A Ma Chicken Rice

We were planning to have sushi but I walked into the wrong shop. But the smell was so good that we changed plans and ate here instead. Then we realized this is the famous chicken rice place that our friend recommended. It did not disappoint. We prefer the classic over the crispy chicken but if you’re undecided, try the mixed option. My dry noodle was just spicy enough. Condiments at the table were also good.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon before Memorial Day, and there was a line outside the door. Instead of being discouraged I thought they must be serving some really delicious food inside. We went next door to the bakery and did a little shopping at H Mart to pass the time after putting our names down to reserve the table. We got our table a little over half and hour later. The Thai iced tea arrived before the foods; it wasn't too sweet, and not too light on the tea, it was delicious! I ordered the combo chicken and rice plate, my son opt for the crispy one. My husband got the Phnom Penh noodle soup, my other son got the dry noodle; broth on the side. The foods all arrived less than 10 minutes after we put in our orders so we were happy not have to wait long for it. Oh, my gosh, crispy chicken was cooked to perfection without being dried out; the steamed chicken reminded me of the ones I had in Singapore. Delicious with just a drizzle of the dipping sauce on top of rice and chicken. Everyone else was happy with their foods. I def want to come here again when in the areas.

Amazing food. Tried this place after a long time and the food is quite delicious. Tried the chicken rice and it comes with sides of soup, salad and two sauces. The sauces are delicious too. There is always a wait time to get seated at the restaurant and it’s easier to get in on a weekday instead of weekend. The wait time on a weekday was maybe around 5 minutes for a table for 2.

Finally tried this place after hearing about it from many locals and loved it! A bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it. Went with family and we got the classic chicken rice and spicy dry noodle with fried chicken. The food tasted wonderful and arrived in a timely manner. The display was also really neat and aesthetic and the interior was really nice as well. Definitely join the waitlist while you are around 6-7 miles away for shorter waiting times since the lines do get very long. This place is a must visit!!

Restaurant is popular so there is a waitlist. They use the yelp waitlist stand. Easy to use and they text or call you if you’re next. Everyone needs to be present before siting. My entire party wasn’t there yet but the owner was very accommodating to my party being late and said to let him know when everyone was here and he can remember to add us back in line. Combo chicken rice is a solid choice to try 2 styles of chicken. I got the crispy chicken and it was so deliciously battered and fried. Portions were great and so many sauce and topping choices! I loved it all. Water cups are good sizes. No complains. Definitely recommend a group of 2-4 to come! Ordering is by table QR code. Love the app since everyone can order on their phones and send out orders at different times as well as choose to sneakily pay for everyone at the table at any time. Food comes out quick! Very efficient restaurant. Simple menu, cute decor.

The Hainan chicken rice here used to be one of my favorites, but the portion of chicken has noticeably shrunk over time. The flavor is still good — tender chicken, fragrant rice, and a nice trio of sauces. But it’s a bit disappointing to see less meat each visit. Hope they can bring back the generous portions!

I absolutely loved this chicken, I got the combo and did not regret it whatsoever! I really liked the combination of the crispy chicken and then the poached chicken! The sauces are what really took the prize, usually I don’t like boiled chicken, but I felt like the sauce is especially the garlic one really made the chicken feel special! I also loved that they had the broth on the side as well, which added a very nice touch and the pickled vegetables were a great addition as well! The reason I give service four out of five stars is because I don’t want to go to a restaurant and just order off of my phone and not have an experience of interacting with a waiter …. Why even go out to dinner and tip if you’re not even going to have any interaction with the servers?? The atmosphere itself was nice beside the service, the tables were pretty close together though, so it was kind of loud at times! I would definitely come back again for the chicken though!!!

Got the classic chicken rice. Silky soft chicken, rice was yummy, the sauces were excellent. Portion was very large, I had a whole serving to take home. only issue i had was they have no A/C and it was about 78 degrees outside. Service was straight forward, you order from your phone and pay from your phone, very little interaction.

I love this place. Fresh, tasty, and fast! We always get takeout and it's ready within 10 minutes. The noodle soup, classic chicken, and crispy chicken are all excellent. Sauces are pretty good too except for the ginger scallion sauce (not a fan). Generous portions and great for sharing too.

A Ma Chicken Rice is located near HMart and the Redmond Town Center. I usually park for free near the BJ's brewhouse restaurant but of course you could park near HMart as well. A Ma Chicken Rice is busy every time I have went! First visit the wait was about 20 minutes but the second visit we waited only 5 minutes. My friend and I love this place! The ambiance is very relaxed vibes. They play good music, everyone is enjoying their food, and the decor is bright. The restaurant is beautiful making it almost feel homey and just an overall comfortable and enjoyable experience. Service is quick and friendly. The first time I visited I ordered a Thai iced tea with the Kuy Teav noodle soup. The Thai iced tea was delicious and so was the noodle soup. I am not a big fan of pork so unfortunately I didn't finish my dish as it was a bit much for me and personal preference I'm just not a big eater of pork. I tried my friend's dish which was the Crispy Chicken Rice and it was so damn good that I said I needed that next time! Next time my friend and I hung out of course we had to come here again! The food is sooo good! I got the Thai iced tea again and this time got the Crispy Chicken Rice. Everything was perfect! I loved dipping my chicken into the broth :) My friend this time ordered the a ma dried noodles and I tried some. The noodles look like they'd be spicy but to be honest they had a sweet taste to it. My friend enjoyed their dish very much but I thought it was a bit sweet for my liking but again personal preference. Definitely recommend the Crispy Chicken Rice and Thai iced tea. So bomb! Can't wait to return and have my boyfriend try this restaurant. The food is delicious!

