Chirp

Place was cozy, not that many table. Menu is small but they have great choices. We went with the mostrito which is rotisserie chicken, fries and fried rice. Definitely a crowd pleaser and very filling. My husband had the lomo montado and my other son had the classic salchipapa. Everything was delicious.

I've only had the pleasure of going here for my lunch break during office hours. I imagine it would be a good place to take a date also. The staff is genuinely nice and responsive. Atmosphere is very friendly. Some where you want to enjoy yourself or with someone. Food is exceptional, also has a few good soup collection. fair price. I would recommend to eat in the lighting is something to be desired. wooden table. It feels very homie. Rarely i give 4 stars across. but this establishment deserves it. Its well run.

The food is delicious, the staff is polite and attentive, the prices are decent but I didn't like the flan dessert, and it's also interesting that there is no restroom for customers who dining in!!!!

I really wanted to like this place, but alas, it will not be so. The chicken was tasteless other than where the skin was, which was salty. Peruvian roasted chicken is slamming everywhere but here. Literally no seasoning anywhere. The brown rice with carrots was also meh. Maybe the other dishes are good, but the chicken? You can pass on that

If you are a chicken lover🍗 , then this is a great place for lunch. I ordered a half chicken with 2 sides. The chicken was moist, tender, and delicious. The portion was huge, and more than satisfied my midday hunger. I had the rice and fries as my 2 sides, but there were plenty of options to choose from. They also have salad and vegetable options. Seating is limited, but takeout is very efficient. Service is very friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

In Manhattan, there's a small, cozy Peruvian restaurant. It has a low ceiling and feels friendly. The food is really good and not expensive. They have tasty empanadas, chicken with mushrooms and rice, and a great mushroom sandwich. The people who work there are very nice and take good care of the guests. This place is special because it feels like a small piece of Peru in New York. It's a great choice for anyone who wants to try Peruvian food without spending a lot of money. The restaurant is welcoming and makes you feel at home.

We gave this Gem a try, and it did not disappoint! We tried several dishes and all of them were delicious and the portions were very generous! Our family of 5 loves to try new foods, and they had something for everyone, including vegetarian options, and indoor seating. The sweet woman who helped us said it perfectly “our menu is small but what we do, we do well!” I couldn’t agree more! Hoping to stop by once more before heading back to California to try the other menu options!

For a small chicken joint, the flavor of the chicken is surprisingly really good. The service was excellent. The place is only a few hundred square feet for seating. The food came out quick and tasted fresh and good. Price was reasonable and the portions were very good. There is ample street parking after 7pm, apply sarcastic tone.

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."

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.

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!

This was great, I really liked Chrip, took my bestie there and we really enjoyed ourselves!

I highly recommend this restaurant! Although seating is limited, we were fortunate enough to snag a table. The place is busy, but the staff is excellent. The menu may not be extensive, but that's a good thing because they focus on what they do best, and it shows. I had the Peruvian 1/4 chicken--it was moist, flavorful, and the skin had a perfect slight crunch! I also tried the shrimp fried rice, which was almost as good as the fried rice from a classic Chinese hole-in-the-wall. Overall, a great spot. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in town.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Some of the best rotisserie chicken in the city Always juicy and flavorful never dry.

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!!!

From the smooth and very accommodating over the phone ordering with Elia (the day before), to the prompt delivery of Boris with call confirmation on the day of and prior agreed time, to the huge portions for an order for 30 people and most of all tasty foods, this restaurant definitely got our approval for repeat large orders in the future for a business function! Your service is truly commendable and the food is always amazing (tried it as diner before). Thank you!

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.

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

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.

I ordered the shrimp fried rice bowl. It was incredible! The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the sauce they added in the bowl, impeccable. The service was fast.

Tried the rotisserie chicken and it was quite good. The meat was tender, juicy, and had good flavor. I got the 1/2 chicken combo which is $15 and you get two sides with it.

The worst customer service. Jackeline was extremely aggressive super sassy and had attitude. Told me to meet her after work to fight...extremely unprofessional.

Absolutely LOVE their mushroom sandwich. Such a delicious vegetarian option! I ate here 4 times in a week.

We came here on our way to one Penn plaza, it was surprisingly good. The rice tasted very fresh and probably the best rice I've had from a restaurant. It came out very fast. The restaurant had seating indoor and outdoor and there were seats available. I would definitely one back!! The food was amazing, fast service and great ambiance.

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.

It's nice to have a cheaper food option in the neighborhood but I can't say I loved the food. The chicken chirp salad was okay - some pieces of chicken were decently tender but largely flavorless. The Peruvian fried rice tasted better. There's a couple tables inside if you want to dine in.

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.

Excellent Peruvian eatery in a prime location close to Penn Station and Hudson Yards. The food is wonderful and quite affordable, especially considering the location. The specialty is Peruvian rotisserie chicken, served with delectable sauces.

good simple peruvian food restaurant the chicken is basic and standard but the alternative sides and other offersing are what make this place stand out and more fun. reasonably priced and a nice seating area indoors

Had a quick lunch after a business meeting around that area, and i only had two bites since i had to drive back to the office, but it was amazing! Kept in a fridge for hours and got starving so tried some cold left overs and it is still amazing!! I would def going back to this place and will try some other sides as well!

