Came here for lunch. The food was truly authentic Thai. The papaya salad was flavorful and fresh. The grilled tofu was unique and flavorful. The grilled pork was amazing, cut into bite sized pieces and came with a zesty sauce. The Tom Yum soup was spicy and well balanced between salty and sours. Services was fast and friendly. Will definitely come back. read more

Quaint hole in the wall at the end of a series of restaurants. A few spots for pleasant outdoor seating. The duck was delicious but a massive serving definitely enough for two people. The tamarind sauce was a little too sweet for personal preference but my friend said her drunken noodles were delicious. The quality is great and you can easily walk in with no reservations. The service is very nice and attentive. read more

Was going to wait in line at Katz deli in the rain. Saw Chomp Chomp across the street, looked up the reviews and ran over. The restaurant is very intimate - maybe 10 tables. The service is fast and pleasant. The food is very fresh and flavorful without heavy sauces or additives. A true Thai experience. The prices are very reasonable. It was an unexpected, wonderful experience. We will definitely return! read more

Good and quick service on a Saturday. Great price- the lunch special is a great deal. I got pad thai and veg-ish tom yum soup. My friend got green curry and chicken tom yom soup. It all tasted fine but nothing special. I wouldn't call this authentic Thai. read more

Solid 4 for Chomp Chomp Thai Kitchen! Came here for an impromptu dinner with friends who live literally around the corner and was pleasantly surprised with how quaint this place is. Extremely reasonable prices for NYC standards and you get hearty and generous portions. Honestly, Chomp Chomp is a very budget friendly lunch or dinner place that has great customer service. Unlike many of the other NYC restaurants that shoo you out with the bill within an hour, this place lets you enjoy conversation and slower paced eating amongst your circle. Tom Kha soup and beef noodle soup were awesome and easy to share for portions! My friends are vegetarian as well and they have a great vegetarian menu option. Definitely will return. read more

Stopped in for dinner recently and found the food to be good. We got a red curry, drunken noodles, and moo yang. The red curry was good, spicy but not overly so and it had plenty of fillings with a good amount of chicken in addition to the veggies. The drunken noodles were my favorite dish we ordered. They could've been even spicier for me, but had great flavor with plenty of veggies to pair with the heavy noodles. The beef was really well cooked, not very fatty, and had a ton of great seasoning and flavor. the moo yang was ok but nothing as special or unique. read more

I really wanted to like the food as it's very close by to me with a great lunch special - a noodle and appetizer for about $11-12 I believe, from 11AM - 3:30PM. I got the pad se ew with tofu and spring rolls but they were both pretty mediocre. The pad se ew didn't have a lot of flavor and the noodles were not bouncy and kind of falling apart. The vegetables just tasted old. Super sad, as it's a very straightforward dish to make. read more

We came to the area for Katz Deli but the line was impossible. So far, I believe this was a perfect summer sidewalk substitute! The tables were comfortable and the fans made it soothing-- perfect since we brought along our hot and irritable son. I would say that chomp chomp is absolutely 100% delicious. The worst thing I can say about the place is that it's a bit on the small side. I wish nothing but growth for them and so it's worth the time to say they knocked every single dish out of the park. Yum yum!! The red and green curry were insatiable and our son's Panang Moo was the best on the table. The panang moo and the red curry were not spicy at all. I loved the gentle heat of the green curry but it does build up as you eat it so careful. It goes away fast though. I'll be back especially if we run into another group who "has to try Katz" but are annoyed with crowds. read more

This review is based solely on my take-out experience. I ordered a lunch special which comes with the option of tom yum soup or spring roll and a main dish. I ordered a chicken pad thai and it was delicious. The lunch special is $11.95 which is hard to beat in Manhattan. My order did not take long at all. Will be visiting again! read more

Decided to try Chomp Chomp Thai Kitchen on a whim and I think it's a great place to try if you're in the mood for some casual, no frills Thai food. The staff there was incredibly warm and welcoming and they had great recommendations. While the flavors of my pad see ew were good, it didn't quite have that wow factor that makes a meal memorable. Chomp Chomp Thai Kitchen is a solid option for a laid-back meal and it certainly holds its own with its friendly service and cozy atmosphere. If you're looking for a no-fuss Thai dining experience, I would give this place a try! read more

my new favorite thai place! so affordable and so yummy. love their lunch specials that start at only $11, and they even offer them on weekends! they come with either a spring roll or tom yum soup. I ate here with my parents and we all shared the dishes. (red curry, pad thai, basil sauce chicken) the basil chicken was pretty tasty and slightly spicy. the pad thai was delicious, probably one of the best I've had. waiter was very kind and brought everything we needed and always offered refills. they played great music. restaurant itself is on the smaller side but bright and cozy! read more

