186 Rue Champlain, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC J3B 6V6, Canada
I cannot RAVE enough, this place is to DIE FOR!! Thai, Mexican and Hawaiin cuisine made by the most incredible chef, love him for being open today so we can experience the most fantastic flavors I've ever had, the Ramen soup exquisite, tacos to die for, and perfect Thai dressing on my gorgeous salad, the chef is such a nice guy, friendly and made us feel like we were at home. it's a little out of the way but I will come to SJSR just for this!!!!! 🔥🥢🍽
Food was very tasty! Highly recommend if you are in Old St-Jean. Eclectic menu. Items are very reasonably priced. Decor is a mish mash of asian & mexican paraphernalia.
A dream of a place selling all my favourite street foods, and doing it really well. The food was great. As other reviewers have noted, though, the young woman behind the counter was astonishingly impolite… so much so that this 5-star resto gets 3 stars. Our experience mimicked others’, with forgotten utensils, forgotten napkins, and - when these were requested- service that was “suicidally depressed or painfully shy or both.” Or she’s just really, really, really rude. Great food + terrible service = mediocre experience.
The food was great. I got the bibimbap with pork and pineapple. My wife got a taco bowl with chicken. We got our order to go. The server behind the counter seemed suicidally depressed or painfully shy or both. Maybe it was my terrible French. Can't say for sure. But she seemed lost in some fundamental way. She forgot to give us cutlery. We only realized this later, at a park. I had to beg a chip truck for plastic forks. I waved $5 in the face of the chip truck lady, but she gave me forks for free. This was my first Le Chop Shop experience. The food was good. Life is an adventure.
Delicious food, well prepared and always ready on time. A gem in Saint-Jean! Unfortunately, the staff was rude when I didnt tip on a take-out order. I wont hold this against the establishment or the rating but it was quite frustrating to be given attitude for not tipping on take out.
Took the family of 5 for dinner. We had 2 poke bowls, 2 taco bowls and ramen noodles. Everything was delicious! I’m just sorry I forgot to take pictures. The place is small, the decor is eclectic, the vibe is cool and the portions are generous. Overall great value. We’ll definitely go back.
Fresh authentic food! Staff was friendly, even the cook said hi. I totally recommend this place
Owner operated, cozy with a cool vibe, somewhere a food show might feature as a hidden gem in st-Jean. Excellent hot sauce selection, good pricing to food ratio and quality product. Only issue is parking so think ahead and act quick!
Always good and fresh.
Me and my wife went to eat at this restaurant. Very welcoming and professional staff. The food was delicious!! We will definitely go back!
A1 product quality and delicious food. Best ramen soup in St Jean, the egg was runny and the beef tataki was very tender and delicious. A quality restaurant at a good price. Note that the photo was taken home for a take-out order.
We were charmed by the name of the restaurant and by its exotic plurality of bowls! Everything was good and fresh! The service is excellent! Thank you for your welcome!
Insect on my plate. I grabbed a plate to take away to eat along the river. The service was very good. On the other hand, an insect was lurking at the bottom of the take-out container and that made me heartbroken.
Première expérience pour moi suite à une recommandation. Jai pris le bibimbap au poulet. Cétait bon, mais je crois quau boeuf aurait été meilleur. Bien hâte dy retourner pour essayer les autres suggestions. Petit menu, mais efficace. Service rapide pour apporter. Excellent service. Plusieurs choix de sauces piquantes pour les amateurs. Je recommande !
Wow! What a great discovery. The braised beef taco bowl is an explosion of flavor in the mouth.
A very charming little restaurant! The service is impeccable, friendly atmosphere and the dishes are delicious (ramen and poké). To visit!
Second visit to this little hidden gem on Rue Champlain in old St Jean. Dont be fooled by the plain appearance from the outside! Come in and discover an exotic mix of Asian and Mexican cuisine! Colorful decor, small grocery store with Asian and Mexican products, music. The effect knows how to do this! The menu is simple, delicious and very affordable! To try it is to adopt it. We chose the Shrimp Poké and the Braised Beef Taco Bowl. The portions are generous and Ive said it before, its delicious! We plan to try the bibimbap for our next visit!
Great poke bowl and Ramen for a bike ride lunch.
