The«Hype» surrounding Hainan Chicken rice seems a little odd to me. I have grown up with the Cantonese Boiled chicken served with Chinese Hot Mustard(truthfully Coleman’s Hot British Mustard), light soy sauce and a touch of the Chinese Holy Trinity(garlic, ginger, and scallion). The Hainan chicken is an interesting version of this Cantonese staple. I thoroughly enjoyed it, including the three wonderful sauces. We also had a version of chicken congee or «Gai Jook.» I finished my healthy-sized lunch with some of the Thai wings– a little sweet, and tasty. I wanted to try the chicken bao but did not have the appetite. I am so used to immersing my steamed white rice with chicken broth that its use in the chicken rice was not unusual. This tiny restaurant without a restroom, understands that it is all about the food! The owner has a wonderful personality, and I thoroughly enjoyed her company. I find humorous some of the Unilocal reviews who criticize her for being too friendly and attentive. Many customers even Unilocalers have always believed that the world revolves around them??? Anyway, I would take this family business that concentrates on fresh ingredients, and some old fashioned entrepreneurship, before any of the so called«Asian Fusion» restaurants. If you like chicken and rice you need to visit Flock & Fowl! Do not miss it! Viva Las Vegas!

Their highly touted hainan chicken rice lives up to the hype. However, the rest of the menu is just ok. You should stick with their chicken rice. First of all, the chicken rice is very tender and the rice soaks up the flavor, this is a top notch dish and worth the wait. Their ginger dipping sauce hits the spot. The only complaint is that the portion is small, like a larger appetizer, so don’t come hungry. Perhaps an extra chicken add on for a few more dollars? The fried chicken tenders was a little disappointing. The outside was nice and crispy, the inside was very moist. The only problem is that it’s way too salty and dipping into the provided sauces makes this worse. The biggest disappointment is the jook or chicken congee. This is not done the traditional way, the texture was off, the bean sprouts and pickled veggies just didn’t work. Why don’t they use a traditional recipe and use their high quality chicken and this certainly would be a big hit? Note that the restaurant is hard to find and not in good neighborhood, going here only for lunch is high advisable. When on Sahara, look for Tam street, it’s in the small strip mall. Also, it’s a really small space, so only a few tables are available.

This place is such an impressive culinary gem in Vegas! The traditional Haianese Chicken plate is a must. I’m not normally a fan of poached chicken, but their organic free range chicken and the delicious sauces and chicken-fat rice go together so beautifully. The fried chicken nap and the Sambal chicken wings are also super delicious. Can’t go wrong with this spot if you love chicken and Chinese food… A definite must try!

coming from LA… everyone knows about Savoy. after learning about this place and it seems pretty interesting, i decided to give it a try! everything is organic and homemade here, the sauces, gingers, eggs, even chickens were ‘massaged’! the hainan chicken was yum — white meats were so tender, don’t need to pay extra for all dark meat! rice was pretty seasoned, fried chicken skin were a little too thick — i did not finish mine and i LOVE chicken skins! i thought the sambal wings were just OK, not so spicy and lack of flavors… the waitress(or the owner?) was… WAY too attentive… she came over and checked on us for maybe 5 times, explained how everything was prepared… she did the same thing to everyone, so when you are inside a small restaurant, you kinda hear the same thing over and over and over again… yes it’s very helpful, i guess if people ask or seem confused on how things are made? the whole thing was seem too excessive. would i come back? probably not.(well, if i actually live in LV, yes i would definitely will!) i do recommend people who loves hainan chicken to go give this place a try! the congee with poached egg looks interesting too but i did not give it a try… no bathroom here! they’d ask you to go to the sandwich shop at the next plaza, but it’s really not the cleanest place…

If they had more tables to sit, I’d rate 5 stars. From a simple menu to fresh and organic ingredients, this little hole in the wall does not disappoint! I ordered the fried chicken tenders with Chinese sausage and an iced chrysanthemum tea. Everything tastes great. The sauces were delicious. It may seem like small portions, but I feel it’s the perfect amount; you won’t walk out too full or still hungry. The server(only woman working the front) was very kind and polite. She remembers your name as she brings out the food. A nice touch of hospitality. She explains what’s in your food and how it’s cooked. The price is a bit on the higher side, but you’re eating good quality chicken!

