For All Your Asian Streetfood Cravings

Food is a story, an experience, a trip down memory lane, or even a beautiful introduction to a new culture. The Hop Bop Noodle Shop located on Newmarket’s Main street are all these things and more.

“Our menu is infused with foods that I grew up on, foods that have a purpose and a story,” says Jeff De Vera, Director of Operations. With twists on traditional street dishes from across the Asian diaspora, the menu is hugely popular for those seeking something familiar yet unique. “We truly get an array of people here, ” says De Vera. “The community has embraced this concept; even families are introducing our food to their kids and it’s great when we can share those moments.”
