"The menu at this decades-old Alhambra restaurant is long—you’ll find anything from creamy mushroom pasta to shrimp pizza to escargot—but there’s no debate they’re best known for their hainan chicken. So much so that it’s painted along the side of the parking garage—“Famous Hainan Chicken since 1982.” The dish itself is pretty simple. You won’t find any accouterments or bone broths here, but instead, a simple presentation of poached chicken, rice, and three colorful sauces. The ginger garlic sauce here is particularly garlicky (ask for extra)." - sylvio martins, kat hong, brant cox
