Stopped by to have lunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and there was a decent amount of people. But after having the 1/4 chicken + 2 sides, i understand! The chicken was tasty, the maduros were cooked well and the fries were perfection. I love that it's a casual place where you order at the counter and pick up the food yourself. There were a good amount of tables so it wasn't too bad finding a seat and eating there. read more

Chirp - 1/4 Chicken Combo + 2 Sides - Peruvian Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered delivery for lunch. The mushroom sandwich was tasty. It was loaded with tender, seasoned mushrooms. The bread was buttery and fresh. The pork confit sandwich was dry and definitely needed the accompanying sauce to improve the texture. I also enjoyed the yuca fries and sweet plantains. Everything was hot upon arrival. read more

I took my mom to Chirp for Mother's Day lunch. Based on the website photos I was expecting a proper sit down restaurant with table service. That is not what Chirp is. They have seats. But you order at the front, pick up your own food, box it yourself when you are done, and discard your own trash. I was the server today. That should be noted upfront because the website does not exactly make that clear. That said, the food was good. I got a stir fry dish with beef, fries, tomatoes and platanos. Mama bear got a Spanish chaufa which is basically the Peruvian version of fried rice. She seemed to enjoy it. I also got a side of squash soup which was pretty good. We washed it all down with Jarritos, the Mexican soda. Solid choice. Now the restroom situation. Chirp does not have a public restroom. My mom was bothered by that and I could see her starting to make it a thing. I had to nip that in the bud. I get it, I understand, but that is not the hill I die on. No restroom, no worries. It is what it is. The cashier was nice. The food got me full quick. I brought some home for wifey since she is a fan of Spanish food too. Overall Chirp is fine for what it is. It is more of a quick meal and delivery spot than a dinner service restaurant. If you go in knowing that you will probably enjoy it. If you go in expecting a proper sit down experience like I did, you might be caught off guard. Now you know. read more

It's easy to see why this spot is so popular during lunch hours. While there are plenty of grab-and-go options nearby, Chirp stands out for its refined atmosphere and excellent lunch selections. I enjoyed my meal, but I have to admit my friend's dish was even better. Next time, I'll try theirs instead. BB read more

Great food. So affordable. Quick, casual and easy. If you're looking for well made food and you're not looking for fancy sit down-this is a great option. No alcohol. No table service just a nice meal before a show! read more

Great taste and value Peruvian spot. Got a 1/4 chicken with rice, maduros, and spicy sauce for under $15 which is unheard of these days. The chicken was delicious and perfectly cooked, maduros hit the spot, and the spicy sauce had a nice flavor to it. Will definitely be coming back here for lunch! read more

This was my first time here. I ordered the 1/2 chicken combo with 2 sides. For my sides I had white rice and beans. 1/2 chicken was a lot of food for a person. I probably could've gotten away with the 1/4 chicken. The food was ready quickly and had so much flavor!!! And for the amount of food you get the price is fair. They also sell Inca Kola here which is pretty cool. I'll come back here!!! read more

This was my second time here in about 6 years and I am convinced I tried their sandwich the first time . However the second time left a more lasting impression .I ended up eating it on the run as they were closing and found the only positive thing about the sandwich being the amount of chicken they packed into it . The toppings weren't evenly distributed at all and it was as though no care was taken to make the sandwich. Not even the sauce was spread evenly , so parts of it were quite dry . I mostly just detected an abundance of salt used for seasoning and very little flavor until I bit into the plantain . I will not recommend the sandwich at all although maybe their entrees are better. read more

