As a Florida resident for 7 years from NY and new to the neighborhood, I always have to try the Chinese to see how bad it is. Thanks to the other ratings which were accurate this place is decently good. No weird, chewy meat or super MSG sauces. We were delightfully satisfied at how inexpensive, fast and good it was. Will definitely be reordering (bummer they don't deliver) from here again. Looking forward to not paying $20 for chix with broccoli filled with sodium, from that big chain restaurant.
Review Source:Let's get real about the typical Chinese restaurant. Same menu, same food. We think that this place is a cut above for two reasons. It is extremely clean and the dishes are fresh. They don't look and taste like the basic fixings have been sitting around for days. Portions are substantial, taste very fresh and did I mention how clean the place is? Â Compared to one Chinese place with great taste that is filthy and another one down the street that appears to let the basic recipes sit for days (and is also not so clean) this is a five star take out place!
Review Source:Yo, these reviews are wack - went here bc my fav chinese joint was on vacation, this place is inexpensive and rightly so.. To set the stage, Its got the old school photos of the chinese dishes backlit over the register. We got the general tso chicken and shrimp fried rice. General Tso would be disappointed with these mini fried nuggets drenched in ooze sauce.. The shrimp were ok, but they used yellow rice to make the fried rice?? seriously, is there a shortage of white rice?? you all can continue eating here, but this was my first and last visit..
Review Source:This is great for quick to-go Chinese food. It is very small with only about four tables. Â The menu is a typical Chinese to-go menu. Â I always order the crab-meat won ton and General Tso's chicken. Â The best part is you can see the whole kitchen from the counter. You can see for yourself just how clean they keep it. Â I would order ahead of time because on a Friday night the wait can be long. Â The price is perfect too.
Review Source:I was craving some Chinese food the other night and found this place here on Yelp, liked the reviews and decided to give it a shot. It's your typical Chinese take-out style restaurant with a couple seats on the inside if you really want to eat there. The girl that took the order was very friendly and accommodated my request to switch out the rice from the dinner combo with veggie lo-mein. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food is exactly what you expect from a good Chinese restaurant and maybe a little bit more. Whenever I get the itch for more Chinese, this will be on the top of my list.
Only complaint and the thing keeping this from a 5 star is they forgot my vegetable spring rolls. Oh well!
Standard american chinese menu, but everything seems a bit fresher and tastier than most places. Â Sweet and sour chicken is my go-to option, and they do a good job with it here - nice pieces of all white meat chicken, not over cooked. Â Wonderful, friendly, quick service. Â And their dinner plate combinations (entree, pork fried rice, and egg roll) for $7-8 is more than enough food and a great deal.
Review Source:My partner and I had a hunkering for some good inexpensive Chinese food last night... often, since moving to Ft L, we have resorted to a chain whose name I will not mention, which is fine, but nothing special. We thought we'd try something new... We read the other review here for Chopstix and decided to go for it, despite the fact that I am not usually a fan of "takeout Chinese."
We had the General Tso's chicken, the Szechuan beef, and fried dumplings... all were delicious. Â The General Tso's chicken was some of the best I've ever had: crispy-chewy on the outside with that wonderful spicy sweet sticky orange-reddish-brown sauce (it was flavored with dried red chili peppers, the way it should be!) Â The vegetables in the Szechuan beef were fresh, and the meat was tender and juicy. Â The dumplings were also awesome, and the sauce that accompanied them was very tasty, infused with zingy gingery goodness. Â Also, the pork fried rice was good: fresh, fluffy, with a nice bright yellow-ocher color. Â
Ambiance-wise, Chop Sticks reminded me of a classic NYC Chinese takeout. But I have to say, the food here was worlds better than most I've had at similar looking places in NYC. Â I heard another customer ask a staff-person if they use MSG when preparing the food, and she was told no. Â All the food tasted fresh to me, with none of that nasty MSG aftertaste, so I assume that the staff person was being honest.
I can't deny that the dining environment here is far from fabulous: it's basically a take-out with a few tables for those too hungry to wait to take their food home to eat. Â We were famished, so we ate in... and listen: once we got our meal, we didn't even notice the bad florescent lighting anymore because our taste buds were dancing with delight!
I'm torn between giving Chop Sticks 3 or 4 stars, mostly b/c the decor is hardly anything to cheer... Â but for the cheap price, and if your main concern is not ambiance, I'd say give it a try... you can always take your order home with you and dine in the luxury of your own finery.
The BEST Chinese food in Wilton Manors, maybe Fort Lauderdale. Â I'm a native New Yorker...so good Chinese is everywhere, unlike here in South Florida..only place better than NYC has to be L.A. Â Chopstix isn't quite as good as a Chinese joint with the bulletproof glass and a dollar menu..but still tasty as hell. Â I loved the General Tso's chicken. Â It was crispy, tangy and a little bit of heat.. Â
The Lo Mein was also good..I will update this review as I try more Chinese restuarant staples. Â As many other folks have said, it is super clean, and the food isn't greasy.
Really solid Chinese food. Â Definitely has less grease than the take-out places I have used in Boston, so that alone is an improvement.
I tried the beef with broccoli, General Tao's chicken, and Szechuan shrimp, all which satisfied my craving for Chinese food.
This place is perfect for late night take-out runs!
I'd been wanting to try this place since it opened, but without a menu and hating the sit and wait part for take-out food, it took me a few months. Finally, I was seriously craving some egg drop soup and Lotus Kitchen, my usual Chinese fix, had been seriously letting me down the past few visits, so I bit the bullet and went to Chopstix.
I am so glad I did, because not only was the wait time under 15 minutes for a 3-dish order, but it was awesome! The egg drop soup actually had flavor, and the wontons I added were nice and soft and flavorful. The steamed pork dumplings were super meaty, fresh and not gummy at all and the dipping sauce some of the best I've had.
I got the General Tso's chicken, one of the staples I judge a Chinese place by, and it was some of the best I've had as well. Crispy, good hint of spice, and flavorful. The pork fried rice was also good with bean sprouts added into the usual mix of peas, carrots, and onions. My mother was pleased with the amount of veggies included with the Mu Goo Gai Pan, and while not spicy enough for my father (nothing ever is, though), the chicken in garlic sauce was also great.
The place is small, a few tables to eat at and chairs to sit to wait for your order, but it's very clean and pleasant inside. The staff were friendly and it smelled wonderful in there. As for freshness, it was quiet when I walked in, but once my order hit the computer I could hear the sizzle of the woks...you could tell everything was prepared fresh!
So I'm convinced, even though it's pretty much a takeout place (you CAN eat there, but I'd rather be comfy at home) it's replaced Lotus Kitchen in my book!
Ah! Finally another Chinese takeout place in Wilton Manors other than Lotus Chinese Kitchen. This place, which recently opened up, is actually more of a fast food takeout place, without losing the quality of the food. There's only a couple of tables at the place, in case you're planning to eat there. They have all the usual items on the menu. I've tried a few things and they're all pretty tasty and not too greasy for Chinese food. You can see all of the kitchen while they prepare your food, and it's all nice and clean. This will definitely be my go-to place for takeout moving forward.
