BURD CHICKEN RICE — Restaurant in West Covina

My boyfriend and I found this place when we were both recovering from the flu. We wanted something not too heavy, but also substantial with a good ratio of easy-to-digest carbs and a good amount of protein. Well, besides that technical talk, we just wanted something comforting. Hainan chicken to the rescue! We found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out mostly based on the reviews and their close proximity to us. We didn't really know what to expect since Hainan chicken can vary in tastes purely from the accompanying sauces. This place also offered different takes on the classic dish, from a lemongrass option to a fried option. We opted for the "classic burd" since we wanted to try their standard take on Hainan chicken. The meal comes with two sauces: a ginger scallion oil sauce and a chili ginger sauce. A cup of hot chicken soup is also served with the meal.

Everything worked so well together! The rice is perfectly flavored, with what I'm assuming is the rich chicken stock. The chicken itself is tender and juicy, not dry at all. The chicken normally sits atop a bed of cabbage, but we prefer to order it without the cabbage. The sauces are just so complementary, and everything just marries so well together. Then the hot, comforting soup is exactly what's needed as the perfect ending to a perfect meal. We're so glad we tried this place. Since we first tried it 2 weeks ago, we've been here 4 times. That's how much we've enjoyed the food.

The staff is also very personable and friendly. It seems like they have some sort of special going on with their sugarcane juice and plates, although I'm not sure if that's temporary or during certain times.

Everything we've tried thus far has been good. We will keep coming back to try the different options they offer and to show...

Move over Chic fil a and Raising Cane's there's a new chicken in town and the flavors are kickin' their tail!

I had the original burd and my sister had the mixed burd and both were awesome. The mixed burd has an added lemongrass chicken and it's fantastic. The key is the ginger based sauce and it's thick and perfect. The thickness helps it stick to the garlic rice and chicken better. The scallion herb with oil is also carefully balanced and adds texture when mixed with the rice. Burd chicken rice is highly recommended if you're into chicken, southeast Asian cuisine or simply good wholesome food! You're missing out if you don't make it out here. The cane drinks are perfectly sweetened. The kumquat cococane drink was a phenomenal mix between sweet and citrus. We ended the meal with their waffles and it was warm and crisp on the outside and soft and a bit chewy in the middle. The best part is the people are kind hearted and always willing to share how they found their beginnings and how they're committed to good,...

Whenever I come here, I always order the mixed Burd—it’s my absolute favorite. The portions are incredibly generous, making every meal super filling, and the food itself is packed with rich, comforting flavors. No matter how many times I visit, the quality remains consistently high, the menu also offers a variety of fresh, sustainable, delicious ingredient. So many options to choose from.

Beyond the amazing food, the service is top-notch. The employees are always so kind, welcoming, and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued, which is one of the many reasons I love coming back week

I truly believe it’s worth every penny. The portion sizes, the quality of ingredients, and the incredible depth of flavor all justify the cost. This place has become one of my go-to spots, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a delicious, satisfying meal with exceptional service, this is the...
