Mr Hainan at VivoCity brings authentic Hainanese cuisine to Singapore's dining scene, elevating the beloved local favorite beyond simple chicken rice to showcase the rich culinary heritage of Hainan Island. This restaurant specializes in traditional dishes that have defined Hainanese cooking for generations, with a particular focus on Wenchang Chicken, one of Hainan's renowned "Four Famous Dishes." The commitment to authenticity extends to every detail, from cooking techniques to the distinctive flavors that set Hainanese cuisine apart from Singapore-style adaptations.
The menu features carefully prepared signature dishes including the celebrated Hainan Wenchang Chicken, available in half or whole portions, and the equally impressive Hainan Jiaji Duck. Seafood lovers can savor the Threadfin prepared two ways – with tangy Assam sauce and yellow lantern chilli, or with savory black bean sauce. Comfort food options include the Haikou East Gate Beef Brisket Pot, Hainan Prosperity Pot, and the light yet satisfying Luffa and Glass Noodle in Chicken Broth. Rather than Singapore's typical red chilli sauce, the restaurant stays true to Hainanese tradition with authentic accompaniments and their signature Assam drink, completing the genuine island dining experience.
Located on Level 2 of VivoCity, Mr Hainan operates daily from 12pm to 9:30pm, making it an ideal lunch or dinner destination for both mall shoppers and those seeking an authentic taste of Hainan. The restaurant's dedication to preserving traditional flavors while maintaining high culinary standards has made it a standout among VivoCity's diverse dining options. Whether you're familiar with Hainanese cuisine or discovering it for the first time, Mr Hainan offers an educational and delicious journey through the island's culinary treasures.

First visit to this bright and cheerful restaurant and was blown away by the chicken! It’s absolutely delicious! My new chicken rice place to go to! The fish was so very soft and fresh. The green vegetable is sweet and refreshing, something unexpected!

My first time trying stir fry lotus stem. The vermicelli is very fragrant. Duck will be best if you guys remove the bones. But still nice.

As a mum always on the lookout for good food for lady club gathering.
I was so glad a friend recommended this spot for authentic Hainanese cuisine in Singapore.
Good for group gathering and lady chat.