Went on Saturday 1−2−16 around 11:30AM. This restaurant is located on Sahara just west of Las Vegas Blvd, but further west than the shopping center that houses the Golden Steer. It’s in a scary shopping center where most of the stores have bars on the windows and you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a strip club. We were greeted with«HELLOWELCOMEWEDONOTHAVEHIGHCHAIRSOR A PUBLICBATHROOM». Woah, lady! Dial it down a notch! I felt really bad for her because she was doing literally everything but making the food. She took the orders, ran the food, and bussed the tables. Can we get this lady some helpers before she has an aneurysm please? She’s a hard worker for sure! So much hustle! Order your food at the counter ANDTHENSITDOWN or else this lady might reprimand you like she did the people behind us. $ 35.70 got us a hainan chicken dinner, a cornish game hen dinner, a vietnamese coffee, and a green tea. $ 8.99 Hainan chicken dinner comes with three dipping sauces(ginger scallion sauce + house made chile + house made soy) rice, pickled cucumbers, and preserved mustard greens. I also added chinese sausage and broth for $ 2.24. I was expecting the hainan chicken to be a room temperature but I was not expecting the broth to be the same temp… so that surprised me. The rice was wonderful… fatty and silky and delicious. The chicken was so juicy and tender… probably the best white meat chicken I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the cornish game hen with salad. The salad was phenominal… the greens were fresh and crispy and it had tons of fresh toppings like pomegranite arils, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, kale, etc. and came already dressed with the most delicious sesame dressing. The chicken tasted like it had been cooked too long. It was dry and almost black on the bottom. I felt like I was in that christmas vacation movie where they are all chewing on that dry-ass turkey and trying to choke it down with water. Next time I will try the fried chicken bao and I’ll definitely get the salad with chicken tenders.

Perfectly cooked chicken! Yes, add sausage to the rice. Sauces…so good! Wings are yummy. Sambal wings were super spicy, but I couldn’t stop taking another bite. What?! No msg in all the food? Wow Homemade lemon tea, one can taste the care in its making. Ambience is unassuming, and not pretentious. Will be back VERY soon.

PREFACE Even though the wildly popular Savoy is just a 5 minute drive from me, I have only been there twice in all the years I’ve known of its success.(For you Las Vegans, I’m referring to a place in Alhambra, CA.) Since I was not impressed with their Hainan Chicken the first time, I thought I try it again given the 2k+ reviews. Second time around, I was still not impress by the dry so called Hainan Chicken. ONTOTHEREVIEW I came in with low expectations; I’ve had my Hainan Chicken heart broken before. Like other have said, the restaurant is located in your not so typical plaza. But can’t complain since there are plenty of free parking. The restaurant is small but cute, very modern and definitely a minimalist feel to it. When you first walk in be sure to place your order. If you’re dining in, the cashier(who also serves as waitress) will let you know which table you can take. If you’re ordering to go, there are seats along the wall. This is not a fast food joint, so expect a bit of a wait before your meal is brought out. We ordered: –Hainanese Chicken Rice w/Chinese Sausage and Chicken Broth: The best Hainan Chicken I have ever tasted! The chicken is moist and flavorful! Pair it with the ginger and soy, perfection! The Chinese Sausage was just ok, wouldn’t get again. Didn’t enhance the dish further. And I can definitely pass on the broth(a bit too bland for my liking). –Hainan Fried Chicken Rice w/Chinese Sausage and Chicken Broth: Decided to get this dish so that we can sample other things on their menu. Like another Unilocaler had said: skip this. I have to agree. Nothing really exciting about. I enjoyed the dipping sauce that was specifically for this fried chicken, but you’re better off getting their Hainanese Chicken Rice. Next time we are in Vegas, we will certainly be back for their Hainan Chicken!