I frequent Chomp Chomp so often for lunch that I don't even need to say what I want anymore. I walk in, look for who's behind the register, and they have it typed in by the time I get to the back to pay. Tang and accompanying staff are so nice to everyone that comes in. Yeah the place is a little small but that's the charm of it. Staff moves fast and make sure your drink is always filled. I'm a creature of habit so my go to is the lunch special Basil Fried Rice - spicy (Thai hot) and Spring Roll. I've been getting it for almost a year now and its just as good as it was the first time I had it. 10/10 spot. Definitely give it try. read more

Food amazing. Well priced yummy. We got to the spring rolls and papaya salad to share. And then I got the pad Thai and my mom got the curry. Was so happy the team was able to make my pad Thai vegan!!! It was yummy and good size portion. If you get the curry, get medium spice. I normally have a super bad spice tolerance and don't like anything spicy but if you get the mild level, it doesn't have any flavor. That's my fault thou. The service was super nice -- waiters were quick, nice, and helpful! They were constantly cleaning our table of finished plates and always refilling our water! Would happily go back and reccomend to people! read more

Chomp Chomp Thai kitchen - Pad Thai Green Curry Spring Roll - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

The best Pad Thai in the entire city. Not only is the food top notch, the location and service are 10/10. The gentlemen serving us took the utmost care to check our table, refill our drinks, and quickly clear the table. We ordered the spring rolls to start then Cashew Nut Sauce with the a side of white rice and the Pad Thai. It was incredible. We finished ever last piece of rice. The food was promptly served even with a bit of the dinner crowd coming in for call ahead ToGo orders. The interior was decorated for the holidays which was a nice touch. Overall I will be back next time I am visiting the city. read more

This is a tiny place in the Lower East Side but with a very solid menu full of great tasting dishes. Loved how detailed the menu is. Despite how busy it was, we were served in a timely manner and we never felt like we were being rushed. My only little suggestion is that they need to better advertise that this is a BYOB place. Would have loved to bring a bottle of wine but we had no idea. It's small nitpick at an otherwise great dinner experience! read more

Such a gem!!! This is my new go-to easy Thai place! I came here with two friends and we ordered more food than we could finish and it was under $90! They don't serve alcohol, so maybe that's why ? But, a steal, nonetheless! Highlights of the night were the pad thai with tofu and the moo yang , which is a grilled pork dish that tasted very similar to Vietnamese lemongrass pork. I can't wait to try everything on the menu! read more

Great: food, service-kind/sweet service staff, ambiance. A winner! Recommended by a local as a definite Go-To.

The food was wonderful and the service matched it . The four of us all tried a different dish and they were all good. We'll definitely be back! read more

Bc a friend hyped this place up I just wanted to try it but I felt jipped bc it simply was not that good. The peanut dumpling appetizer seemed like a steal for the price but it was only 3 of them and they were dry and bland. Very cheap ingredients I can tell. The massaman bue ( the beef massaman) was not that good. The beef tasted gamey or even old. And the sauce was kinda watery compared to other massamans I've tried. For a big bowl they only give one raita and try to add more to the dish with some crappy frozen fries. Service was only ok. I had my dog so they made me sit outside without asking if she's a service dog. Funny , bc they won't let dogs into the restaurant but if you look at the health code review other critters in the kitchen are present (roaches ) read more

I am usually so picky about the quality of food and the ambiance. This place has it all! If I could give it 10/5 stars, I would. The staff are friendly and quick! I really like how they are attentive and affable. The food, is CHEFS KISS. I have been here twice already - got the papaya salad and the Chomp Chomp duck and tried both the mango sticky rice and taro custard (for dessert) Allllll so good. I don't eat duck or eggplant but the Chomp Chomp Duck (one of their specials) is off the charts!!!!!!!!! Also, gotta get a classic Thai ice milk tea. I gotta come here again to try their other specials. read more

The food here is so good, especially the pad see ew. The lunch special prices are the best I've seen for Thai food in the city too. The thai iced tea was so good as well. Service was great and super attentive, and despite the restaurant being small the ambiance was so cutesy and nice. read more

I love chomp chomp. Great food always. Very very affordable. Kind staff. Fresh ingredients and quick service. Even when i come in 30 mins before closing they always seat me and treat me with kindness. It's a very warm cozy space, that being said, i disagree with the review that said the tables are crammed. This is nyc. For a restaurant in this town the tables are fairly spaced. I love bringing friends here because we feast! read more

Had excellent tasting Thai food, full of flavor, great quantity for the price, I will definitely go back

Walk in the rain led to some of the best Thai food I've ever had. 100% BEST Khao Soi. Sitting and eating this meal on the patio while raining has been a highlight of my trip. This place was super clean and customer service was outstanding. Come give it try if in the neighborhood. read more

