Chopstix

Volcano Roll is colorful & incredible. Would suggest getting it spicy where they mix in a little Sriracha.

Eek! is right. Picked up a carry out order over the weekend, the first time I’ve tried this place. The scene I encountered upon walking in was down right dirty. Uneaten meals on tables, shoes laying about the un-​vacuumed floor, and an odor so unappetizing I did not even want to pick up my meal. However, because I have manners, I paid for the food ordered using the very convenient app. The tempura was actually quite good, but whatever they are trying to pass off as crunchy spicy tuna roll was some sort of strange (warm!), possible fish purée. As this restaurant (I dare call it such) offers delivery service, many may not know the conditions in their location; from someone who has been inside, buyer beware.

Always enjoy the food when I order from here. It’s delicious and our order always comes fairly quick.

Just visited for the first time. The service was very friendly. The nice lady helped me to pick out some sushi, which I enjoyed. Pricing was fair. The place looked decent too. I will be back to try again.

Sub standard faire. Ordered the Spicy Tum Yum soup and it was awful I didn’t finish it. Also had the «shrimp and lobster sauce» Poor in quality. The people are friendly and efficient but the food is awful. I won’t be coming back.

We are new to the area and found chop stix. The staff were friendly and we both enjoyed the food.

Surprisingly great experience. Small, humble dining area accompanied by very friendly staff.
I had the general Tso chicken lunch special, and a fresh lettuce wrap appetizer that was served intently on a plate with the best (outer pieces) of a half of lettuce head: peeled, and separated for easy consumption.
Surprisingly, the soup wasn’t watered down, and the egg roll was large, and fresh. This never seems to be a reality anywhere you go for a lunch special **especially on the weekend… if you can find a establishment that will offer you lunch special pricing on the weekends.
The price as more than fair, and they were open July 4^th. I will definitely return soon.
Recommend giving this new ownership a chance, you’ll be happy you did.

My girfriend and I went to chopstick, we’ve been there, to their impression is not very good, before their food in any restaurant are available, service attitude is not very good, especially the young lady, but now it is different, their new waiter service is very good, she introduced us Tai Panang Curry Chicken is great, we have never tried, and sushi, that is I most loves, sushi size is very good, the price is not expensive.

We have eaten at this restaurant for a few years now. I have seen that the recent reviews say it isn’t good now… we have honestly enjoyed the food even more than before! The sesame chicken was awesome, my husband loved his beef and broccoli, the shrimp toast was great (especially compared to the toast before) and the noodle bowl was also fantastic. I don’t usually write reviews, but the food has been so great that it deserves some kudos!

under new ownership.
food is now terrible :(

Chop Stix’s is by far one of the most Americanized versions of «Chinese» inspired food dishes I have ever came across.
Inside is mildly run down, and slightly reminds me of a hole in the wall who had a slight improvement over the years. This inside is dark, and a lot less seating is available than other places in Pasadena.
Most people I speak to tell me they love Chopstix because they use white meat and other places don’t; though this is true it isn’t the only place in the area that does this: Szechuan Café and Olive and Sesame do and are far better in the kitchen than here.
Pricing is on average for most Chinese food joints, just the food here is sub-​par and really not better than some other options minutes down the road. 2 stars.

Chop Stix is a great restaurant. Super efficient and friendly. The same people always answering the phones and at the register. It’s both dine in and carry out. The prices are a little more than other Chinese places in the area but the quality is way better. I love their Kung Pao chicken and real fried rice. Spicy and delicious. I don’t eat in often, but don’t be put off by the dark room — It gets crowded on weekends. The small size is quite a bit of food (and enough for me to share) so if you’re going for a large make sure you’ve got a group to feed. Make sure you get some crispy noodles with your take out! If you eat in they just put them on your table anyways, but they’re perfect with your rice. A great Friday night meal and Chinese food that doesn’t leave you feeling gross afterward. Yum!

Excellent food. They seem to use only good quality meat and lots of it in each dish. You can get a small or a large of anything which is nice. We recommend the Kung pao, pork fried rice, general cho’s, and sesame beef! We’ve only ever done takeout but it seems like a reasonably family friendly atmosphere.