So glad I had a chance to stop by with coworkers during lunch here. A friend's great recommendation. We all ordered the combo chicken to try out the poached and crispy version. Both were so so good, I loved all the sauces that the chicken came with. There was this ginger sauce that was really good. The soup was also the perfect balance. Definitely coming back! You could order via the QR code on the tables or give your order to the staff. Restaurant had a good amount of seating and they are only open for lunch!

I'm so glad my family told me about this place. They brought back to go boxes of the combo chicken rice. The classic chicken was so juicy, tender, and soft! It is the closest "Hainanese chicken" I have had since visiting Singapore Hawker stands. It isn't a long wait, but they are pretty quick with serving. The ambiance is family style. Even though the combo chicken to go was given to us an hour later the crispy chicken was still decently crispy. We heard that if you eat it right away there it is even better. Next time we visit we can't wait to try it in person while it is still hot. The sauces here are to die for. I dipped the red chili fish sauce like sauce with the classic chicken while the brown sauce I dipped with the crispy chicken. It was so addicting!

I've visited twice and tried the combo chicken rice, crispy chicken, and the Thai tea. I personally like the crispy chicken the most. The Thai tea is great and very flavorful, and it is not overwhelmingly sweet. I liked the orange sauce more than the dark brown one. The crispy chicken was good and I can definitely see myself becoming a regular.

I was in the area and so I decided to stop by. We came 30 minutes after they open and it was busy. The place is small in the first place so everything just seems a little cramped. I got the classic chicken and rice and it was as good as I remember it. I love how soft and tender the Chicken is and how fragrant the rice was. Definitely one of my favorite chicken and rice in the area. The price point is definitely on the higher end in my opinion. I definitely need to try their noodle dishes next time as they look good as well.

I finally made a trip up north to try A Ma chicken and rice. I love all styles of chicken and rice from all different Asian food cuisines. So, I was very excited ro finally try the chicken and rice here. I ordered the combo half fried and half poached over their flavored rice and salad that came with a side of soup, pickled veggies and some dipping sauces. The chicken and rice combo is a very big portion that could probably be divided into 2 servings. But it was so good that I finished the entire dish. My favorite was the poached chicken. The fried chicken was a bit dry. Food also came out super fast. We sat down and ordered by scanning the QR code on the table and within 10 minutes our food came. The seating tables are really close to one another and it did feel crammed. So I'd probably order take out next time.

A Ma Chicken Rice restaurant is located in downtown Redmond, WA, and serves an interesting combination of Hainanese chicken rice on the menu with added traditional Cambodian noodle soup. Our family had an Sunday dinner here, being able to dine with my daughter/son-in-law's small dog in their makeshift outdoor dining space. It was enjoyable. We seated ourselves outside, and got a couple of laminated menus before ordering at the inside register (the food is brought out to you). It's a very focused menu, with either a chicken rice set or noodle soups. They have hainan chicken here, called the classic chicken rice ($19). It wasn't good, with the rice being overwhelmed by garlic flavor, instead of tasting like chicken broth/fat simmered with aromatics. The chicken was poached (like it should) but wasn't as delicately flavorful as what I've had at other Hainan chicken places. The crispy chicken rice set ($19) replaces the poached chicken with crispy deep fried chicken, and it tasted fine, albeit the same situation with the rice. We also tried their Cambodian noodle soups: Phnom Penh Noodle Soup ($19). The pork broth was good, obviously having been made from pork bones and expertly prepared, not needing any condiments. It came with various meats, including liver and heart, which adds a bit of mineraliness which I like (in moderation). We can get really good Cambodian noodle soup in Long Beach, and this version in Redmond was solid.

We'd been meaning to come to this restaurant because it appeared intriguing. There was a line when we got here and put our names on the waitlist - it shows up on Yelp and lets you know as the line gets shorter. The tables were packed closely together and it was a little hard to get around in the restaurant. We ordered 2 of the most popular dishes here - one of the original chicken and rice & one of the crispy chicken and rice. All the food was delicious and the service was good and fast.

A small and cozy restaurant with a very limited menu. Not necessarily a bad thing. We tried the combo plate (fried and poached chicken with 2 sauces, rice and chicken broth soup) and the wet noodles with an assortment of meat. There were quite a bit of condiments on the table (hoisin, rooster sauce, and then 3 glass jars of chili paste, marinaded garlic cloves in vinegar, and some other green sauce which tasted like finely minced ginger and garlic). Years ago I visited Nong's in Portland OR where she only served poached chicken and rice. What stood out to me was the sauce. I had hoped to experience that at A Ma but it fell short. There were 2 sauces: one looked like a sweet chili sauce but had fish sauce in it. The other darker sauce my daughter commented was like a plum sauce base. The pork noodle soup was very reminiscent of a pho with thin rice noodles and meatball, liver, shrimp and maybe brisket. But all of the meat was really tough. They served it with bean sprouts, jalapeños and lime wedges. The combo chicken was decent but nothing terribly memorable. I liked the rice and the pickled vegetables. Both preparations of the chicken weren't bad, but they weren't great either (quite bland) as I think the idea is to dip it in the sauces. Overall I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I need to try it again. The food was just average in taste and quality.