A pleasant surprise on a quiet Thursday, pre-holiday weekend. I was in the mood for something that wasn't a giant fast food chain (which is 90% of this area), and I'd noticed this little guy an avenue block away or so from my office. It's just far enough away from the chaos of MSG/Penn Station where it's not overloaded with tourists staring slack-jawed at the taxis and skyscrapers, and honestly probably a little too edgy for them anyway. Big selling point for me. I wandered in here around 1pm yesterday. Since it was the day before the 4th of July, it was pretty quiet - I'm sure most of their demo is the almighty office worker, many of whom were already presumably chilling out at the shore with their PBRs. A few people made comments within earshot that it was much less chaotic than usual, and given that there's a written disclaimer by the counter that customers should expect a 20-minute wait for the rice bowls during rush hour, I'm 100% planning to order ahead the next time I'm hankering for some Peruvian food. But on this particularly day I got lucky. There's probably about five or six tables in there, only one or two of which was occupied. Cute spot; looks pretty spiffy and given that they don't have a ton of space to play around with, it doesn't feel claustrophobic. Again, it WAS an abnormally quiet work day in the city. Maybe it feels exactly like Penn Station on a normal weekday. There were honestly a lot of options that looked intriguing. I'm not a huge rotisserie chicken person (I find bones distracting unless it's something more straight-forward like a turkey leg or ribs where you're eating off the bone versus around it, if that makes sense), which seems to be their big seller. I went with the chicken rice bowl, and opted for the accompanying Peruvian fried rice, featuring eggs and scallions. Really tasty, filling stuff - something more for the end of the week than the beginning. The inclusion of the eggs reminded me of a Thai dish, and there was definitely some spice to the proceedings, which I tend to measure in nose blows (two in this case). The chicken was flavorful and tender, and I'm assuming one of the big attributes of the rotisserie section as well. Solid portion; the only issue I had was a personal palate one - I'm not crazy about crunchy onions/scallions on a texture basis, though they're upfront about its inclusion. The women behind the counter were decently busy - they seemed to have a lot of to-go orders as well as the in-person customers like myself - but were personable and accommodating. I was expecting to have to wait a while just by virtue of the time of day, but I had my rice bowl within about three or four minutes, which was awesome. Wasn't feeling quite frisky enough to venture into the fried sides territory but I wouldn't be opposed to trying the tostadas or empanadas on a future visit. Absolutely adding this place to the midday rotation. Hopefully its more subtle location (I mean, as subtle as you're going to get on 34th and 9th) keeps the hordes at bay and limits the wait times going forward. read more

Chirp - Chicken Bowl w/ Peruvian Fried Rice. - Peruvian Near Me - New York, New York

Wow, that is some tasty Peruvian chicken right there! My coworker was raving about Chirp and urged me to try their signature "Chirp chicken sandwich" (I usually go for bowls but he loved the bread). He warned it would be a lot of food and it was indeed a monster! The addition of sweet plantain gives it a unique and crave-worthy taste profile. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and there's a generous pile of it - no wonder they give you a knife & fork, as you will need them! The pork confit sandwich looks yummy and hearty as well and I can't wait to try it. I have also had their rice bowls (Peruvian fried rice), the creamy chicken (ají de gallina), and the rotisserie chicken combo - all absolutely excellent! The brown rice is unbelievably good; and the tostones are thin, crispy yet chewy, and gently seasoned, possibly the best I've had. Be sure to ask for their sauces too - they come in spicy, mild, and garlic. I always do the "red & green." read more

This place has become our new go to spot for lunch by the office. Always packed, but is warm inside and the staff are friendly and super quick. Consistently good chicken and rice bowls that are well seasoned and cooked. The spicy sauce is a must. Hard to beat this place for a good portion sized lunch under $15 after tax. read more

Quality Peruvian for under $20 in Manhattan, wow. 10/10. Food was seasoned to perfection. Great portions for the price. Would recommend the rotisserie chicken, side salad, tostones, fried rice and THOSE fries. Will definitely be back. Can't believe this is hiding on 34th st lol read more

Food: Portions are huuuuge! Get the 1/2 chicken platter if youre really really hungry or else its a LOT for 17 bucks. Chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauce is amazing, yuca fries were great and same with the beans. Service: people taking orders were nice and friendly. It did take a bit long to get the food ready but they had a sign saying theres long wait times during rush hour and theyre super busy! Ambiance: feels very comfortable in there. Can get loud, but ample seating for lunch time and is a comfy atmosphere. Highly recommend. You'll get lots of food and its tasty. read more

