Stopped in for a quick lunch, while my wife was shopping. Cute little place with a great menu variety. Prices were reasonable and the service was great. The food looked great. I optioned for the Classic rare steak pho. I eat Pho in California, so am spoiled with all the great Pho restaurants in Southern California. I recommend this place. read more

Cha Pa's Noodles And Grill - Classic Rare Steak Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing service, we sat outdoors at their only table. Shrimp summer roles and tofu vermicelli were both fantastic (super fresh, vegetable rich and light). Their lychee beer was good too - though IMO lychee beer is a bit sweet for my taste, but fun nonetheless. My only problem was that the tofu was a bit too sweet in how it was cooked. Filling meal, great service and nice summer food. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, but they didn't take reservations. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was Vegan Pho without tofu, which was delicious, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Vietnamese Coffee with Oat milk is gluten free, dairy free and soy free as well. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Hell's Kitchen or Columbus Circle. read more

While visiting NYC, one of my kids had a craving for pho. We happened to be in the Hell's Kitchen area and using Yelp found Cha Pa's. Being dinner time, it was pretty busy but we didn't mind the 10 minute wait for a table. Overall the food was good. I had the Cha Pa's Pho. It was a massive portion and the pork was very good. The pho was decent overall. One of my daughters had the Seafood Pho and raved about it. My other daughter had the Grilled meat Pho and seemed to enjoy that. My youngest had the grilled lemongrass chicken which also very good. The service was excellent and the restaurant was clean. We had a lot of leftovers which we somehow managed to fit in our tiny hotel fridge and heated up for lunch the next day. Overall 3.5 stars. Would dine here again. read more

Really solid spot, especially at the price point. Cha Pa is not necessarily a go-out-of the way destination, but it is a great spot if you're in Hell's Kitchen or midtown. The Banh Mi was excellent, the Pho really good, and the flan unique. I did not like the banh mi fries - they were soggy and not worth ordering at all. Service was kind, fast, and attentive. Nothing was over the top amazing, but also nothing was lacking throughout the meal. Truly waht you want in service at a place with this price point. We brought our kid and it was perfect for a small child too, the space is not huge, but there's enough space to manage. Also a cool spot for photos after the bar. I'd definitely come back, though again, not the place for a fancy night out, but certainly the right place for a good lunch or dinner at a decent pricepoint. Get the pork banh mi - it's the way to go. read more

A friend of mine is a long-time regular here and I get the hype. The restaurant is cozy, the staff are all very nice, the restroom is clean, service is fast, and the food is delicious. I can only speak to the vermicelli bowl because it's too good to get anything else, but it's my favorite I've had in the city. And their spring rolls are incredible, easily the best I've had period. The vegan spring rolls are standard but the house meat or veggie ones are so good. They have a loyalty program on the digital payment system as well. read more

The food from my delivery order was excellent. I ordered Fresh Shrimp Summer Rolls, Papaya Shrimp Salad, Beef Pho, Grilled Lemon Grass Chicken, Grilled Shrimp Banh Mi, and Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple with Vermicelli Noodles. Every dish was very good. The Pho broth was flavorful. The lemon grass chicken was well spiced. The grilled shrimp was delicious. The Banh Mi had a nice soft roll with an appropriate tasty filling. Packing was good, and delivery was fast. Highly recommended. read more

Perfect day for pho with a snowstorm outside. We ordered the "All in one pho" ($19.45) and crispy spring rolls ($8.50). The pho broth was rich and flavorful, with thin-cut sirloin, round steak, and braised beef. The portion of rice noodles was generous, and it came with bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeño, and lime on the side. That said, maybe because of the weather, the bean sprouts and Thai basil didn't look as fresh as I expected. The crispy spring rolls were wrapped in rice paper, which gave the skin a nice chewy texture. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself wasn't great. If you go, don't sit near the door. I was freezing the entire time. The front door was constantly being left open during what seemed like supplies delivery during rush hours, and cold air kept blowing through the second door with people going in and out. It made it hard to fully enjoy the food, which was disappointing. read more

