Fantastic pre-theater discovery in East Harlem — Chu Ros Thai: great selection, tasty, authentic, generous, reasonable, quick, friendly, and a beautiful space.

To support this, here are our duck selections — basil and sriracha over flat noodles. Honestly, the variety of duck options here is like I have never seen before and we have two duck aficionados in the family.

There were also green curry, obligatory papaya salad and tom yum. With all that, the most memorable selection among us carnivores was a vegetarian entree called Eggplant’s Garden — the texture and mildly spicy sweet sauce are not to be missed.

Our carefully boxed leftovers lasted two more lunches.
