Please note that the meal was complimentary. However, the opinions expressed in my blog are 100% my own!

I discovered Brooklyn Chop House few years ago, thanks to my friend Benny who proposed to go there for dinner. I used to tell people to go there as the food was always delicious, with an extensive menu that had not just cuts of meat, but also Chinese dishes. Interesting combination, the “Chop” of the name referring not only to the meat but also to the chopsticks, a nod from Stratis Morfogen to Philippe Chow with whom he had few ventures. So, we got invited to try their gigantic new restaurant in the heart of Times Square, where Buffalo Wild Wings used to be, before abruptly leaving at the beginning of the pandemic.

I admit that we barely missed the entrance that looks more like a club than a restaurant. The inside, with its dimmed lights feels like it, but, fortunately, at the time we went there on a Sunday evening, the music was not blasting so we could enjoy a nice meal.

We started off by ordering drinks: strawberry lemonade for Jodi and Sour Diesel cocktail for me. My cocktail was made with Hennessy cognac, peach schnapps, lemon juice, grapefruit juice and agave syrup. It was like a fruit punch, served in a fancy glass. Delicious and refreshing.

We then proceeded to try their “Impossible” burger dumplings and scallion pancakes. The dumpling was good, but I admit that It was not something I would reorder again. They were a it dense and the shell was thick. They would have done it with cheese and onions, or like the cheeseburger dumplings they serve, it might have been more successful. However, the scallion pancakes were delicious: crispy and delightfully greasy as you would expect.

We then got a bunch of sides and their 24 oz ribeye steak. Alright, I admit that the steak was all for me as Jodi is vegetarian. The steak, bone-in, cooked more medium than medium rare, was very good: with hints of kosher salt that enhanced the flavor of the 35 day dry aged meat, it was tender and juicy, with a nice char. As sides, we got their onion rings (crispy and cooked all the way through), wild mushrooms (nicely charred with a soy based sauce) and veggie fried rice that is one of my favorite fried rice in the City, flavorful and not boring.

Of course, we could not leave without trying their desserts and we got their double height chocolate cake that was quite fudgey.

Overall, we had a great meal at Brooklyn Chop House Times Square. The food never disappoints there and I love the fact that their menu offers so much variety, without calling itself a Chinese Steakhouse, satisfying both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diners.

Enjoy (I did)!
