Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice operates as a food stall within ION Orchard's Food Opera on Level B4 (phone: 6509 9198), serving the signature Singaporean dish with options between steamed or roasted chicken and small, medium, or large portion sizes. Menu pricing positions the stall accessibly within the food court environment, with small plates starting at $4.50 for chicken rice with broth, drumstick with rice at $5, standard plates at $6.90, sets at $8.20, and large servings at $12.80.
The Sergeant Chicken Rice Combo for Two costs $10.50, providing value-oriented options for shared dining. Add-ons include egg (+$2), vegetables without sauce (+$5), and lime juice ($2.50), enabling customization beyond standard offerings. The food court location provides communal seating typical of Singapore hawker-style environments within a mall setting.
The stall represents one format for experiencing Hainanese chicken rice, Singapore's most iconic dish, within a climate-controlled retail environment rather than traditional hawker centers. The ION location serves mall visitors seeking quick, affordable local food options during shopping activities, delivering the classic combination of poached or roasted chicken, fragrant rice cooked in chicken stock, and accompanying condiments that define this cornerstone of Singaporean cuisine.
1. Rice: A let down. Dry and not fragrant at all.
2. Steamed White Chicken: It came Laden with Thick Sauce over the chicken. Failed!
3. Green Vegetables 🥬 set: Was pathetic and dull looking.
Price:
Set: $8.20
Just Chicken Rice Plate: $6.90
Ion Food Opera Sergeant Chicken Rice certainly FAILS to live up to the expectations associated with this beloved Singaporean dish.

Chicken rice in food court with long queue but it wasn’t worth my wait. I have tried several chicken rice in Singapore but this one is such a disappointment.
The rice was on the dry side, chicken was so so and sauces were lack of flavors.
I also ordered a set for takeaway. When I opened the box, I was shocked with the tiny size they gave. Not worth the money.

The chicken rice here is a sublime expression of culinary precision. The tender, silky chicken, aromatic rice infused with chicken fat and ginger, and delicately balanced chili sauce create a harmonious, soul-satisfying experience. One of the better chicken rice sold in a mall , it was, without a doubt, a great experience—one that lingers on the palate and in the heart.

The Taste are good and delicious. This chicken is my daughter favorite. The taste when i visited in March 2025 smells are good. The ginger and chili are good taste too. The chicken are tender and juicy, they use broiller not kampung chicken. I order 2 style

We heard about Singapore being famous for Hainanese Chicken. Since almost everywhere you will find this dish. It just so happen that we are staying near ION Orchard and we found this recommended by google map. Little did we expect that it is just a food stall in the food court of ION Orchard. It was a pleasant surprise.
We got there at lunch time and the food court was packed. After finding a table, I went to order the different sizes of Hainanese Chicken. Small for my wife, medium for me and large for my son. The price was cheap for a filling meal. My son was surprised how much I paid.
I have tasted a lot of Hainanese Chicken in Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines. I could say that this rank on my top list of stores. Love it.

This chicken rice stall in Food Opera, ION Orchard serves up really good and delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice. Surprisingly this stall was not crowded during meal time and this stall deserves the praise for serving simple yet flavourful chicken rice.
STAFF: Attentive and able to take orders to your preference.
FOOD QUALITY: Outstanding. The chicken itself, roasted or steamed retains the flavour really well and the meat is succulent and tender. The rice itself is steamed well and has a nice garlicky flavour. The chilli hits the spot as well.
PRICING: Reasonable.
