About

About Savoy Kitchen

Savoy Kitchen opened its doors in 1982 on East Valley Boulevard in Alhambra, California — a city long known as a hub of San Gabriel Valley's vibrant food scene. From the start, the restaurant built its reputation on a single extraordinary dish: Hainan Chicken Rice, a Southeast Asian classic featuring silky poached chicken served over fragrant rice cooked in rich chicken broth, accompanied by three essential dipping sauces — minced ginger with scallions in oil, sweet soy sauce, and a bright sambal of red chili and lime juice. The dish became so iconic that it's now painted on the side of the adjacent parking structure, announcing "Famous Hainan Chicken Since 1982" to anyone passing by.

What sets Savoy Kitchen apart from other Hainan chicken houses is the breadth of its menu. Owner-driven since its founding, the kitchen draws on both Chinese culinary tradition and European comfort food to offer house-made pizzas on fresh potato dough, Malaysian-style coconut milk curries, Italian-influenced pastas, and specials like baked escargot and braised oxtail that rotate through the weekly lineup. The result is an eccentric, deeply personal menu that reflects decades of cooking for a loyal Alhambra neighborhood crowd.

Savoy Kitchen is open Monday through Saturday and remains a cash-and-carry neighborhood institution. Despite its low-key setting, it draws food enthusiasts from across the Los Angeles area who make the pilgrimage for the chicken rice that put the restaurant on the culinary map of Southern California. With over four decades of continuous operation and thousands of five-star reviews on Yelp, Savoy Kitchen stands as one of the San Gabriel Valley's most enduring dining destinations.
