Savory Corner — Restaurant in City of Industry

I’ve been to Thailand/Singapore/Malaysia for months at a time and eaten a lot of chicken rice. I come here often.

This place has the best Hainan Chicken Rice I’ve ever found in the world. (Perfect sauces, de-boned, oily fragrant rice, tender dark meat). It may not be consistently the best due to me buying it when it’s not freshly made, but I can’t fault them. This isn’t Asia where it’s made around the clock. When it’s good, it’s the best I’ve ever had. When it’s “bad”, it’s still better than 90% of places.

The “Hainan chicken rice dark meat” is very good. The rice is flavorful with great texture. The chicken was super super tender but varies by the time of day.

Sauces: The ginger scallion oil was great. It’s the same sauce you find in Cantonese roast meat restaurants and I think the Cantonese version goes better with chicken rice than the Singaporean ginger sauce version (which isn’t always served in Singapore). Ginger sauce for me is a MUST! I also loved the spicy sauce. It’s super savory and not crazy spicy and feels like it has chicken broth in it. I just pour that all over my rice. I like this sauce better than the super spicy Singapore or sour Thai variation. I also love the “glass” veggies they serve the meal with. Such a nice touch and so flavorful. I like it better than cucumbers or bean sprouts served in other places.

Other items: The spicy beef brisket noodle soup was also amazing. Good amount of chili oil and can always ask for more. The broth is plenty flavorful yet clean (Cantonese flavors). I loved it with the mini flat rice noodles. The meat was nice and fatty and tender.

The chrysanthemum tea was amazing. Sweet and full of flavor and nice and cold. I rarely have it that flavorful.

PS. This is wayyyyy better than Cluck2Go. Savoy Kitchen....

I ordered their beancurd beef tripe and tomato crab paste rice noodles today. I have gotten dinner several times before and had tried their shrimp roll, hainan chicken rice. All of the dishes I tried are good. It’s pretty quiet usually when I visit this place. The most people I’ve seen are probably 3-4 tables of customers. Service is good every time and servers are very attentive and friendly.

Its more like a 4 for this place because its a place I would often come because of their food and service. I decided to give this place a 5 star instead because I want to support small businesses like these and because this place is more hidden / low key so unless you are in the area for a quick lunch, theres a less chance people would...

Wednesday 12/20/23 Dinner at Savory Corner in City of Industry with my cousin. Hong Kong style chicken rice, shrimps egg rolls, and beef tripe. The foods were okay, nothing special. There are many restaurants that I know that makes each dishes better.

Small restaurant with few service staff.
