ME CHICKEN RICE

This place is a hidden gem! I ordered the No. 2 Fried Chicken Rice, and it completely blew me away. I’ve traveled to Thailand, but I’ve never experienced ginger fried rice like this—it was so unique and flavorful that I couldn’t stop taking bites back to back. I received my order no more than 2 minutes after ordering, which was incredibly impressive. I’m already planning my next visit just to try the same plate again, and I’m seriously considering bringing some home after work! The boneless fried chicken was absolutely perfect—juicy and packed with outstanding flavors that really stood out. To top it all off, the chef personally thanked me for my service and even gave me a bottle of water on the house. It’s the little things that make a big difference. I will definitely be back—this spot is worth every visit!

5 stars for 5 reasons 1. Best fried chicken I’ve had in NY! So crispy and the chicken is fresh! So good! 2. The daikon soup is tasty and really complements the whole meal! 3. Price is phenomenal! 12.95 unbeatable! 4. Quality and quantity! Very good! 5. Nice folks and quick service!

Ordered the number 2 fried chicken and the spring roll. The fried chicken was super crispy in the outside and tender in the inside. I think the batter they use for the skin had those crispy cereals to make it crispy. Added the red sauce on top and it was a cherry on top. The broth was also very flavorful and delicious. Great way to wash down the meal. The spring roll was ok. I don’t really like fried spring roll but we ordered to try it. I think dipped with the sauce is good but personally it was eh for me. However my bf did like it so I was say it’s decent. The order came super fast and nice customer service. Would definitely come back again.

Tucked away in a humble corner, Me Chicken Rice might be easy to overlook, but once you try their food, it’s impossible to forget. This unassuming spot serves what is arguably one of the best chicken and rice dishes I’ve ever tasted. I opted for the roasted chicken, and every bite was a testament to their dedication to quality. The chicken was fresh, incredibly juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with that ideal balance of crispy skin and tender meat. The rice was just as impressive—flavorful, fragrant, and cooked to perfection, making it more than just a side but a key part of the meal. What sets Me Chicken Rice apart is the love they put into their food. It’s evident in every bite, from the quality of the ingredients to the careful preparation. It’s a small spot, but the success they’ve achieved in mastering such a simple yet delicious dish is huge. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Me Chicken Rice is a must-try for anyone who appreciates good, honest food.

I love their Hainanese chicken rice (combo No. 1, that is) SO MUCH. Hands down more delicious than the ones I’ve had in Hainan. The sauces are fantastic my mixed and a rather core part of the taste. The Thai lady behind the counter is always very friendly. Service is fast. Limited seating but can always get a spot if you wait a few min. Every dish is flavorful. Soups that come with the meals are great too - memorably tasty broth that can probably help with sickness with its warmth and nutrition.

Delicious! VERY generous portions and great price. The ginger sauce was nice and spicy. Three small tables and a street facing counter. People were in and out pretty quick. This is a very homey tasting dish! One caveat- do not recommend the matcha tea. The daikon soup was our favorite!!!

I got the fried chicken with rice and soup, and it was quite a simple meal. Chicken and rice were not bad, served with ordinary sweet chili sauce. The soup was tasty but not hot enough. Service could be more friendly. It was a nice surprise that the complementary water glass was flavored with lemons! Go if you crave a Thai version of fast food fried chicken meal.

Got the zabb chicken over rice and it was 10/10 truly don’t know how it could be so good. The soup was 11/10 incredible too. So homey and filling and amazing. The rice is so FRAGRANT. I LOVED it here.

There wasn't a lot of seating, but this is the perfect spot to grab a personal, calm meal. The Fried Chicken Rice was ready and slid in front of me at my seat within 5 minutes of ordering. It was hot and felt like exactly the food I needed in the moment. The daikon soup tasted clean and yet hearty. The cucumber was refreshing. There were only a few slices, so I wish it came with more. There was also a generous portion of fried chicken and rice. The chicken rice was flavorful and cooked just right, not too soggy or dry. The fried chicken was crispy.

