Reviews for Rooster & Rice in San Jose, CA
The guy who took my order was super nice & fast but the food portion ?Chicken? was very skimp for $16.00 I had to make... additional sides to go with my meal. Ive seen other photos where people got a hefty portion of chicken but I did not. Sauce wasgood! Read more
I am very very disappointed at this place! I ordered online, they did not even out any sauce in there for me which is the key... for their chicken and also I paid extra dollars for adding tofu, they did not give to me either. I called them, nobody answersand they already closed at 6. So I could eat my dinner fresh, I have to save them in the fridge! This is the first time I boughtthere, probably will be the last time too! Very very upset! Read more
Chicken and rice were ok. Sauce was good. But the overall experience ....mah/mah. There are about 3 restaurants in the strip... mall with chicken/rooster in their name and about four others that serve chicken dishes. With a limited menu of only chicken Iguess I expected more. Due to Covid (10/2020) you have to eat outside and in a San Jose strip mall on a warm afternoon that isbrutal. It doesn't help that your view is a vast parking lot of cars, with the horns and the racing. Because this is a stripmall there are no deliveries in the back so a food service semi-truck pulls right up to the tables with engine and refrigeratormotor blasting. Lastly the service was sub par and the app expects you to tip 15% on top of 10% sales tax just to take theprepared fast food, put it in a bag and put it on the counter. Not really tippable service.

Decent chicken rice spot when you want something quick but higher quality. I can see this place as a weekday healthy-ish lunch... spot. The #1 plate is their most popular and probably the first timers choice. The white meat wasn?t terribly dry...butnoticeably drier than the dark and I found myself pushing those pieces off to the side. Wish they offered the choice of all darkmeat. The broth that comes with the meal was light and pleasant, complementing the meal. The sauce was tangy and adds acidityto the chicken. I believe this place serves thai style chicken rice but I definitely still prefer the ginger scallion sauce ofHainan chicken rice. The rice was pretty flavorful, but there was definitely too much of it. I don?t think I even managed tofinish half before finishing the chicken. Read more
Finally I could try the food I have been wanted to try out ???????????? I loved it ! I'll come back again ???? The cashier guy... was so nice and friendly! Read more
Hainan chicken! ???? I wanted to try this restaurant before, and finally got the chance due to Yelp event. Fried Chichen skin is... special and delicious here. HIGHLIGHT was the Thai sause for Hainan chicken rice. The staff are really nice and friendly. Read more
The food was decent but its definitely not the best value. There was an additional $2 for ?vegetables? but all I received was a... cup of unflavored, steamed broccoli. I could have walked across the parking lot and bought my own broccoli from Sprouts. Read more
As of 2022: It's back to normal. Updating - the food is delish. BUT I don't really care for their sauce. They do offer ginger... and garlic olio for extra - I like that one more, but I think I get a little gas from it ? If only they have more sauceofferings, it could even be better. 2020: It would be nice if the owners take ownership of this listing as it keeps saying it'sopen incorrectly. It's still CLOSED from the COVID19 when I last drove by around April 22nd. I've been sending my business toSizzling Lunch across the street (no association to me). I will update when they finally do open. Read more