This place made me mad. Mad at my stomach for not being big enough. A friend of mine brought me here because they claimed that this place had amazing food. At first, I was skeptical but I was quickly proven wrong. It's a small but cozy restaurant. The prices are really affordable and really worth it for how good it tastes. I ordered the Khao Soi and the Moo Ping Salad. What came out was a big gorgeous bowl of Thai curry noodles and a plate of grilled pork with a fresh salad + dipping sauce. It smelled delightful and looked stunning. The Moo Ping was a big pile of grilled pork that paired remarkably with the sauce. It was a bit smoky and sweet. The salad was fresh and clean tasting. Overall, a wonderful start to the meal. If it was a bit more seared/ charred, I think I would like it even more but it's a personal preference. It's already great. The Khao Soi had many elements that worked together to create a beautiful symphony of flavors. First off, there was the bow of crispy egg noodles. Despite being fried, it wasn't greasy and was very light. It could be eaten as it is or dipped within the curry. Regardless of the way I ate it, it was great. Then came the pickled mustard. I'm not a big fan of pickled mustard but it acted as a wonderful touch of acidity for the dish. It helped cleanse the palate and helped the curry shine. I absolutely loved the choice of raw red onion on the side. Red onion has a sharper and more pungent onion taste than yellow and white onions. The strength of the red onion helped accentuate the fragrance of the dish while perfuming the taste of the curry. It also added some freshness to the rich curry. The boiled eggs were pretty normal, nothing to complain about. Clean extra protein and very tasty when submerged in the curry for a bit. The egg noodles were good. It was springy and soft flat noodle and it absorbed a lot of the curry. However, I would have liked it a bit more if it had a little bit more chew to it. There were two stars in this dish. The savory and fragrant Thai curry + the phenomenal chicken thighs. The curry was a tad bit spicy (I have low spice tolerance, sorry) but was absolutely delightful. The spice added to the flavor and enticed you to eat more and more. Just when you think it might be too spicy, the coconut milk within the curry soothes the heat and mellows out the spiciness. The coconut added a bit of sweetness and creaminess and enhanced the addictiveness of the dish. It had a velvety and luscious mouth feel. Chomp Chomp also did not skimp out on the spices they added to the soup. I tasted several different spices but the aromatic that stuck out to me was the black cardamom. The salt levels were also perfect. It was savory and filling but it also tasted clean. It's not like those restaurants where you have to sleep after you finished eating. Here, you're full and have energy. The chicken thighs was pretty much perfect. It was cooked in the coconut curry until it was tender. The chicken thighs fell apart when I picked it up with chopsticks. Have you heard of the saying fall off the bone? This is a step up from that. These were boneless chicken thighs and they were so tender, they fell off the meat. This made the chicken aromatic and infused it with so much flavor. It was sweet but also had all spices from the curry permeating through it. The chicken was at the bottom of the bowl so it's not shown in the picture but there was so much meat. I went here a week ago and I still dream of this chicken. It was so good that I had to order delivery the day after coming here. It's astounding how tasty it was. TLDR: Close to perfect place. COME HERE. You will not regret it. Huge portion and affordable prices and really delicious food. Probably the best use of $25 that I made in 2025 read more

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in the city (and I've tried MANY of them). When you ask for extra tofu they actually give extra. Fantastic curry and stir fry. I always do takeout but it seems like a cute spot for a casual dinner with a friend (very few seats, maybe 10 people seated), and the staff are super friendly. read more

Some of the best Thai food I've had. Limited seating and people don't understand that you are hurting a business and wages if you stay 30-60 minutes after you're done eating when seating is that limited. read more

Foods delicious and great service. They have great lunch specials. The restaurant is cute and cozy but I've only gotten take out, I haven't dined there yet. I have to say though, the food is really delicious but slightly on the rich / salty (?) side so it's hard to eat everyday. Otherwise I'd order from here more often. read more

We ordered 2 lunch specials - the mock duck pad thai for $12 and the khao soi for $15. The included appetizer was either a spring roll or tom yum soup - we both ordered the soup and found it comforting (also a plus that it came with plenty of king oyster mushrooms). Both the khao soi and pad thai were delicious for the price, and made for a great value lunch special. Portion sizes were good. Service was prompt, and they were really nice about letting us order the lunch special even though it was 5 minutes after 3pm. read more

It was about 2:30pm on 9/11/2024 when my friend and I strolled to Chomp Chomp. Even though the weather was 84 degrees, it was pleasantly pleasing for us. We'd entered the cute, cozy restaurant and was greeted by the waiter. I immediately said "Sawadee Ka" , which means hello in Thai and he gave me a polite, bright smile and answered back the same. We then were seated and ordered Thai Iced Tea. It was delicious. My friend never had Thai food before and was excited to try it. My stomach was excited too. Oh yes! We'd looked over the menu and for appertizer decided to ordered Papaya salad, which was very flavorful and chicken wings, which came with sweet, savery sauce. The spring rolls, which we'd didn't ordered, was complimentary. It was crispy and mouth watering. For the main course, I'd ordered chicken Drunken noodles, Aahh! So delicious and the taste was balanced between spicy, sweet and a little salty that made it morsel with every bite. My friend ordered Chicken basil fried rice. With some hesitations, because it was spicy, he took two mouthful of rice and then he devoured his whole meal without delay. The price was very reasonable. I'd told the waiter that I would do YELP reviews for Chomp Chomp and his face lit up. Thanks for reading. Be well. read more
