Serving the food they love in China

Welcome to Chop Chop, the authentic Chinese restaurant where we serve the food they love in China. It is in the Northern Chinese style - uncomplicated, inexpensive and delicious.

We make the noodles, dumplings and all the other dishes ourselves from fresh ingredients with no artificial colourings or preservatives.

As this is your first visit here, we would like to explain our Chinese style of serving.

In China, diners order collectively and share all dishes, which are brought to the table in random order as soon as they are ready. In this way, mixing the textures and flavours of the dishes adds to the enjoyment of the meal.

So please don’t allow your dumplings to go cold whilst waiting for your soup!