Great restaurant in St-Jean. Delicious dishes and good portions with a very reasonable price. Fast service. Vegetarian options: Almost all dishes have a vegetarian option Dietary restrictions: Possible to find what you need there for gluten and lactose intolerances
Best place in town
Phew, a hidden treasure! How good it is, how good it is. As soon as we enter we feel somewhere else. A mixture of several cultures. And the menu goes in this direction, Mexican, Hawaiian and Japanese. It has something for everyone under the same roof. For my first visit I opted for a taco tasting. Oh wow, it was good, each taco is garnished in a different way. For me it s a must in Saint-Jean sur le Richelieu. Enjoy this culinary journey!
A mix of Mexican and Japanese cuisine with Latin music like regueaton. Delicious !
Best place for something fresh and delicious at a more than reasonable price
Good restaurant to visit in old Saint-Jean. Mexican/Asian Foods
Really good, we ordered tacos and macho which were super good, we had beef tataki ramen which was insane, it was good and really beautiful
We had the braised beef bibimbaps, tasty and generous portions.
The ramen is super good! Same for the taco bowl :)
It s the best Mexican place in St Jean, I loved it
Excellent value. We would like to see more restaurants like this in Quebec that maintain quality with an honest price. Tacos, poke bowl and delicious bibimbap. Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat tacos :)
Excellent and inexpensive food :) Welcoming staff. And the music is always very good thank you :)
The most underrated restaurant in town by far. Excellent service, very pleasant atmosphere and exceptional food. Warm and original decor. Nothing more to say except that its really good
My favorite place in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu by far
Everything is more than perfect. Reception is A1. Amazing service. Excellent tacos and Taco bowl. We were pleasantly surprised with this great discovery!
Vegetarian options: Bibimbap tofu and surely others Dietary restrictions: They know their ingredients by heart which simplifies the process for allergies!
Amazing little restaurant! The decor is perfect, the dishes are succulent and very affordable, and whats more, you can chat directly with the chef if you have any questions. Poké bowls for $16!!! We will go back there for sure! Wow!!!
The place is friendly and the ramen is tasty!
I love this restaurant. Festive atmosphere, friendly staff and very good food
Fast service, quality food at very reasonable prices! Thank you
Good but not exceptional, the tocos were bland, the taco bread was not cooked and otherwise the service was bad, the waitress was stupid and not smiling. Parking: Poor location for parking
Everything is excellent!!! We see that there is research behind all the dishes and the concern to keep the authenticity of the origins of the dishes. I recommend!!!
Always excellent and super fresh! I ordered two tacos for the road, realized a mistake in my order, came back and was made a whole new order. Very welcoming, good interpersonal skills and a touch of humor! A pleasure for the senses!
Good fresh food, tasty and very affordable. Varied menu, I will definitely return.
Very happy to have discovered this beautiful little restaurant. Fresh and plentiful food. We eat healthy there. Friendly staff.
Honestly one of the best restaurants in St Jean, if we talk about quality of food, the place is also well decorated, Im not giving a 5 star just for the customer service of the place, a bit of a lack smiles from the employees. But very good food!
Ramen and tacos disappointing. Bland taste. Excellent atmosphere and good service. Very affordable price.
I thought I was eating an unusual ramen! No! A ramen bag for $15! Adherent
Really good place. The food was delicious.
Great value for money!
Everyone I introduced to this restaurant loved it. It s healthy, tasty, colorful and the prices are fair.
Excellent food (the spicy ramen at least), although take-out is suggested. The staff at the counter could learn to be more amicable, but hey everyone is allowed to have bad days I suppose!
Superb ambiance and food
5/5 A must and a major asset in restaurants in Saint Jean. The bibimbaps are just incredible..
Coming here is very good, very good services, it fills the belly very well!!!!
Its written open but I arrive on site and its closed, disappointment...
Very good service and very good food in every meal
Beautiful little restaurant, well decorated, very colorful. The tacos were very good! Very affordable prices.
Always ultra fresh and really tasty!
Always such good service from them, the food is excellent! Im going back there for sure
Super good ramen soup to take away that I just ate! Only small problem I had no egg in my soup and I find that it doesnt have a lot of noodles if I compare to a lot of ramen Ive made!
Great place, good, friendly and fast! And veggie options
Superb place!
I was skeptical of the concept considering the number of countries involved, but the delicious and professional ramen quickly dispelled my doubts. Looking forward to trying the Korean, Hawaiian and Mexican options.
It was my first visit. I loved it, the food was fresh, delicious and affordable. Im going to go back!
