't understand me and that their restaurant now closes at 4pm. The worker stated she didn't know how to refund a credit card transaction. Really sad that the customer experience has deteriorated so much. Will not return as they have now lost my business.
