Rooster & Rice 1223 West 34th Street, Houston, TX 77018

"Underrated place. Hainanese chicken inspired dishes, looks like a lot of reviews were from people that didn't know what to expect. Flavorful rice, thick and savory broth, tender chicken, completed with their signature sauces. Really solid meal for the price, better than what I expected. A lot goes into preparing the dish right and they got it right."

"Loved everything. I wasn’t sure what to order and they were super helpful to explain everything and make recommendations. Large portions and great as left overs."

"So good. The original poached chicken was amazing, so tender, and the dipping sauces were the perfect complement. The breaded cutlet was excellent as well. I don’t know what is on the rice but it’s so tasty. So glad this California eatery has made its way here. Will definitely be back to try out other menu items in the future!"

"i ordered the vegetarian and was told they were out of tofu, so i got eggs instead. maybe i should have specified a way i wanted them cooked, but i had wrongly placed my trust in the judgement of the chef. i open up my togo order to find two essentially raw eggs placed on top of rice and veggies. both the veggies and rice were undercooked and overall the meal just made me sad. the broth was my one comfort because it at least, was really tasty."

"I really liked the food. Thai chicken looks bland, cause it kind of is. It is supposed to be a light, refreshing meal. This place was good. Big portions. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Only drawback is the markup on everything else. Almost $2 to add an extra 1oz cup of sauce! Almost $4 for a Mexican coke!"