I headed here for the much anticipated Hainnan chicken rice. The place is in a random location and quaint. The set-up is a bit unique, as you order food first at the cash register, then grab a seat, if available. A friend and I ordered the Hainnan chicken rice with a side of egg and Chinese sausage, the sambal chicken wings, and the bao, in addition to the salad. Somehow, the two gentlemen who ordered their food after us were getting the exact same order of Hainnan chicken, wings, as well as the salad dish prior to us, which lead to much confusion. We got an apology by the waitress, and then received our orders, but couldn’t help but notice that the size of our chicken was ¾ the size of the table next to us, and the wings were smaller as well. The salad portion was also significantly smaller. Side by side, it was a bit obvious. The Hainnan chicken itself seemed like high quality chicken. The portion however is small as a trade-off. The side sauces that came with it were okay. The sambal wings were an epic fail in flavor, and neither of us enjoyed it, even leaving a wing behind. The salad dressing and flavor was really good and refreshing. The bao was nothing to rave about as the fried chicken inside had a mediocre crunch, texture, and flavor was unimpressive. All in all, the price was a bit high for everything we got. The service is questionable, as there is one person running around trying to take orders and serve customers. Not only did it seem hectic, but, the waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed and anxious in general. Just a note, there is no restroom available, so wash your handsies prior, and your bowels emptied prior to your arrival. The question is would I return? I’m not sure as nothing was notable to me, and I have had better Hainnan chicken elsewhere.

A near perfect taste of Singapore’s national dish for under $ 9(Hawaii yeeps add $ 600 supplement and 5.5hrs of flying). That’s a savings of $ 13,700(hey, if you’re going to Singapore, you gotta fly Suite Class right?) Simply put, this is an authentic, closest tasting Hainanese chicken rice to the hawker stands of Singapore. Boneless, tender, moist, not fatty pieces of chicken with a very pronounced chickeny flavor served with rice cooked in a rich chicken stock. Add a whatever portion of dark soy, grated ginger and scallion oil, and fiery chili sauce before spooning the entire bite into your eagerly awaiting mouth. Then, wow. Being so chickeny is helped along by the chicken is free range and cooked in a mother stock that is perpetually maintained(based on how this chicken taste, this is definitely the case). Four other items round out the menu, all chicken of course. The«Hainan Fried Chicken Rice», good. Moist, breaded, deep fried chicken tenders. What’s not to love. The«Night Market Fried Chicken Bao», the same deep fried chicken in a bun(Chinese not hamburger), with hoisin, sesame seeds, and greens makes a nice starter but nothing compares to the chicken. As others have mentioned, this is a very small restaurant. Go at opening or expect a wait. Service is mom and pop, family friendly. Vegas rocks out yet another serious Asian food find.

I’ve been to Flock & Fowl three times now and I’m already dreaming of when I’ll go back again. This is one of the rare places that I will gladly order chicken since I already eat so much of it, but my chicken is boring compared to Chef Su’s. From the Hainanese Chicken to the rice that’s prepared with chicken stock and chicken fat, you cannot go wrong ordering this signature dish. I actually dream about it when I’m at work, at home, at the gym. The only drawback is that Flock & Fowl is not open for dinner because I’d go a lot more if it were. My review is already just another glowing one for this place, but I heartily agree with all the other 5 stars this chicken shoppe has bestowed upon it. Try it!

In the world of vegas, Flock & Fowl is an awesome addition to the neighborhood. Here’s what we had: Hainan Chicken w/chinese sausage($ 8.99, +$ 2 for chinese sausage, +$ 0.25 for broth): This was an excellent dish. You can tell they chose quality ingredients because everything tastes very clean. Since when can you say chinese food tastes«clean»? It’s a very refreshing dish and contained the perfect amount of food. I particularly enjoyed the garlic sauce, though it may be too spicy for some. For those from the 626, the garlic sauce is very similar to Litz… which is one of my favorite restaurants. They also have Sweet Soy sauce, so ask for that if your taste buds need something sweet to go with the spicy. Fried chicken bao: The chicken was fried perfectly. However, what really made this dish was the tangy slaw. 5 stars for this little oasis from Sin City.

