Crispy chicken is very good, and has a nice flavor. It is crispy, but moist inside. All of my relatives love it (we live in south davis). The rice is the best - healthy and delicious - cooked in a chicken broth. Crispy chicken is my favorite and a tai tea.
We had never been here before so when we entered were unsure what to do. The person at the table asked us if we were ready but we needed to ask for guidance on choices, etc. Once we figured out where to look for the options, we chose the baked and the fried chicken. There was only one other option and I can appreciate a limited menu, usually means there is a mastery to the offerings. We sat outside, really appreciated being able to do that but you should check ahead during the pandemic as the closures come and go. The chicken was not bad. It was moist enough. The flavor however came from the sweet-chili sauce in a container that you pour over your food. Uneventful. I felt I could have easily prepared it at home. The fried chicken, same story although I cannot fry chicken like that at home so that was a crispy treat. Same sauce situation though. The soup that came with it as well as the fresh cucumbers should have been the winners of the meal and I could tell they would have been IF they were not unrinsed and tasted like dish soap or some kind of soap. On the one hand, it is good to know they are being clean but tasting it in the food was too much. This place would be a great place for families who have differing palates because the food is simple and I can tell once they get it going and these other things rectified, it could be a nice reliable spot. I don't know if I will go back, I probably will. The crispy chicken was good enough to give the other parts another try.
