Why Dine at Ricky's Chicken Rice

Authentic Hainanese chicken rice, comforting hawker favourites, and flexible casual dining in North Adelaide.

  • Customizable Chicken Cuts and Preparations

    Diners can tailor their chicken rice orders to personal preferences, selecting between steamed or crispy fried chicken as well as boneless breast or thigh cuts.

    Loved that they offer different combinations to go with the meal, eg steamed or fried chicken, rice or noodles and choices of chicken portion.

  • Complete Bundled Set Meals

    Chicken rice plates come as generous complete meals accompanied by fragrant seasoned rice, bok choy vegetables, fried egg, and savory soup.

    $17 for the below plate which came with a side of soup, fried egg, and bok choy. Mostly boneless so was easy to eat. Choice between leg meat or breast meat was great too.

  • Wok-Fired Hawker Specialties and Rich Laksa

    Diners praise the rich, aromatic laksa broth loaded with ingredients alongside wok-fired char kwai teow featuring authentic wok hei char.

    Kwai Teow had a really nice wok hei flavour and the Laksa was filled with toppings!

  • Quick and Easy Solo Dining

    A casual, welcoming setup enables solo diners to get a fast, hearty lunch straight from the wok without fuss.

    Quite casual, you can eat alone.

  • Pet-Friendly Outdoor Seating

    Staff readily accommodate pet owners by setting up additional outdoor seating and taking orders tableside so guests stay comfortable with their dogs.

    accommodated us with our little dogs even as the tables outside were full, going as far to physically bring out another table.
