New Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant

This Chinese restaurant receives most of its business from takeout. I would rather take it out than eat in the pretty small seating area. The food, though, is surprisingly good for strip mall Chinese.
I always order the tofu with steamed rice. There are plenty of vegetables to go along with it. The lunch prices are pretty cheap.
It has pretty big portion sizes. They really give you your money’s worth. The taste may be bland sometimes, but usually is still tasty. Another Asian place in the Sawmill area worth trying. I would recommend this for those looking for cheap but pretty good Chinese food.

I’m a regular customer there. they serve quality foods and good portion. recommended for take out. My favorite dishes are 干炒牛河，猪肉捞面，椒盐排骨，广东小炒，八珍豆腐。

Ordered this for lunch. Pretty sure the chicken wasn’t fully cooked and there was nothing inside my crab Rangoon. Won’t be going back there. :(

This place has been in business for quite sometime. I remember eating here frequently during lunch when I worked right off 270 & Sawmill back in the early 2000’s (wow old school huh!!). It was good basic American/​Chinese food I thought. back then.
Just recently came back to give it go after a visit to good olé Chuck E’s next door with the family. I just now realized they have an Authentic Chinese menu. Not as big as others I’ve seen at others but it seemed interesting. So equipped with much more daring taste bud (since I married lol), I gave it a shot.
Tried the seafood house pan fried noodles. It was superb! Tasted exactly how it was supposed to like how I had it at Shangri-​la (now closed) back in the 90’s.
Also had the Beef stew on rice. Yummy!
The Pan fried bitter melon with pork was also delicious.
The kids had General Tso and Hunan chicken and they were pretty good.
Great price, great food and most importantly the kiddos were happy!

I ordered online from the lunch menu and the process was easy. I got a confirmation email. It was ready on time and I was in and out quickly. The chicken lo mein was great, made fresh with good quality chicken and filled the styrofoam container! I will probably have leftovers for days. I also got a small hot and sour soup and it was quite large, good flavor. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoons, they contained very little filling. All in all the lunch menu was a great value and what I’d expect for good Chinese food.

Good, basic American Chinese food. Great actual Chinese food! So glad they have an authentic menu side as well. However, I adore their chicken fried rice. Fresh bean sprouts make it totally worth it.
After trying it a few times to get a good consensus of the menu, I’d definitely keep this on my radar as a go to lunch or dinner stop. Cheap prices, quick service, and friendly staff will keep me coming back.

This place was just ok nothing to get real excited about, but the lunch special (I had sweet and sour chicken) was a great value It was 4.99 and had plenty of food and included the drink (can) and egg roll

inexpensive but not vegan friendly! or maybe I wasn’t clear enough lol

I have to admit that I haven’t had much of their food. They have a regular menu with your typical Chinese dishes (general tso, Lo mein, etc) and a Chinese menu with more authentic dishes. The only two dishes I order are beef and egg and the crispy salt and pepper pork, which are on the Chinese menu. The beef and egg dish is huge and it’s good over rice with chili oil sauce if you like spice. I’ve had better salt and pepper squid, but it’s decent here.

One of better Chinese spots in Dublin if you want quick and relatively inexpensive takeout.

Honestly 3 to 3+ on the food but 4+ on the portion size.
I had hot and sour soup and twice cooked pork. First the soup.
The broth was good but no woodear or tiger lily buds. Light on pork and egg, but flavorful and sour (not particularly spicy hot). Very little cornstarch which I rate as a plus and beefy as opposed to chicken broth which for me is also a plus. Fine for the price but certainly not memorable.
The twice cooked pork portion was huge. You could have plenty to eat for the whole day on this meal. The pork was the standard all purpose pork and was not twice cooked but that is generally par for the course in 90% of the Chinese restaurants as a whole and almost all of the Formica table /​styrofoam plate type places such as this. The sauce was fine, but had no fermented bean which is how I prefer it, If you are looking for the city’s best twice cooked pork this is not it. In my option that would be China Dynasty which is at least twice as expensive.
Ambiance is about a ³⁄₁₀. Cleanliness is fine. Not really a first date joint.
The twice cooked pork is off the «American» menu and it is not from their strong suit which looks to be southern Chinese.
When reading my review It does not sound 4 star but this is my 3^rd time back which is unusual. I think I really enjoy its absolute lack of pretension. It’s just a huge portion of good not great food. If you like southern Chinese I suspect this is a true 4 star joint.
Also gets my love for being a Mom and Pop joint.

The Chinese menu offers some very tasty, authentic southern Chinese food. The good news is that the Chinese menu has English translations on it. I have only been there for dinner and only have ordered off the Chinese menu. The service is… what service? Anyways, a great place for take out.

New chopsticks is great for takeout. They have a great lunch time menu with decently sized portions. I stress this place is take out because there is no tv, no music, no waitstaff, no décor. It’s a standard walk in get your food and leave– though they do have tables if you choose to stay. I recommended the general tso’s chicken and the egg rolls.