Cha Pa's Noodles And Grill - Special Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

needed some comfort food and cha pas noodles and grill seemed to have great reviews and non-shock worthy prices - I got the lemongrass chicken pho and it was exactly what I needed on a cold winter day - they give you so much broth, but even though my bowl was overflowing, I had extra. it was a chicken pho but the broth is the seven spiced beef broth. it is so rich and decadent while not being overly salty or heavy - the chicken was dark meat cooked perfectly. it was moist and had absorbed some of the broth flavor - there was a totally solid portion of noodles. they broke apart on the chopsticks and fork a bit which was odd, but they were what you'd expect. pretty average in texture - loved the large portion of bean sprouts adding a fresh crunch within the deep flavors. the lime added a key kick. - it was about 17 dollars after tip. totally decent price tag and filling! read more

Consistently good and flavorful Vietnamese food. I've gotten the pho several times, but the vermicelli is also good. The pho broth is flavorful and delicious. Also had the summer rolls, which were nice, but the banh mi fries were okay and kind of soggy. I usually get takeout, but there is some seating, although there can sometimes be a line. The price is pretty good for the portion of food. read more

I've come here a good handful of times recently after not having come for a few years, and I was thrilled to see that there are now a couple of vegan and gluten-free items on the menu! There's a vegan pho now, and the vermicelli bowl or rice bowl with tofu are also vegan and gluten-free. I believe there's also a fresh summer roll that can be made with tofu, too. They even have a vegan fish sauce! I've had the vegan pho and the vermicelli bowl with tofu a couple times each and they're both delicious and filling for a good price! The tofu is marinated and very flavorful and grilled to a meaty but still soft texture. The servers are very helpful if you have questions or need help deciding. The vermicelli bowl always comes out so fast (I guess because it's just assembling different components into a bowl). And even the vegan pho didn't take too long to come out either even if they are busy. There isn't a big dining room but there are a bunch of two-top tables along the length of the space. It's very cramped so not great if you're a larger group - it's probably best if you're there as a pair. I'm in this area a lot these days so I think I'll be here pretty regularly! read more

We went to Cha Pa's for a last minute dinner last Friday. We didn't have a reservation anywhere, and Cha Pa's had a table available to accommodate our group of 4 (plus a toddler!)! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian options including vegan fish sauce. Each category (pho, sandwiches, etc) has at least one vegan and/or vegetarian option. We ordered the vegetarian steamed dumplings to share and I ordered the tofu banh mi. The dumplings were pretty disappointing - they lacked flavor and there was hardly any filling. The banh mi was better, but overall pretty average compared to others I've had. The service was great - they brought out special dishes and cutlery for our tiny human and came around to check if we needed anything else to make sure he was happy. The space is long and narrow with a casual vibe. Even though I didn't love the food, I would consider it a good option for a quick meal while sightseeing in midtown or before/after a show. read more

I came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening with my friend and it was pretty busy. There wasn't a long wait because the tables turned around pretty quickly despite the quaint small place. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food itself was pretty good. We got the spring rolls and gyoza for appetizers and those were delicious. They came out very fresh and hot so they were super crispy. Then I got the Saigon pho for dinner. It's a very big serving and plenty of noodles. read more

Went here for Pho. We were looking for a place to have lunch before a show and my daughter was craving pho. This place was perfect because they had a lot of options. One person we were with is a pescatarian so they opted for the vegan pho. My daughter and I had the beef pho. We also order crispy spring rolls. Everything was good. Service was great. We arrive at opening so there was plenty of seating but it got busy quick. Small place but nice welcoming vibe. Recommend if you're looking for a place that serves lots of options for pho. read more

I came by on a Saturday dinner with a friend - the restaurant was pretty full but we were still immediately seated. We ordered the crispy spring rolls to start, and I got the Cha Pa's Pho (meat lover). The spring rolls were tasty and perfectly crisp, but quite small and thought the sauce could've been more fragrant/flavorful. The pho was not bad but not the best. I was excited for the bone-in short rib since I'd always wanted to try it in pho and that exceeded expectations. The beef was abundant - both the short rib and brisket. The short rib was delicious and incredibly tender. Where it fell short was mainly with the basics like the broth and noodle texture. The broth could've been more flavorful; and although I liked that the noodles were a little wider/thicker than other pho noodles I'd typically had, it was slightly overcooked/could've been more al dente, sometimes falling apart when picking them up. Overall, I would probably give this restaurant closer to a 3.5 but rounded up. That being said, my friend loves this place so maybe they were having an off day but I'd be interested in coming back and trying some other dishes like banh mi/vermicelli. read more

