I went to Hainan Shaoye last night with a group of friends and we were all really surprised at the decor and location of this restaurant. The view is amazing, overlooking the harbor and the decor was simple yet elegant. I've been to many Hainan Chicken Restaurants and this one in my opinion is up there in my top 3. The presentation of the chicken rice was great, it came with the usual 3 sauces plus 1, rice, chicken, veggies and soup. The soup also came in a teapot which I thought was a nice

I went to Hainan Shaoye last night with a group of friends and we were all really surprised at the decor and location of this restaurant. The view is amazing, overlooking the harbor and the decor was simple yet elegant. I've been to many Hainan Chicken Restaurants and this one in my opinion is up there in my top 3. The presentation of the chicken rice was great, it came with the usual 3 sauces plus 1, rice, chicken, veggies and soup. The soup also came in a teapot which I thought was a nice touch to the presentation as well. The rice came out to be very tasty, not too oily (good chicken rice is not suppose to be oily, but rather dry, a common misconception). Portion size was just right (I went for dinner and came out very satisfied and full!). I don't know why some people on here thought there wasn't enough chicken (maybe you need a gastric bypass), but portion wise it was good for dinner. I'm not sure if the portion size during lunch is smaller or the same but either way it got me full and I was hungry! All in all it was a good experience and would definitely go again/recommend it to friends. Be ready to wait in line, but then again I guess that's the price you pay for good food!
