Hop House

Hop House Review

A unique Korean-Japanese standout in the slew of cheap and cheerful Chinese eateries that have opened on Parnell Street (some local wags are already calling it Chinatown), Hop House is a restaurant and pub in one. Part of the old Shakespeare pub has been transformed into the friendliest, best-value new restaurant in the city. The dining room is bright and busy, with little table buzzers for service and the sounds of music spilling over from the bar next door. Traditional Korean specialties like kimchi are augmented with a large selection of sushi rolls, including the mouthwatering Black Tiger Roll with avocado, crab, eel, and teriyaki sauce. Hot dishes include spicy pork and squid.
