Chopstix Chinese Food

I’ll preface this review by saying that I actually worked for a Chinese food restaurant in Northern NJ for about two years during high school. Obviously, being a delivery driver doesn’t mean much, but I do know how Chinese food is supposed to taste.
Chopstix is a solid, reliable choice for Chinese food. I’m a big fan of orange beef. I’ve tried it at every single Chinese takeout restaurants that I could could in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. Chopstix has some of the best in the area. Actually, the only place that I would consider to be better is New Hong Kong on 17^th street. Granted, that spot doesn’t have the best Unilocal reviews.
The won-​ton and egg drop soups lack in quality. They most likely just use a stock broth to cook them. However, the orange beef keeps me coming back!

Think mall quality Chinese American fast food. Extremely mediocre on all dishes. Will appeal to those who have no idea what good Chinese food can be.

I had lunch here today while getting my car serviced across the street. I had their BBQ Rib lunch special. It was pretty good! I just wish they give you three ribs instead of two for lunch. But other than that, I was completely satisfied. And the pricing is great, too!

Tonight’s review should have been a very long follow up to what I would normally say is an awesome experience to a great south Florida Chinese restaurant. I order take out from chopstix about once a week. I’m pretty low maintenance, the only thing I ask for is my sauce on the side. Tonight things took a turn for the worse. I called for my normal takeout at 9:40. They close at ten. The girl I spoke to on the phone, which claimed to be the manager on duty, explained that the kitchen was broken down and cleaned therefor she could no longer take any more take orders even though they are supposed to be open until ten. I then explained that I have never been told this over the last 4 – 5 years that I have ordered from there. She said «if I have a problem, I can call back tomorrow» Well, that’s not happening. After that attitude, I’ll find a new place.

I had the orange chicken. Sauce was good but the chicken was chicken parts pressed together. Very fatty. Service was not very friendly. Wait time was decent.

Good food. Went here last week and am back. Glad I finally found a decent Chinese restaurant.
Small dine-​in, but I get carry-​out anyway.

Tried calling and placing an order but To my avail no one would pick up the phone. And I got an answering service? At 8pm? That’s not great business… That’s what I get for cheating on yeung house (who by the way has awesome Chinese) just wanted to try something new. Wasn’t meant to be :(

So much for answering phone calls from hungry «potential» customers that wanted to try something new. I guess I wasn’t meant to betray Yeung House by ordering from these guys.

Food very hot (temp) as take out. Did not call it in just went and ordered/​waited. Seems expensive but nicely packaged.

Stopped here last week and wish I had not. Ordered sweet and sour chicken but asked, several times in advance, if the chicken was white meat. The woman who took my order insisted that it was. It was not. I found this out after taking it home. It was dark meat. To make matters worse, it was just not good. The dish came with no onions or peppers, as I usually find in sweet and sour chicken. Instead, it came heavily breaded, like a corn dog with a tiny piece of meat and a lot of fried dough. It was really awful. Too bad it’s so close to my place. However, even the convenience cannot overcome the really bad food.

Always great, always fresh, and always fast! Definitely the best Chinese I have found since moving to SoFla, where the Chinese is mediocre, at best. Not at all greasy… just really good food. Egg Rolls are fantastic!

I was pleasantly surprised by Chopstix. Sam and I came here on a night that neither of us felt like cooking. We are on a fairly strict low carb diet, so we figured Chinese food would be a good option. I ordered the Dragon and Phoenix, which was a combination of General Tso’s chicken and mixed veggies with shrimp. I found this dish to be very tasty! I ordered it without rice because of the diet, but I’m sure it would have been even better with delicious rice mixed in. Sam ordered the orange beef and a large egg drop soup. He enjoyed his meal as well. They give you a lot of food for a decent price. The orange beef was under $ 10, the dragon and phoenix was under $ 13 and the soup came free since we spent over $ 20. Overall it was a good experience from a small take out place. I will definitely be back as I really want to try their Crab Rangoon… The diet ends in a few days!

Everything I ordered was Excellent which is very rare for South Florida Chinese Restaurants. It’s fresh great food, Chinatown style and at a very fair price!

