Chicken Meets Rice in Santa Clara

The best chicken rice Ive ever had outside of Singapore.This place has incredible chicken rice. On the kiosk, I ordered dark meat, with skin, with chicken broth, and a container of Singapore soy sauce. The chicken was perfectly poached. It was tender and just wonderful. The rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The broth was perfectly salted and tasted great; I had the whole cup all at once. The Singapore soy sauce seemed to be soy sauce diluted with chicken broth. I used about half the container. I appreciated the shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and cilantro on the side.I also ordered some fried chicken skin, because Ive never had it. It came in a wax paper bag and had a strong chicken-y smell. The skin was like pork rinds but chicken. For my drink, I had a can of coconut water. My total after tax, before tip was $23.98, which felt fair for what I got.Heres why Im taking a star off: I saw and heard two employees bullying a third employee for wearing a mask. There were two guys, one with a cap and one with a beard, and they continued to comment on a female employee who was wearing a mask.I loved the food here. It brought a smile to my face. However, some of the employees need to grow up.

We stopped by for a quick bite before heading to the concert at Levis Stadium, and it was the perfect choice. I tried the Fried Chicken Box, and it was fantastic. The hand-cut, panko-breaded chicken thighs were crispy outside and tender inside. The mix of salad, pickled carrots, cucumber, and sauces added great flavors. The chicken itself was impressively seasoned. Plus, its super close to the stadium, making it an ideal spot for a meal before heading to an event.*Highly recommended for concert-goers!

Inside is ok, could be better. I dont like small, noisy, crammed atmospheres. I am claustrophobic. In my opinion, rap music is not good for ANY establishment. However, the food, and service is EXCELLENT. Just would love a bigger space to eat inside.

Good food but very busy and slow at lunch. Get there early or order on-line.

I like the idea and perhaps I made the wrong choices but was not impressed by the Panko Fried Chicken Box, salad greens nor coffee meets tea. I think they need to use better chicken, for I can make tastier fried chicken at home without fuss, and really dont think coffee/tea make a good combination. Ordering was fuss free, like the progress board on the big screen, staff was nice.

Worth place for having some chicken and rice best dish Hainan chicken box with Singapore sause and chicken broth taken me into Thailand street food days best place give it a tryThe famous dishes hainan chicken with dark meat and grilled chicken, those are superb

Good *most* of the time.I order here a lot and always have a good experience with the Hainanese chicken.I would stay away from the fried or grilled chicken as they’re inconsistent with how they’re made. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes the meat is tough or over cooked - like it was sitting for a period of time.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chicken meets Rice restaurant in Santa Clara. It has quickly become one of my top two favorite chicken rice establishments, second only to the renowned Nongs Khao Man Gai in Portland.Lets start with the star of the show: the chicken. The chicken at Chicken meets Rice was cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, each bite was a delightful experience. The chicken had a lovely balance of seasoning, and it was evident that great care went into its preparation. It certainly lived up to my expectations.Moving on to the rice, it was executed well. The grains were fluffy and had a pleasant texture. They were cooked just right, neither too soft nor too firm. The fragrance of the rice was inviting, complementing the succulent chicken beautifully. It provided a satisfying base for the dish.However, where Chicken meets Rice fell slightly short was in their sauces. While they were decent, they didnt quite reach the same level of excellence. The sauces lacked the wow factor that could have taken the overall experience to the next level. They were satisfactory but didnt leave a lasting impression.Overall, my recent dining experience at Chicken meets Rice was enjoyable. The chicken was expertly cooked, and the rice provided a delightful accompaniment. While the sauces may not have wowed me, they were still acceptable. If they can elevate their sauce game, Chicken meets Rice has the potential to become an outstanding chicken rice destination.I highly recommend giving Chicken meets Rice a try. The perfectly cooked chicken and flavorful rice are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Simple, delicious, quick food. Even though you order at the kiosk, the service was friendly when picking up the food. Most times we either get take-out or get it delivered.Food is made fast, with quality. The fried chicken wing is perfectly crisp. I typically get the Hainan Chicken with Chicken Rice and the ginger sauce.