What a nice surprise for a work day lunch. Went to the almost Hudson Yards location. Was very busy but the line moved fast. Food took some time but was worth it! First, this is an affordable joint! You can get a well portioned lunch for well under $20. That's something today. The Food: We had a chicken fried rice which was good. The chicken excelled and the rice was well, good fried rice. However, I had the pork confit sandwich! Wow! This is the Peruvian national sandwich! Chirp has well represented Peru and its fine cuisine! The pork chicharron was super crispy and 'porky'.' The sweet potatoes crispy and to me mostly texture. But indispensable texture. The onion relish was nice and sharp cutting the fatty pork taste just right. Then the spicy mayonnaise! It's described as sriracha mayonnaise and I hope it's more bespoke than that, regardless it hit just right. Good spice, mayo texture and taste pulled everything together. The roll my only disappointment. A little too soft and it struggled to contain all the amazing ingredients without leakage. But I managed. Something a bit more crunchy or toasty. No offense to the Peruvians if the bread has significance. I needed a little more structure. However it didn't detract from my experience. I highly recommend this sandwich. The rotisserie chicken I spied on other people's plates looked great. I will be back for that as well as the chicken sandwich. See you soon Chirp! Keep it up. You are a bright spot in the Hudson Yards restaurant scene! read more

Might've ordered wrongly, but my friend and I both got rice bowls with chicken, one in stir fry style and the other in a fried rice ($17 each). The fried rice bowl was a lot smaller portion and had way less chicken, and the stir fry was really really salty. Not sure if it's consistently like this but for $17 it felt a little steep! read more

This is the best Peruvian rotisserie chicken I've ever had ! They are juicy, tender and so flavorful. The chicken are locally sourced and marinated overnight in traditional Peruvian spices, combined with the smoky flavor produced by the rotisserie. The other dishes were amazing as well like the Beef Stir Fry and Creamy chicken Rice Bowl. This is definitely a place to check it out !

I've been passing by this Peruvian restaurant for a year. Never really gave it my attention. Another worker had mentioned that they have really good chicken here and we should try it. It was actually very good! I ordered half a chicken and French fries with yuca fries. The chicken was moist and really flavorful! The fries and the fried yuca were also fresh, crispy, and hot. I got some extra green sauce and extra garlic sauce on the side. They also have a nice hot sauce that I really liked. You can choose on the grubhub menu if you want white meat or dark meat or both. They also sell flan here as well. I will be going back here next time I'm around 34th Street. read more

I got the whole chicken with 2 large sides for about $30 and I have to say it was very worth the price. The chicken was a good flavor (a bit unseasoned on the inside but I'm okay with less salty flavors). The squash soup was a light flavor and the vegetables were a good variety! The place wasn't too busy for the weekday at dinner time so service was pretty quick. She was nice to give us extra side sauces, utensils and things. It was a quiet area to sit, eat, and talk! read more

This is a fast casual place serving Peruvian classics. There is a decent amount of seating, along with a very chill atmosphere. Toward the front is an area to order the food. I was torn between the Beef Stir Sandwich or Pork Confit Sandwich, and the lady working there suggested the Beef one, which I was definitely happy with. I also ordered a side of tostones with tasty, savory green sauce. The Beef sandwich consisting of beef marinated in a soy sauce based sauce, onion, fries, all on a ciabatta roll. The beef was tender and well seasoned. The onion was cooked well and added a fresh, crunchy element, while the fries were nice with great potato taste. I also really enjoyed the tostones, which were satisfyingly crispy with just the right amount of salt. Service was wonderful. The lady at the counter was so friendly, patient, and knew the menu well, giving great suggestions. The prices were very reasonable, as almost everything was under $20. I would return if I am back in the area and would like to try the Shrimp Stir Fry Rice Bowl, Pork Confit Sandwich, as well as the Maduros. read more

