Chopstick

Just moved to town so we are trying out the local Chinese food.
I ordered a whole bunch of stuff for 4 of us and they said it would be ready in 10 – 15 minutes, score, so fast. We did pick up and had to wait a few minutes when we got there. No problem. We were given all our food in a box for easy carrying since there was a lot.
–Orange Chicken– Was great, prob the best I have ever had
–General Tso Chicken– So I thought it was just ok as did my husband, my 2 friends said it was really good. I ended up eating the leftovers and they were not good, I had to throw them away.
–Sesame Chicken– This was really good, one of the best I have had very succulent chicken
–Honey pecan shrimp chicken (not positive that name is right) — I didn’t try this but my friend got it and really liked it. It looked weird, like a bed of chicken with mashed potatoes on top (there weren’t potatoes on it just looked like it)
–Fried Rice– I got plain fried rice and it was pretty good, I would def get it again
–Egg Rolls– Super good, I was only sad that they didn’t pack enough sweet and sour for our big order
–Crab Rangoon– I didn’t try any cause of the sweet and sour shortage but the friends seemed to like it.
–Egg Drop Soup-​Super good, on par with any other good egg drop soup I have had at other places
Overall, very good. I will be going back! :)
All of that food was $ 47 btw

Probably the best Mongolian Beef I’ve ever had. Great with fried rice and the shrimp eggroll. Great lunch special for $ 6 bucks. No corners cut, fresh ingredients and just the right touch of fire on the spice. The crew is very nice and friendly, free Wi-​Fi and very clean establishment.

Very good and super reasonable. Every time my sister is in town visiting, she insists on getting take out. The employees are very friendly as well.

Not bad! Very friendly employees. Food is kind of typical, but I’d say they’re a little better than the average take-​out place.

Got a lunch carryout. Chicken Lo Mein and it was enormous. Tastes pretty good. Will go back and try other dishes.

Everything was oddly sweet… it was gross. I could have dealt with that though. The breaking point for me was when I tried my vegetarian wontons… there were no vegetables in them. Nothing. It was just a crispy hallow shell. So upset. I’ll stick to China 1.

This place is a great addition to rolling meadows food options for take out or delivery. I stick with the steamed «diet» dishes that have no oil or sauce and get the sauce on the side (tip– substitute the teriaki for spicy brown sauce). Delicious and huge portions (enough for 2 meals). Soup is great too. Friends have complained the typical dishes are too salty at times but since Iv stuck to steamed only I have only had a good meals. The woman who runs (maybe owns?) the place is super friendly.

Fantastic! My new favourite go too… first time I ordered so I tried several entrees and apps; all were well done butt the shrimp was exceptional and they offered a complimentary vegetable fried rice that was well seasoned with loads of veggies, best I’ve had in a long time. Also, the gal who took my phone order was a hoot!

For fast food Chinese this place was great. The wait was short, food was hot, and the portions were huge. It was impossible to eat the entire lunch portion. I think we would have been able to split an order, but that’s us. We love good food, but hate to feel too full.
I thought it was a little heavy on the salt but my wife LOVED that.

Great food and really nice customer service. This was our first time ordering and definitely not last! They said 30min for delivery and came a lot sooner than expected, yet the food was fresh!

I was craving some take out Chinese and racked my brain with nearby places, preferably one I had yet to try. I remembered reading Chopstix was a favorite for some in the area, so I drove over to give it a shot.
I walked in to what seemed to be an argument, yet I continued in to browse the menu. They had many dishes to choose from and it appeared lunch dishes were a great deal. I noticed a section of steamed options, with sauces on side, for healthy alternative, which was nice to see. I ended up ordering enough for a small family and was out the door, food in hand, fairly quickly.
Once home, I dug right in. To my dismay, I was searching flavor in each dish. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. I’d say all the proteins themselves were fine, but the flavors of everything were simply lacking for me. The Ma Po Tofu was in a spicy, yet overly soupy, red sauce with peppers and chunks of pork, rather than a grounded pork. Probably the worst I’ve had. The best of the three entrée dishes I ordered was the Scallops and Garlic Sauce. For the appetizers, the steamed potstickers were tasty enough.
Maybe I’ll try some different dishes in the future, in hopes that I just ordered the wrong things, but I won’t be running back any time soon to do so. Not because I don’t run, which is true, but because nothing was worth going back for seconds.