I am a regular here, and I have to say the gems on the menu are all on the Chinese menu. Keep in mind that although it says Chinese menu, it has English translation. Some of the good picks from the Chinese menu are Salt and spicy chicken, beef rice noodles, and pan fried noodles. Give them a try!
The place is just as they advertised; authentic and affordable Chinese food. the owners are nice too!

I wasn’t very impressed with this restaurant at all. I was hoping for something better since rated pretty high by others. I ordered an appetizer (crab rangoon), soup (wonton), and lunch entrée (chicken & broccoli). The crab rangoon were overfried, hard, tasteless, with VERY little filling. The soup had a very bland broth with not very flavorful wontons. I ended up throwing the soup and the crab rangoon out. The chicken and broccoli was ‘ok’, but I ate a lot of it since I was hungry since the appetizer and soup were gross. The sauce on the entrée just tasted like soy sauce. It had broccoli and chicken pieces flavored with soy, no garlic or onion or any other veggies tossed in for flavor. The fried rice was terrible. I didn’t eat it. Just old steamed rice clumped together with soy sauce on it.
I will keep searching for GOOD chinese food in Dublin!

This place has great spicy chicken lettuce cups. their sweet and sour sauce is good. however not the best lemon chicken.

Lunch special from 11 – 3:30 for only $ 3.99!
Ok, if you are like myself, the headline caught your eye. Unfortunately we both got sick from the food. You might not, but we did.

Another «quiet» strip mall gem — you’d probably drive past New Chopsticks 10,000 times and never even think about going in there. In fact, I know I would, since that’s what I did for the past five years.
Then someone mentioned they had a «real» Chinese menu, and not just the normal White Guy Chinese, and I decided it was worth going to try it out.
Yeah, I should have stopped in here a long time ago.
My fiancée and I came in and were the only white folks in the place for most of our visit. When we went to the counter to order, the woman behind the register tried to cover up the «Chinese menu» with a regular one, but she was pleased when we actually asked to see the other.
We tried their spicy salt pork (a personal favorite of mine, and executed really well here) and the beef with bitter melon. Our hosts were… quite surprised… when we ordered it, at least if the sudden Chinese conversation between the hostess and a couple of the guys by the counter was what I think it was about.
Bitter melon is, in fact, REALLY bitter, but when combined with the sliced up beef and the savory black bean sauce, it’s also really, really good. I’m sure a lot of people would consider this an acquired taste, but if you’re curious, you should try it.
We also saw them send out clams in black bean sauce and a fish and daikon hot pot stew that looked delicious to another table, and I think we’ll be back to try them soon!
Interestingly, I noticed that we got served on styrofoam /​paper plates, while a family who came in and apparently knew the cooks /​hostess got served on more conventional plates. After getting a big seal of approval from the staff for eating the «real» Chinese food, I have to wonder if we might get the better plating, too, next time.
As has been mentioned, the place is incredibly minimal decoration and tables, but it works. It feels almost like a pop-​up restaurant that’s managed to become a permanent installation, and I honestly don’t have a problem with a place skipping the décor and focusing 100% on making awesome food.
I mentioned we were almost the only white folks in the place… just as we were leaving, a group came in and ordered sesame beef and General Tso’s chicken. I cannot tell you how badly I wanted to go up to them and say «Hey, wait, try this…»
Oh, well. Maybe they’ll give it a chance next time.

I really enjoyed this place. It’s definitely not fancy, and I’ve been in the area for years without even noticing it, tucked away in the strip mall.
The service was great. Counter service only, but very friendly and helpful. Sadly, utensils are flimsy plastic, so bring your own or just get it to go. The food was very good. I had Mongolian beef, and the beef and veggies were good quality, with a tasty sauce. There was a huge quantity, plus a lot of fried rice. I also had the crab rangoon; again, a large order. Fairly good, though not a lot of filling (and not a lot of crab in it…) I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. And I’ll be back, for dinner and hopefully for the incredibly cheap lunch specials.

The five stars is solely for value and authenticity — but that is how good the value and authenticity is. The «décor» is as utilitarian as it gets.
First, any order you get is huge; be prepared to eat it again. The portions are definitely big enough for two meals.
Second, they have a Chinese Menu — if you are into actual Chinese food, you need to ask for it, because when the white people come in, they hand you the menu with General Tso’s and Sweet and Sour Chicken.
My only minor beef with the place is that their lunch specials are Americanized Chinese (3.99 — 4.35 for a huge lunch, btw!), and I wish they would extend that special to the Chinese Menu.
Anyway, this review comes off of my third visit, and I had Szechuan Stir-​Fry pork, and I asked for it spicy. And this place knows how to bring the heat.
If you are looking for authentic Chinese take-​out, with huge portions and rock-​bottom prices (and really, who isn’t?), this is THE place. A+++, will buy again.
