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
Gerardo E.

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.

Poached Chicken Plate

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

It really felt like everything was rushed. That being said, the food was excellent with the Short Rib Prik Kang standing over the rest. Biriyani was just ok but the broth they gave with it was a nice complement. Mango avocado salad was decent. The rest of the table said the pork belly was also quite good. Didn't try the drinks, but they looked great and from overhearing the adjacent tables, they were actually quite good. I would def recommend giving this place a try. TBH, because they are so fast, it's a great place to dine before a show.

I first ordered the crispy spring rolls, which were very good. For my main I had the Massaman Curry. Now folks, this is my favorite curry of all time -- actually one of my favorite foods of all time -- and while it's common in LA where I used to live, it's not as common where I live now, in the Bay Area. And the restaurants that do carry it usually do not make it right and it's not very good. I am used to Massaman in the traditional preparation where it's more like a beef stew made with chunks of beef and needs to cook overnight. When done right it is the most aromatic curry ever -- it's almost like an aphrodisiac! -- and the beef comes out oh so tender. Usually if places have this curry but then offer a choice of protein, then it generally is not cooked properly, and that is actually how they prepare it at SaiTong. But because of such great reviews I decided to take a chance and try it. Well, let me tell you, it was definitely not the norm...it was absolutely delicious! I had it with chicken (they serve breast as default), and the chicken soaked up the curry really nicely. I also asked for there to be no onions, which I think alters the flavor of a curry too much. It does include the traditional potatoes and peanuts, and the potatoes were fine and cut into nice little chunks, the peanuts actually were thrown in raw.. what I think is the more traditional way which is to actually burn the peanuts a little bit, but that's okay, it didn't take down the dish any. Their brown rice is of the very dark kind, which I like, and goes so well with the curry. Service was wonderful from the bartender but was also provided by the rest of the staff and everyone was so nice. I left there feeling so satisfied, and cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes.

Fortunately, there were plenty of options near my Midtown hotel that offered quick delivery. Dagg Thai was just around the corner and had solid Yelp ratings. Rather than creating an online account, I called the restaurant directly and placed my order. They estimated delivery would take about 25 minutes. Less than 20 minutes later, the food was waiting for me in the hotel lobby. I ordered: * Cashew Nuts with Shrimp -- Bell peppers, onions, scallions, cashews, and dried chilies. * Dumplings -- Mixed shrimp and pork served with a soy vinaigrette dipping sauce. The Cashew Nuts with Shrimp had a flavorful, light sauce with just the right amount of heat. I really enjoyed it. My only disappointment was that the shrimp were battered and fried; I would have preferred grilled or pan-seared shrimp. The dumplings were more like shoo-mai than traditional dumplings. They were a bit dense but still flavorful and satisfying. Considering the quick delivery, the food arrived piping hot, and the excellent Cashew Nuts dish, this was an easy four-star meal.
