    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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."

    yummy

    The food was good asf, not only do you get a piece of authentic Peruvian food, and they have variety of sodas to choose from. Overall food and service was good

    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.

    If you love Peruvian food, YOU'LL LOVE CHIRP! Definitely some of the best fast food you can find in NYC! The cooks are fast and serve some of the hottest and freshest food! And don't forget the sauce!!!

    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!

    Delicious! This place hit the spot. We were starving and the food was perfect. Sauces weee tasty.

    I am addicted to Pollo à la Brasa and needed to be around Penn Station. I looked up the best Peruvian food near me and a bunch of spots came up. I landed on chirp. I am so grateful for that. Chirp has the best, no exaggeration, The absolute best pinto beans I have ever eaten in my life. I would come back here just for the pinto beans. They play pretty good music. They were very fast with getting the food out and very friendly. I recommend if you need a quick bite near Penn Station.

Located inside Penn Station across from the LIRR, they are not in the Moynihan station food court area. This location hits the spot, and is a total lifesaver when your starving, not in the mood to go to Times Square or other far out locations. The Penn station location is perfect! No crowds, if there is a small line, it moves incredibly fast. Ordered the Box Combo, and the chicken was piping hot, crispy, and perfectly breaded. And obviously, the Cane's Sauce is always a bonus. The Texas toast was buttery and thick, just the way it should be. The staff here deserves a raise; they manage the Midtown chaos with total grace and keep the seating area surprisingly clean for how high-volume it is. This is the perfect grab-and-go spot that actually tastes like quality food. If you're passing through Penn,definitely check them out.

I ordered the three finger combo. What came out was just plain sad looking. Tiny chicken fingers, barely cooked fries. The Raising Cane's sauce was good but the vessels to that sauce were so lacking. The breading on these chicken fingers was nothing special and again, so so small. Service was fast at least, but the place itself was dirty and virtually every table needed a wipe down. I know, I know, it's Penn Station, it's supposed to be a little grimy. Honestly, if these chicken fingers weren't so tiny and my fries were properly cooked I could deal with a little grime. But come on.

The texture and taste was almost like they had been cooked previously, then refried again to make my order. The meal was just 3 stars for me.

The setup inside this dimly lit restaurant had a bunch of steam tables offering various beef and chicken dishes, a handful of rice options, and a bunch of salads/fruits. Having no idea what we were looking at, we asked the friendly owner for some advice. After some contemplation, two of us made a plate with all beef over some jollof rice, and another with basically all chicken items over a different type of flavorful rice. We knew it was too much, but our goal was to figure out what we would come back for. Honestly, I did not enjoy most of the chicken because it's sitting in steam trays getting overcooked. Not saying they were terrible, but it all fails in comparison to all the great beef offerings. OMG! You really can't go wrong with any of the beef dishes.
