We were in the neighborhood around dinner time on a weekday so walked in to see if the had a table. The lady there greeted us and had us wait a few minutes before a table opened up. Services was friendly and prompt. We ordered two dishes and both were really good. I always get pad thai and theirs was very good. Both dishes in general were much enjoyed. It's a nice small spot that's BYOB btw. Enjoyed our meal here - recommended. read more

We came here for lunch on a weekend and were seated immediately. The place is quite small so it can get full quickly. Tables are quite close to each other, it feels a little tighter than I would've liked. They have a lunch menu even on weekends! Includes a soup or spring rolls, we opted for the spring rolls and they were perfectly crispy. Flavor wise was okay, nothing too memorable. We tried the Tom yum noodles and the kra pow (seemed to be ground beef over rice with egg). I was craving something spicy so I was excited for the kra pow to give me a kick. It wasn't that spicy and I don't have a good spice tolerance at all. I did ask for medium so I'm not sure. But overall, the dish was quite good. The Tom yum was not quite what we were expecting, there was cha siu meat. But flavor wise it was pretty Tom yum flavor. Overall: it's a really cozy, affordable Thai spot but wasn't too amazed by what we ordered. Perhaps they have a signature dish they are known for? I would be down to try their basil fried rice next time. read more

The food here was delicious and would have been a 5/5 if there were not flies around. The storefront itself is small and a bit cramped, but the food is truly delicious. We ordered the corn salad, khao soi and the duck soup noodles. The corn salad was refreshing although nothing super special. I liked the khao soi more than the duck noodles but both were very delicious and I would recommend. read more

Good service and tight cozy spot. I got the basil beef dish spicy, and it was pretty good. Would stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

This hole-in-the-wall appearing restaurant has delicious authentic Thai food. They have the lunch special even on the weekend which is rare to find. I ordered the drunken noodle with beef and it tasted quite flavorful! It's definitely a medium spicy so you've been warned. The lunch special also comes with a tom yum soup that was very flavorful. My also got the pork appetizer which had a sweet marinate with a sauce that paired nicely. They didn't take too long for the food. I'd recommend this restaurant if you are looking for legit Thai food! read more

Wonderful, authentic mom and pop restaurant that beats out other restaurants in the Manhattan area both in food quality and price point. We originally went for Friday night dinner and came back for the lunch special as well. For dinner as 5, we got Curry Puff as an appetizer and 3 entrees: Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Khao Soi. The curry puff was really yummy and stood out as something new and all of the dishes were made hot and were equally outstanding. I really like the drunken noodles as they were spicy, the curry and fried noodles in the khao soi, and the savoriness of the pad Thai. Lunch special portions are generous and filling. I really enjoyed the tom yum soup that came with the lunch special, and the alternative, egg rolls, were fried hot for the order as well. Lastly, the interior and service of the restaurant is lovely. Each table had a flower on top. I can really see the charm of the owners in the colors and decor. Overall, great food and truly well kept! read more

Just came back to add more pics. Trying more foods here. Great place but i will say, it's quite inconsistent. sometimes my pad thai will be a 10/10 other times it would be a 7/10. But anyway the rice plates on their menu are the true star. so many great options here. Small place so it gets crowded very quick but service is kind. read more

this was the best Thai food I have ever had in my entire life. perfect amount of spice, my friend and I got the basil fried rice and the drunken noodles and oh my lord. I am not from the area but am debating on whether I should move here just for this. I will be thinking of this place for the rest of my life. I havent even left the restaurant yet and I couldn't wait - it's too good. ps i would recommend making a reservation!! read more

We were pleasantly surprised with our visit to Chomp Chomp. The restaurant is arguably small, and making reservations is highly recommended. They don't serve any alcoholic drinks, but on the good side, they're BYOB. For an appetizer, we shared chicken wings with sweet chili sauce and ordered a bowl of chicken Tom Yum soup that is good for two people. For our main entree, we shared stir-fried rice with crab meat and eggs and paired it with fried seafood with traditional Thai curry sauce. (We gave plus 1 star to this dish as the fried seafood was not swimming in curry sauce.) It truly exceeded our expectations from this restaurant. From price point, customer service, and flavor of each and every dish. If you are in the Lower East Side and craving some authentic Thai dishes, this place is worth a visit. read more

SERVICE - located on the intersection of 1st ave and Houston street - small interior with enough seating for 20 people - tables can feel cramped together - restroom located downstairs - servers moved very quickly when taking orders and clearing plates which made it feel like we had to rush our meal - ambiance good for a casual lunch or dinner MENU - standard Thai menu - vegan and vegetarian options available - well priced ($15 per entree) FOOD - drunken noodles with tofu (5/10): wide noodles coated in a spicy sauce with fried tofu and mixed vegetables. I asked for it to be spicy and was not expecting the hit of chili that I got with every bite. There was no flavor other than heat. The tofu felt over fried and covered in oil. WOULD I COME BACK? I was not a huge fan. read more

My recommendation- get the Moo Yang app, it was the star of the show! The pork was so tender and the garlic dipping sauce was the perfect compliment. The drunken noodles were immensely flavorful, and with a really good sized portion. My boyfriend and I shared the drunken noodles lunch combo (comes with two spring rolls) and the app and we felt good, not stuffed but not still hungry. So happy we found this place tucked in a corner on the street, looking forward to going back! The place is quite small but with cozy, cute date vibes :) read more

The lunch special here is a phenomenal deal (entree and soup or spring rolls). I went with two friends and was able to try three entrees and both appetizers. The restaurant was super accommodating in making all of the items vegetarian. The spring rolls were crispy, but nothing too special. The soup had plenty of flavor and was my favorite of the appetizers (the vegetarian option comes with just mushrooms). All the entrees were solid. The Pad Thai and curry were about on par with those you'd get elsewhere. The basil fried rice was my favorite of the three entrees because of the extra heat. For just $11-12 per person, this deal is pretty hard to beat. This pricing is also available on the weekend, which is also very convenient. read more