Small restaurant. Great, efficient service. No frills just good food. You can join the waitlist on Yelp. Big portions. Combo hainan chicken and fried chicken was $21. Menu is short so no decision fatigue. I loved all the sauces and the option to use them. Order on QR code, then send your order to the kitchen. Pay once you're done via phone. One combo fed both my girls as well as myself. There's always been a line out the door so I was curious to try this place. I'm glad I finally did. This place is so good! They also have high chairs for babies. They provided plastic utensils and paper serving bowls for them, including closed top lids for water.

Ok, well that's the best fried chicken and rice I have ever had! We went on a Friday night expecting that we would need to join the waitlist on Yelp, but we were able to walk right in and get a table. We ordered online from the table and paid online too and food came out quickly. If you are around Redmond Town Center, you should definitely be going here!

The restaurant itself feels a little crowded and the service isn't the best but the food makes up for it! I love ordering the combo because you get to have a little bit of both. Flavor and texture is always to my liking! Idk how to explain it but the dish just feels so comforting. I love how I don't feel extremely bloated and gross afterwards lol. It's just a perfect amount of full.

Admittedly I'm not a huge Hainanese chicken fan, but I would come back here 10/10 times for their Crispy Chicken and chicken fat-infused rice. It's wild how well they do it. Both accompanying ginger sauce and sweet chili sauce are perfect to dip in for an extra flavor kick. Their A Ma Dried noodles are just ok, but pales compared to their chicken dishes. The soup broth is very light and provides a refreshing contrast to their heavy flavors; pretty underrated. I've dined in and done plenty of take out orders and the wait times are minimal. Overall I'd highly recommend this spot.

More Chicken, More Rice! If annual food trends were a thing, 2025 would be year of the chicken rice dish! Here is yet ANOTHER chicken & rice dish restaurant - this time, in Redmond, WA called A Ma Chicken Rice. Essentially they got 2 dishes here: chicken and rice, and chicken with noodles. You can get the chicken poached, fried, or a mix. I am a HUGE fan of the fried chicken counterpart (as opposed to the poached, which is still good to be clear), with its breading and crunch. #foodasmr The noodles are a nice change if you want to mix it up. Plus, your noods gots minced pork inside. They have pickled garlic at your table if you need something tangy to go with the chicken or the classic chili sauce to give your dish a spicy kick. For seating, they have both indoors and outdoors, though if you sit outside like I did, you might have to deal with a hungry wasp or 2. Indoor has pretty eclectic decor, with an ancient-looking typewriter and cash register. Comparing this place with Aroy Mak, I like the fried/roast chicken here better (and with Aroy Mak they have multiple rice-themed desserts so I'm more of a fan of their sweets at Aroy) and it's probably better than most places that serve fried chicken & rice dishes.

I've wanted to try A Ma Chicken Rice since it opened, and I'm glad I finally did. My friend and I shared the combo chicken rice (had both steamed and fried chicken) and we both enjoyed it a lot. You could opt to add a bowl of broth with your food, so we did that. We both appreciated being able to try both kinds of chicken because they were so good but different from each other. Personally, I enjoyed the steamed chicken more (and I'm biased because it's something I grew up eating), and my friend enjoyed the fried chicken more so it worked out really well. She liked the pickled veggies on the side, and I couldn't stop eating the rice; it was so good. The portion size was good for the two of us since we wanted something lighter rather than an entree each. We sat outside because it was a nice day and didn't require a wait. There was a bee that kept bothering us by trying to steal our food, so I'd want to sit inside in the future. Definitely looking forward to more chicken here.

I was exploring what good food I could get in downtown Redmond because I was planning to go for an event and thought, I might as well get something yummy, and found A Ma Chicken Rice! It's nice that they open at 11am so that you can avoid the lunch rush. I went right around opening time. There were 3-4 groups of customers seated already but the place was still like half empty. I thought the waiter was friendly but was rushing around for no reason. In fact, they got my order wrong - I ordered the classic chicken rice to go and I went home to find out they gave me crispy chicken instead. Crispy chicken was actually pretty good so I was ok (except some dry chicken pieces here and there), but I wish the staff took his time to confirm that he got the order right. I also wish they gave me more of the sauce because it wasn't enough. I should've asked to replace the sweet chili sauce with the other sauce.

We enjoyed the meal overall!! Here's the breakdown! Food wise: The chicken overall is very tender, and there's no bones! So it is convenient to eat. The chicken itself lacks some flavor though, without the sauce it's not super flavorful. That's the main reason it doesn't get a full 5 star. The soup could also be hotter too, it will probably make the broth taste even better! Good portion size though, it was plenty to eat for us. Ambiance: it is a smaller restaurant but the decorations are unique and nice! A good amount of tables with a couple more tables outside. Waited a little for a table but glad they were busy! Service: it was pretty quick! Staff were friendly, and the food came out relatively quick!

