Man Chan Cuisine - San Gabriel

Came here with my coworker, she had been talking about this place and their Hainan chicken for a while, saying it was the best in the area. I hadn't tried it until today and wow it really is the best one in the area.The hainan chicken is so popular but I tried their French styled filet mignon and it's so succulent and juicy!!!Definitely also give this a try if you stop by!

Service, by what I'm guessing is one of the owners was great. Sadly, she was working the front by herself and the tables filled quickly while I was there. They spoke at least 3 languages while I was there, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Food came promptly and was delicious. We started off with complementary soup/bone broth, Hainan chicken plate, and the owners recommended vegetable plate. Everything we ate was tasty, but I can't remember all of the names. I do remember the accompanying sauces for the Hainan chicken went well together.

Ol ' skool place, with very attentive folks. They 've been here for a while. I 've been here once many years ago, but honestly, I don 't hit them often enough. Their food is really good. Tried their house chicken with their namesake, and it 's SUPER soft.The braised pork was good. Every bite I had was really soft. BUT, my friends also caught some pieces that were also not AS soft, so... Almost there, just a step away from perfect. One of those friends would still disagree though, because he 'd much rather have the Shanghai style red-braised pork, Yes, the red dye, sugar, and a side order of cardio-infarction please! The braised pork here is more savory than sweet. But I liked it!Their Filet Mignon wasn 't bad either! If they gave a larger portion, and the inside was softer while maintaining that glazed protective layer, by cutting them up into slightly larger pieces, they would actually be on par with Tân Cảng 新港 . BUT still good!!! Especially for the price!

What a delicious place! I have been on a hunt for amazing Hainan chicken. So my cravings for it has been crazy! I am glad I found this location. Their chicken is seasoned to perfection. I would say the rice needs a little more flavor, but it was really well cooked. The soup that it comes with.. MY GAWD it was delicious. I would go back just for the chicken and soup and be completely satisfied.. I probably need to lay off the rice anyways.. haha Can't wait to try the rest of their menu!

I think this place is over rated,. the hainan chicken is nothing special, steamed rice dont even have the chicken broth flavor!!! i dont think i will go back again!!