This cozy little Thai spot spot is located in the heart of LES. Definitely a good spot to come to for some classic bites and Thai specials. I ordered the Thai iced tea with the massaman nue. It was a beef rib dish with peanut yet slightly spicy curry sauce with rice and fries. It was super delicious and a go to if you want a hearty meal. Throughout the dining experience service was efficient and staff was really nice. Would come back :) read more

My siblings and I came here for their lunch special which was only $11USD!! I got the pad thai with tofu and tom yum soup as the appetizer. The portion was excellent and the food was so hearty and filling. The tom yum soup was definitely more on the sour side. Service was great and our waters were constantly being refilled which was much needed on a very hot day. I would honestly love to come back to try their other dishes as well. My sister got their pad kee mao and my brother got their fried rice and they both also enjoyed their meals very much. The restaurant also has a very cute aesthetic. read more

I don't know how I've never stumbled upon this place before, and I'm so grateful that I had an opportunity to enjoy it. Everything from the food to the service and ambience is up my alley!

Tired of pretentious and overpriced Thai food? (Yes, Chalong, I'm talking about you.) Give this place a try - you won't be disappointed! Small and unassuming place that serves delicious Thai food. The Khao Soi was soooo good - super flavorful and very large portion. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. The appetizers were also really good. The pork was very juicy and well marinated. If you're a carnivore, you'd love how meaty their "salads" are, haha. Space is pretty tight, but service was attentive. read more

I was truly blown away by my meal at Chomp Chomp last night! Seeing the high ratings, I knew it would be good, but it exceeded my expectations. My friend and I ordered 3 entrees: a pad thai to share, Khao soi for myself and pad see ew for her. All three dishes were delicious, and a very generous portion for the price. I got the Khao soi medium spicy, but plan on trying it spicier the next time I come. Because of the generous portions, I had leftovers for lunch which I am VERY excited to dig into. Service was also very friendly, and we didn't feel rushed. I recommend reserving a table through Yelp since it was packed at 7:30 on a weeknight. Happy to have found a new go-to Thai spot in Lower Manhattan! read more

I think I've found the best Thai food I've had in NYC. So unassuming which is why I was so surprised. The papaya salad was so refreshing with the perfect amount of crunch and fish sauce. The fried tofu was lightly golden crisp with the silkiest soften tofu on the inside. The moo yang which is like a grilled pork was such a tasty surprise. It had a nice sweetness and charred from the grill. For an appetizer, it was a huge portion. I just wanted to eat it with a bowl of rice. Their tom yum soup was just the right amount of sour that hits the back of your throat. So perfect for that cold evening dinner. All the entrees were delicious as well. We had so much leftovers. It a small space so the restaurant got pretty packed pretty quickly so a reservation would be ideal. All in all I was very surprised by how good and fairly priced the food was. I almost wanted to gate keep. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

I'm such a creature of habit it's disgusting. I get takeout from Terra Thai 2-3 times a week, but I walk by Chomp Chomp everyday and always see it packed. I always think about trying it instead of Terra Thai, but get scared at the last minute. I just find the opportunity cost of my Terra Thai spicy basil chicken plate (w/ extra chicken) so great. I know exactly what I'm getting, and if I order from somewhere else and don't like it, then I literally wasted a Terra Thai plate and that is just so tough to come to terms with. A heavy cross to bear. Anyways, all this to say last Friday I worked up the courage to break free from the chains of habit and ordered the spicy basil chicken plate (w/ extra chicken) from the hole in the wall that is Chomp Chomp and took it to my big bros crib to watch basketball. It also helped that Terra Thai was already closed hahaha. It came with SO much Chicken and probably a cup and a half of rice. They were not skimping on the extra chicken like a lot of places do. Honestly, it was fantastic and I had not one regret. The chicken was well seasoned with a healthy amount of spice that made me feel alive. Big bro even took the name down because he liked the couple bites I gave him. This may be the first thing I've ever put big bro on! I'm still taking Terra Thai, as something in the way they chop & season their chicken is just so different...but Chomp Chomp is a GREAT backup point guard. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Came here for lunch. The food was truly authentic Thai. The papaya salad was flavorful and fresh. The grilled tofu was unique and flavorful.

Will definitely come back. read more

I don't even know if I want people to find out about this place. This is a such a hidden gem. It's a small restaurant. Everything is so flavorful. I like how they have other kinds of noodles besides the usual pad thai, pad see ew, etc. I like all of them. So I'm not gonna pick. Oh. And the Lemon Thai Iced Tea is refreshing with all the dishes. The coffee and Thai iced tea is a bit too sweet for me though. With dinning out almost becomes unaffordable in the city, this place deserves all the likes. Food: ***** Drink: *** Atmosphere: **** Customer service: ***** Definitely going back! read more

Super cute little hole in the wall with a great lunch special! Nomz: The lunch special is ~$11 with a spring roll or soup and an entree. I've tried the drunken noodles, basil sauce chicken and red curry. The drunken noodles have a good kick to them as they come, you can adjust the spice level, nice noodle texture and flavor, great overall dish. The basil sauce chicken was also pretty spicy as it comes, really flavorful sauce and plenty of rice - my fav. The red curry was on the sweeter side and not as flavorful as I would have liked, won't get again. Service: Really sweet waitress and overall great service. Ambiance: Small, cozy, minimalistic cute place. Nope or Dope: Dope, find me a better deal in East village for lunch - now on my go-to lunch list! 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

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.

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

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

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

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
