Hainan Chicken House rotates worthwhile weekend specials like nasi lemak, 'Grandma's curry puffs,' and Singapore chili crab, chalked up on the whiteboard behind the counter, and Hell Gate reports these weekend specials 'often lead to short lines' (Hell Gate).
Because the small counter can sell out of specials, Hell Gate advises arriving early on weekends or ordering ahead, especially for anyone traveling in from Manhattan or other boroughs.
