Restaurant Family restaurant

😠 The staff said it will take 1 hour plus to get the food ready and they were like making all the customers to leave. The best part is i could only see few tables being occupied and they always close their FOOD PANDA . Guess this outlet was the worst i have seen. People often mention chicken, service, rice, good, staff, curry, Chicken, Rice, Good,

    Tried the curry mee there and I highly recommend it! Tasty and spicy with just the right amount of ingredients and just the right tenderness to the chicken. Would definitely visit again! Place was clean and spacious.

    Meh. It's just boring. I'm not sure what people like about it. It's not even super cheap or anything. The taste was uninspiring, and some menu options were missing. The chicken tasted like it was just parboiled and then slightly seasoned.

    I loved the taste of curry chicken and fish. Truly traditional spices and flavour of each 🥄.

    Chicken Rice Shop is also great for a light meal. Today I got whole prawn wanton soup and HK Kailan with oyster sauce. Delicious. Service is good and staff helpful.

    This one is a good find in the 1st Avenue mall in Georgetown Penang, Malaysia. The food was surprisingly delicious, at the time of ordering food I was doubting and hesitant if the taste will be good but the restaurant answered by putting a huge WOW in my mouth. I went there to taste it and ended up going there for dinner every day

    Super late in taking orders..I entered 3.45pm and till 4.20pm no one is there to take order..I can see the staff's walk around & around without taking orders...They take down the orders from the customer who came after me n yet me left behind.. Improve your customer service please and hire 2 more staff's who can work efficiently...not to walk around till the customer need to call out for them to take order..VERY BAD SERVICE EVER!!! WOULD NEVER GO AGAIN..

    I’m not satisfied with some of staff. There are few female staff behaved with me. They didn’t even clean up the table and gave me attitude when I asked they to help clean up the trash when the previous customers left .

    Good budget choice at this mall. Just don’t order the drinks unless it’s part of the package - RM10.90 for mostly just ice.

  • 1/5 Vincent L. 10 months ago on Google
    Very bad experience. Sat at the open area table 52, QR code to order not provided by staff. Pressed bell for more than 10 times, and the manager doesn't seem to care. Lastly decided to leave and dine at Old Town.

    Located in 1st avenue mall. Food was delicious but service was rather slow.. (like all other outlets hahaha) I will usually only eat here if I can wait for 30mins minimally.

    Me and my husband favourite chicken rice shop outlet in Penang. The best compare with gurney and queensbay. Tempat tak crowded. Servis pun laju. Terbaik!

  • 5/5 Jayne D. 1 year ago on Google
    You now have to order through your phone so what is the service charge for? Just delivering the food to your table? Food was lovely as usual.

    Great chicken rice, unexpectedly reasonable. The service is really quick and the staff are also quite attentive and have a good gesture. Would definitely go back again.

    Great food at a reasonable price. Family restaurant. A bit noisy. Service is fast

  • 1/5 Anisha s. 6 months ago on Google
    I had a really disappointing experience at that place. The mugs and plates were dirty, and when we asked for replacements, the response was less than satisfactory. Mold on the plates was particularly off-putting. Definitely won't be returning.

  • 5/5 Angie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely would come back again when I am in Penang!

    The Chicken Rice Shop chain is at many mall and location. Their infamous steamed chicken and also their signature chicken rice are above average and edible. We loved their curry chicken with potatoes which is very creamy, tasty and the aromatic spices filled gravy. It's mouth watering and goes well with rice or roti canai. TCRS is located at 1st Avenue Lower Ground beside Sushi King.

    The customer service is good. There wasn't many people, even during peak hour. The nasi ayam is great. Would recommend fish assam pedas here 👍

  • 1/5 Amira Madihah K. 3 years ago on Google
    bad service, almost one hour of waiting, but still didn't get my food yet, not just that, when i insisted to pay for only the appetisers that i got, they suddenly said my food was already ready to be served, then they packed it for to-go so badly . overall, its really a bad experience for me and my family.

    (Translated by Google) A chain store on the basement floor of 1st Avenue Mall. It's close to Komta's bus center, and it's late at night. I ordered the curry Chic Combo Chicken Rice curry and rice cooked with chicken stock, and I was surprised at how delicious the curry was. The restaurant looks like a family restaurant, so I entered without any expectations, but where in Malaysia is curry good? The restaurant name is Chicken Rice Shop, so I would like to try Hainan Chicken Rice this time. (Original) 1st Avenue Mallの地階にあるチェーン店。コムタのバスセンターから近く、夜も遅くまでやっています。メニューのおすすめ「Curry Chic Combo Chicken Rice」カレーとチキン出汁で炊いたライスがセットになったものを注文しましたが、カレーが想像以上においしくてびっくりしました。店の見た目がファミレスっぽくて、全然期待せずに入店したのですが、マレーシアはカレーはどこで食べてもおいしいのかな?店名がチキンライスショップなので、今度は海南チキンライスを食べてみたいです。

    Roasted Chicken not FRESH and wanton's meat also tasted weird, need to improve on the food quality otherwise business will be affected.

  • 1/5 Invatam E. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    If I could I would give - 100 stars. There is no words, the picture speaks for itself, the chicken was alive on the plate. If you care for your health, do not go to this place