I might not have given five stars based on the food alone. Fortunately, I had much more to go on. Flock & Fowl is the newest venture by chef Sheridan Su of Fat Choy(and previously Great Bao and whatnot), and it’s located in a strip mall off Sahara between the Strip and the highway. The food is quite good, as I’ll detail momentarily. But if his wife Jenny Wong is there running the show and making you feel at home, you’re in for a great experience. She remembers everyone’s name, explains menu items at the register or when bringing them to your table, and is generally a master of service. Orders are placed at the window, with menus available on the board below the counter or in the frames on the side wall(with daily specials clipped on the side, which I failed to notice until the end). After paying, you can grab one of the few tables, assuming it’s not packed for lunch rush(which I avoided having wisely arrived early), or take your order to-go. It doesn’t seem wise to wait on the fried items though. Of the two types of chicken wings on the menu($ 4.99 for 4, $ 7.99 for 8), they only had the Thai Caramel today. Maybe I’ll try the Mystery Wings eventually, but I really can’t remember having more delicious chicken wings than the Thai Caramel, even considering the best batches of my dad’s homemade wings. These wings are large, juicy, and slathered with a potent sauce. Jenny described it as lemony, fish saucy, and garlicky, and it’s all of those flavors along with a wings-appropriate level of sweetness. Best wings ever? Dunno. Destination-worthy? Absolutely. Next, I had the Night Market Fried Chicken Bao($ 3.79 for 1, $ 6.99 for 2). With a huge boneless piece of buttermilk fried chicken, kale, daikon sprouts, mustard greens, and sauce, it’s at or near the level of Chef Sheridan’s legendary pork belly bao(at Fat Choy). The delicious fried exterior makes up for what initially felt like a slightly underseasoned interior, and the accoutrements round out of the flavors and textures. Not that the chicken lacks any crunch or juiciness on its own. The bun did feel a little stretched, but it’s a sufficient vessel for the goodness within. Finally, I got to my entrée, the Hainanese Chicken Rice($ 8.99) with additional Chinese sausage($ 1.99) and chicken broth($ 0.25). Tender, juicy boiled chicken with moist chicken fat rice are the basis, and some mustard greens and lightly pickled cucumbers are available on the side, but the overall flavor profile would feel slightly lacking without the Chinese sausage. Chicken isn’t known for its intrinsic flavor, and while the spicy sambal sauce and the soy sauce are good, the ginger scallion sauce lacks all of the ubiquitous ginger kick. Also, the house-made broth did have rich chicken flavor, but it suffered greatly from lack of salt. Fortunately, the nearly fatal flaw seems to be masked by pouring it all over the rice and then adding sauces. It’s not a perfect dish, so I wouldn’t necessarily agree with the Signature Dish of the Year award recently bestowed upon it by the Desert Companion magazine, but I can see myself ordering it again, especially because the leftover portion grew on me. I also tasted my friend’s Flock and Fowl Salad w/Cornish Game Hen($ 9.99). The salad was very impressive, with ingredients such as cranberries, avocado, pomegranate seeds, and tomatoes over fresh lettuce. As for the hen, I’ll have to reserve judgment because I tried it without the accompanying salt and Szechuan pepper mixture, and it seemed lacking on its own. Lest you think that food is the only worthwhile type of consumable here, they have a good selection of iced and hot teas and coffees, available sweetened or unsweetened. I went to the«premium» section of the beverage menu for the freshly steeped jasmine green tea($ 5). Jenny brought out the pot then poured in the boiling water, and you can take the leaves out and place it into a tiny metal bucket whenever you’d like the arrest the steeping process. I found that the first batch was very fragrant, but the jasmine scent was significantly muted in a second steeping of the same leaves. I did eventually find enough jasmine flavor, such that it dwarfs most jasmine teas that you’ll find. but don’t be surprised if there’s a drop-off if you re-up. As I said before, service was terrific. At the end of the meal, Jenny brought us to-go boxes and bags, complimentary sauce to-go upon request, and a complimentary second helping of boiling water plus a to-go cup without request. It’s technically not full service, but that’s a technicality based on where you place your order. It’s definitely the best service in recent(or any) memory. Flock & Fowl is only open for lunch(10:30−3:30) on Tuesday through Saturday so far, but it’s a must-try for the Thai Caramel wings and for the hostess. Its location is accessible enough for tourists and just remote enough for locals, so unless you’re a vegetarian, you really have no excuse not to stop by.

