Brooklyn Chop House just landed in Wynwood, and it’s already a celebrity magnet.

The swanky steakhouse from NYC has quickly cemented its rep as a go-to destination thanks to an influx of A-listers. Local rap stars have been hitting up this hot spot, located on the top floor of the Moxy Hotel, left and right.

Fat Joe kicked things off last Wednesday, with a couple of buddies to check out the fancy new, two-level digs. The next night, Rick Ross stopped by to toast the opening and share drinks with co-owner/music-industry vet Robert “Don Pooh” Cummings up on the roof at the CC Social Club.

And last weekend, two rap heavyweights held their birthday celebrations there (separately), DJ Khaled who turned the big five-o and Fabolous, now 48.

Like its 212 sisters, Brooklyn Chop House in Wynwood offers steakhouse faves with an Asian twist. Specialties include Peking duck, Alaskan King crab legs, soft shell crabs, sea bass and more.

Khaled showed his 38.9 million followers a sampling of the goods in a mouthwatering Instagram video as he was presented dish after dish.

The “All I Do is Win” singer seemed to be really, really enjoying the fare — e.g., a seafood tower, pastrami gyoza dumpings and chicken satay sticks — that at one point his eyes rolled back into his head.

“Man, the food here is unbelievable,” said Khaled.

Entrees are priced as one would imagine for such a stellar culinary experience. Under $50 there’s a braised short rib, spicy shrimp and everything crispy rice. Big spenders may want to go for the four pound “tender and succulent” ginger lobster, of course, that will set you back about $159.