I love the vibes of the restaurant. It's small and reminds me of those mom and pop shops in Malaysia. We got the crispy chicken, regular hainese chicken, and the chicken broth noodle soup. The last option to pick was the dry noodles and I rly wish I tried it because everything was great. Surprisingly my favorite was the crispy chicken. I usually don't care for chicken nor fried items but it wasn't over battered, wasn't over friend, the chicken was still moist and it had a good chicken to crust ratio. The full dinner plates come with 3 sauces, small side of pickled veggies and a chicken broth. The small bowl of chicken broth was very soothing and complimented the meal well. The hainese chicken had enough meat on it and perfectly soft. The chicken noodle broth is different from the broth that comes with the rice plates. It was excellently infused with garlic, very flavorful and heart with chicken liver and more. The reason why I had to deduct one star was because of the side items. The rice was not fragrant enough and the scallion ginger sauce was overpowered with ginger which is not how it should be. I also wish the sweet chili sauce was a bit sweeter. But overall a really delicious find.

We decided to visit A Ma Chicken Rice for a weekday lunch right when the opened. We arrived just a couple of minutes after 11 and somehow there were already 3 tables occupied! We weren't entirely sure how the order process works, so we sat down at the table and pulled up the QR code ordering system before the waitress came over and took our order in person. I guess both ways are fine with them. When there's only 7 main items on the menu, it has to be good. We ended up ordering one rice dish and one noodle dish. Much like hawker stalls in SE Asia, the food seems like it's all precooked in the morning and all they have to do during service is assemble the plates. It's almost like fast food, so it takes 5 minutes or less to come out. Combo Chicken Rice ($21) - Starting with the sides: firstly, there's a quick pickled mix of cabbage and thinly sliced cucumber. It's on the sweet side, but is also tangy and gives plenty of crunch. Next to that are two dipping sauce. The first seems like a mixture of sriracha, fish sauce and aromatics, leaning more heavily towards the ginger. It first starts with a heavily fish saucy flavors, then a mild spiciness starts to build. There's another sauce next door that seems to be a hoisin sauce mixed with similar aromatics, very savory, salty, and gingery. To the right of that is a bowl of broth. The menu calls it a "light broth." While it's certainly lighter in color, the flavor is a distinctively heavy umami, but not exceptionally salty. It's like a light vegetable broth, possibly enhanced with chicken powder, with a heaping spoonful of msg crystals mixed in. It's one of the most savory things I've eaten recently, albeit not especially chicken-forward in flavor. Onto the main plate, where there's firstly a light salad of mixed greens with thick cut cucumber. It's a refreshing side for what comes next: a mound of some of the best rice and chicken one could ask for. The combo comes with both types of chicken. The crispy is the lesser of the two. It's fried in a lightly crisp batter which seems to be rice flour based. The chicken meat is pounded flat in some areas, but still has thickness in others, resulting in a somewhat uneven fry. It's dry in general, but the flat portions are especially tough to chew. If I had ordered solely the fried chicken, I would have been underwhelmed. The poached chicken, on the other hand, is literally perfect. It's moist, succulent, juicy, tender, silky smooth, with no hint of dry or tough meat. The skin is excellently rendered, making it gelatinous, slippery and bouncy, but not chewy at all. It's so chickeny in flavor. Words cannot describe how enamored I am with this chicken. And yet with how perfect the poached chicken is, it's not even the best item on the plate! The rice, glistening and shimmering with chicken fat, has the perfect sticky, bitey, yet soft, fatty, yet not oily, mouthfeel. Flavorwise, it's fragrant and lightly aromatic with garlic and ginger. It's one of the most rich, yet not heavy, rice dishes that I've had in a while. Based on the somewhat mediocrity of the crispy chicken, the classic chicken set is where it's at. The poached chicken/chicken rice is honestly better than any Hainanese Chicken Rice I've eaten, including in Singapore and Hong Kong (although, as a disclaimer, I don't have that many under my belt to begin with). (5/5) Kuy Teav ($19) - I can't say I've had this dish before. It's really reminiscent of pho, but with a lighter broth base and different meats on top. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly, firm and bouncy, albeit served in a bit of an enmeshed mess at the bottom of the bowl, necessitating the use of a chopstick in each hand to untangle. There's plenty of meat placed on top - enough so that the noodles can't be seen through it. It's a creative mix of beefy and bouncy meat balls, sweet and tender shrimp, thinly sliced fatty pork, small balls of ground pork, pasty, gritty, and irony pork liver, and chewy pork heart. Lots of different textures and flavors to chew through. The broth is salty and somewhat savory, although not nearly as concentrated umami as the side broth that comes with the rice dishes. I'd say it's a bit more vegetable-forward vs. meaty and doesn't really have the rich taste of roasted chicken or pork bones. Still plenty savory and a joy to sip on! On the side, the noodles come with a plate of fresh bean sprouts, jalapenos, and a lime wedge. Interestingly, they cut the bean sprouts into more manageable sections to eat instead of leaving them whole. This does make it a bit harder to transfer them to the broth though! (5/5) A Ma Chicken Rice does get crowded as the day goes on. We walked past the shop again at around 12:30 and there were a couple of people waiting outside for seats. Overall I found the food be to be outstanding. This is a must revisit anytime I'm in Redmond. It's solidly in my top 10 favorite restaurants of the year so far. Bathrooms - One unisex room

