i usually call in to pick up hainan chicken but i'm also a fan of their pizzas and fillet mignon. service is quick when calling ahead. while there is indoor and outdoor, the inside tends to fill up quickly when busy. looking forward to trying everything on the menu.

Fair prices, fair portions, and a mini parking lot (and plenty of street parking when that inevitably fills up). Most folks including myself come to Savoy Kitchen when the craving for Hainan Chicken hits. While they have other items on their menu, everyone around me had the same platter of white chicken on their table, with heaping ginger sauce dishes. The wait was about 20 minutes for a party of two on a Saturday night - not too bad for a place this popular! If you order a quarter chicken, it comes with rice and salad, but the half-chicken is a la carte which means the rice has to be ordered separately. I found a bit strange; does anyone eat Hainan Chicken without the rice...? Onto the food itself: the chicken is moist and tender, but let's be honest: it's the sauce that makes the taste. The ginger sauce is solid, but I've had better elsewhere; it's awesome that they will refill the sauces for you though, plenty of other chicken restaurants are stingy and will charge. I do like the chili sauce, I think that's quite unique. However, the rice was a bit lacking; I think the best Hainan chicken has a flavorful rice that really soaks up the chicken broth, and the rice was pretty bland. All in all however, a solid Hainan Chicken restaurant; my friend never had the dish before and loved it!

I've dined at Savoy Kitchen many times and I always order their hainen chicken. It never fails to deliver on taste. I like that it's an affordable and tasty meal and that the atmosphere of the restaurant is small and cozy, like a mom and pop shop. The service is quick and to the point, so it's a great spot if you just want to get great food and fast service.

Update on my review since it's been over 8 years. This spot continues to have the best Hainan chicken around, hands down. The only downside is that it's 45 minutes to an hour away from us, but it's totally worth the drive. One thing to note, though--they no longer offer free iced tea refills, which is a bummer. It's also pre-sweetened as to before you can pour the syrup to your liking. It's a bit sweet but I let the ice melt and it was fine. Or add some water to it? lol But the real perk of dining in is you get all the ginger sauce you want. For takeout, the sauce comes in tiny containers, so you miss out on that! The service is incredibly fast. Even with a 22-month-old, we were able to eat and go within 45 minutes. We even ordered the smoked duck pizza, which takes around 30 minutes, but everything was served quickly and efficiently. We visited on Labor Day (Monday) around 12:30 pm, and despite six people ahead of us, we only waited 20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. They have their own parking lot that's easy to spot, but you can also park on the street--just make sure to check for street sweeping signs. Note, the place is small and not great for big groups. If you do plan on going with a big group, it's best to be the first ones in line when they open. Otherwise, you might be waiting for a bit. Still my go-to spot for Hainan chicken! Highly recommend.

Savoy is a popular restaurant in SGV that has been here a number of years now and survived the COVID pandemic. They are known for their Hainan chicken. There is limited street parking on Valley and more parking in a lot on Monterey across from the restaurant and on the street. We recommend their creamy pastas, Hainan chicken, chicken soup, and creamy baked sole. We recommend avoiding the pizzas and getting pizza from Petrillo's instead. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating. The severs and cashiers are businesslike and efficient. They can get very busy during peak hours. Definitely a must try if you have never been here before.

Savoy has been around the SGV since forever, and they're best known for their Hainan chicken! I've been here many times, and I will say that over the years, unfortunately the portions have definitely gotten smaller. They still give a large amount of rice, but the chicken portion has shrunken. It comes with their soy sauce, orange spicy sauce, and a ginger sauce, which really make the dish. A downside is that when you order to go, they now charge $0.50 extra per sauce (it used to be free). I'm still willing to pay for the extra sauces but I do feel like it's a bit much for such a small container. It is a pretty small restaurant, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I've seen it get pretty busy, but their service is quick. The workers are friendly and efficient. They used to be cash only but now they accept card. There's street parking or they have a small lot on the other side of the street next to the auto shop. Overall, Savoy is a staple in the SGV with delicious Hainan chicken but I do wish they didn't cut back on their potions.

Our first time here and it has blown us away! We got the Hainan chicken rice with salad and opted for dark meat, the escargot (that comes with garlic bread), and crème brûlée! The chicken is tender and flavorful - we loved all three sauces and felt it was enough for our portion (but you can get extra sauces for 50 cents I believe). The rice is infused with chicken broth aroma and very moist (you can also get chicken broth on the side for extra)! Love the portion size and every bite was super enjoyable! We didn't have high expectation for the crème brûlée but it blew us away! The caramelized top is crispy and crunchy with the perfect amount of sweetness and the cream part is sooo smooth and yet not overly sweet at all (which we loved)! Service was amazing! There is a parking lot across the street and there are some street parking as well! Highly recommend to satisfy your Hainan chicken cravings! Not to mention they also have lunch specials Monday through Friday!

Best Hainan Chicken in LA! No frills here. Just succulent dark meat, addicting ginger sauce, and fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth. Each bite is *chef's kiss.* Finishing with a cold cup of chrysanthemum tea hits the sweet spot. If you're not feeling Hainan chicken, don't worry. The menu also offers an eclectic mix of curry, seafood casserole, pizza, and pasta.  The restaurant is usually packed, but the wait's never been too long thanks to their speedy service. If you're in the area, swing by and give this place a try :)
