I had the mushroom sandwich and a cheese and spinach empanada both were sooo good. Legendary New York efficiency. I ordered within a minute and got my food in under 8 minutes while watching no joke over 20 people be given their food. The other cool thing is there was room to sit most people were doing grab and go. Will go back for sure.
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.
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!
Great little restaurant near MSG. Great food, full of flavor. Service was true hospitality with a smile.
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!!!
Stopped by for lunch got a chicken sandwich and side of tostones it was delicious I enjoyed and would go back. Service was friendly too
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."
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.
Avocado salad- 5 stars Chicken empanads 5 stars Plaintains - 2 stars very dry Passionfruit pie is also delicious from here!!! Reliable delivery and also conveniently located from penn station

This place is a quick serve option and it is directly opposite BNH photo video it looks like a diner, but they have cute tables and you order and pay at the counter and they give you your meal at the counter as well. I like that they had Jarritos other options for Mexican soft drinks, and I really like the Peruvian stirfry rice, which comes with roasted batter chicken- the flavors were incredible. We also tried the gravy chicken, which was delicious and I will definitely be back to try the fries and sausages As well as the dessert. The portion size were large, and I was only able to eat half of my portion so I would say definitely value for money The service was very quick and the lady at the counter was really nice and helpful. She answered all our questions for us as well. I'll be back! read more
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

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!!! 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

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. read more

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

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

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

Delicious Peruvian food on the go or to dine it. For lunch I ordered the chirp chicken soup and an empanada, both were really good. The rotisserie chicken is also good, however I've noticed lately it can be too salty. Staff is always pleasant and helpful when ordering. read more
