Never been here but the OC Weekly writes up a place in Santa Ana. Says its the best in the OC. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

Seems popular enough on yelpâŚ
But then I see pictures like thisâŚ
Also, ICYMI:
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias âelmomonsterâ on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
Wasnât elmo on Chowhound?

In the review Edwin did mention that they added more non authentic versions. I did not know he was elmomonster but I do remember reading his blog.
That fork sticking up out of the rise makes me queasy. So wrong.

Death to all other hainan rice vendors in the OC!!!
seems more like thai version, khao mun gai, esp with that fermented soybean sauce on top.

Went to the newish Diamond Bar Cluck2Go today and, while there were no dry rice issues, the rice was not nearly as flavorful as I remember it being in Singapore. The chicken itself was fine and I thought it was a pretty massive portion. I think one of the more interesting things to me in having the dish in SE Asia was that I ended up liking the rice more than the chicken. Here, the chicken is definitely the star.
I concur with @Chowseeker1999 that itâs a solid option, but perhaps not something Iâd go out of my way to seek out. Luckily, itâs not far out of my way 
1220 S Diamond Bar Blvd Ste.C, Diamond Bar

Goel mentions this place in his writing but I didnât see a review. Theyâve opened two locations very near me but I havenât tried it yet. Is anyone familiar enough and able to place Yangâs in this topicâs discussion?
Thank you for this amazing journey into the world of Hainan Chicken. Now, since you guys did this âcrawlâ (lol), have you been to any places in Los Angeles that ARENâT in San Gabriel Valley or the OC (central LA) that you can recommend?

Do you want leads for acceptable chicken and rice, or drive-worthy chicken and rice?
The one place in LA that has a decent one is Siam Sunset (Thai place), but Iâm hoping some day LA will have more options!