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.

Recently indulged in a delightful Peruvian squash stew, and I must say, the burst of flavors was truly remarkable. The rich blend of spices and the hearty consistency made this dish a satisfying culinary experience. .Equally scrumptious were the empanadas that I ordered. They were fresh, had a complexity of flavors, and perfectly complemented the Peruvian squash stew. The only downfall was the lack of seating and tight quarters. Despite the cozy setting, the efficient service ensured a quick and enjoyable dining experience, making it an ideal spot for those craving hearty and flavorful Peruvian cuisine. The limited seating and snug quarters, however, may pose a challenge during peak hours. Highly recommended for those seeking a flavorful and comforting meal.

I had the Creamy Chicken ( Ají de Gallina). It had good flavor not all Peruvian restaurants serve it even thought they have it in the menu but here was just right! Small place but busy. We also had the avocado salad and the dressing was just the right compliment to it.

Likely the worst delivery we've ever ordered. 1) Empanadas were not advertised as fried. They were. Really bad. 2) Ordered an avocado salad with chicken. Salad didn't come with the chicken, which is an additional charge. Wtf. 3) Entire order was soggy with questionable, low quality ingredients. Maybe this place is better in person? I don't ever intend to find out. Thankfully, the food app we used for delivery provided a refund. What a poor start to the week. Thanks for caring about your customers, Chirp!

Solid lunch spot if you're in the area. Not too many tables but set up so you can sit down, eat and leave. I ordered a chicken bowl and the chicken was solid along with the brown rice and a side of fries. My gf ordered a half chicken with brown rice and a side salad. The portions were excellent. Since it is rotisserie chicken, a side of sauce really helps. I got some of the green sauce and some garlic sauce and those really helped make the chicken more savory. The place wasn't too busy on a Sunday but I can imagine it getting busy during lunch hours on the weekdays so maybe you can try to order ahead in the meantime but other than that, the food does not take too long to prepare once you order.

Walking toward NY Comic Con, I felt that all too familiar grumbling from my belly. I saw Chirp on the way and dropped in to grab a bite. Ambience: a few small tables in a cozy dining room. This is set up like a takeout, where you order at the counter, take your food to a table and clean up after yourself. Food: the Peruvian chicken was well seasoned and tasty. Be sure to ask for extra green sauce. TL/DR: a delicious, delightful, and relatively inexpensive lunch in midtown NYC.

Really good! I'll def be back. I don't think I ordered well though. I got the butternut squash stew and added chicken. More than half is rice (too much for me). A good amount of delicious chicken! The stew got soaked up by the rice so it was just a few pieces of squash with soggy rice. Next time I'll get the same things but as side dishes so they're separate. Quality, quantity and price will be better I think. But honestly really delish fast casual!!

Juicy, well-seasoned, and flavorful chicken. The maduros were also extremely soft and sweet, a dense bite of plantain. Quick service (received my order within 10 minutes). Pleasantly surprised by this unassuming storefront that I stopped in for lunch on a weekend for. Ordered the 1/2 chicken with brown rice (they were quite generous with the amount of brown rice) and maduros. Even after keeping it as leftovers in my fridge for two days, the chicken still tasted great - not dry and packed with seasoning.

Generous portions of Peruvian chicken. The side vegetables were sautéd for too long but still flavorful. The employees were very kind and we did not have to wait long for our takeout.

So Chirp was my pregaming choice right before the Food and Wine Fest. I literally looked on the map and wanted to go to a place with drinks and chose this instead. A few minutes walk from Penn Station I started to remember that from a young age my dad lived in Newark and would always take me to this Peruvian restaurant that had hands down the best chicken and homemade fries I ever had. So of course anytime I see Peruvian anything I'm trying to recreate that flavor experience on site. Anyway it's close to a corner pizza shop and the front of the restaurant has a a covering with two tables for a kind of outdoor space. It seemed to be one of those places that people all order lunch from and you need to know the process. People where walking in and out between the 3 or 4 couple of tables where patrons where lunching and I wasn't sure where to order or who to ask at first. I think there is a sign out front but you basically order and can do so from your phone or with someone at the register and then pay and they pump out your order to stay or to go. I felt a bit rushed and the man in charge gave me this make up your mind look when i finally saw the menu. I also was totally confused as to what he meant by squash stew but took a chance and ordered it. I felt like they had limited drinks. I ordered a 1/4 chicken with rice and beans as the two sides a Pepsi and the stew. I decided to stay and was served on these metal style of platter/ bowls. I sat outside. This place is extremely busy and I guess out of knives. I was given two forks and a spoon which did the job and I did not enjoy the beans. Maybe they had fries and I should have went with that. The squash stew was new for me and a healthy choice and I loved it. I put it in the rice and did not eat the beans. It was filling and I sat people watching as I ate and passed the time waiting for a friend. I saw the man in charge again seated at one of the tables taking orders or doing business over the phone with his books and binders as I was leaving and thought. This is an interesting little tiny shop in the middle of midtown pumping out some interesting stuff. Maybe the food is better quality when they are less busy and it is not lunch time but I cannot complain. Did it match the flavor profile I was seeking no but it wasn't bad at all. 3 groups enjoyed lunch seating inside and outside around me and it was like a moment in time in the middle of a busy midtown block.

