Tchoup Chop

Emeril's Tchoup Chop

in Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando

Last updated: February 7, 2018

This dining venue's final day of operation was December 31, 2017.
The information below is provided for historical reference.
At a Glance

Long a dark-horse favorite among local foodies, Tchoup Chop's new chef de cuisine Ryan Vargas reinvigorated the restaurant in 2014, renovating its kitchen in 2014 with an expanded sushi bar -- rolling creatively overstuffed maki like the Red Dragon (tuna, panko shrimp, habanero mayo) or Surf & Turf (blue crab, hibachi steak, truffle oil) -- and one of Central Florida's only robata grills, capable of searing small morsels (such as pork belly tocino or randomly-spicy shishito peppers) at a scorching 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The best appetizer is still the deliciously messy kiawe smoked baby back ribs, which are often discounted during the bar's daily (5-8 p.m.) happy hour, Royal Pacific's best-kept culinary secret.

The beef and duck entrees stand out more than the seafood or vegetarian dishes, which is a bit surprising for a restaurant that bills itself as an Asian/Polynesian fusion. The roasted duck breast was the hit of the meal. If you have your heart set on seafood, the cedar wrapped salmon or sesame tuna is your best bet.

The bartenders seem to have a slightly better grasp of the wine list than some of the waitstaff. Don't be shy about asking one of the bar staff for a wine recommendation.

What’s it like inside?

A cavernous space on the bottom floor of the Royal Pacific, with painted concrete floors and tall ceilings. Tchoup Chop features an open kitchen with seating to watch your food being made. A glass and wood partition separates the bar from the main dining room, and there's an outdoor bar just a few feet from Tchoup Chop's entrance, too.
