For Singapore-style chicken rice in Hai Phong, Sing Chicken is an option with branches at 116 Van Cao and AEON Mall Hai Phong Le Chan. Choose Van Cao if it is convenient to your hotel, or the mall branch when you want to combine a meal with shopping or time indoors.
The restaurant serves several chicken-and-rice dishes, including Hainanese-style chicken rice and roast chicken rice. Decide whether you want an individual meal or shared dishes before ordering: a rice plate, a chicken-leg version and a combo are different purchases.
Which Sing Chicken branch should you choose?
116 Van Cao
- Address: 116 Văn Cao, Hai Phong.
- Branch phone: 0225 883 2116; from an international number, +84 225 883 2116.
- Best for: a meal close to accommodation on or around Van Cao Street.
Use the street number as well as the name when booking a ride. “Cơm gà Singapore” describes a style of food as well as appearing in the restaurant’s name, so a broad map search may lead to a different business.
Plan this branch around lunch or dinner and call before a midafternoon visit. Confirm the kitchen’s serving times for your day, especially if you need to eat before a train, bus or airport transfer. For a larger group, ask about a table and the time needed to prepare your order.
AEON Mall Hai Phong Le Chan
- Address: Floor 1, AEON Mall Hai Phong Le Chan, 10 Võ Nguyên Giáp, Hai Phong.
- Branch phone: 0225 363 6188; internationally, +84 225 363 6188.
- Listed hours: 10 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekdays; 9 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Confirm kitchen service and last orders separately.
- Best for: combining lunch or dinner with an existing mall visit.
Look for Cơm Gà Singapore / Sing Chicken on the directory. The mall also lists a separate business called KamPungSing; do not assume the two names refer to the same restaurant.
Allow time to walk between the restaurant and your pickup point. If you are carrying suitcases, settle storage and seating with the venue rather than assuming there will be space beside your table. A mall meal is easier to fit into your day when the pickup location is already agreed.
What to order
Start with the chicken-rice section if you want the meal that gives the restaurant its name. These Vietnamese menu terms help distinguish the main choices:
- Cơm gà Hải Nam: Hainanese-style chicken rice, a starting choice for the restaurant’s core chicken-and-rice meal.
- Cơm gà quay Hải Nam: the roast chicken rice option. “Quay” distinguishes it from the other Hainanese-style chicken dish.
- Cơm đùi gà Hải Nam: a chicken-leg rice option. Ask how the serving differs from the regular chicken rice before choosing it for a child or sharing.
- Chảo cơm đùi gà nướng: a grilled chicken-leg rice dish served in a pan, for a different preparation.
The menu also has beef, ribs, rice, noodle and vegetable sections. For two or more diners, compare individual plates with the actual contents of a combo. Ask how many people it serves and whether rice, vegetables, soup and drinks are included; a combo number does not tell you its portion size.
Keep sauces separate if you want to control how much you add. If you need boneless chicken, ask explicitly rather than assuming a rice dish has been deboned.
How to compare the cost of your meal
Check the menu for the branch and dining format you will use. The restaurant publishes separate dine-in and delivery menus, as well as a holiday menu, so an online offer may not apply to your table.
Online product prices are marked as excluding VAT. Before ordering, check the final payable amount, including any applicable tax, drinks, extra rice and delivery charges. Compare complete meals rather than a basic plate against a combo containing several items.
For delivery to a hotel, provide the full hotel name, address and a reachable contact number. Confirm which branch will prepare the food, the estimated arrival time and any delivery fee or minimum order. Ask reception whether food can be received in the lobby, particularly if you plan to leave soon afterward.
Useful phrases for ordering
- “Cho tôi một suất cơm gà Hải Nam.” One portion of Hainanese chicken rice, please.
- “Cho sốt riêng, không cho ớt.” Sauce separately, with no added chili, please.
- “Gà có xương không?” Does the chicken have bones?
- “Combo này dành cho mấy người?” How many people is this combo for?
- “Giá đã bao gồm thuế chưa?” Does the price include tax?
For an allergy or dietary restriction, show the exact ingredient you must avoid and ask the kitchen about the rice, broth, sauces and preparation. Ordering a chicken dish alone does not establish that the whole meal meets your requirements. If halal certification matters to you, ask about certification before choosing the restaurant.
Fitting the meal into your Hai Phong day
Choose the branch that keeps you near your next activity. Van Cao makes sense when you are already staying nearby; AEON Mall is more useful when shopping or an indoor break is part of your plan. There is little reason to cross the city just to change branches.
For a simple sit-down meal, leave roughly an hour as a planning allowance, plus travel and any queue. If your departure time is fixed, tell staff when you need to leave and choose a straightforward order. Confirm the current menu and serving time, then enjoy the meal without building your next connection around an assumed fast turnaround.
