Valued as one of the hippest nooks in town, Chelsea houses everything from art galleries to ethnic food delights. Like its locale, the setting is clean and laid-back, with reclaimed pine, vintage lights, concrete floors, large windows that flood the room with light, and a lovely backyard. Chop-Shop maintains a cool vibe through its delectably fresh and complex Asian menu. The food meanders this vast continent, beginning with the likes of fresh summer rolls plump with shrimp to juicy pan-fried pork and bok choi dumplings licked with a spicy soy sauce. Zha jian mia tosses springy wheat noodles in a spicy ground pork sauce with refreshing cucumber; and a pan-fried sea bass fillet is tender, sweet, and topped with sour vinegar pepper strips.