For those of you who’ve been to Singapore or lived there, you can now have a sigh of relief. The search has ended. Flock and Fowl is as good as it gets. You don’t understand how much I miss Singapore, I miss the food there more than I miss my friends there. I am the type of person that will fly halfway across the world for their favorite food. And i did just that when it come to Hainan chicken over rice. This place is legit. The owner is even in Singapore right now taking lessons on how to improve, not that they need to. This place can be hard to find if you miss your exit, so don’t MISSIT! I walked into the café on a weekday and was shock to see how packed it was. There was one table left which is great cause i got really lucky. You have to place your order in the front and then take a seat. The Owner Jenny will greet you with a smile and provides attentive service. I got the Hainan Chicken over rice. It came out pretty fast! The presentation was nice and it came with 3 sauces. The sauces include the ginger, sweet soy and chili sauce, all which was made in house. I added an egg to mine, was was on top of the special rice. The way I normally rate Hainan chicken, comes down to the rice and the way the skin is attached to the chicken. In this case, it met all my standards. The chicken was boneless and the skin came off easily. The chicken was not dry and perfectly moist. The rice was just want i wanted. It was flavored well and wasn’t too oily! Just completely perfect! I have to say I like this place more than Savory in SoCal. When i found out this place opened, i seriously convinced my friend to fly out to Vegas just to try it when we got off the plane. Of course, it’s cheaper than flying to Singapore. I was so tempted to buy one togo to bring it bak to the bay but they don’t open on Sunday. Oh the heartbreak! If the owners are reading this, I ask you to please open one in San Francisco! I beg of you!

Poached juicy chicken? Yes please! I’ve always been a huge fan of Hainan Chicken Rice and when I found out there was a place off strip that specializes in it, I bookmarked it and flew out to try. Thank goodness for airline perks! Chicken is organic free range; it’s the American version of the chickens that are found in Asia called«Tu-Gi» — ground/dirt chickens since they run around all day on dirt. The chicken was poached perfectly. Juicy. Tender. Melt in my mouth. The rice was soooooo flavorful! Perfectly al dente. I’ll be dreaming about this for awhile. Sauces are all made in house. Dip the chicken in the soy, add a dollop of ginger scallion and do a dab of the sambal sauce. Eat. Repeat. Broth. Get the broth. Hands down that broth is amazeballs. I wish I could get the broth Fedex-Ed to me next time I get sick. It tasted like hearty yummy chicken. Cornish hen salad was delicious! Served with half a hen that’s fried so that the skin had all sorts of delicious crispy heavenly goodness. It comes with a wedge of lemon and a twist on the classic salt and pepper that included ground Szechuan peppercorns! The salad was chock full of autumn goodies: pomegranate seeds, avocado, julienned persimmons, cucumbers, grapes, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and green mix. Solid five stars. It is now on my regular Vegas restaurant rotations along with Lotus of Siam.

Experience: I’ve eaten at Fat Choy and heard this was the new hybrid chicken restaurant from the same owners. Besides all my Unilocal friends have given it such fantastic reviews, so had to come try. Annnddd, its in my neighborhood! :) I came with a girlfriend on a Sat at 2:30. As everyone else mentioned, it’s only open very select hours, so be aware. Facility: This is located in the strip mall next to the strip mall where Golden Steer is. It’s a very small spot with only a few tables and chairs. There are a few chairs in the side to wait if you decide to get Togo. It’s very quaint with a clean, modern feel. There was a TV on the wall, but thankfully it wasn’t on. They are playing a great soulful, neo-soul type music, that I LOVE!!! Service: I met the owner Jenny, and she was super nice and helpful. She describes everything as she places it on your table. Then she comes back to check how you like it, and if you need anymore sauce, etc. Phenomenal service! Food: We ordered several dishes to try. Jenny said the chicken was all organic, range free chicken out of a farm in California. Good to know! Chicken Bao — 4⁄5 — I liked this, but while I was eating it, I was craving more sauce flavor. The chicken strip itself is soaked in buttermilk, and it was cooked perfectly. Chicken Wings — 5⁄5 — we tried both kinds and they both were decisions. The Thai were deep fried with a crispy coating and yummy sauce. The Szechwan were fried and braised, and the sauce was amazing. Hainan chicken with an egg and sausage — 4⁄5 — This was very good. The sauces were good. And I loved the Chinese sausage add-on! It had almost a sweet finish to it. You really have to try it next time you order the Hainan. Unfortunately, this is nothing against the chef, but I love salt on any eggs, and also on white rice, so I kept wishing I had some salt to add to this dish. Overall: Great little spot with a specialized menu. Jenny is awesome and really sets the tone for a great dinning experience. Plus these were some of the best wings I’ve had in Vegas. I’ll be back. :)

