The atmosphere is one of a buzzy buzzy Asian “chophouse” and bar and the style reflects the charming, laid-back hospitality of Australians. Here you can enjoy great food in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Great for groups of friends!

The menu is a superb mix of salads, grills, appetisers and curries with the freshest ingredients and scintillating flavours. The accompanying sauces, jams and broths are perfectly balanced and add just the right touch of spice.

Dishes are generous and designed to share allowing diners to sample a wide range of the menu. Another reason why it is great for group dining.

We feasted on Green Papaya Salad with Scud Chili, Peanuts, Tamarind; Corn & Squash Fritters with Tomato Chili Jam, Iceberg lettuce; Dumplings with Rick and Morty Szechuan Sauce, Special Fried Chicken and Steamed Snapper with Bok Choy, Ginger-Soy Broth.

All the dishes were spectacular as were the cocktails, especially the Passion Pop with passionfruit pulp, cachaca and chartreuse.

And the Steam Date Pudding with Palm Sugar Syrup and coconut transported us back to Asia, it was a divine end to super delicious meal.

The service is friendly, fast and informative. Our waiter knew all about the menu and the ingredients and was able to guide us on how much to order. Mind you we were very full but very satisfied after our eating expedition.

In a city where Asian Fusion is not as easy to find as in Australia, Uncle Chop Chop is a standout!

So Chop Chop and hurry over ….bookings are essential already.
