Today, I visited a wonderful little eatery called Grill N Chop. This is really a Japanese fast service restaurant with both sushi and noodle dishes. What i loved about the place was 1) its variety of clear, strong selections on its menu 2) its reasonable pricing of all items 3) its clean, spacious facility and 4) a kind, hospitable and efficient staff.
I am always on the lookout for good value and great flavor, and when I can get both of those with a pleasant experience with kind people, then I write a review. For me, Grill N Chop met all those criteria and exceeded my expectations on my first visit.
Today, I ordered a Ramen noodle dish with chicken. I chose not to get a combo today, only because I would be exercising a few hours later and didn't want to be overfull. The combos come with sushi and i will have to try that next time. That said, the ramen i had was really excellent! The noodles were cooked right, staying firmly together but completely cooked throughout. The chicken was flavorful and plentiful, and the vegetables throughout were complimentary to the noodles and chicken. The flavor of the soup broth was absolutely stellar. I really, really enjoyed it! My son got the chicken and rice plate, and the flavors and texture were likewise very, very good.
The location has a good sized dining room with lots of space. The room is open and well lit with good social distancing and plentiful room for each table. You order at the counter and then they bring the dish to you table. The staff is very kind. They explained any dishes I asked about and were patient as i made my selection. The prices were very reasonable as well. I got my large ramen bowl for under 10 dollars and i had 1/3 of it left over to take home. This is a very good value.
Beyond the good prices, kind staff and nice facility, the real winner here is the amazing taste of their noodle dish and ramen soup. Really it is spectacular. If you get a chance, and you are looking for some reasonably-priced ramen, check out...

Google Maps listed this place as â4.7â $10-20â, or in my book, âEconomy Sushiâ.
I ordered the Red Dragon (#10) and the Tiger Roll (#12). Both were delivered to my table on styrofoam plates and plastic utensils complete with a mini-cup that I happily filled to the rim with a mix of wasabi and soy sauce. By presentation and comparison, the rolls are small by diameter, but held together well without falling apart when âdrownedâ in wasabi sauce. Once ingested, the sushi melted in my mouth with little effort, if at all.
No doubt this Husband (Edward Chung) and Wife (Joanne Lee) Duo have opted to save money on dinnerware, and put that savings into their Sushi Art. -Compared to other âEconomy Sushiâ places Iâve been to,... Grill & Chop offers a good selection of the essentials without flooding the landscape with loud bells and pitched whistles. If you know what you want, this place has it; Sushi, Bowls, Plates, Tempura, Bento, Ramen / Udon, Yakisoba, sides, and even Kid âsized bowls.
I rated the Food at 5â, Service at 5â, but the atmosphere at 4â only to highlight the fact, - I didnât come here for service and ambiance. -I came here...
