Nam Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant

In the mood for chicken rice, I searched for a spot along the way home and found this place. The shop was bright and well lit and the staff were polite. I got a seat immediately, which I really appreciated after a long day. The interior has a slightly vintage feel, with old tiles and minimal refurbishment, something I actually enjoyed. I ordered the half steamed chicken ($15) with extra eggs ($1 each). The chicken was incredibly tender and the sauce drizzled over it was so fragrant. Even the rice tasted good on its own, flavourful yet not oily. They provide dark soy sauce, chili and even grated ginger for dipping. Not many places offer grated ginger anymore and it really elevated the taste of the chicken. Prices are very reasonable and I left feeling satisfied. I’ll definitely come back again to try their other dishes.

This chicken rice shop was recommended by the locals, so I came to try it. The place is air-conditioned, comfortable, and has a bit of a vintage feel. I went around 3 PM, which isn’t a meal time, so there weren’t many customers. I ordered takeaway, and the food came out quickly with very little waiting time. Parking might be slightly difficult if you’re driving. As for the taste, the chicken rice was quite good — flavorful rice and tender, juicy chicken. I didn’t try the other dishes, so I’m not sure how they are, but the chicken rice itself was delicious. It’s definitely another place I would recommend trying.

Nam Kee Chicken Rice – Singapore We had an amazing experience at Nam Kee Chicken Rice! We ordered the fried chicken and chicken rice, and both were absolutely fantastic — delicious, flavorful, and just like the classic old-school taste. No wonder this restaurant is top-rated! The service was fast, and the food was served fresh and piping hot. We dined in with my husband, and everything we tried was tasty and satisfying. We also ordered delivery from this restaurant, and even the delivery person commented that the aroma of the chicken made him hungry and that he would order from Nam Kee himself! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, delicious chicken rice in Singapore.

The chicken rice store is very retro. Still have the orange pubic telephone avaliable. Chicken is tender and rice is great. Just vegetable not so fresh. Tofu is good too

Great chicken rice in Thompson area. Wow...the chicken is silky smooth. Soft and well balance..taste is good...on both white n dark meat. Chicken rice is tasty and of good consistency. best I think is the chillie.. very good chillie for chicken rice with the right heat in the chillie ..taste ... overall very happy for our Singapore dish

Fuss-free and delicious chicken rice in an old-school vibe setting. Initial seating experience was pretty weird, was shoo-ed out fairly curtly to wait for seats (as it seems we cannot wait inside) despite the restaurant not being that packed. Same lady told a family of 4 they cannot take a bigger round table because that was “for 5 people”. Same lady again told us we can consider quarter instead of half chicken when I asked to order individual portions as me and my partner both wanted breast meat. Luckily the other lady who took our order was more flexible. Once ordered, food was served briskly and everything tasted delicious in a simple way. Cannot go wrong with chicken rice I guess. Challenging to park around Upper Thomson on a Sat evening so we slotted ourselves along the terrace houses quite a walk away.

Old school chicken rice with a lot of other dishes to choose from. Ordered quarter chicken, pork chop, gizzard, liver and fish maw soup. Dishes are all not bad. But not the best chicken rice I’ve eaten. Service was fast and friendly. Though the staff didn’t stop us from over ordering.

Food hunt at Upper Thomson today. Nam Kee Chicken Rice - Since 1968. One of the SG heritage chicken rice restaurants, the restaurant still has the old school eatery setting, and a retro orange color coin telephone at the counter. The steam white chicken meat is so tender and flavorful , the skin also very tasty. $18 half chicken is quite a good deal, no service charge and gst. Chili, rice so-so. Hainanese pork chop quite disappointing, can skip. Wall down the street, there is a retro Yi Jia bakery that you can dine in. The Kopi is cheap and I had a Black Forest cake for dessert. #chickenrice #鸡饭 #sgfood #singapore