Best food if youre craving Mexican or Japanese food.
HUMMMM! BEAUTIFUL discovery in Old St-Jean, good spicy food.... Nice owner! To visit!
Very good inexpensive tacos. Beautiful decor
Always excellent, very good service
Super good. Warm and simple welcome. What could be better?
Very good service, excellent food
I ordered a bowl of ramen and 1 taco. The ramen soup was ok, however I found a hair on one of the eggs. The cashier made a mistake in my order and the tacos I received were not the ones I had ordered. They were, however, good. In short, I dont recommend the ramen but if youre looking for a place for tacos you might like it. I didnt really enjoy my visit however and dont plan to return.
Nice place with friendly owners. The food is excellent no matter what you have on the menu. The service is good and fast considering the traffic.
Delicious and good service!!
I ordered a Taco bowl and a poke bowl and without us even having time to realize it, the contents of our dish had vanished.
Very nice discovery, several choices of exotic healthy dishes that are really nutritious Fresh and good prices
Excellent dish at an affordable price and quick service. Need a fresh dish? A poké bowl would be in order. For comfort food? Ramen soup then (Kazan is my favorite )
Very reasonable value for money for great flavors!!
Hard pass on this place. I have a severe corn allergy they were notified they brought my dinner out with corn on it. Service was extremely slow, I ordered a steak that came out cold. I asked for bread I was told the kitchen just literally closed so they could not bring bread but would be happy to sell dessert. Several items on the menu were not available. I won t be back.
Excellent! Fresh dishes and friendly service. We will come back.
The portions are totally worth it for the price (which is totally affordable), a single meal could more than feed two people. You can ask for a box to bring back the leftovers that you didnt manage to eat, the meal was very, very good. The atmosphere was pleasant, the restaurant is nicely decorated, the employee at the cash register was very nice and welcoming, in short, great experience, I recommend 100%!
Very good value for money.
Great taste every time and variety of fresh ingredients
For good, tasty and quick food
Awesome food
The food is superb, being able to eat Japanese ramen soup in a decor that mixes Asian and Mexican with Mexican music in the background, its unheard of and I love it. Small dining room with around twenty seats, its quiet and delicious
Colorful and tasty! Quite simply the best place to enjoy a poke bowl!
Oh my
Fresh and delicious.
Delicious
Super good!
Fresh food, refreshing taste and delicious flavors. With every bite, its a delight. Always so satisfied every time I buy from you. THANKS .
Always super fast, fresh ingredients, combination of flavors just wow!
DELICIOUS
First for my partner and me. It was excellent and very spicy, perfect
Always a delight! The food is fresh, the atmosphere relaxed and the staff very welcoming! One of my favorite restaurants in St-Jean
Everything is fantastic, but especially the taco bowl. Affordable price and generous portion much appreciated! We come back as often as possible! Authentic and fresh, nothing comparable in the surrounding area :)
Always a must for me and my daughter. Taste and freshness guaranteed. Simply delicious. Good service. Nice adjacent shop with interesting products. There are some great finds to be made there.
My favorite restaurant in town!!! The portions are generous and the value for money is perfect!!!
Super Good, inexpensive, the place is super beautiful the tacos are really good
Very good and it costs virtually nothing. Pleasant staff and the small attached shop is fun too.
Fast service and friendly staff! The food was good, the coconut curry sauce added a nice spice to their pokebowl!
Wow!
First try at Chop Shop and it was delicious, everything is fresh, tasty and the portions generous. We tried the taco bowl and the chicken bibimbap (just spicy enough) we will come back!
Excellent restaurant, congratulations to Marco and his entire team.
Excellent food and great customer service
Phew, what can we say about the ramen from the Chop Shop quite simply a pure delight! Very affordable for the quality and flavors. They also offer a sublime variety of bagged ramen imported directly from Japan. If you were hesitating, dont hesitate any longer, go for it! ;)
The best Poké bowls in town
Very disappointed with the poke bowls no fresh vegetables just a mix of all their salsa.
Wow great tacos we tried them all and we all loved them but my favorite is the shrimp one
One of my favorite restaurants in Old Saint-Jean! Delicious food, fast service, beautiful presentation and great staff!
First time for me. really disappointed the soup was cold and lacked flavor. we dont all have the same tastes I think
Excellent and inexpensive! The family loves it! Much better to pick up than fast food
I had a very nice first experience, an employee who knows very well what she is selling, generous portions and fresh ingredients. I cant wait for the dining room to be reopened!
