Our take: Xiang Ji Chicken Rice garners a mixed reception, with some patrons hailing it as an 'old school' classic and others finding it underwhelming.
The steamed white chicken is frequently praised for its moistness, and the rice is often described as fragrant.
However, the char siew addition receives criticism for being too lean and lacking flavour, and portion sizes for the $6 plate are noted as small.
The chilli also appears to be a point of contention, with some finding it lacking in kick.
We note consistent feedback regarding long queues, especially during lunch, which can extend to 30 minutes.
A significant concern raised is the perceived queue-cutting by regulars, leading to frustration for those waiting.
While some find the overall experience 'ok' and are willing to return, others, particularly those who travel a distance, express severe disappointment.
The free soup, often cabbage-based, is generally well-received.
Verdict: A reliable option if you're in the Bedok area and appreciate old-school chicken rice, but be prepared for potential queue frustrations and manage expectations regarding portion sizes and the char siew.
Skip the peak lunch rush if possible.

What customers say
Xiang Ji Chicken Rice is praised by long-time customers for its "old school" fragrant rice, moist chicken, and tasty soup, with some calling it one of the best in Singapore.
However, newer customers express disappointment with long queues, perceived queue-cutting for regulars, and small portion sizes for the price, particularly for char siew which is often lean.
The chilli is also noted as lacking kick by some, while others find the overall experience acceptable despite minor issues like poorly chopped chicken.

One of the best old school chicken rice in Singapore. Always long queue during lunch hours. Price reasonable!
Rice is super fragrant, chicken is moist, soup is cabbage with salt. Added char siew, all lean meat and meat portion is quite little.
Been eating this chicken rice for over 20 years. Started when I stayed in Bedok, and even after moving to Marsiling, I still come back to eat. My children all love it. The rice is fragrant, the chicke…