My friends and I recently went to Flock & Fowl for lunch due to the awesome reviews. I love eating Hainan Chicken when I can. I often visit Savoy Kitchen in Alhambra for the dish and I have tried the popular Nong’s Khao Man Gai in Portland, Oregon as well. Of course, Flock & Fowl’s version is different — I do believe they base theirs on Taiwan’s version. My friends and I all ordered the Hainan Chicken($ 8.99) to try. Two of my friends ordered Chinese sausage($ 1.99) with it. Other than Chinese sausage, you can add on an egg, broth, or salad. Each dish comes with a mix of dark and white meat chicken — organic free ranged chicken at that. It also comes with rice, which is traditionally cooked with chicken broth but judging from the rice’s consistency and flavor, I can’t say it was traditionally done. On the side is some cucumbers and pickled mustard greens. Then on a tray is three different sauces for you: ginger and scallion, a sweet soy, and a spicy sauce. The chicken itself is very tender and juicy. It was prepared beautifully. However, perhaps I’m just not used to organic chicken… the flavor just isn’t there for me. The essence of chicken is missing. Even when I use the ginger and scallion sauce on it, it just doesn’t bring about the same reaction as I usually get. Also, I normally love chicken skin and the aroma it comes with. I don’t necessarily eat it often though because I’ve had some pretty bad experiences as a child. The chicken skin that came with the chicken here at Flock & Fowl just does not make me excited. The rice was fantastic. I love rice. I love rice that isn’t mushy. The rice here had just the right amount of bite to it. The flavors were really subtle. I kind of wish that they used chicken broth to make it. But hell … What’s even better? Mixing the ginger and scallion sauce into the rice and eating it! Chinese sausage is really good. Chinese sausage is like a comfort food to me so it has a dear place in my heart. The flavors are great with rice so definitely give it a try. As for the service, I guess I could give them the benefit of the doubt that there is literally only one person working the restaurant front. Though, something stood out to me that I absolutely did not understand. My boyfriend and I were standing in line to order and when it was our turn, the phone rang. It turned out to be a phone order and it turned out that the phone order came before us, regardless of the fact that we’ve been waiting long before that phone order was placed. Not to mention that it was a good 30+ minute wait for our food. The establishment is also really tiny. There is only about five tables or so. No restrooms. Sorry. You’ll have to go to Capriottis for that one. End point. I would probably justify it with a 3.5 rating. I liked it. I just didn’t love it – aside from the rice and pickled mustard greens that is. The wait and the«put phone orders first» was definitely not a plus on this one. So even if I do give it another go, I would only do take out. Doing take out means I’ll be able to cut in front of whoever is in line during that time. I’ve had better but not in Vegas. If you compare to the other places in Vegas that serve Hainan Chicken, Flock & Fowl is definitely a solid and #1 choice.

