Dong Nguyen Chicken Rice 東源雞飯

I like simple, good food made well. Came for the chicken dish and left very satisfied. The soup was good and the portions were just right. I got my meal with some bbq pork on the side to give myself variety. The price is definitely right at this place.

Delicious Chicken Rice with Cool Perks (and a Small Paper Napkin Fee!) Dong Nguyen Chicken Rice is an absolute gem! The food? Simply amazing! Juicy, flavorful chicken paired with perfectly cooked rice—it’s a match made in culinary heaven. The environment is clean, cool (thank you, air conditioning!), and hygienic. Bonus points for a tidy restroom where you can freshen up or wash your hands before diving into your meal. One quirky little detail: paper napkins here aren’t free—they cost 2,000 VND per pack. While that’s barely the price of a breeze, it adds a fun twist to the experience. Who knew paper napkins could make dining so memorable? Overall, this place is a winner for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and the kind of little quirks that make you smile. Highly recommend!

Free parking lot for motorbike and walk a few steps to res. 1 way street. 👍👍👍👍👍Very nice: one person in my family step up to staircase with broken leg and staff come to ask us use staff's lift. Very kind of them. Easy to order. Taste is good. Need arrange area to serve and procedure, i think. Must try chicken boiled or rice chicken.

Quite a lively and popular Vietnamese restaurant. Great variety of dishes (even desserts) at an affordable price . Spacious and modern. I found their kitchen picturesque and alluring.

Been a while since I ate Chicken Rice back in Singapore, so I decided to come here to satiate my craving. Initially, I ordered the dark soy sauce chicken (80k dong) but was told that it was sold out. 🥲 Switched to the white boiled chicken which was slightly more expensive (100k dong) but at least it was delicious. 😋 The service was good as well. Although one of the orders was wrong, I was given a replacement after mentioning it to the staff. Fortunately the staff understood English so it was easy to convey my intentions. Would recommend this place to anyone craving for Chicken Rice!

Pros - Air conditioning room on the second floor - Many choices for meats and soups to go with your rice Cons - Quite expensive for the quantity and quality - the chicken rice is not very flavorful. You can barely detect the chicken taste in the rice. - I think there is too much MSG because after eating the food you feel like you want to pass out from tiredness

Been craving Hainanese chicken rice, but this spot temporarily hit the spot. Not the same flavor, but still quality chicken and rice. Would return for a chicken and rice fix.