Casual restaurant with a limited menu, specializing in hainanese chicken rice. The place is very small with some seatings in the front. You order and pay before getting your food. I got their specialty steamed chicken rice. The chicken was fresh, tender and lightly seasoned. The rice was perfectly cooked in chicken broth and full of umami. The sauce added a kick of saltiness that compliments the chicken and rice well. I appreciate that the chicken was already deboned and makes eating it easier. The soup on the side was also really good. I got a Thai tea as well and that tastes pretty standard but for a pretty good price. There's no AC inside, just a fan, so it does get sweltering in the summer.

Delicious and causal chicken rice place. You have a couple different styles to choose - steamed Hainan chicken, roasted chicken, or friend chicken. We got the fried chicken with fried rice. However, the fried rice was mostly white rice but toasted with some sesame oil. The dish is served with a side cucumber and a simple chicken soup. I don't think I would ever crave what I ate here but I would be interested in coming back to try the Hainan chicken next time.

One of my favorite cheap eats in Manhattan. I cannot explain how much I love this place. You go up to the counter to order and the food is ready within 5 minutes and served directly to your small table. And even though the restaurant itself is tiny, there always seems to be an open seat as people eat and leave very quickly. I ordered the Fried Chicken Rice and it was delicious!! Although there isn't a lot of chicken, the fried bits are fried to perfection as it isn't too oily and full of flavor. I especially liked dipping it into the sour and spicy sauce which elevated the chicken. The rice is also to die for as it is seeped with chicken broth, you can just eat this alone without anything else. Also, the soup is incredible as I love how much white pepper they put into the broth, the flavors are so incredibly intense. I love ME Chicken Rice. Probably top 10 favorite eats in NYC!

Cute and casual small spot good for lunch and dinner. They have a couple but limited chicken options. Their roasted and fried chicken options are pretty good. It tastes better than it looks in my opinion. And it pairs well with their sweet and tarty sauce. I think what enhanced this meal is the flavored rice. It has a hint of chicken flavor. Meal comes with soup which was a bit salty and a few pieces of cucumber. I also got their Thai tea with jelly boba.

Absolutely delicious daikon soup and ginger rice. Chicken was flavorful but some pieces were a little chewy. But Whatever! I loved it. And it was exactly what I was craving.

This is my second time at ME Chicken Rice and i'll definitely be coming back wayyy more! I got to try their "steamed chicken rice" ($11.95) and their "roasted chicken rice" ($13.95). My favorite was the steamed chicken rice. It comes with a very delicious house made ginger sauce that you could dip your chicken in and it just tingles my taste buds. The chicken also pairs nicely with the ginger rice and daikon soup. This is the perfect cheap, fast, and hearty meal to fill your tummy in the cold winter months. The only thing is that the store is small, so seating is very limited. I personally don't mind the smaller space, but would not recommend this place for a large party gathering.

The chicken rice here is SO good!! I was able to try all three types of chicken (fried chicken not shown) and my favorites, in order, were the roasted chicken, steamed chicken, and then the fried chicken. Don't get me wrong, the fried chicken (4/5) was really good, but a bit breaded. The roasted chicken (5/5) was super flavorful and the flavors from the chicken seeped into the chicken rice, and the steamed chicken (4.7/5) was way more tender and flavorful than I expected! I was also a huge fan of the daikon soup that came with it... it tasted so flavorful and not MSG-y at all, and the chicken rice was SO TASTY!! I would highly recommend coming here. We got takeout and it still tasted fresh an hour after we got it!

Really flavorful chicken and rice. Simple dishes with fresh and natural ingredients. Highly recommend

I've been craving some hainanese chicken for awhile and when looking for a spot, this came across my search. I was looking for a no frills place with some good flavor and that I got from ME Chicken Rice. Service was minimal where they just take your order and call it out. The place is super super small. We luckily got an open table right away. There were only really 3-4 entree options and it's how you want your chicken cooked - steamed, roasted or fried. We opted to share the roasted one because it was kinda in between. The chicken was moist, tender, and flavorful. It came with soup and chicken broth rice. Everything was so good! I can't wait to come back again.

