Chop Chop Noodle House lands smack in the centre of Ponsonby Central, brimming with wholly unapologetic flavour. Think tsunami bowls of ramen — tonkotsu, miso, shoyu, tom yum — loaded with house-made noodles, slow-braised brisket, crispy chashu, and fiery kimchi. Add in Korean-style fried chicken, outlaw-level pork buns, and a whisky selection to match, and you’ve got a riotous cocktail of East-meets-west theatre. The interior is compact, bar-centric, and buzzing; the service is as fast as lightning. With bold slurps and high-energy chops, this spot is utterly unforgettable.
