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.

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 !

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!

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!

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.

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.

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%!