Comfort food!!! The daikon soup was amazing, the ginger rice was fragrant and soft, and the chicken was sooo juicy. Dipping in the soy ginger sauce is a must. It also had chewy, bouncy skin that I did not expect but enjoyed very much. Quick and easy, for only $10.

These are some of the weirdest reviews I've seen in a while. It's like there's some bias or undue influence that I'm not aware of. To start, the pictures don't mesh with the insanely high average rating. Right? Not sure what others see, but to me it just looked like basic, bland, steamed chicken. I showed up at the restaurant. A fair price if you're too lazy to cook at home but it's basic, bland chicken and rice and soup. The (quarter? ish?) chicken is deboned but still has all the not-fun chewy parts. It also has that ever-so-slight sour taste that the cheapest grocery store chicken always has. I ordered potstickers which took 15 minutes to come out. They were crisped nicely but the inside of them tasted like the goo inside chicken nuggets. You might save $1-$2 here compared to Kebab Express or Cauldron Chicken, but you've gotta be kidding me.

Such a great deal near NYU! I got the No. 1 Steamed Chicken Rice ($11.95) and it was perfect. The portion size is large for the price and the service is super fast. The soup was warm and nicely seasoned and the chicken was moist! The rice is flavorful too . The sauce was a little sweet for my liking but it still complimented the chicken and rice well. I'll come back for a quick lunch!

Was really excited to try this place after discovering it and it didn't disappoint! I've had Hainan chicken before but never the Thai version. The menu is simple and straight forward. I got the steamed chicken but they also have roast and fried chicken options. The chicken is already deboned which is huge to me because one of my personal issues with Hainan chicken is having to deal with so much bone that it becomes too much work sometimes. This made eating it so much easier. The soup is good but the stars of the show are really the ginger rice and soy ginger dipping sauce. The rice is so flavorful and the sauce is a must. It adds some sweet and sour elements. The entire dish is well balanced with some fresh cucumber slices on the side. I'll definitely return to try the roast and fried options!

I love this place! It's a hole-in-the-wall, super affordable place. The no. 2 fried chicken over rice is delicious, and it comes with daikon soup. The portions are big, and I love the way the chicken is so crispy and goes perfectly with the subtly flavored rice. I also like their matcha green tea. The food comes out quickly, and the staff are friendly. There is limited seating, but there are very cute window counter seats.

So glad that this spot is here. I love the steamed chicken rice with gizzard and soup. The milk tea options are also good and complement the meal well. This is a small place but has enough tables to sit at if you can find a spot. The steamed chicken, rice and gizzard portion was a good size for one person and the Thai tea was great. Price is what you would expect in Manhattan in that area. Service was fast and easy as well...I'm definitely satisfied with this place.

Was really craving steamed chicken, rice, and soup. ME Chicken Rice delivered! Service was fast. The food came out shortly after ordering. I will mention that the store isn't too large so seating is a bit limited. I enjoyed the No. 1 Steamed Chicken Rice. The rice was flavored well and the chicken was solid. I really liked the side of soup it came with too. We also got a thai milk tea to drink which was decent. For its price, I think this worth checking out!

UHM... I really loved this chicken rice. I've had a number of chicken rice experiences over the past few years, and this one has been my favorite. This one is the Vietnamese rendition, that comes with a side of sweet dipping sauce. You can get your chicken steamed, roasted, or fried. I got mine steamed. The chicken was perfectly cooked and really flavorful. I really liked the side of dipping sauce it came with. My favorite part, the chicken rice... Was delicious. It was a ginger rice with amazing chicken flavor. It also came with a small cabbage soup, and I loved the broth. This is a pretty small establishment but you could get food to stay. My recommendation would be for takeout. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their other chicken rice dishes!