Pork Confit($12) is a great portion and tasty. If you look at my reviews I often call out small portions. That's not the case here. A nice amount of pork. My wife also enjoyed the taste of this sandwich. Mushroom Peruvian Fried Rice ($15) was also a nice size. However, there's not much mushroom. It's not very tasty, it needs more sabor. They serve it with a hot sauce on the side. But it's not the same when it's not cooked with spice. And the heat level could be zero, but I really want flavor, and this was very lackluster. There's more egg than mushroom, it could just be called egg fried rice, then at least I'd know what I'm getting into beforehand. The staff were very nice, 5 stars. Pork Confit($12) was 5 stars. Mushroom Peruvian Fried Rice ($15) receives no rating because I don't feel like rating a misnomer today. I would definitely skip the rice in the future. I might try the squash stew ($12) next time. read more

Love getting this place right before I get on a train or a bus! It is super easy and the portions are huge. The price is really good and makes me feel super full so I don't have the spend extra money on the train. They have options in which type of meat you want and nothing is too salty. The chicken was so good, the rice and beans were delicious. I really enjoy the chicken salad, the soup and even their desserts are really good. Sandwiches are nice and filling and the toppings pair well with it. There is nothing on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Service is super fast and you can preorder and the staff is super friendly. There is also space to sit down and eat there. read more

Another amazing lunch at Chirp. This time, brought the team. We ate inside and it was nice. They liked it. I'm starting to notice all the Chirp brown bags that people are carrying in the area. Seems they're doing a ton of businesses, surely they'll stick around. Today, by accident I ordered the half bird instead of the quarter! Got nervous when the line moved so fast. Lots of food. Pulled off the skin and ate the breasts. Yumm. The fries weren't as piping hot as last time, but oh well. I shouldn't have been eating them anyway. Also love that when you leave and say thank you, they are genuinely appreciative of your business. Seems like a family run kinda place. Definitely not haute cuisine, but perfect for me. read more

I've heard of chirp a few times and this was the time to finally try it after getting recommended it by 2 friends. I wanted the bowl but decided to just get the 1/2 chicken $12 while my friend got the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans for $16. I was a bit disappointed seeing it being pretty small but I enjoyed the taste. The skin is nicely flavored and the meat was tender. The green sauce they had was nice too. I feel like I wouldn't like the bowl as much because I didn't see any skin so it may not have as much flavor. Without the skin, the meat was not very flavorful at all. The price was not too bad but I think I'm a bit spoiled by growing up getting Costco rotisserie chicken for $6 for a while chicken. I enjoyed the chicken but honestly I don't think it's that special. Regardless I'll give it a 4 because there's nothing really wrong about it. It's good rotisserie chicken. read more

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it and ended up loving it! I tried almost everything on the menu and there was nothing I didn't like. Maybe the seafood one was my least favorite.

Can here before many times. Brought a friend here since he never had it but heard it was good. I was never prepared to put my reputation on the line for this place. I'm happy to say that it didn't fail. I ordered their new bowl which is shredded chicken and two sides in a bowl. This is exactly how I like it. Truth be told, I always shredded the chicken myself I'm happy to say that that will no longer be necessary! The bowl is literally perfect for what I want. For my two sides I chose brown rice and pinto beans. Everything mixed well along with their delicious green sauce that's not too spicy. It's how I like eating it. The brown rice wasn't the best but it's not a knock on them. Truth be told I always feel like brown rice is hit or miss. I don't think I ever had great brown rice. It wasn't an issue though. I would guess that the white rice tastes a lot better. In general I think most rices taste better than brown. The chicken can be dry and the flavor tends to be in the skin. The meat is tender and delicious. The beans were great and complimented the meal well. The sauce from the beans was much needed and perfect. There was a lot of food and it came out great. They had probably separated the portions but I mixed it all together. Everything mixed together elevated the bowl. My only complaints is that they don't have yellow rice. I also feel as if rice and beans should be considered a single side. I would've liked to have maduros with my meal. Nonetheless it was great and will be on my mind for a long time. read more