This is a fairly fast spot perfect for weekday lunch breaks. I went here solo around 12pm on a Monday and while busy, the turnover is fast and I waited no more than a minute to have the table cleaned and get seated. I got the combo chicken rice - the crispy chicken + classic chicken. It is served with pickled vegetables and chicken soup. It is fairly filling at $21 before tax and tip, so okay price. I liked the sauces that came with it - the garlic ginger and sweet and sour, both of which paired well with both chicken variations. The chicken rice is pretty flavorful and pairs well with the meat. I had an issue with how the seating arrangement is set up, as the turnover is high so there are a lot of opening and closing the door. Half the restaurant will be blown with cold air for most of the year every minute or so, or even more often, worse in the fall/winter/spring when it is colder, so dining in is not the most comfortable experience. While there is service, it felt more like a fast casual spot as they give you only a cup of water with no refills and they bring the food out and that's about it. You pay online or at the front, both costing the same. Overall, good food and fast service, though the seating could be improved.

Such a tasty casual spot for Hainan chicken in Redmond! It's a small restaurant, so it was hard to maneuver through. It's also self-service, where you grab a seat and order/pay through the QR code on the table. The menu's short and sweet since as they specialize in the few dishes. We tried the two popular options - the classic and the combo chicken rice set (which includes both the classic and crispy chicken). The food was delicious, and I especially loved the chili sauce it comes with. Service was super quick too!

We got A Ma Chicken Rice via to-go since we were coming from Seattle and it they had earlier closing on Wednesdays. They close at 4PM weekdays and 9PM on weekends, which I think is quite inconvenient since their food is so good! We ordered the Crispy Chicken Rice and Kuy Teav w/ Soup on the side. These were phenomenal! Since we took the food to-go we decided to eat on one of tables in Redmond Town Center. It was so hot outside but the food was worth it! The Crispy Chicken Rice was juicy and paired well with the sauces provided. I don't know how you can fail at making a good Chicken Rice but A Ma does it pretty well! The Kuy Teav was super good too! Unlike other Kuy Teav's I've had this one had a pretty strong seafood/ shrimp broth and it was so comforting. We are going to try and eat in next time because I would like to try the food with some of the other condiments that are at the tables.

Free street parking, no wait for early dinner on a Saturday, and food came out quick after ordering. The QR code for ordering didn't work at our first table for some reason, so we just switched tables. But overall quick and easy ordering and service. Classic chicken rice: super tender chicken, tasty rice, and amazing broth. I could drink A LOT of this broth. The pickled veg was nice in between bites and each sauce was very different. I preferred a little of the spicy fish sauce one with the ginger that's provided at the table. I ate a lot of the ginger scallion oil. Eek, it's just so yummy! A ma dried noodles: WOW this dish packs the flavor. This was really tasty, porky, slightly spicy, and the crispy chicken on top gives great texture. Highly recommend this dish. Also beware, you get oily lips after eating this one. I would get these two dishes again! Having a mix of steamed chicken and crispy chicken and having the variety of sauces to dip your chicken in is a huge plus!

Casual and quick as you order via your phone from a QR code. The menu is simple with options for poached, crispy, or combo chicken and rice. All chicken plates come with some pickles, a light broth that might've healed me, and a sweet and a spicy sauce. I also love that the table is stocked with various condiments to dress up your chicken dishes. I especially loved the ginger scallion oil and pickle garlic to help work as a palate cleanser. I ended up sharing a combo plate with another person and it ended up being a great amount for a comforting lunch.

Really good chicken and rice! Came here on Friday around 7 and waited 20 min to be seated. Service is super fast, menu is limited, and I love that their condiments are on the table (ginger scallion, chili oil, pickled garlic) for you to serve yourself. I got the classic chicken while my partner got the combo (crispy/boiled). You get a lot of chicken with the meal and while the crispy one is good, I don't know that I could eat an entire order of it. Rice is super flavorful and love the presentation. Broth was ok, not super hot. Overall would come back again forsure! Skip the add ons, we got extra the pickled vegetables and didn't know the meal already came with it. The portion for the pickled veggies are also in a dipping sauce tray.

If you want to get your Hainanese chicken fix, then look no further than A-Ma Chicken Rice! It's a small space, with limited seating, so be warned there may be a wait during prime time. Additionally, the menu is short and sweet - just about 6 dishes were offered. We came just for the Hainanese Chicken Rice dish, initially I ordered it crispy, and my hubby ordered the combo. The rice is flavored with the Hainanese aromatics (garlic, ginger, broth) and the crispy chicken is crispy, breaded lightly, and still juicy. The steamed chicken is cooked to perfection and moist. Honestly, I should have ordered the steamed chicken (which I did next time), I found it more flavorful and tasty. There are condiments on the table and you can add flavor as you wish - they also add these when you order take out. We also noticed that a lot of customers were ordering the noodle dishes - it's on our list for our next visit!

