    The chicken rice served in this restaurant is excellent! The chicken is cooked incredibly well, so smooth in texture, as well as so tender that melts in your mouth. The flavour of their rice is also very good, however a little on the greasy side, but nevertheless, it is still filled with goodness! Alongside this, you have a plate of bean sprouts marinated with oyster sauce. This may sound simple, but it is packed with flavour, believe me. And then their soup - the broth is also so sensational. Ultimately, very delicious! Give it a go everybody!

    Good chicken outlet for variety of chicken dishes- Hainanese, Roast, Soya Sauce or even Masala chicken. Served with white or chicken rice or even noodles. There’s a variety of set meals with drinks which are economical. Also local delights such as Adam fish, Rojak n Kueh paiti- all quite yummy! Portions are reasonable and prices are average. Seatings were fairly comfortable n there was no need to wait for tables. Staff were efficient n service was quite fast. A good place for a fast meal.

    The Chicken Rice Shop serves the best and consistent standard of chicken rice in flavor, tastiness and tender chicken all year round. We loved their Honey Roasted Chicken and Char Siew. This time we ordered their set for three... we selected Honey Roasted Chicken, Steamed Chicken, Fish Balls, Okra, Pie Tee, Kerabu Mangoes and Rice. It was as expected, the soup and rice were steaming hot and delicious. Never fail to fill our stomach when we desire a good chicken rice. Good for children, family and friends.

    I passed by this place many times, and I was curious about the food. The place looked OK, but I wasn't sure of what to ask for. The lady at the entrance told me to try yhe barbecue chicken with rice, which I think it's the staple food here (hence the name), and I was pleased with the food and the drinks quality. They pat attention to small details, like the cutlery in the chicken shaped basket, and that I really liked. The only problem is the soup... I did not try it, but it didn't add to the experience. The price? 19 RM (less than $5). Not bad.

    Gorgeous meal, I ordered the chicken curry set for 1 and mum ordered the wantan noodles. She ruined her diet as she couldn't resist, haha. We went on a weekday around 5pm and the food came to us so quickly, all nice, hot, fresh, the premise was also clean. Friendly staff. Keep it up guys.

  • 4/5 Ronnie P. 1 year ago on Google
    For the taste we give 5 star... But for the description only 4 star due to inconsistency compare to the real product (we order crispy chicken but the chicken comes with no crispy at all, even i cant notice the chicken is my order hahaha). For the price.... Very ramah dikantong (wallet friendly)

    Remove your robot please. Just making nose, not usefull at all. What for you still charge your 10% service as there is no more service? I agree to pay service when service is given by staff not by your robot.

  • 3/5 Esther H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there with my family back in September. Food was quite nice except for the dessert & wonton soup. Quite busy with dinner rush but food was served in a timely manner. One thing that was quite annoying was the ordering system doesn’t show you the dish on the menu if they have sold out. I only managed to get that clarified by one of the waiter as there were a couple of dishes we wanted to order but could not find it after we scanned the QR code to order.

    I mostly go for their Hainanese curry 🐔. They're roasted 🐔 & other flavours are not to my liking. A good place for a simple filling meal.

  • 4/5 akarosco 1 year ago on Google
    Great food & great service. Very pleasantly surprised when we visited for lunch recently. We had two choices from the lunch menu which were both enjoyable. This may be a large restaurant chain, but our experience was memorable for all the right reasons. Really delicious food was also complemented by very pleasant service staff. Keep up the great work.👍🏻

    We have been going to this outlet for the past 10 years. Having visited many restaurants on the planet, this outlet has remained consistent in terms of authenticity of food & quantity served. The only thing which has slipped is the portion of chicken in the curry. Hotels should learn the art of serving consistently good food….all of the time.

    Workers are trained to ignore customers especially by foreign workers to local customers. They may prioritize foreign customers than local customers. U may need to order at the counter because of the ignorance. Consistent with previous reviews of ignorance by previous customers. Owner should consider to ask his/her spies to prove it wrong. Do improve it in order to sustain your business. Not surprising if customers hate Chicken Rice brand in future just because of bad services in certain centres

  • 5/5 Brainy Ghost (. 5 months ago on Google
    Of all the TCRS outlets in Penang, to me TCRS Gurney Plaza outlet serve the best. The roasted chicken is tender and well cooked. Gado-gado portion is nice, vegetables are fresh and the gravy is so tasty. Assam fish also tasty. Chicken rice also fluffy. Worth the money. The staff also friendly.

    Nothing exciting...

  • 4/5 Benny K. 3 years ago on Google
    This is truly a Singapore standard kind of chicken rice. The chicken is 85% perfectly fine. Roast chicken is very good. Definitely not overrated. Good job. I hope the standard is still good.

  • 4/5 Kee Lin L. 6 years ago on Google
    We've been here for several times, and the foods quality are above average than other TCRS branches. + Friendly service + Fast servings + Consistent quality + Nice environment - Sometime here may be crowded, and probably you may need to wait for a while Recommendations: 3 layers ice tea, fried crispy wan tan, grilled crispy chicken

    Good. The restaurant is clean, an air conditioning, their staff was very pleasant and the food is delicious. This branch much bigger compared to the one at Village Mall, Sg. Petani.

    Disgusting food with rats and poor staff hygienic. I just reported you to the food hygienic division. Not the first time for your brand. Shut it down if you unwilling to run restaurant business properly

  • 4/5 Kaum 6 years ago on Google
    I'm eating there quite regularly, the food is nice, the price is reasonable. It's always quite long waiting time even when the place is not crowded. Sometimes I have to make clean again the table and/or change the cuttlery who isn't washed properly. Nevertheless the staff is nice and always helping on request.

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
