This location is wonderful. The food is amazing, the flavors are amazing too. Not much seating available at times, that’s only cause the food is too good lol. They even took my order over the phone, what restaurant does that nowadays HAA.!

Looking to try Peruvian food? Chirp is a great place to start. We had the empanadas and the chicken sandwich and are both were fantastic. Good quality food at a reasonable price. Try the three different sauces 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.

Such an amazing meal I got the chicken tostones yuca fries and empanadas. Everything was phenomenal!! Best Peruvian food I’ve had will gladly come back. Next time I will be ordering the same exact thing (minus the empanadas)
Best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Who would've thought sweet plantain on a chicken sandwich would be so life changing? Don't even get me started on the sauce! A must try if you want good food, a cozy location and friendly staff.
The food lacked flavor and some dishes were salty. Not very impressed.

This is the best rotisserie chicken and the best flan desert that I ever had. I went to other restaurants for the same food and Chirp is definitely the best. Their sandwiches are great. The service is excellent. This place is small, it will be amazing if they get a bigger room

Fast and delicious, with healthy side and main options. Hard to beat that combination alone, but they also make a helluva green sauce too.
Had a quick meal here. Great food!!