I originally came here through a deal I saw on Seated. I love Peruvian food but usually go to my favorite spots when I am in Queens. Located right near Penn Station it was a great place to pick up dinner before going home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good. I ordered the Chirp Salad and the Peruvian Fried Rice. The salad was good but not as filling as I would have preferred. I wish they would put some more chicken in there. The grapes and candied walnuts really make the flavor pop out. The chicken fried rice was better. There was a strong mix of different ingredients present. I liked the mix of scallions, eggs, and ginger. Overall, I liked this place and would come again next time I stop by the city.

Chirp isn't quite near to penn station but if you are in the area it is a great spot for quick affordable bite. Its pretty small inside so if its more than just you and a friend I would get it to go. I got a chicken bowl with their special sauce and it was really delicious. I would get it again in a heart beat. I need something hearty to hold me down for my amtrak trip and it was perfect. I also got the soup but it was wack. It was just really blah. I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you are into that. Sort of like campbells chicken noodle.

WOW! This place was great! Came here with friends for a Thursday night dinner and was not disappointed. What was pleasantly surprising was how clean the restaurant was. It was very well maintained. There was also ample seating and it was pretty empty even though we went ~7:30p. Though initially tempted by the chicken sandwich, the Peruvian fried rice was calling out to me. So I ordered it. And boy did it deliver. It was flavor packed! And such a big portion as well! Was really impressed by the flavors and loved the hot sauce that came with it as well. I can totally see this being a "cravable" dish. Overall was impressed. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food came out fast. Will be back here again

The best roasted chicken I've had in town. I found out about this place because my bf always looks for healthy takeout. After trying so many plates of mediocre meats, this one is the one we both decided to be a loyal customer of. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, every time my first bite gives me chills. I'm not exaggerating here. This week, we ventured out and tried its salads and sides -- we ordered sweet plantain (perfectly caramelized edges really bring out that sweetness), quinoa salad (a full bowl of quinoa they are not playing around with the portion here), and chicken salad (they didn't even care to shred the chicken to fill up the plate, but straight up threw in a half chicken or at least a quarter. The lid won't even close). So far it's really deliciousness overload for us!

Solid chicken joint. I had the chicken sandwich -- ciabatta was excellent. Also tostones -- decent. Husband got the quarter chicken with sides (fries and rice). Would say here again (to try dessert).

Looking for a quick bite to eat and of course NYC makes it hard with the numerous choices they offer. How could there be so much food in one city. Came upon this little place called Chirp, I prefer small places and we ordered the Peruvian Combo w/Rice and Yucca for the hubby and my combo had Tostones and Yucca. The flavor of the chicken was really good. The best part was the beef empanadas...OMG....the way the beef was seasoned, is so delicious. Adding Chirp to my list of places to go to again.

Peruvian chicken no flavor, not cheap no value, very disappointing, no point to come here, no recommendation

food: 50/50 service: 25/25 ambience: 20/25 total 95/100 delishhhhh chicken , great sides and music was on point! the ambience gets -5 because they dont have ice or a bathroom... which is a little rough. aside from that this spot is a great hole in the wall serving up some flavorful chicken rotisserie style! ask for the spicy sauce for some heat!

Ordered ahead for lunch and got the chirp sandwhich and a side of corn nuts. Cool place, thr service was friendly and food was ok. My sandwhich overall was just ok. It may have been because I ordered to go and came a bit late so my sandwhich was sitting there for a bit so I'll be willing to come again and have it fresh on spot.

Good option near Penn Station for a quick meal before a trip. The 1/4 rotisserie chicken combo is a good deal with 2 sides. The chicken was very flavorful. As sides I opted for the fried plantains and tostones and they were both very good and freshly prepared when I ordered. Definitely I place I would try again if I was in the area.

I definitely say yes! Superbly delicious cuisine with a reasonable price! The meal is excellent here! The chicken, salad, shrimp rice, flan dessert, and french fries are all delicious and freshly made. A good place to dine. Next time, I'll use their shipping service, and I hope everything goes smoothly. I heartily endorse this location!

Loved the chicken ! They gave me so much rice as my sides . The yuca fries were unique and I loved them. Great service there was no wait

the sauces and the chicken soup was the best out of everything we ordered, and the lady at the register was nice. The atmosphere was nice and clean. We ordered 2 empanadas (chicken and spinach & mozzarella) overly oily, and chicken dry. 1/4 chicken dark meat was over cooked and dry. The maduros were very dry and hard. The beef stir fried sandwich was very dry and overcooked, the only thing that tasted good about it was the soy sauce, couldn't finish it. The squash stew didn't taste great and was soaked up by the dry rice. The French fries were adequate.