I have been to Chef Sheridan Su’s Fat Choy restaurant in the Eureka Casino and I was intrigued when I learned that he opened a new place with a very limited menu of Hainan chicken and four other items. Six of us decided to meet for lunch yesterday and it would give me the chance to try the Hainan chicken about which I’ve read so much. We were served everything on the menu. As it only contains 5 things plus a few à la carte items, everything was enough and very good. We started with fried chicken bao with kale pea sprout slaw. The chicken was excellent, breaded just right, and with the slaw and the soft bao, it made one great sandwich. Next came two orders of chicken wings – one of Thai caramel and one called Mystery wings which are Szechuan style wings. I had one of each. I liked the Szechuan wings better but I’m not a chicken wing fan. Generally when I order wings, I get boneless wings which aren’t wings at all. It’s the messy fingers syndrome I don’t like. Then we were served a Flock & Fowl salad with Cornish game hen pieces. I had some salad but I didn’t try the hen. Last, we were brought two dishes – one with the Hainan poached chicken for which this place has become known and one with fried chicken tenders and rice. Both dishes come with three sauces, ginger scallion, house made chile, and house made soy. Both dishes come with rice and marinated cucumbers and preserved mustard greens. The Hainan chicken comes with a cup of broth. These dishes are excellent! The Hainan chicken is moist and delightfully boneless and the dipping sauces add to the taste of the chicken. The tenders are excellent! This is a must return to place. The bao, the tenders, and the Hainan chicken are all worthy of having again! A couple of tips: this is a lunch only restaurant open from 10:30 — 3:30. It’s a small place seating just 16 people so you may have a wait. This is in a small strip mall on West Sahara near the freeway on the north side of Sahara. Chef Su and Jenny Wong are most gracious people and you’ll enjoy your stop here!

Sheridan Su and Jenny Wong have done it again. Their success with Fat Choy is due to their great business sense and people skills: offer good food at affordable prices. Flock and Fowl just has more sophistication, shall I say. They are located at the same complex as Golden Steer. Currently, their business hours are limited. Seating is limited(about 5 small tables) but you can always take your food to-go instead. They have about 5 organic poultry menu items/combos. But the freshly made drinks and the Hainan chicken rice are the business! Hainan Chicken Rice: First of all, I’m not a big fan of chicken skin that is white. If it’s not BBQ’ed, fried, baked, or roasted to a golden brown — I refuse to eat it. I avoid Hainan chicken rice at all costs… but not this time! I’d have to say, this is the first Hainan chicken rice I’ve ever liked. Ok so maybe, I removed the chicken skin but the sliced chicken pieces were juicy. You dip the chicken in sambal, garlic ginger or soy sauce… or maybe, all 3. Then, eat it with the fragrant and flavorful rice with mustard greens. 5⁄5 Bao Chicka Bao Bao: A big hot juicy chicken tender in a bao(steamed bun) with kale and sauce. There’s nothing quite like it. Soft bao + crispy kale and chicken. Yuuuummm!!! 5⁄5 Lemon Tea: Refreshing and fragrant without being too tart. Jenny makes a fresh batch from scratch as needed. 5⁄5 Milk Green Tea: If you want a somewhat richer kind of drink, this is a good option. It’s floral and slightly creamy. 4.5÷5 Jenny can make adjustments to your drink if you want it sweeter, more tart, etc. They’re genuinely nice. They remember customers’ names. They take time to chat with you.

This is such a great place with great people — Sheridan and Jenny are so wonderful and hospitable! The menu is simple, but it’s all you need to fulfill your poultry needs. They use Mary’s free-range organic chicken for all their dishes. There’s either poached chicken, fried chicken tenders, or chicken wings. Hainan Chicken Rice($ 8.99): poached chicken and rice cooked in chicken fat with pickled cucumbers and mustard greens. Served with housemade soy, ginger scallion, and sambal sauces, and a side of chicken broth. I added a fried egg($ 1.99) and Chinese sausage($ 1.99). This dish is phenomenal. It’s Asian comfort food at its finest. Every element is so wonderful. The chicken, the rice, and especially the housemade sauces. I had to get extra ginger scallion. Yum. I could eat this all the time. Mrs. Han’s Twice-Cooked Szechuan Chicken Wings and Thai Style Chicken Wings: fish sauce, garlic, and lemon(1 pound, $ 7.99). Both extremely flavorful! Also, just really great wings. You get a cute metal bucket to put your bones. I’m definitely going back to try the other dishes, but the Hainan Chicken Rice is a must on every visit!
