Another repeat takeout order from Three Roosters, this time for their poached chicken and grilled chicken plates, both with ginger rice. Delicious and hits the spot when you're in the mood for SE Asian style chicken over rice. For both plates, the meat is cooked tenderly and the poached version $16.95 definitely needs the sauce to add flavor, and both sauces are still bomb, I would buy them to use as a marinade or dipping sauce if they bottled these. The roasted chicken $16.95 is good on its own but amazing with the sauce. Sour, savory, a tad spicy, it adds that next level punch. The side salad was fresh. If I had one comment it's been that been portion sizes seem to be a little smaller in my recent orders than a few years ago, maybe it just happens to be the orders I got though also maybe due to shrinkflation. They continue to be one of my go-to take out options in the area and I'll be back! read more

Services were great and the food was good! I wish the portion is a bit bigger tho because it was a bit smaller for the price. The grilled chicken was definitely one of my favorite along with the crispy fried chicken! read more

Came here for dinner on a weeknight with some friends and got the Zab fried chicken set with ginger rice. The chicken was super crispy, and the zab seasoning was tangy and delicious! Actually sooooo yummy! The ginger rice was fragrant and helped balance out the saltiness from the chicken. The meal sets also come with a soup and salad (corn was a nice touch), and the cutest duck container of sauce for the chicken. Also tried my friend's grilled chicken which was very tender. Not that much seating (maybe 4/5 small tables), but a great spot for a quick meal or takeout. Service is efficient and food comes out quickly. read more

A small store front with lots of hospitality and yummy options. Zab fried chicken, 5/5: so good! The seasoning is perfect and goes well with chicken rice. Fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned Hainan chicken, 4/5: not the best I've had, but will definitely satisfy any hainese chicken craving would recommend! read more

Great spot in HK for chicken rice. The food is simple but satisfying. There is limited seating indoors and we saw a lot of people come here for takeout. The chicken comes w fragrant rice, some nice dipping sauces, and a broth soup as well, a solid comfort meal. read more

I can't believe we've lived in the neighborhood for so long and never eaten here. It's phenomenal. We tried one of everything -- or at least, one poached, one grilled, and one fried chicken. I loved everything, but the grilled was my favorite. Favorite rice: the ginger rice (although the sticky rice was also very good). And I liked the tamarind dipping sauce best too. But honestly you can't go wrong with any selection here. read more

Three Roosters is such a hole-in-the-wall place. It's a small space that mostly does takeout, but there's some seating inside if you want to do a sit-down dinner. I ordered the Zab Fried Chicken and my friend ordered the Poached Chicken. Both were different but delicious in their own ways. The Zab Fried Chicken was the perfect balance of crunchy and flavorful, and the Poached Chicken tasted comforting and clean. Service was friendly too. Overall a great experience. read more

Space is small but does not feel cluttered. The background Thai music (pop) fit the ambiance just fine. Service was friendly and engaging. We had the poached chicken and it is about as great as chicken can be in the U.S. I say that as the flavor and preparation is top notch. The only way to improve is to be in Asia and get true free range chicken, where the meat is more muscular. read more

Came here for a quick lunch with my sister before a show on a Sunday at around 1:30. It's a small restaurant - it was us and one large group, and that was all the seating they had. Neither of us were super hungry, so we ordered the fried chicken and zab seasoned fries to share. The fried chicken comes with cucumber, ginger rice, sweet chili sauce, and a little bowl of chicken broth. The chicken was good - it was perfectly fried. The fries were nice and crispy. The zab seasoning has hints of lime - it almost reminded me of froot loops so I'm not sure how I felt about that. I also tried the Thai iced tea with lime juice. It was refreshing, and it was a nice change from the regular Thai milk tea. I like that there aren't a lot of menu items - that's usually a good sign because it means they're focused on making a handful of dishes and making them good. I wouldn't mind coming back to try the grilled or poached chicken. read more

Good, affordable, tiny restaurant for quick hainan or fried chicken over rice. I really enjoyed the sauce and the soup they served on the side. I think it's way better than the place next door uncle rays. read more

Tiny portion and flavorless chicken. The dipping sauce was fine but not the ginger oil one that you usually get with Hainan chicken. The food was not worth the price, wait (delivery), or calories. read more

4.5/5 Zab Fried Chicken - a must order! The chicken is fried super crispy and their spice blend with the bright citrusty zing is so good! The sweet spicy tamarind sauce pairs perfectly. Sticky rice came prepackaged, and had some dry chunks in it. 3.5/5 Poached Chicken -- the chicken itself was quite dry and bland, but the sauce was great with it! Wished the ginger rice had a bit more flavor. I was hoping it would be more reminiscent of Hainanese style chicken being more moist and flavorful. 4/5 Thai Ice Tea -- very solid and authentic! read more

