Hainan Chicken Rice Worth Writing About.
"So far this place makes the best Hainan chicken I’ve ever tasted in the states... Their Hainan chicken is very reminiscent of those found in Malaysia and Singapore."

"So flavorful. So deeply comforting. Such classic hawker fare. And hands down one of the best iterations I have found is at Nam An in Westminster.”

What's So Special About Our Chicken Rice?
More Than Our Best Seller - It's the Soul of Nam An.
Hainan chicken rice is where Nam An started and what made us a local favorite. We slow-poach whole free-range chickens daily, butcher and de-bone them to order, and serve them over fragrant jasmine rice with house-made ginger scallion, chili, and soy sauces. A clear, clean broth completes the plate.
Whether you're from Laguna Beach, San Jose, or Houston, our guests say nobody makes it like we do. If you’ve heard of us, you’ve probably heard about the chicken rice.
Want thigh only? Breast meat? No skin? No problem. Every plate is made to your preference.
There's no wrong way to enjoy it—only your way.
Need a quick protein-packed meal between meetings or after a workout? This is your go-to.
Clean, satisfying, and ready fast.
More to Love at Nam An
Chicken Phở
Aromatic chicken broth simmered for hours, poured over rice noodles and slow-poached chicken. Finished with herbs and green onions. Light, clean, and perfect for lunch, recovery, or anytime you need something real and comforting.
Crispy Rice with Lemongrass Chicken
Pan-seared sticky rice with our house-marinated lemongrass chicken breast. Served with a rich soy dipping sauce. Packed with textures, protein, and love, this dish is crispy, savory, and unlike anything else.
Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
Our boldest bowl. A rich, lemongrass-spiced broth layered with slow-simmered beef shank, pork hock, and thick round noodles. Topped with fragrant herbs and a side of shredded greens. Savory, spicy, and deeply satisfying.
Comfort. Craft. Culture.
Nam An is where these three values come together to deliver Vietnamese comfort food with precision and heart.
Our signature chicken rice sets the tone for everything we do: we slow-poach free-range chicken daily, butcher it to order, and pair it with fragrant rice, house-made sauces, and a clean, clear chicken broth.
Every dish reflects years of refinement, deep respect for heritage, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Born from family recipes and built to last, Nam An is a second kitchen for anyone chasing new flavors or craving familiarity.
