👍👍 We've walked by this place so many times and ordered for delivery twice. I find my go to place for Pad Ka Na, so good! We'll need to find a day to dine in, but delivery was extremely fast! It took 12 minutes! (No pressure on setting any standards) and the food was hot! People often mention Thai, good, service, restaurant, great, chicken, flavor, delicious, sauce, recommend,

    The service was awesome and I was asked if I'm allergic was stunning‼️ I was. For that reason, two points were added👍. I had Duck Tamarind. I couldn't finish it because I was stuff. But the duck was tender and the skin was crispy. But I do recommend the Honey Roasted duck😍. It was my first experience but it will not be my last. The food was not pricey, for a five stars restaurant 👏 congrats. 😉

    Hands down the poshest Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Shame to order take out from here when the owner clearly put alot of thought into the decor. Its a lovely place for a first date with delicious food. I was pleasantly suprised by the menu, which included vegan, street and cozy food.

    Chu Ros has always been a favorite take out place, especially during the pandemic. So happy that they now have a sit-in restaurant where you can experience great atmosphere and friendly service. A gem in East Harlem!

    Nice Thai place for the neighborhood with a bit punny name for Spanish Harlem lol. A bit too "romantically" lit which is a pet peeve of mine. Tom Yum soup is hot and spicy great for the winter, so is the pork belly curry. Tastfully decorated with a full bar and good cocktails. A bit cozy for our party.

    Place was pretty spectacular. The food was authentic and delicious . Don’t sleep on the chives pancake appetizer either . I’d come back here .

    Pretty good Thai food, definitely more on the no frills side for Manhattan Thai places. Is it as authentic as you can get? No it’s not, but it’s still good for a more local neighborhood Thai place. I like that offer a variety of protein (vegetarian and vegan friendly). I don’t have any dietary restrictions myself but I appreciate their range. I got the mock duck basil over rice lunch special, portion was fair and it even came with gyozas as a small app. The basil sauce was too sweet in my opinion. I would definitely come back if I’m in the area but I wouldn’t travel out of my way to eat here.

    Great thai place! We got the kaprow, pad see ew and khao mun gai. The kaprow was great. Great wok flavor cones through. We got shrimp pad see ew and we're surprised by the amount of shrimp we got. It was full of flavor. The khao mun gai was ok but overcooked for my liking. The soup was good and refreshing with a good ginger flavor.

    Great restaurant for lunch & dinner! I recently was in the area and decided to pop in for lunch. This restaurant is small but absolutely beautiful inside, very aesthetically pleasing. When I sat down, I was greeted right away and provided with the menus. Chu Ros offers many different food options and cocktails & they have an amazing happy hour. I highly recommend the panang curry and pineapple fried rice, absolutely delicious!

    It’s hard finding authentic and affordable Thai food in Manhattan, let alone UES. However, this place truly served some of the most flavorful Thai dishes that I’ve had in the city. It doesn’t compare to authentic Thai cuisine, but it comes pretty close. We started with fried calamari as our appetizer. It was definitely very good, but I felt it could have used more seasonings and spices to bring out the calamari flavor. Some tamarind or cayenne pepper would have really brought out more dimension to the dish, but overall I had no other complaints. The cook was just right. I was recovering from strained vocal cords and was craving soup. The ground pork Tom yum soup was the medicine that I needed to cure my throat. It was bright, savory, and had the right amount of acid and spice. The crunchy wonton chips added a depth of flavor and texture to the dish, a detail that I really appreciated. I also tried my friend’s fried chicken dish and it was edible. The chicken looked a little undercooked, and it was rather one dimensional. The sauce was definitely there to add some kick, but it could have been spicier. I was missing a lot of the flavor profiles that are traditional of Thai cuisine, so it would have been great to see it in this dish as well. Overall, I had a great dining experience. My throat wasn’t feeling too good, and the servers graciously provided me with hot water and lemon to drink instead of cold water. The aesthetic of the restaurant was also nice, and I really appreciated that it wasn’t blazing hot inside of the restaurant. I’d definitely come back here again to try out more of their dishes. More importantly, I would come back just for their wonderful hospitality.

    This is the best Thai restaurant that I have been searching for! They have great service, and the food is just as good, or even better! Make sure you drop by when it is lunch time on workdays because they have lunch time menus as well!