Got the Zab chicken sandwich and Zab basic for $12-$14 each. Very good deal! The fries were amazing, perfectly fried and seasoned. The best part was definitely the Zab seasoning, it was so unique and flavorful I couldn't get enough. The chicken was surprisingly disappointing though - a bit overcooked as it was way too crunchy and chewy. Didn't really get that chicken flavor or consistency, just a mouth of hard crunchy fried crust. Overall the fries and the meal price saved the day. Oh and did you see the super cute duck plate for the sauce? Definitely unique addition. However the seating was not the most comfortable because all the cushioning are peeled off the seats. Also no restroom was a surprise. read more

Three Roosters is extremely underrated. It's one of my favorite fast casual spots in all of Manhattan. I always get the grilled chicken with ginger rice. The portions are perfect, and the sauce that comes with it is packed with flavor. It also comes with a soup that's super delicious and comforting. If you order through Uber Eats, I believe your meal even includes a free drink, which is a nice bonus. The food is fresh, satisfying, and consistently great. Highly recommend! read more

Yum - I love Hainese style poached chicken and Three Roosters does it right! I was in the area looking for delicious and fresh food, and Three Roosters popped up as a highly rated place that satisfies those requirements! I went on a Sunday around 3pm and had no wait to get seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual dining and the server will seat you at a table. Note that there are limited tables, and the restaurant can seat probably 15-20 people maximum at a time. Service is fast, I got my drink and food about 10 minutes after I ordered, though I can see it taking a bit longer when it is busier. Now, onto the food - the poached chicken was absolutely delicious! For $16 you get a good amount of chicken that is light, a delicious ginger rice that pleasantly fragrant, and light soup that has good chicken flavor and pleasing umami from aromatics. The soy bean and ginger sauce is very salty on it's own, but when added to the chicken and rice, it's scrumptious. Interchanging with the soup and cucumber as palate cleansers, you get a complete entree that you can cycle through. You also get some chili and garlic additions, but I would note that it is pretty spicy, so use at your discretion. If I am in the area near Three Roosters, I would 100% revisit to try their fried or grilled chicken plates. I think that this restaurant does the complete dish very well for the price - you can get a refreshing drink and an entree in a cozy atmosphere for $20! read more

Beautiful in its simplicity. Three Roosters is on a busy street with plenty of other restaurants, but it's nice to walk into a smaller restaurant space such as Three Roosters. Walking in, the lighting is very bright and it feels like a very clean space. The menu isn't the largest so it makes it easy to decide what to order. We decided to try a variety of dishes from poached chicken plates to their fried chicken. All of their food was incredibly delicious - the rice was such a plus! NYC prices are definitely pricy so we were glad that the portions were very filling. The sauces that came with foods were very flavorful as well. FYI - you can get any drink for free with Yelp check-in! read more

I love the chicken dishes here! It's always so good. The Poached Chicken with the amazing flavorful ginger rice and the chicken broth is such a tasty combo and I like to ask for white meat. I also asked them to substitute for a sweet chili sauce just based on my preference. If you check in on Yelp, you can get 1 free drink and I chose a Thai Tea with Lime Juice. It's very small inside but good for a solo meal or meal for two. All the staff were very attentive and nice! read more

Still delicious and comforting! Also down the street from me! Every preparation of chicken on the menu is delicious and the chicken is always juicy. I'm partial to the traditional poached chicken preparation, but the zab seasoning on the crispy chicken is awesome. I get all the sauces, the rice is always seasoned with ginger and chicken broth, and the broth that comes on the side is something I always order extra of. I usually order takeout but service is very fast. I love that it's a small place, hole in the wall, but cozy. The food is consistent and focused on one widely beloved dish. Giving it a 5/5 because it's a reliable neighborhood chicken rice joint. read more

Three Roosters - Poached Chicken Plate with Extra Thai Corn Salad - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Food: Can definitely be described as home-cooked style Thai comfort food. Their signature plates consist of a meat, rice, side salad, and small soup. The Grilled Chicken ($16) had tender, juicy skin-on grilled chicken. The Zab Fried Chicken ($16) had crispy fried chicken with the signature zab seasoning, which is an interesting combo of spicy, citrusy, salty, and sweet flavors. The chicken was definitely the best parts of the plates; the other parts were not so good. The rice was extremely plain white rice and the salad was also pretty plain. The soup just tasted like very salty water. Environment: This is a cozy little place with several tables. Luckily, I was able to walk in and get the last table remaining right away. The wooden-style furniture / decor add to the cozy vibe. Service: The staff are fairly friendly and helpful. The service speed is pretty quick. Overall: I would give 3.5 stars if I could. The chicken is good, but the rest of the plates were pretty underwhelming. read more

Decent value in the area for protein. Got the poached chicken with white meat for $15.95. The chicken breast was dry. Luckily, it was not also rubbery.

