I've been on a mission to find a local spot that could match the quality of Heng Heng Chicken in Los Angeles, and I believe I've found it! This hidden gem in Orange County offers incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked Hainan chicken. My only request is to duplicate Heng Heng a spicy crispy chicken salad.

Overall, nice ambiance, the buy one get one Thai Tea is a nice bonus as well. Overall, highly...