Khao mun gai here is delicious! Chicken is very tender, sauce is well done, and rice is fragrant. Definitely a great place for a khao mun gai craving.

So simple yet so good. Was not expecting steamed chicken and rice to be this flavorful. A great option for a quick lunch and not as pricey as surrounding spots. Also recommend the Thai ice tea. I also had the chicken rice soup on a different occasion and was exactly what I needed recovering from a cold. Place is tiny with limited seating. Service is fast.

West 3rd( awesome location ), get your people watch on.. Get your chicken here! I got Roasted chicken, was delicious and received as quickly as i ordered, get on the go. I've heard the soup and rice was delicious, looks amazing and was told by local sitting next to me. Small shop much like the smaller food shops around mcdougal, this location is great

We got the steamed chicken over rice for $12 each and it was delicious. It also came with soup which was also absolutely delicious and flavorful. The chicken dipped in the sauce made the dish and the sauce was perfect balance to the meal. The shop itself is super small but there's a few seats and some bar seats. Highly recommend price was good, food was great! Only thing is on a hot day there's no AC inside.

chicken rice in nyc. You can have a lot of choice here. The price is good and location is convenient. Place is comfortable and service is sweet.

They specialize in one thing and that's the khao mun gai. Stumbled upon this place and can confirm it's very authentic (chefs in the back are Thai) So happy I found this place

Cheap and delicious khao mun gai!! The chicken is steamed and super soft, and it comes with ginger soy sauce and broth with daikon on the side. It also comes with other chicken parts, like liver. The space is very small and seating is limited, but service is very fast and seats move quickly. Highly recommend this place, they only have four main dishes on the menu for a reason!

This was a great quick, affordable and delicious meal in the city! The restaurant is a bit small with limited seating, but the service was quick. I ordered the No. 1 Steamed Chicken Rice and it came with warm soup, which paired well with the chicken rice and the gloomy weather outside. Overall, I have no complaints of this place and would definitely come again!

The staff were friendly, the food were made fast after we ordered. We got the number 1 steamed chicken rice and number 3 roasted chicken rice. The roasted chicken rice tastes better than the steamed chicken rice. We also ordered pinky milky and chrysanthemum tea with boba jelly ($1.50 extra for each). First reaction on the drinks, although the drinks cost $3.5 (without the boba) the size felt small. The chrysanthemum tea tastes like Vita box drink and pinky milky tastes like Melona strawberry ice cream. There's three tables seating and stool seatings by the window.

I first tried ME Chicken Rice at an NYU event, and I knew it was going to be good because the rice smelled divine. Is that weird? The rice is not your usual white rice, it's sooo flavorful. I knew I had to go back to try it again, so I visited the actual restaurant a few days later. I personally love the fried chicken option the most, followed by the steamed option (reminiscent of Hainanese style), and then the roasted option (it's very peppery). When you order at the restaurant, your platter comes with the rice, chicken, delicious soup (spiced with white pepper and a piece of winter melon) and a couple slices of cucumber. There's not much seating available at the restaurant, but we were able to find seats at the window (fun to people watch). We really enjoyed our meal, and appreciated that the restaurant also sells bubble tea (but these are premade, so you can't control the sugar level).

I made the mistake of ordering the standard boiled chicken. It comes with the fat and skin of the chicken which is a texture I don't prefer. I would like to return to try one of their other options. The soup, the rice, the ginger sauce, and the chicken meat were all quite good. I'll be back to change my order.

I ordered the chicken and rice soup ($11.95). It wasn't bad and was very homemade and comforting. It is a very simple place where you order and they bring to you and then you clean your own tray preferably. I believe it is family owned. I would possibly come back and get the chicken and rice separately from the soup. It really is a eat and leave type of place. When I was eating there, I did see a lot of takeout orders being placed.

