Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Ming Ji Chicken Rice is that it presents a mixed bag, with past patrons noting a decline in quality.

While some reviews praise the sauce as a highlight, the chicken itself, rice, and chili frequently receive criticism for lacking flavor, fragrance, and proper texture.

The chicken is described as 'soft not tender' and 'lack of the taste of Hainanese chicken,' with the rice being 'hard' and not fragrant.

The chili, a crucial component, is often found to be 'too watery.' Customer service is a recurring point of contention, with multiple accounts detailing staff annoyance over common customer actions like using CDC vouchers or asking questions.

While some found the service fast, others felt it was brusque and unaccommodating.

A half-chicken set for two is priced at $20, and a chicken thigh and liver plate at $8, indicating a mid-range price point for hawker fare.

We'd recommend Ming Ji only if you're in the immediate vicinity and prioritize speed over a consistently high-quality chicken rice experience, particularly given the reported issues with both food standards and service.

At a certain point, chicken rice has to be established as a dish that has a high floor, but low ceiling. While the line wasn't that bad, chicken rice is generally rarely disappointing. That being said…

Disappointing to be honest with the chicken , rice and chilli. Chicken is not tender like in the past. I used to even like the breast meat. Rice is hard at 6pm and not the oily fragrant ones in the pa…
