Chirp chicken sandwich was amazing. Hot fresh bread and chicken was juicy. Great combo with plantain in sandwich. I also went back for 1/4 chicken. Was great too.

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 food was so flavorful, fresh, and decadent. The chicken was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fries were flavorful. I loved the garlic based salad dressing too. My only thing with this place is not enough seating!

Food is good. Price is great for 1/4 chicken and 2 sides. I feel like it's much healthier and tastier than things around this area. And you get much more for your money!

Exemplary Service Above and Beyond – A Rare Gem in Manhattan I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional professionalism and dedication of Boris, the manager at Chirp’s 2nd Avenue location. In an era where customer service often feels rushed or impersonal—especially in a fast-paced city like Manhattan—Boris demonstrated what true commitment to excellence look like. Our office had placed a large group order for 25 people through a third-party delivery platform. Due to a technical glitch, the order was never transmitted to the restaurant. We only discovered this after I called Chirp to check on the delay. At that moment, Boris could have simply explained the situation, apologized, and moved on—which would have been entirely understandable. Instead, he immediately took ownership of the issue, even though it was not his fault, and told us, “I will take care of this for you.” True to his word, Boris and his team swiftly prepared the full order—an undertaking that undoubtedly disrupted their normal operations. Not only that, he personally delivered the food to our office, ensuring that our team event wasn’t derailed. Our meals arrived hot, delicious, and everyone was happy. This level of service is incredibly rare and deserves to be recognized. Boris didn’t just solve a problem—he turned a potential disaster into a moment of gratitude. His actions reflect a commitment to customer satisfaction that is all too uncommon today. Thank you, Boris, for your integrity and kindness. You’ve earned loyal customers, and we’ll be sharing this story with others as an example of what great service truly looks like.

Stumbled on this place and decided to try it. I ordered the stir fry (lomos al pollo) and it was great. Great flavors, portions and the green sauce is spot on. If you like Peruvian food, this is a great lunch spot. Looking forward to trying other menu items soon.