Hands down the BEST chicken and rice restaurant in Washington. I crave this place all the time. Not pictured are the crispy chicken and classic rice dish, my husband and I usually order both and split them. The sauces are amazing and complement the chicken perfectly, and the rice is super flavorful on its own. We also tried the dry-style Phnom Penh noodles (Kit Teav Kouk) and pork bone broth, both were so good. Service is quick, food is consistent, and honestly, I just hope they open more locations in the future!

Restaurant is popular so there is a waitlist. They use the yelp waitlist stand. Easy to use and they text or call you if you're next. Everyone needs to be present before siting. My entire party wasn't there yet but the owner was very accommodating to my party being late and said to let him know when everyone was here and he can remember to add us back in line. Combo chicken rice is a solid choice to try 2 styles of chicken. I got the crispy chicken and it was so deliciously battered and fried. Portions were great and so many sauce and topping choices! I loved it all. Water cups are good sizes. No complains. Definitely recommend a group of 2-4 to come! Ordering is by table QR code. Love the app since everyone can order on their phones and send out orders at different times as well as choose to sneakily pay for everyone at the table at any time. Food comes out quick! Very efficient restaurant. Simple menu, cute decor.

Fast service due to limited menu of just Hainan Chicken. The two types of chicken are both delicious, try both with the combo meal! The pork bone with broth is also very flavorful and a very good value for only $7. Tables are small and the resturant is busy, get ready to squish in as a party of 5. Recommend joining the waitlist on yelp before getting to the resturant to save time waiting in line!

OVERALL: I'm not going to be rushing to go back BUT if I ever go back (meaning a friend suggests it) I would give it another try. FAMILY FRIENDLY: Yes but this is a to go place PET FRIENDLY: No PARKING: Shared parking lot with surrounding retail space in the Redmond Mall FOOD/MENU: Combo Chicken Rice $18.95: 3 Stars - This is a lunch set that with pickled vegetables, broth, rice, and two different types of sauce. The crispy chicken had an excellent texture, crispy and crunchy without grease but it also lacked flavor. The Hainanese style chicken was definitely the best part with the subtle flavor of the chicken, ginger, and garlic. The meat was so moist and springy. The pickle vegetables had good flavor but it definitely lack volume... I actually didn't realize it came with the vegetables and had order an "extra" which for $2 was really sad... The broth was amazing! Lets be honest, its chicken water but it was so much flavor in such a clear soup. A Ma Dried Noodles (Spicy) $19.95: 3 Stars - This looked amazing which made the lack of flavor so much worse LOL Similar to the crispy chick in the combo, it was great texture but it needed something like maybe just simple salt. The noodles didn't have great flavor either... the sauce that came with combo rice made the noodle taste 100x better. Also if it says spicy, it better light my mouth on fire which of course it didn't.. RESTAURANT/SERVICE: Extremely small restaurant that has roughly 10 tables (2-4 person top). Extremely busy when we went on a Sunday around lunch time but we got lucky by beating the line. I will say, there isn't a high turn over either so I feel like a lot of folks left to go somewhere else... but they could have also went to the next door H-Mart to kill time. The place is super cute, modern, kitschy-ish, borderline hipster-ish. Great vibe but I cant actually say too much about the service as everything is very no-touch/limited contact. I like that the menu was simple and straight forward. Meaning they specialize in what they do... I hope they can up the flavor and everything would be amazing. Whenever I come back, I hope this place would be 5 stars.

The food is sooo so delicious!! The combo chicken is absolutely my fav. The fried chicken is crispy, the normal chicken was tender and juicy. Topping it off with ginger scallion oil or the sauces makes the dish so flavorful. The soup is hearty. The wait times here can get pretty lengthy. I've been here a couple of times and the wait seemed like a hit or miss, but it can be around an hour or longer wait :/ Worth the wait though! Once you're seated, the service is pretty fast. The interior is a little crowded. Not for big parties. But even with a party of two, we were seated near the entrance and the people waiting for a seat were standing right behind me, which is not that comfortable.

Simple ingredients, well done. Natural flavors, combined. The rice is seasoned with chicken broth and the boiled chicken is nice and tender. It's a great balance with the fried chicken which has a unique batter. The sauces provided are great at adding a unique taste to each bite and there are extra condiments at the table such as sriracha and pickled marinated green garlic. This restaurant is incredibly popular therefore very busy during weekday lunch hours. I'd recommend getting there early or expect to wait about 10-20 on the guest list depending on your party size. Restaurant is well decorated, clean, and gives off a feeling like you're eating at your aunt's house with food coming straight from her kitchen.

So I usually order from DoorDash or Uber eats every time I get this food, but it is so delicious getting Cambodian food. I always get this steamed chicken with the rice and that brought is so delicious with an extra chili oil sauce plus everything that they include with it is so delicious. It is just refreshing to have that kind of food and I enjoy it so much.

