Savoy Kitchen in Alhambra

The Hainan chicken at Savoy is a local favorite for a reason. Very well marinated and cooked meat, with a fresh side salad and creamy dressing. A must try if youre nearby! Decent prices and service all around. Theres a dedicated parking lot nearby, just follow the signs. You order at the counter and find a seat inside or out. Bathroom is behind the building. If youre prone to bites and youre sitting outside definitely put on bug spray during the summer or youll be eaten alive.

This is a no fuss dining experience. You get in line and place your order and they bring it out. We ate out side in the patio so flies were a bit of an issues. Street parking or a parking lot across the street, but it was very tight and cramp. I was overly excited for this place because a lot of bloggers speak highly of the place but for me, the food was mediocre and the sauce the came with the chicken was not mind blowing. The hainan chicken was a little too soft for me. The rice was rather dry. The pepper steak was decent and better than the chicken in my opinion. This is a once and done restaurant for me, not worth the drive from OC as banana bay in Rowland heights have the same dish, but better.

Service is bad. Do not recommend and will never come again.Ordered from the back facing lady front of the counter appears to be more of an argument than customer service. That lady need to do better.Food is so so, chicken is hard and dry, the tight meat is decent, rice is hard and dry, not much chicken rice taste. So if you are thinking about coming here. Dont.Really a waste of money and time.

The Conch Pasta Dish, Creme Brule and Iced Coffee were fantastic!! The service was not only quick but wonderful. The ladies that serve and take your order were all so very friendly. I can see why this place is always packed. Great food and great atmosphere.

I love this place more after they renovated, providing outdoor seating for kiddo or w/ pets. I have tried pretty much everything here on the menu, you can never go wrong with classic Hainan chicken w/ Salad and their classic lemon ice tea.

It’s a good dish of chicken rice that you can live by but it’s not “Hainan” chicken rice standard. The meat is not soft enough and lack of collagen.We put our names on the list and the server walked back and forth noticing us but won’t bother to “ hi I’ll be right with you” so it’s kinda awkward didn’t know where we should stand, no instruction on what’s next after writing your name down. The restaurant’s setting is confusing.We ordered half chicken and 2 bowls of flavored rice, the service went “ you meant 2 orders?”“ well yes 2 orders I guess..i don’t know how big is an order”She went again “ ok 2 orders”Perhaps she could explain: the rice will be on a plate so it’s called as order blah blah blah.It made the whole conversation go like an argument between “ order” or “ bowl” - which was very unnecessary.We just want to eat Hainan chicken rice.My husband tried to speak in Chinese so maybe it’s easier to communicate but she went on with English then later she spoke Chinese to other customers and her co-worker. Like why…I also don’t like that they put the sauce plate on top of the rice. The bottom of a sauce plate is usually not clean…The food is decent but the whole experience here was not pleasant.

No drink refills (menu), indoor and outdoor seating.Refills are at the wait services discretion.Ive been passing by this place since I was a little child, they have been open for well over 2 decades, so theyre doing something right. Despite being land locked by their dining area thats smaller than my bedroom, they continue to have people who are willing to wait in line to order food...for good reason. They have incredibly great hinan chicken and Italian food!(?)The most surprising aspect about this restaurant is that they have outstanding Italian food!!! Their chicken marinara pasta tastes perfect, and my favorite dish here. I believe they make their sauce from scratch, which enhances the quality and the flavor of the sauce, as well as the tender chicken.Since opening, they have expanded their dining area with outdoor seating.Depicted are: sausage marinara pasta, chicken marinara pasta, and something I forgot lol

I believe this is the most famous Hainan chicken rice in SoCal as I have heard so many times from many different friends. The quality of food is great and fresh. I think overall experience is good, but I think the portion for a regular Hainan chicken rice is a bit small.

I havent dined here for a long time. My review is about my take out experience. Their food is always consistent and thus is a good thing. Their signature dish is Hainan Chicken Right and it wont disappoint. They now have a parking lot across the street and thats a plus.

Only thing worth ordering is the ginger sauce. Quite honestly a big let down. Ive had the chicken in Singapore, and HK, so I know what is should be like. The rice was dry, chicken had no essence. Sauces were good. Took forever to get extra. Not enough but for three bites worth. Still dont get why people wait here. It didnt bother me but you should exercise some discretion, a food server petted a customers dog quite a bit, then proceeded to serve the table next to us their food. Pizza tasted liked boxed frozen pizza; no I apologize, frozen pizza deserve more respect than the one that was served. Pork curry was really tough and no flavor. Two stars is being generous but the cashier was very pleasant and the ginger sauce was the star.