Food 6/10 Their steak and rice was very good and so was their vermicelli bowl. Unfortunately, I got neither of those and my pho special was very mid. Their loaded fries were indeed loaded, and as someone who doesn't even like fries, I still chomped away. Heard their banh mi was exceptional, but we did not end up ordering any. Atmosphere 7/10 A little dark interior, but very clean and plenty of seating. Service 7/10 Solid service, nothing to complain about. read more

Wonderful Vietnamese restaurant of which I recommend to all. Lovely amazing management. Quick delivery by Uber or whichever transport you choose. I definitely recommend the lemon grass thigh, chicken with vermicelli noodles, and the Thai iced tea. It's my favorite with lots of delicious flavor! You could really taste the lemongrass and then as far as the tea it's nice and rich. Just delicious! Barbara T-UES read more

Cha Pa's Noodles and Grill serves solid Vietnamese food and is located in the heart of Hell's Kitchen. When we visited, the restaurant was packed. They don't take reservations, so we were lucky to snag a table for two in under 5 minutes for Sunday lunch. We ordered the grilled lemongrass pork chop and the house-special fried rice to share, along with a Hanoi lager for refreshment. The 2 sizable pork chops were filling and grilled to perfection thanks to the marinade. The food arrived promptly, and despite the busy atmosphere, we didn't feel rushed. The staff were genuinely friendly and checked on us often. We look forward to returning to try their Pho or explore their dinner menu." read more

Came here from my overnight hotel and was very pleased. I got the lunch special which I thought was very generous for the price ($16), with a bowl of pho and a Banh mi sandwich included. I came out stuffed. I have lived in Vietnam and had pho from north to south and I thought this pho was very good, with a very legit bone broth, generous portion of beef (I also ordered an add on of brisket) and an ok plate of herbs and bean shoots. The noodles were fresh tasting and textured, more like a northern pho, which is my favorite. I ended up draining the entire bowl so as not to miss any broth. The Banh mi was really good also, with what tasted like legit house-made mayo and a generous helping of pork. The bread was tasty and the right texture and thankfully didn't tear up the roof of my mouth, like many otherwise excellent Banh mi are often doing to me. I think it could use some more pickled vegetables but it was really good regardless. I also had an iced coffee and it was good, but not really remarkable. Service was nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. I'll be back! read more

I had eaten here a good number of times. This is my go to Vietnamese restaurant whenever I'm in the upper west side. The inside of the restaurant is small and narrow, so it's best to come here with a small group of 2 to 6 people. Everything that I had so far were very authentic. They offer a good variety of food such as summer rolls, Bahn mi (Pork is my favorite), rice or vermicelli entrees (which comes with pork, grilled chicken, tofu, or spring rolls), and Pho. As a side note, if you can't decide what to choose for the rice / vermicelli entrée, pick the Cha Pa Combo, which contains a little of pork, chicken, and 2 spring rolls. read more

I really appreciate their vast menu, quick service and ample seating capabilities. Noodles and grill can never do no wrong... but prices feel over the top and more than I'd expect for a Vietnamese restaurant. It's hard to get a table, too, sometimes. Reserve early!

Great Pho in a cozy environment with friendly staff. I'd go back. Nothing else to say really but yelp wants 85 characters.

In my first, and so far only visit, had the Saigon Wings and Taro Chips Canh Ga Chien, Wings were very tasty, not greasy at all, though wouldn't have minded a bit more sauce on the side. Chips were crisp and flavorsome. The Bone-in Short Rib in the Cha Pa's Pho was impressively tender, massive and deeply flavorsome. It added a wonderful mellow beefiness to the broth too. The few slices of brisket, were quite dry however. Still, I'll definitely be back. read more

Honestly, it's more like a 3.5. I love that they always have seats available, even though the place is packed. The vibe is super chill, and it's my go-to for hangover cures--and they have an IPA (my actual hangover remedy lol). Their banh mi is consistently good, and the bread is perfect. My husband loves the Hell's Kitchen pho. Even as a serious meat-eater, he can rarely finish it because it's so filling. I would have rated it 4 stars, but lately, the food's been overly salty, especially the broth. Service is always friendly and welcoming though! read more