    This place was amazing! We got the steamed shrimp and chicken dumplings as an app and I got crab meat pad thai as my entree. They did not disappoint!! Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. They also offer a good selection of mocktails for us non alcohol drinkers, which is always so nice! I got a blueberry lavender mocktail. Can't wait to go back again and try more of the menu and mocktails.

    This place is so cute. The service is amazing, they are so kind and attentive. We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. I work on the upper east side and travel all the way up town after work to get dinner. The food truly never disappoints. If you have to get one thing please try their pad see ew. Also, every time I go the papaya salad is a must. If I could give more stars I would. Just refer to the pictures to see how cute this place is.

    A very great Thai food spot. Wonderful meals and fast service. Oil seems to be fresh and garnishes seem to use very crisp produce. Quality ingredients and quality food. Not to mention sane prices.

    VERY standard green curry but nothing special. Spring rolls were crispy and fresh, definitely homemade. Brown rice was perfectly cooked. Service was pretty bad, not very welcoming and felt unattended by the server. Nobody asked us how the food was or if we needed anything, had to wait too long to order so I called the restaurant to place my order even though we were sat outside. Nothing special about this place, wouldn't recommend.

    This place is beautiful, not too crowded, has great drinks and kind staff. The appetizers and food were very good. I will definitely visit again 😀 we tried the chicken pad Thai, and it had great flavor. Also tried the fried chicken pad Thai, which had a lighter sauce flavor, but the chicken was great.

    I took my 13 year old niece here for her birthday. We came to this area for rock climbing but I found it too crowded..so we went looking for a nice dinner place..we stumbled here and it was perfect she loved it. We had crab Rangoon, chicken gyoza, chicken with coconut rice, lychee over sticky rice, chai coffee and a mocktail…all of it around $60, couldn’t believe it. Because everything was delicious, awesome portions (the chicken and rice plate easily fed us both)..and the restaurants beautiful decor..I expected a much higher bill lol..my niece loveddddd all of it and that’s telling considering she’s only 13 and she’d never had Thai food. Also wasn’t crowded and the staff were great! Will come again

    The restaurant itself is a cute little spot. My partner and I sat outside. It was nice day, but someone spit from an upper window and it landed in my arm. The server took forever to come to our table even though it wasn’t busy, and misgendered my partner multiple times, which I found interesting considering all the pride flags and special pride month menu. The food was also not anything to be impressed by. The noodles were overpoweringly sweet and not spicy at all. Definitely much better Thai in the area.

    We got Esan combo and seafood hor mok. They were very tasty and decorated authentically. Very impressed. The waiters were very attentive and polite. Overall, I would recommend anyone who wants to have good Thai experience to dine here.

    I ordered from chu ros for delivery. The green curry was creamy and delicious. The spicy level mild and definitely has the kick that I was looking for. Good amount of veggies and mock duck . Thai ice tea , chives pancake , and pad Thai was authentic and perfect. Quick delivery and friendly service .

    Stumbled upon this place one day when I looking for a place to have lunch I work not too far from it. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and service. Everyone is so nice here and the food is really good. My go to meal is the Three Flavor Fish which is salmon in this semi spicy sauce. I love that they put the sauce on the side so that you can either just eat the salmon with the veggies alone which are baby corn and cabbage or mix the sauce into the dish. I once saved the sauce and mixed it in with some chicken breast strips that I made at home and it was delish! My other go to favorite is the Pineapple Fried Rice. I really don't think you can go wrong at this place. Writing this review is making me want to order from them right now lol.

    The food was delicious. We had Spring Rolls which were excellent. The portions were large. The service was attentive & friendly. The atmosphere was too loud but everyone was having a good time. I recommend it to everyone.

    I absolutely love Chu Ros Thai. I have been here 5+ times and have never been disappointed. My last two visits I brought my family and everyone enjoyed their dishes. We went back because everyone loved the food and the service. My dad noticed that they are very attentive and will always refill your cup of water. Their drinks are also super yummy and the drink/food menu has so many options to choose from. There is definitely something for everyone here. Hands down my favorite Thai spot!

  • 5/5 Chris N. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and drinks are fantastic. We ordered Blue Lagoons and they tasted delicious, not too sweet. For food, we ordered calamari for an app and pad krapow and pad see ew for entrees. Everything tasted amazing, and wasn’t too expensive.