There is quite a lack of Cambodian owned restaurants in the greater Seattle area/East side so it makes me so happy to see when a restaurant of my culture's cuisine thriving. The menu is nice and short so you already know to expect something that tastes great. The kuy teav noodle soup was nice and light. Similar to how my mom used to make it :) I also tried a bit of the chicken rice, both classic and crispy. My favorite part was the chili sauce that came with it. Everything was very tasty and I'm definitely wanting to come back for more. The restaurant itself is pretty small. During peak times, you can easily expect to see at least 20 parties on the waiting list. So it is nice to take advantage of Yelp waitlist. Once you're seated, it is mainly self service. Ordering with a QR code on your phone, as well as paying the bill when you're done.

No wait for weekday lunch, but there was a 30 min wait for weekend dinner. The food was prepared quickly. Scan QR code on the table to order. There's an extra 3% credit card surcharge that isn't included in the menu prices. Got the Classic Chicken Rice set for $16.50. The chicken was tender, and there was a decent amount of chicken, but it could use a little more seasoning. The rice was flavorful because it was cooked in chicken broth, but it was also a bit clumpy and fairly greasy. The set came with pickled vegetables, two sauces, and a chicken broth/soup on the side. If you're a fan of chicken rice dishes, I would recommend giving this a try.

The haianese chicken is well cooked and tender here and I tried both crispy and poached. The soup was also flavourful and appetizing. I took away a star because of how oily the rice is, which you might notice as you finish the meal. Portion sizes are great and it comes with sauces on the side. There is a small wait since it's such a popular restaurant but the service was extremely fast!

My son and his friend asked me if I wanted to try a new place and I said yes. The dry Phnom Penh noodle was delicious. It has the same flavor as my mom's. It brought me back to my childhood memories when my mom's made it every week for us. My son ordered fried chicken. He said the chili sauce was good. I also like the decor and reminded of the places I visited. I wish they have more items on the menu but would definitely go back.

We ordered 2 dishes (unfortunately 1 of them not pictured) after running a half marathon nearby. Vibe was super casual, felt like a street food stall in Asia. Service was quick but we did have a 30 min wait since we got there right at lunch time. Classic Chicken Rice. I would definitely order this dish again. The chicken was super tender and lightly seasoned. Together, with the sauces, rice, and paired with a flavorful broth, this made for a fantastic and filling meal. Kuy Teav (a Cambodian noodle soup that was slightly sweeter than pho). This pork broth was lightly flavored, translucent and slightly iridescent with hints of oil and flavor on top. Absolutely delectable and abundant pork pieces with the perfect texture. Lithe rice noodles, bean sprouts, and a squeeze of lime rounded off the dish. This meal left us feeling nourished, hydrated, and warm from the inside out.

Having spent significant time in SE Asia some years ago, I have been on the local hunt to find a similar chicken rice. This is pretty close! It's a tiny shop, and they have outdoor seating options as well. It was hopping at 2pm on a Sunday, which surprised me. QR menus are on tbe table and you can order from there. Service was super fast and I thought they were good portion sizes. I loved the broth and the jucineness of the chicken. We tried the pork bone broth (also amazing). The pickled veg add on for a 2nd dish was $2 and that felt a little overpriced for the scant amount but it was tasty. Had a sugarcane drink (in a can). Pickled garlic and chili sauce are also available on the table, along with Sriracha and hoison. Will definitely be back as this is the closest I have tasted! Check out was simple too. They do have a Yelp wait list you can sign up on if they are full.

WOW! This place completely exceeded any expectations I had. The A Ma dry noodles are a perfect balance of savory umami, crispy chicken, bouncy noodles, and a slight sweetness that pairs well with the pickled garlic available on the side. I didn't think the food or the chili oil was that spicy; part of me wish it was, but nonetheless it was an incredible meal and very satiating. Super generous noodle portions. Service is quick and to the point. Ambiance is clean, modern, with an Asian flair -- ode to heritage and culture. I'll be back soon. The food is craving-worthy!

This is now one my new favorite restaurants in Redmond and can't wait to come back. I arrived on Saturday at lunch time and the restaurant was packed. The vibe is casual, the restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The food came very fast. I ordered the Combo chicken rice which comes with the regular and crispy chicken, soup, a side of salad, and sauces. There is also chilli oil, ginger and pickled garlic and sweet soy sauce on every table. The regular chicken was very tasty, the crispy chicken was crunch and not dry. The portion size is quite good, my group all ended up with leftovers. The sauces on the side go so well with the chicken, our group's favorite was the sweet soy sauce and ginger. There is minimal service, you order on the website from a QR code and pay at the desk at the back of the restaurant. Overall, the food was great and I have no complaints.

Before I say anything else: don't hesitate. Order the crispy chicken. "classic" is good, but crispy is better. Be thankful I said it - the missus not only agrees, she's been raving about how good the crispy chicken is all meal. (we ordered two combo chickens, but the classic one kinda lacks moisture and flavour so it'll be drier without sauce or ginger). Advice/Tip: Experiment with the side sauces - there's ginger, garlic, and spicy toppings, as well as sriracha, sweet soy, and duck sauces. The "ambience" is a single speaker with a top 40 playlist (currently Lana del Rey - summertime sadness). Service is pretty fast - you check in via waitlist (hey Yelp), and then order via qr code on the table (via clover). If you're cold easily, keep your sweater or jacket on as the door lets in quite the draft - especially on cold days! "Only" downside: additional 3% charge with credit card. Otherwise, this place is pretty decent! We waited about 5 min to get in on a busy Sunday at lunchtime in early Feb. Total bill was less than $50 including tax and tip for two people, which is both great value for money, and generally means this place will be EXTREMELY busy during the week (hello, MSFT employees!).

