Having read the one negative review here regarding the Hainan Chicken Rice at Savoy, I feel it necessary to point out that, while far from a "traditional" Hainan Chicken Rice, it is still incredibly tasty, and excellent flavor should never be neglected due to the recipe being "tainted" by changing some things. No, the chicken doesn't have yellow skin, nor is the chili the right sort. The ginger has no green onions in it, and the soy sauce isn't thick. So if you're looking for a genuine Hainan Chicken Rice experience, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for a tasty meal at a decent price, definitely check Savoy out. And on the note of tasty meals, the escargot and baked halibut are also quite amazing, not to mention the pizzas and pastas. I have yet to find anything on the menu that I don't enjoy. However, if you are a vegetarian, or have vegetarian friends, Savoy may not be the best place to go. While they have a "margarita" pizza, there is little on the menu that doesn't have some form of meat in it.
Pros: Great food, decent prices, friendly staff.
Cons: Not "genuine" Hainan Chicken Rice, limited vegetarian selection.

I really enjoyed the hainan chicken dish here. The rice was so flavorful after being cooked with chicken stock. They also give a really good amount of chicken for a very decent and affordable price. It tastes amazing after you mix it with the ginger oil, soy sauce, and hot sauce. The restaurant itself is a bit small and cramped, which can mean a long wait almost any time of the day due to its popularity. Still, I think it's worth the wait and I would definitely go back again.
Pros: low prices, great hainan chicken dish
Cons: limited parking, extremely limited amount of seats
