Hop Bop Noodle Shop

I LOVE coming to this noodle shop! Aside from the fixed restaurant menu, my favourite thing is, is that you can get a “Build Your Own” soup. You can choose the broth, noodles, protein and vegetables. The food quality, portion sizes, service and prices are all excellent. For my bowl of noodles, which was larger than I was able to eat, cost $16. It may be a small restaurant, but I would say it is one of the best I’ve found across the GTA!

Enjoyed dinner here recently. We took advantage of the fixed menu and had the rice bowl with 2 gyoza. Kiddos ordered the ramen off the kids menu. Portion size was good and the food was pretty tasty. I had asked for mine to be non-spicy, but it still had some heat. Service was on the slower side, but everyone was friendly.

Absolutely amazing Noodle Shop! I got the Vegetable Spring Rolls and The Bibim Bop Rice Bowl. The food tasted so fresh and the bowl portion was very large! Everything was so clean and well kept, and the staff were super friendly and kind! I will be back to try the Ramen for sure!

Nice Asian street food. Tried for the first time and it’s the taste of authentic asian food that I missed. Had Sho-me the ramen and the soup base is nice, the pork is tender and taste like char siew (roast with sauce). The stir fried beef noodle is also tasty, with tender beef. Price is reasonable and service is good. Ambience is good too, with window facing main street. A little gem. Will be back! Edit: Came back and tried different dishes, but was not as nice. The spicy beef ramen soup was ok. The Shanghai beef soup was disappointing - noodles was thick and good, but broth wasn’t nice. Wouldn’t try these dishes.

It was a quiet Sunday, and I stopped in after attending a pottery class. The environment is clean, and the service was good. We had the chicken bao as an appetizer. The bun was pillowy soft, the sauce was tangy with a little heat, and the chicken was crunchy. Delicious. 😋 We ordered the beef brisket ramen, one spicy and one not. I appreciate that the chef was able to accommodate the non-spicy request.👍🏾 The broth was okay. Everything tasted "fresh" and could have benefitted with a little salt. The portions are good and pricing reasonable.

My kids love their kiddo ramen. We tried "The Hop Bop" noodle while I think the soup could be more spicy to enhance the favour. The Shirmp Bao was really good and we would recommend it. Overall, I think it's a good place to try out the fusion food of different Asian cuisines and chill out with friends in a relaxing restaurant. If you are picky about the taste of authentic Asian cuisine, this may not be the best go to place though.

THE BAO!! Best I’ve ever had!! Boyfriend and I stopped in to try one each and they were so good we ended up staying to try more and got an order of gyoza. The eggplant bao is by far the best, I think we ordered one of each. They are all incredible. Super fresh, high quality ingredients, perfectly prepared. The owner of the shop was preparing all the food herself and she was so kind, you can taste all the love and passion she has for her food. I can’t wait to come back and try EVERYTHING on the menu! Thank you Hop Bop for the amazing food, I’m so glad there is food this good in Newmarket. See you again soon!

A fusion restaurant with an interesting menu full of various options. I came during a Friday night and it wasn’t too busy. I ordered the crispy eggplant bao and the u-don good (vegan) noodle soup. Other party members ordered the curtsy bao and a veggie stir fry. The bao was amazing. The flavours were great and the bun was super soft and fluffy – highly recommend. The soup however was very unenjoyable. The mushroom flavours tasted stale and old, as if the soup was left to cook for three years and they finally found it and served it up. I struggled to eat it but only did because I was hungry. I do not recommend that dish whatsoever. I also had a taste of the veggie stir fry and was quite unimpressed. Great inclusion of vegetables, but truly nothing to write home about as it lacked flavour. Overall the service was pretty good, they were super accommodating and understanding of dietary restrictions. I would go back for their bao, but not for anything else. pros: • Bao was great • Extensive menu • Great location on Main St. in Newmarket cons: • Bad soup • Limited seating overall rating: 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
