Chicken Meets Rice (Coleman) — Restaurant in Santa Clara

Dropped by for a quick pickup on Monday evening, July 7. I ordered through Uber Eats, and the kitchen had my bags ready in barely five minutes—huge plus for week-night convenience.

What I picked up White chicken combo – skin-on poached chicken with fragrant white rice, classic chili sauce, and ginger–scallion sauce. Spot-on: tender meat, no off-smells, and that familiar Singapore-style chicken-rice aroma I’ve been missing since living in SG. Brown-rice combo – skin-off poached chicken and grilled tandoori chicken, paired with katsu sauce and the spicy chili. Great way to mix lean protein with a smoky kick.

Both boxes came with a clear, comforting chicken broth and a crisp side salad, so the meal felt balanced without being heavy.

Why I’ll be back • Lightning-fast prep and smooth pickup. • Sauces taste homemade—and they don’t skimp. • Chicken is juicy, clean, and free of the dreaded “poultry smell.” • Fair prices for generous portions (easy to stretch into two meals if you’re watching carbs).

If you’re craving authentic Hainanese-style chicken rice—or just want a healthier take-out option that actually satisfies—give Chicken Meets Rice a go. One bite took me straight back to my Singapore hawker-centre days. Highly...

Dropped in for a quick lunch while I was in the area. Didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised! Great food, reminds me of home (Malaysia). Got the half and half to sample the 2 types of chicken - The Hainanese white chicken was the most tender and succulent while the Thai grilled chicken had a slightly crispy skin and meat was a little more cooked but still good - all served on a bed of chicken rice with a bowl of soup and 2 sauces. Order at a kiosk, brought to your table, clean, fast and tasty. I ordered extra protein for $5 all in all lunch was $23 (tax included) a little steep for lunch but I have...

I was just darting around Santa Clara like a mad man looking for a place that offered a chicken dinner, and what I mean by "chicken dinner" is a real chicken dinner! A chicken dinner with rice and a vegetable, some dinner rolls and a salad..is that too much to ask for? Well, I remembered that my old pal Stinky Wedemeyer once told me there's a Chicken Meets Rice Restaurant right here in Santa Clara! A quick Google maps search and BAM! I was walking through front doors and greeted like a returning soldier after winning the war single handedly! What a wonderful experience my chicken dinner was Amazing! 5...