This is gourmet level s, living in upper town, and this place is my go-to if I visit lower town, and I will order a dozen of variety of food at once and store in my fridge lol the food is on-point, so is the vibe, I went to this shop countless times, each experience is just pleasant. This little shop deserves every single bliss If you are looking for Thai hainan chicken rice, look no further, the best in town

first time having hainanese chicken and wow. we tried the steamed and roasted chicken options - exceptionally juicy and moist! the sauces on the steamed had the perfect kick and the skin on the roasted was almost duck like with how crisp it was. the chicken fat rice had been described to me as silky and didn't understand what that meant until i tried it - so good! the staff was so nice and the spot was so cute and no frills.

Stopped by this place because of how many positive reviews there were! The space is small but you can dine in with a smaller group. The service is super quick and the menu is not long so it was easy to pick something. There is not a chicken dish that you could go wrong with. I would recommend all three of the main chicken dishes. It was so well priced and each meal came with a soup that was also super delicious and clean. The drinks were also well priced and tasted good. This is a place I would definitely come back to for a lunch. It is easy to eat there and it is easy to take to go.

Decent little spot with affordable, pretty solid food, quick service. I think there were about 3 tables for dine in so the place isn't very big and almost like a self service restaurant. They bring out the food to you and that's it. I would say this would be a great spot for a quick lunch. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed the soup the most haha and the steamed chicken was also pretty good out of all of them.

Cute little chicken and rice shop. Food is delicious and came out fairly quickly. I got the fried chicken rice - chicken was cooked well and rice was well seasoned. Daikon soup is good as well. Great for lunch!!

Fast and friendly service. Love the signature dish Steamed Chicken rice that come with ginger sauce. Clean and cool decorations .

So this sounds like a familiar refrain. Jamie W. and I were finishing our second cocktails at The Duplex, so let's just say we were feeling no pain, Mr. Maine (review: https://bit.ly/3SL3x3A). However, we were feeling those familiar munchies when an excess of alcohol somehow made us think our stomachs disappeared. We were thinking about returning to Jack's Wife Freda (review: https://bit.ly/3NcTseB). We had quite a good meal there just a few months ago, but then I found this spot on Yelp and got excited at the prospect of having khao mun gai in the West Village. It turned out to be a small space, typical Village walk-up size, but there was an open table for us. I liked how they offered roasted and fried chicken options and even wings, but that didn't sway us. We both ordered the $11.95 #1 Steamed Chicken Rice (photo: https://bit.ly/3gOGiZ1). Why? Because that's what was meant to be. It was a hearty bowl covered liberally with savory boneless steamed chicken sliced but not skinned. Hey, I'm no martyr. I was thrilled it came with slow cooked pieces of liver and gizzards. All of it came over ginger-infused rice and was drizzled with a lot of tasty garlic-ginger sauce. There was a cup of hot daikon soup provided on the side. You would think that would have been enough, and if we were sober, it would've been. However, we noticed they sold a $4.95 plate of French Fries (photo: https://bit.ly/3TYSIfb), and well, we needed fries. Like real bad. I can barely remember eating them at this point as I assumed we didn't bother chewing them on their way down our gullets. What a happy find. I'm sure we would've been thrilled even if they made us take a breathalyzer test. FOOD - 5 stars...a fine khao mun gai with fries on the side AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact spot but enough room for us and three slender Gen Z types SERVICE - 4 stars...kudos for understanding our slurred speech and over enthusiastic praise TOTAL - 5 stars...LA has Savoy Kitchen (review: http://bit.ly/2KLT08s), so this could be NYC's response RELATED - Hungry in NYC? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2YS9ELs

Quick service. Tender chicken, aromatic rice and a great daikon soup! Small shop with 3 tables and 3 stools at a bartop. Wish I had one near me :') Came to $20 for a chrysanthemum tea and No. 3

Solid food. They serve exactly what they say they serve. Enjoyed my steamed chicken and rice. It came out fast. Service was quick, efficient. This is a quick eat no frills place.

Just worth it. Delicious. Had the steamed chicken and the Thai iced tea. Will go back.