Good food, portion not big enough for the price, I was still hungry afterwards... I ate a tuna Poké with spicy sauce / tofu bibimbaps / braised chicken taco bowl (3 different times). The poké was more filling than the bibimbaps and it was more filling than the taco bowl. I dont know how to respond to a response from the owner, so I reposted to answer this question: What did you eat?
An excellent little restaurant, the plates are generous, the prices are affordable, the food is fresh and tasty. The staff is always friendly! I recommend the Chop Shop to everyone!
Fast and efficient service, fresh and tasty food. Simply delicious. Best fast food in St-Jean.
Thank you for this great experience. Dishes that you dont find on every street corner. Well done, it s a delight!! I highly recommend...
Delicious bibimbaps, Poké and Ramen
I recommend
Food was great. Does look a bit weird from outside but great once in!
One of a kind. The menu is a bit all over the place (mexican place serving pokebols?) But very fresh and healty food. Service is really quick.
The soup was super good!
The food is always wow! The ramen soups are incredible and the other bowls (tacos, poke and bibimbap) are just as much. I go to Chop Shop during each of my visits to St-Jean!
Small, warm space. Very good soup of the day.
Excellent food!! Super fresh and TASTY!! Also unbeatable price.
Service as good as their menu
What a beautiful and good local restaurant!! Wow! Great discovery, honorable mention to the smoked salmon poke bowl!! I recommend this establishment to everyone without hesitation!
A great place to try! At first glance at the menu, I had a hard time believing that a restaurant could pull off tacos, bibimbap and ramen all at the same time. But wow! The coconut/curry ramen is excellent, the nachos are delicious, the shrimp taco is very good and the brownie is YUM. The portions are also very good for the price and the service is very fast. We will definitely go back regularly
Fresh ingredients. Very tasty. Great discovery!
Solid
The beef Tataki poke with honey and ginger was simply sublime. It was so good that I called back to congratulate the chef...
Very good :)
Really solid service and the food is delicious!
Owner-operators who introduce us to excellent dishes. Poke bowls are tasty.
I loved it!! Super good, very affordable and great service
Very good, fresh, generous portions!
Quite simply my favorite restaurant in St-Jean! The food is good, great atmosphere and the people are super interesting. Absolutely worth trying!!!
Good, very good portion and cool atmosphere
One of our favorite spots for a quick meal. Fairly priced, prepared fresh, and delicious meat toppings for the poke bols. Why arent you open on Sundays though!
One of the best restaurants in St-Jean! Fresh ingredients daily, inexpensive and large portions... Its delicious!
INSANE SOUP AND POKÉ
Wow the dishes are beautiful and really delicious!
Very good tacos with beautiful fresh products
Very good, the owner is very friendly
Great local food! Its a beautiful little restaurant/counter. The Poké bowls and bimbimbap are excellent! Tacos too. Everything is good and the prices are reasonable for the good quality of the products.
Best food +!!!!!!!!!!!!
It s delicious!!
A restaurant mix of Mexico (tacos), Hawaii (poke bowl), Korea (bibimbap) and Japan (ramen) At lunchtime, still very busy, the colorful room is not very large, around twenty seats We order and pay at the counter and they come to serve the table I had the coconut broth ramen with tofu. It was good. The egg was perfect but I would have expected a little more depth in the broth (Im really demanding). The noodles were just okay. My friends chose the large taco bowl and it looked delicious. Tacos to try too Im going back
Wow beautiful decor experience that makes us feel completely in another country. Welcoming staff and quality ingredients! Coming back for sure!
Original, different very well
Stunning!!! Excellent service, exceptional food!
The taco was very delicious. We tried all four flavors, and we liked the shrimp and pineapple the most. I regretted not ordering a bowl of ramen, but I saw it on another table and it looked delicious. Will go again if I have the chance!
Best restaurant in St-Jean.. if you were in Montreal your food would probably be $4-5 more expensive... Its truly delicious
The tacos are really good! Accessible parking close to the waters edge.
Good place, good service, nice ambience
Original food. Good taste very good
Wonderful service and quality exotic food like you wont find in St-Jean and the surrounding area!
Great service! Excellent food
The 5 star is well deserved, i got served within 3 minutes, staff very casual and funny, fonnd is excellent and pretty cheap.
