Where do I begin? From the moment I walked in I did not feel welcomed. From not being greeted to hearing everyone come in behind me being greeted and welcomed with opened arms. Was sat after checking in, took forever to receive my refresher drink (which I enjoyed), took forever to order as I did have questions about the menu. Noticed two server(s) because there were only two people working the floor, were not attentive enough to me. I had to look around every time I needed something and ask multiple times for things since no one came to check on me during my duration of dining. No one followed up when I received my food to ask if I needed anything and how things were. However, I did notice the servers being attentive to the nonblack tables. There was also a large group (which were black) who received service periodically. Unfortunately, the amazing food did not make up for the mediocre service that I received. I will not be returning. I heard great things about this place and although the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, the service takes away from the experience.

The server was knowledgeable and assisted with pairing food items with drinks. The appetizers and drinks were brought out very fast. Everything was served hot as expected. The food was delicious and tasted fresh.

This is such a great place for both intimate date nights and special occasions with friends and family. We especially love that ChopnBlok is bringing fresh perspective to the Houston food scene and also that they have included vegetarian and vegan options. There’s really something for anyone to enjoy, and the ambience/decor is awesome.

Everything wad amazing! The decor created a really relaxed, welcoming and unapologetically black ambiance. Our server was good. The food was amazing. I tried the golden, the suya and the dutch egg. I look forward to returning to try other dishes.
