Reviews Summary
Chop Chop is a long-standing Chinese takeout spot praised for its generous portions and affordable prices, with many dishes made from fresh ingredients daily.

"I have been going to this place for probably 20 years (thru a couple of owners) and the food has always been very good and reasonably priced. They prepare the food they will be cooking fresh every day, and that's important. I have nothing but good things to say about this place, and I highly recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed."
Steven Seteroff
"Food is pretty good for the Lodi area. (Definitely better Chinese food/ quality out there, just not in Lodi so this is just a nice option for Lodi.) Customer service is always outstanding and the atmosphere is a step back in time, where nothing has changed since it opened it seems. We love Chop Chop is will always come back."
Stephanie Joy
"This place needs a makeover but the food is fresh and the general chicken so far is better than orange and sweet and sour chicken. The zucchini was chopped up squash and deep fried always fresh, the chicken egg rolls were not good to me but my kids enjoyed them."

Lodi Weekend Itinerary: Where to Eat, Drink, Bike & Explore
After arriving on Friday after work, if you are there in time for sunset, then I would recommend heading over to Chop Chop. Chop Chop is an excellent Chinese takeout spot with tons of flavor. The pan-fried chow mein is mouth-watering, and the spicy mustard they give you on the side goes great with it.
