Heng Heng Chicken Rice 2 — Restaurant in Hawthorne

Let's be real, Heng Heng is tiny. Like, blink-and-you'll-miss-it tiny. But don't let its size fool you. This place is all about quality over quantity. It's definitely more of a takeout kind of spot, but the food is so good, you won't mind eating it in your car (or at home, of course!).

Now, the star of the show: the Hainan Chicken Rice. You have to try it. It's their specialty, and for good reason. The chicken is incredibly silky and tender, served at room temperature, which might sound odd, but trust me, it works. But the rice? Oh, the rice. It's cooked in the chicken broth, so it's packed with flavor. They serve it with a trio of condiments that just elevate the whole dish. It's a classic for a reason, and Heng Heng nails it.

I'm a bit of a rebel, so I like to get mine with fried chicken instead of the usual poached chicken. It's crispy, it's juicy, and it's a delicious twist on the classic. My wife, who's a bit more adventurous, sometimes gets the crispy pork belly, and she raves about it.

Heng Heng Chicken Rice is a no-frills kind of place. It's all about the food. And the food is absolutely fantastic. If you're craving authentic Hainan Chicken Rice or just some delicious Thai food, this is the place to go. It's a hidden gem in Hawthorne, and it's definitely worth seeking out. You won't be...

Hooray! A closer, great chicken rice! Sorry, the slightly further and only ok Taishi!

Online ordering on their website is the same price as the paper menu. Pick up was fast, friendly and easy. They're running a promotion right now where you get a free $6 Thai iced tea with two entrees or two teas with three entrees.

Everything was delicious! I love chicken rice and it's more common to see hainanese than khao man gai in LA, and really, pretty rare to see either in the south bay. Dark meat for the win! Get that half and half and add a bonus side to try all the meats. The crispy pork and fried chicken are both amazing. Broth was light and flavorful, perfect to balance out all the funky sauces. Zaab fish was a delight and maybe my favorite dish...

Welcome to the new location in the South Bay Area, extending from the first one near Thai Town in LA. This spot is perfect if you're craving Thai-style Hainan Chicken Rice. The chicken rice is incredibly flavorful, especially when paired with the garlic rice. The owner is exceptionally friendly and provides excellent recommendations. With a variety of sauces to choose from, my personal favorite is the sweet chili sauce. While the food is top-notch, I can't help but wish they were situated in a more vibrant area in the South Bay, surrounded by other restaurants. -1 star for atmosphere and location.
