Taishi Hainan Chicken

Seriously... Chicken & Rice. I can't believe how simple this place is but also how delicious it is. I've been coming here for over a year now and I can't seem to get enough. I always get the same order every time whether I dine in or take out which is the Hainan Chicken Rice with a Taro Milk Tea w/BoBa. I can say this dish is such a great portion for one. A cup size of their garlic rice, lots of chicken with cucumbers & cilantro, also two of their house sauces on the side. The two sauces on the side are very flavorful, one is the House spicy Giga sauce & the other Sesame Soy. I will say the spicy Giga is not that spicy... coming from someone who doesn't do spicy anything. The service is always great and extremely fast. I don't think I have ever waited more than 15min for my order. The restaurant is very demur, has lovely eye catching paintings and decor. Taisha is located on 4th street off a busy street but there is plenty of street parking out front and around the block in the residential. If you're in the Long Beach area and looking for a good lunch or dinner...stop by. Enjoy!

Good food in a nice setting with affordable prices. It’s why this chain is one of the best in the game. Also very cool to see their success with a unique approach to chicken and rice. 5 stars

Awesome spot for hainan chicken. Got the original and fried, both were amazing. Staff was also incredibly kind and friendly, we'll be coming back here regularly!

Perfect Hainan Chicken, they really nail all the elements. I drove two hours to try this place and I'm glad I did. The fried dumplings were nicely fried and seasoned with good filling. The chicken was moist and tender, and they give you a lot! The rice was perfectly seasoned with the subtle beauty of ginger and garlic, maybe a hint of green onion. The soup is perfect, it will warm your soul (and fix a hangover). The sauces have nice bold flavors and they don't charge you extra for more if you want it! They set it out on a side table for you to take as you like. The staff is so nice and friendly and genuinely appreciate your business. The best Hainan chicken ive found in southern California.

I got the original Hainan chicken. Food was served in a to-go container, which kinda takes away from the dine-in experience. Portions were pretty big though. The sweet sesame sauce and ginger soy sauce wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t amazing. I think I prefer the traditional Hainan chicken sauces more. The meat was also a little dry.

The hainese chicken here is great. I called in my order versus using the online grub hub and the price was cheaper by $4 per dish.

Ubereats - ordered family XL - came promptly. They deboned everything but chicken is dry and overcooked. Sorry, these not the Hainanese chicken standard from Singapore or Malaysia. Tofu is crispy like bacon. Quantity is plentiful but quality Needs to improve .