Update. Got food from this place again. Walked in and ordered. Done in less then 15 mins. Food was fresh and very good! General Tsos was amazing and so was the Sweet and Sour chicken. Ive ordered from here many times and the food is really good but the quality yesterday deserved an update and a 5 star rating. This place is also very very clean.

Is it possible that a restaurant can have better sides than actual main dishes? Each time we order from them the entrees are just ok. This is a small take-​out/​dine-​in restaurant that is not the most comfortable to dine in due to the lack of décor and usually small children are there of which are the employees. We have tried the dine in experience, take-​out, and Delivery Dudes as they do not offer delivery.
Our most recent visit was take-​out. We were on our way home and decided to stop and order dinner. We made our order which included extra crispy General Tso Chicken. Paid and pick up in only 10 mins. After running next door to Publix we were back and they already had it all packed up in a brown bag.
Everything was included in the bag that you would need to complete the meal (abundance of sauces, silverware packets/​napkins, fortune cookies, and most importantly all of our food! We ordered Hot & Sour Soup and Egg Drop Soup; both have good flavor and are hearty soups! The order of Crab Rangoons come 5 in an order and are filled generously. They are the best we’ve come across so far in SoFL. As our entrees we split the Beef Lo Mein as well as the «extra» crispy General Tso Chicken. The Generals lacked the most, of course not being crispy and overall not much flavor. On the other hand the Beef Lo Mein had good flavor but was very greasy and even greasier the next day as leftovers.
The portion sizes are very large and we always have leftovers. Prices are reasonable and they are quick to make your order. If they could improve their entrees with less oils & salts and more flavor/​seasonings then this would be a great local spot.

I go to this chinese restaurant a lot. Always a nice place to order from when hunger suddenly strikes and you have nothing in the fridge. They always surprise me by giving me something extra for free.

Don’t usually eat here because I generally don’t care for it but we decided to try it again. Ordered combos, added soup and also an appetizer. General tso isn’t bad though I always question when all pieces are perfectly shaped the same as that’s just not what chicken looks like. Rice was over-​filled with carrots peas and bean sprouts. Everything on the inside of the egg roll is white and spongey, it’s just all old cabbage I guess? They forgot the soup and the appetizer.
Didn’t finish the meals and won’t be returning. Don’t recommend. #byefelicia

I ordered pepper steak, and shrimp egg rolls. The pepper steak was very flavorful and the egg rolls were crisp and not greasy. For traditional American Chinese food. Pretty good.

I went there to get gen tso chicken No brocaly in was taste less as hell no flavor at all for 23.00 for 2 dinners i am gonna dispute the charges on My credit card was the worst dinner i eve had at a chines rest Dont pay for i am telling all my friends not to go to chop stix in wilton manorsd

As for the General Tao’s chicken, nobody ever served General Tao any chicken like this, because if they did, the General would have put them in front of a firing squad and had them shot. It was overly salty and consisted mostly of skin and fats. Though eating here was my first big mistake, ordering a dish with General Tao’s chicken was a second mistake.
A third mistake was to have a sit down meal because Chopstix is clearly nothing but a Chinese takeout place though they have three tables each with a four chair seating capacity. When you get your food, it comes in a takeout containers and the flatware they give you is nothing but flimsy plastic. Trust me, trying to eat General Tao’s chicken with a cheap plastic fork and knife is no easy task nor is attempting a bowl a Won Ton with a tiny little plastic spoon any easier. Also, if you order a drink, don’t expect them to have opened the bottle or that you will get a glass to drink it from.
And though rather well behaved, the proprietor’s children use the customer dining area for their computer playroom. On the bright side, it will give you a chance to hear a lot of computer sounds that you’ve most likely never heard before.
I spent my entire time a Chopstix wishing I had gone just down the 26^th Street to Lotus Chinese Kitchen where I could have had much better food, service, eating utensils and atmosphere at what would have actually have worked out to have been at a lesser price.
Needless to say, I won’t be back and sorry to say that I think the advice of some of the other Unilocalers with regards to this place is totally off the mark.
