Founded by chefs and hospitality operators with a shared vision of elevating comfort food through global influence, Hainan and Jones was created as a modern take on classic diner culture with a focus on quality ingredients and bold, nostalgic flavors. Rooted in the spirit of community dining, the concept brings together Asian and Western culinary influences, most notably inspired by Hainanese cuisine and American diner traditions. Located in New York City, Hainan and Jones has built a loyal following for its signature Hainan chicken rice, crispy fried chicken sandwiches, and thoughtfully crafted comfort dishes that reinterpret familiar classics with precision and care.

Every dish begins with a commitment to technique, balance, and high quality ingredients. Free range chicken, fragrant rice, house made sauces, and fresh herbs are prepared through methods that honor traditional Hainanese cooking while incorporating modern culinary standards. By blending heritage inspired recipes with contemporary presentation and fast casual accessibility, Hainan and Jones creates an experience that is both comforting and elevated, offering food that feels familiar, refined, and deeply satisfying.
