Zap Chicken Plate and side of Poached Chicken with Ginger Rice
Ingrid C.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Probably one of the best fried chicken sandwich and fries in the city! It is a hidden gem in midtown west and must try. The Thai iced tea and zag fries are delicious too. Great staff and clean dining area!

Zab Chicken Sandwich

I placed a takeout order. Friendly service. I wasn't the biggest fan of the seasoning - it is an Asian spiced chicken sandwich and fries which I really like the idea of. Ultimately for me it wasn't my favorite but cool concept and I could see how others would like it

If you want to gave good soul food without any fuss, just go here. It's perfectly done. The rice is magical, do flavourful so is the chicken

Thai Ice Tea

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!

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.

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!

Poached Chicken Plate
Michael X.

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!

I keep coming back to this place. The grilled chicken sticky rice is a favorite of mine. The sides it comes with are great as well. Great for takeout and dine-in

Charles pan fried chicken is a recommended try! Their fried chicken was super juicy and flavorful,…read moreespecially with the different sauces. Even without the sauces, it was good on its own, but the sauces elevated the flavors. The mashed potatoes were a little unflavorful and the green beans were pretty mushy to my liking but the chicken was very solid. I'd recommend getting the yams as a side and the mac and cheese! We also tried the sweet tea and the limeade and that was extremely sweet. After mixing it with water, it tasted better but just a heads up, that it tastes like drinking sugar water.

However, the ordering process is convoluted and took more time than I expected to get my food. You order first at the far end before getting to the cashier to pay. I got the classic combo for 2 piece chicken, and you get to pick the part and type. I got pan fried thigh and leg, and did see a sign for a charge for large pieces, perhaps referring to breast? The chicken was tender but wasn't fresh so the skin had gotten a little soggy. I got coleslaw as my side which is a perfectly executed classic coleslaw - tangy, great balance of mayo, refreshing crunch. I wasn't feeling the cornbread at first because it was too fluffy rather than grainy but when I had it the next morning, it tasted even better. Perhaps, I was just a bit uncomfortable sitting there. All this for $11! I'd come back again but maybe to-go and heat up the chicken in an air fryer.

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

Ordered food to go because the bar was very loud. The music the DJ was playing was good though…read more Ordered buttermilk chicken tenders, shepherd's pie, hot chicken sandwiches, Asian-sesame dry rubbed wings, fries, and tater tots. The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.