Had tickets for a show at the blue note and wanted a dinner that wasn't too fancy or lengthy but still had an area to sit down ( though keep in mind, this place is small, with only seating for about ~15 people max). I did the risky "sort by rating" move and saw that this place had over 100 reviews and was at 5 stars!! Needless to say, I was intrigued. My date and I got the most popular steamed chicken plate, and then a combo roast chicken and fried chicken plate. Both meals come with rice and a small side soup. My favorite by far was the roast chicken - it had a little more flavor to it compared to the steamed, but wasn't overpowered by it (such as the fried chicken). That being said, I would GLADLY HAPPILY EAGERLY eat any of these again. Chicken is just cooked, so that it's incredible tender and soft. Despite keeping the skin on, none of the chicken were overly fatty or greasy tasting (including the fried). The rice was sticky and cooked perfectly; the soup basic and satisfying with a huge hunk of daikon in it like a delicious vegetable matzoh ball surprise. I will say, the only think I wouldn't order again is the Thai coffee- nothing special, just sorta sweet and milky, no distinct flavor. All in all, this place is worthy of its 5 star rating and I would recommend AND go again myself.

2nd visit: 02/2023 We missed this little shop so we dropped by today. This time, we went here in the afternoon. The shop was filled with many customers. They have high chairs next to the large glass window to look over the 3rd ave. The food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely went back here soon. -------------------- 1st visit: 01/2023 We dropped by this restaurant close to the time they close. We bought Roasted Chicken over rice and a side of roasted chicken. The food was amazing. The chicken was very tender and tasty. The rice was very authentic and flavorful. We think they cooked the rice with chicken broth, which made the rice so yummy. The star of the dish was the ginger sauce. Totally recommend. The portion was large. The set will come with Daikon soup. It is the Asian culture to have a simple soup with a heavy meal. The staff made our food really quick and was very friendly. The restaurant space is pretty small but very cozy and bright. The minus point was that they don't have rest room. That was the reason we decided to have the food to go rather than sit in.

This is a hole in the wall type, homey spot. There are 3 tables and some window barstools. I usually get the steamed hainanese chicken and my bf gets the fried chicken. The garlic sauce that comes with the hainanese chicken is so flavorful and yummy. If you love garlic, this sauce is great. It also comes with a small bowl of clear daikon soup. The fried chicken comes with sweet chili sauce. It's not oily and has a great crisp. Staff is friendly. I crave this spot all the time!

I'm ALWAYS thrilled to see more Southeast Asian fare in the city, so I had to try the Steamed Chicken Rice. Coming out to $14 after tax, it's a reasonable price for Greenwich Village. I enjoyed the chicken, with its firmness and silky outer skin layer. You have to mix a few spoonfuls of the soup into the rice to give it the flavor it desperately needs, which is how the rice should taste to begin with (if we're upholding Hainanese Chicken Rice standards). My friend, who's Cantonese, found it only passable; she has the privilege of having it homemade by her parents on a regular basis. She said the chicken should be more tender and flavorful.

Think Hainanese chicken but make it Thai. the chicken rice bowls are really nice and large portions. They also come with a delicious daikon side soup that tasted like a cross between miso and chicken soup. That soup was delicious! This place is small and easy to walk past and miss. I would recommend it for a quick lunch. there's only about two or three tables. It's conveniently located across the street from Blue Note off the West 4 train station.

Stumbled on this place randomly got the roasted chicken very good very surprised. Will definitely return if I'm in the neighborhood and in the mood for chicken and rice.

3.5 Stars. Not the best but solid. Quite smaller portions than I'm accustomed to and the chicken was too thin to be really juicy. The sauces were great as was the broth.

I'm going to keep this brief. I've had almost everything on their menu, and they don't sell a bad dish. Their chicken is better than most Michelin star chicken I've had. Chicken? Rice? People who aren't familiar with this concept may find this description lackluster. But they couldn't be more wrong. This may be some of the best chicken rice you've had in your life. Eating at this restaurant should be a bucket list item for anyone with a sense of smell and taste.
