Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Hai Kee Chicken Rice in Toa Payoh offers a straightforward take on the classic hawker dish, with a focus on value.

We note that the $4 chicken rice, with an additional 50-cent rice and braised egg, totals $5.50, making it an affordable option.

The oil rice is consistently described as moist and fluffy, and the grated ginger in oil sauce is a highlight, often praised for elevating the chicken.

However, the soy sauce chicken itself receives mixed reviews; some find it tasty, while others describe it as dry, roughly chopped, and lacking the robust soy sauce aroma of its past iterations.

The accompanying soup is frequently cited as bland and underseasoned.

While the portions, especially the rice, are generous for the price, the overall flavour profile appears to be a point of contention for those seeking a more impactful taste.

We'd recommend it for a budget-friendly, filling meal, especially if you appreciate a good ginger sauce.

Best for a quick, no-frills lunch, but manage expectations regarding the chicken's flavour depth and the soup.

What customers say

Hai Kee Chicken Rice in Toa Payoh receives mixed reviews, with customers appreciating its value for money and generous rice portions, particularly the $3-$5 chicken rice options.

While some praise the tasty chicken, moist and fluffy oil rice, and excellent ginger and chili sauces, others find the soy chicken dry, bland, or a 'faded version' of its past glory, noting issues with the char siew, soup, and lack of soya sauce flavor.

Queue times can reach 15 minutes, and popular items like char siew may sell out by early afternoon.
