3 Sauces Hainam Chicken Rice 海南鸡饭
2002 S Wentworth Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in a basement food court near Chinatown, this spot serves up authentic Hainanese chicken rice that rivals what you'd find in Singapore, with impossibly tender, juicy chicken and deeply flavorful sauces that justify the hunt to find it. The generous portions and fair prices make it an ideal weekday lunch destination where regulars rave about the quality of every component—from the silky bird to the aromatic rice and perfectly balanced dipping sauces. It's the kind of place that defies its casual, hidden-away setting, delivering serious, satisfying comfort food that clearly resonates with folks seeking genuine Southeast Asian flavors in Chicago.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

We opted for the fried chicken rice and spicy dumplings. The dumplings were fine, but honestly looked like they were the frozen kind. The fried chicken rice did not have any of the expected sauces. Instead it was yumyum, soy, and sweet chili... All from bottles. Very…
Love this hainanese chicken place. I didn’t have high expectations since it’s in a food court and I was wrong. Everything is delicious from the chicken to the sauce to the soup. The chicken was soft, tender, and juicy. The rice is well cooked and flavorful on its own. The sauces…