Finally went back to Ā Mā Chicken Rice to try their famous rice dish, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the combo chicken rice, which includes both fried chicken and a tender, poached-style chicken. The two textures complement each other perfectly with the rice. The plate is amazing because it comes with two spicy sauces, pickles, and a side of soup. Absolutely worth it and so good. The rice is cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and full of flavor. They also have a new dish, the dry noodles with fried chicken, which is delicious. The noodles have great texture, and the sauce ties everything together. It also comes with a side of soup. Ā Mā Chicken Rice never disappoints and is always a satisfying meal. Make sure to join the waitlist on Yelp because the wait time is usually long.

Ordered this food to go. Went in and was seen quick and once I ordered headed to HMart across the way to do some other shopping. After 45 minutes came back and food was ready, nice and hot, to go. The ambiance is nice and plenty of parking on the street or in a parking structure across the street. Everyone fought for this food once home! We will be back to eat it next time in the restaurant.

TL;DR: there will be a wait but service is fast paced. Authentic and flavorful dishes. Add the provided ginger into your broth! Parking: street side or public garage. Atmosphere: small dining area and awkwardly placed waiting area seats smack dab in the middle of the restaurant, otherwise wait outside. A bit cramped feeling. Very vintage feel interior with oriental decor mixed with early USA 1900s decor. Check out all those containers of sesame oil! Service: very fast paced in/out service. They only serve a few dishes on their limited menu, food comes out within minutes of ordering. Order and pay at your table via a QR code scan on your phone, food brought to you, you will be watered, boxes available upon request for leftovers. You can also order via your server, if you do so, walk up to the counter to pay when you are done. Menu: posted on your table as a QR code. Short, simple, descriptive, has photos. Everything is authentically flavored just right - nothing overpowering or Americanized like Panda Express. Complimentary condiments at the table: Housin sauce, hot sauce, green pickled garlic, ginger/green onion oil (great addition to your soup/broth), etc. Classic Chicken Rice: comes with dipping sauces but honestly the dish itself is already pretty flavorful and aromatic! The chicken is very tender and melt in your mouth consistency and the rice is soft, flavorful and fluffy. Very refreshing side of cucumbers and greens. The broth that it comes with is extremely flavorful! The small side of pickled veggies is a nice palate cleanser between bites. Crispy Chicken Rice: dish is exactly the same as the Classic except the fact that the chicken is fried. The batter layer isn't too thick and has a nice gentle crunch that's not overpowering. I will say that it seems there is some dark meat in here as opposed to the Classic dish that has all white meat. It's still texturally tasty nonetheless! Not too much flavor on its own but fantastic with the provided sauces. Kuy Teav Phnom Penh: aromatic authentic broth. Organ meat isn't for everyone so if you aren't interested keep that in mind because it decreases the amount of protein you would have in this dish if you put the meat aside. Protein content was generous but there were still a lot of noodles leftover for me so the ratio wasn't too even. Speaking of the noodles, I found that it was hard to pick up with chopsticks because they kept breaking from being slightly overcooked. I do wish there were more greens in the mix though. It's heavy on the carbs and protein with only 2 small leaves of lettuce. Comes with beansprouts and a slice of lime as well. I added some of the provided ginger from the table into my soup and it was amazing!

Hands down best chicken in the Seattle region, spoken from someone who grew up religiously eating chicken rice. We ordered both the steamed and crispy chicken so we could try a variety, and being able to eat both and enjoy that variety of textures is honestly great. It's a place that's always busy, and fairy so, but reservations are available through yelp!

Came here last Saturday after exploring the Redmond art fair- I've heard good things about this restaurant, and the fact it specializes in chicken dishes sounded interesting. The interior is small, but has beautiful decorations and a homey feeling. I was a little apprehensive about the price of the dishes, but the taste was amazing. My parents and I got two dishes, the chicken rice combo and dry noodle dish with fried chicken. The two sauces for the chicken combo are delicious and pair very well with the tender meat. The soup (included for each dish) is also very sweet and flavorful, which was a pleasant surprise. The dry noodles with fried chicken were very good, but I think I'd prefer the chicken combo for more variety (and for the dipping sauces). Overall, this is a solid hainanese chicken restaurant. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested for the first time. If I'm ever craving a good chicken dish, I know where I can go to treat myself!

Came in on a Thursday around noon and the restaurant was packed! We had to wait a bit to be seated despite there being a table open. They have a Yelp waitlist, but the guy at the front seemed to be overwhelmed with the tasks he had. I would say that it was quite chaotic. Lots of to go orders. People have to pay up front and you order on your phone using the QR code. Ordered the combo chicken. This was very filling and had nice portions. This was delicious. The rice and chicken were flavored quite nicely. The broth that comes out on the side is very nice for the cold winter days. Would come back again!
