 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE: We recently found out they have the option to make the sticky rice crispy! Definitely a MUST try if you like a more toasty flavor & crispy texture. This place has the BEST chicken rice. The chicken is grilled to juicy perfection. I always get it with STICKY rice and it’s the ultimate combination! This is the only restaurant I have been to that has sticky rice as an option. Their mung bean drink is also tasty. The owner is super nice and gives us free soup refills. Definitely worth coming here!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I usually get to go order. Do not have much  dine in experience. This’s the only place i go for the Steam chicken anytime i come back SJ We got : - Half chicken 5/5 : Chicken’s really good very tender. Go well with fine blended green onion ginger sauce and some other sauce. - Chicken Giblets 10/5: the best best best ever. As i compare to one of my other fav shop in elk grove city. Giblets is all mixed, well cleaned - prepared. You won’t get any bad smells. All very soft easy to chew. - small side of mix salad 5/5: some cabbage, Vietnamese mint leaves, reg mint. The price may seem a little bit more than the other place. But you get what you pay for. Very good quality food. Also we all know San Jose is known for expensive high tax spending. So be ready for small chicken portion with around 15 bucks 😆. The owner’s friendly and helpful. Easy to order thru phone. Very clean with locked restrooms. A plus is big private parking lot. It helps a lot for searching for parking in this busy area.
