so who is three roosters anyways…
OUR STORY
After the success of creating the Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream at I-CE-NY, the three college friends from Thailand gathered once again to bring their childhood memories from the streets of Thailand to the United States. After observing Thai restaurants and noticing their repetitive menus, we were aware that Thai food was so much more than just Pad Thai and Curry. As a ubiquitous and versatile ingredient, we wanted to introduce an innovative chicken dish that was both distinctive and faithful to the Thai background. It’s a new way of appreciating chicken with a Thai style that’s culturally refreshing and ground-breaking.
We also wanted to introduce sticky rice to the public, a common staple in Thailand due to it’s delicious and unique way of eating. With its strong and healthy aroma, ginger rice is often eaten on its own before the chicken is served. We want to bring that to the spotlight and introduce new dishes. Welcome to Three Roosters, where chicken and rice just became interesting and spicy.

Here are the ways we “spice up” your chicken + rice dishes
lemongrass
grilled chicken
The beauty in making our grilled chicken is in the marinating process. Integrated with a combination of herbs, spices, and assorted Thai soy sauces; we grill them to perfection until the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy. Each chicken in each dish serves as the “main character,” with the herbs and spices portraying the supporting roles.
crispy + airy
fried chicken
Great fried chicken must be crispy. However, we take it to another level with this particular fried chicken. With our Crispy & Airy Fried Chicken, one can enjoy freshly-battered chicken that is not too “heavy” and is able to properly digest without giving anyone the feeling of overeating. It can be enjoyed with either ginger or sticky rice.
tender
poached chicken
With the chicken slow-cooking at a constant temperature, the meat is able to cook while preserving its juice, keeping it nice and tender. Served with ginger rice, garlic ginger sauce, cucumber, and cilantro garnish, with clear chicken soup on the side. In Thai, it’s called Khao-Mun-Gai or Hainanese Chicken.

OUR WORK
FROM HOW WE SOURCE OUR CHICKEN TO ingredients to our PACKAGING
Our overall goal each day is to “spice up” the typical chicken and rice dishes by utilizing diverse Thai cooking techniques and ingredients. We hope to change America’s perspective of Thai food because Thai cuisine is much more than Pad Thai. Three Roosters highlights three different ways of how the Thai cook their chicken: grilling, frying, and poaching. Each dish is served with various kinds of rice, pickled vegetables, and sauces.
In reference to our “Good Eats” philosophy, our dishes are prepared thoroughly and healthily. The chickens used are non-GMOs with no antibiotics, hormones, or any unwanted preservatives. The rice assortments come from Thailand; glutinous rice and jasmine rice. Also, in consideration of the environment in a fast-paced society, our sustainable goal is to be a nearly zero-waste establishment by 100% compostable cups and packaging.