The best Chinese food that I have found here in the northwest burbs. The food was fresh and very tasty! The portion size for the price is a fantastic deal! This is the go to place for Chinese good. you can’t go wrong with these guys!!!

Okay, so I tried Chopstick as a later-​evening dinner with my friends. I ordered the classic General Tso’s chicken while my friends got the Mongolian Three Delight and Lucky 7. The General Tso’s could have been good, the sauce was really nice, but the chicken was really overcooked and almost jerky-​like.
It’s hard to describe what this is like, unless you’ve kept Chinese delivery in your fridge uncovered for a few days and re-​heated it in the microwave. That is what this chicken was like. It was tough, stringy, and half of it was really inedible. My friends enjoyed their meals (that’s why the get the 2 stars), but they had to eat around the shrimp (also heavily over cooked).
I’ve had much better chinese in the AH area, I’d suggest Canton House if you want delivery, I’ve found their food is better prepared and cheaper, while their delivery is free (compared to a $ 3 fee here).
TL;DR Bad chicken, bad shrimp, over-​priced. You can do better.

Good quality meats and veggies! I was pretty surprised a small joint like this was able to present well cooked foods that aren’t overly greasy and gross and heavy! I’m always seeking places that are clean too, while always trying to be healthy. Also, they give pretty ample portions! I’m kinda sad I never checked this place out sooner. Will definitely be ordering from here more often.

We ordered here in a pinch. Our usual place was closed and don’t think we would do it again. Meager portions for a takeout Chinese place. Eh

We decided to give Chopstix a try and were highly impressed. Best service we’ve ever had for take out, anywhere. Chopstix was superior today and with very reasonable prices. Excellent, friendly service which made me feel extremely welcome and that they really appreciated my business.
I haven’t had Egg Foo Young in years and it was delicious.
My wife enjoyed the Pad Thai and their shrimp egg rolls were fantastic!
When I ordered egg rolls they volunteered that there are 2 in our lunch special and did I think that would be enough — that was perfect. Most places would rather take the extra revenue but I love that Chopstix would much rather have my repeat business! They also surprised me by saying they owed me a couple sodas with the lunch special… I hadn’t noticed that on the take out menu but it sure was appreciated when offered. The little things in life really do matter.
My favorite sales and service training guru, Jeffrey Gitomer has the best phrase for Chopstix: «People hate to be sold, but they love to buy!» I can’t wait to go back.
On an NPS scale of 0 to 10, Chopstix gets a very enthusiastic 10!

This place is FANTASTIC. Now only is the place extremely clean, the staff is extremely friend. They have a great reasonably priced menu. I love the lunch special and that you can get that for dinner for $ 2 more. The entire menu is delicious and amazing, I cannot say enough good things. I will continue to have my family and neighbors order from you. Keep the great food coming!

Food at this place is excellent. Crab Rangoon one of the best and HUGE! Portion sizes are very large and for the price it’s well worth it. Great carry out Chinese for a quick meal.

This place is a bargain! Very reasonably priced! There are typically great coupons in the menu.
This place has exceptionally fast service. I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for anything (typically only about 10 minutes after placing an order).
They gave me a free coke today for no reason! They are super nice here!
I love this place!

When I saw this place was going to open in town, my first thing was great, another Asian restaurant, just what we need in Arlington Heights.
Well my boys wanted food from a place two doors down yesterday and I stopped in here for some vegetable fried rice. A solid fried rice with really fresh ingredients and not buried in soy sauce.
Today the family decided to get take-​out from Chopstix and it was mixed reviews, though all positive. We ordered egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, steamed pot stickers, beef and broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken.
I don’t eat sweet and sour chicken, though the family really liked it. The boys and I really liked the beef an broccoli, though my wife didn’t care for the beef so much. Again nice fresh broccoli in the dish, really nice. The steamed pot stickers are the best we have gotten from any Asian restaurant in the area. The sauce they served with it had fresh garlic in it, nice flavor.
I had the hot and sour soup, it was okay. Again fresh ingredients, but it was over thickened (imo) which gave it to much of a gelatin texture, I think the egg drop may have been the same from what I could see. The boys enjoyed that and said they liked it.
All and all a good dinner, we surely will be back and I have already told some people at work about it. It will be interesting on how the food matures as the business grows. I hope they keep up the good work.