The chicken was incredible. We had both the fried and grilled. The ginger rice was delicious.

This has a small dine in space (probably seats at most 10 people) so most people seem to opt for takeout. I got a thai tea and it was the perfect way to cool off from the slightly spicy zab chicken. I shared the zab chicken meal (comes with sticky rice in a plastic bag and aluminum foil bag, soup and salad), extra fried chicken and sticky rice with my sibling. We also got the chicken satay which came out first. The chicken satay was very tender and seasoned well. The peanut dipping sauce it came with complemented it very well. The peanut flavor wasn't too strong and it added a slightly sweet nutty taste to the satay. I'd say it also went well with the zab chicken. The zab seasoning was spicy, sweet and sour which was an interesting flavor profile. It worked though because if I come back, I'd definitely get this again and maybe even the zab fries. The salad and the soup was more of an afterthought. The dipping sauce this came with was quite spicy. I'd pick the zab fried chicken over the regular fried chicken. Since this place is so small, I don't think there's a bathroom for customers (not sure, didn't ask). When you get the receipt, they also give you a guava candy which is a nice touch. They do seem to prefer tips in cash. read more

Great place for a casual lunch/dinner and delicious Thai food! The restaurant is quite small, but I came with a group of 4 after work on a Friday, and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Poached chicken and Grilled chicken plates which were both delicious. The grilled chicken was seasoned beautifully, the sauce was nice and tangy and added a bit of a kick, and it was served with sticky rice. The poached chicken had a light flavor which I enjoyed, but might be a little bland to others - I the the sauce and garlic rice help to add flavor to the dish and compliment the chicken well. Overall, the food was delicious and service was quick - I would definitely come back and recommend if you're looking for some homey Thai chicken! read more

I enjoyed this spot a lot! The zab fried chicken flavor was really good and the ginger rice was a great combo. It comes with tangy sauce and a little broth that was refreshing with the food. The grilled chicken was also great! I don't think I'd try the chicken satay again but it was still good. The restaurant is small and has a few seating options. The aesthetic is nice inside! The food came out really quickly too, we didn't wait to long for the order at all. We decided to take it to Central Park to eat since it was close by and it was great. read more

Three Roosters - Zab Fried Chicken Plate - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Only a few tables available at this friendly chicken favorite, so prepare to wait during peak hours. The service is welcoming and fast, though, so you won't wait long. We tried both the grilled chicken and the Zab fried chicken, and although the meat was yummy, both came barely warm. In a matter of a couple of minutes, the chicken was cold. Your order comes with a small salad, a soup and some sticky rice, so you'll be stuffed at the end. Overall, this place has a ton of potential (and prices are reasonable), but I expect a hot dish to be served hot (especially when it's fried), so I was disappointed. read more

So glad this place is just one avenue from my place because I will definitely be coming back for more. I got the poached chicken, which comes with a generous portion of chicken, rice, and a side of soup. At first glance, everything looks simple and bland but it was really delicious. The sauce is AMAZING and served in a cute swan. read more

Three Roosters - Poached Chicken Plate - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Very tiny little restaurant with chicken offered three ways: fried, grilled and poached. No matter what you choose, it's a great value for the quality/quantity and price. Perfect for when you want that no frills casual vibe. Chicken Satay: A cute little appetizer, perfect to have chicken before your chicken. The skewer itself is fine, but the thick flavorful peanut sauce is what really jettisons this dish. The fluffy toast makes for a nice bite after each chicken bite. Only issue is that they brought this out at the same time as our main dishes, so it wasn't much of an appetizer. Zab Fried Chicken Plate: I didn't customize, just got the default setting. Crispy fried chicken; seemed like dark meat underneath. Tasted great, though there were a few pieces of gristle/cartilage/bone in the mix, so chew carefully. The signature zab seasoning did offer a nice sour spicy flavor. Though seeing other people with fried garlic or something on their regular fried chicken made me kinda jealous, since I love fried garlic. Alternating with the sticky rice, salad and light broth between bites was a great palate cleanser for the intense chicken. Grill Chicken: Snagged a bite of the grilled chicken from someone else at the table. Also tender dark meat I think. Not grilled as heavily as the satay skewers, so a little more moist. Flavorful for sure, but I prefer the fried chicken. Thai Iced Tea: Standard. Nice tea aroma and lots of cream. read more
