Its relatively delicious for a fast food chain. I got the beef broccoli last night with extra veggies. It was really delicious and the portion was super fulfilling. My only complaint is that the put wayy to much dressing and the meat was a little chewy to my liking.

It’s my first time trying out this place. If you love Chinese or Thai food, this is place. The cashier Rubie was so nice, sweet, and helpful. Helped me pick out my food and suggested different things. The place was clean and there’s plenty of parking.

Order the honey crisp chicken but with the firecracker sauce to get all white meat with this spicy sauce. Third time ordering and third time out was great. Crispy and spicy. My new favorite dish!

I ordered the Mongolian beef, it was not good. They were very nice about it, switched it for the Orange chx.The egg rolls were decent but the sweet and sour sauce isnt good. Cream cheese wontons were good

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had actually. Took forever! Bad flavors! And they didn’t even cut the tails off my fried shrimp.

My wife and i went to pick up sticks for the first time, and we had such a great experience, thanks to Monique N.! We have dietary restrictions, and Monique went above and beyond by printing out the nutritional fact for us! She helped us customize our meal to enjoy, and the food was so delicious! Its a great amount of food for the price. We cant wait to go again!

Loved it especially the house flavored steak like teriyaki but on a whole nother level of delicious on top of white rice. The employees were super nice food was made fresh if you havent been there and you like Asian food do you have to try it

I order the HOUSE BEEF every week and I absolutely love it. But they have changed the recipe that is not very good at all. They no longer separate the rice and beef in different containers this way they can give you leas beef and charge $2 more. The beef is tough and rubbery and the flavor is less than the original. I will not be back

Ive been eating Pick Up Stix since I was kid back in San Diego. I only order the House Special Chicken and it never fails. Even 18+ years later. Had my son give it a try and now hes hooked.

This is the most terrible chow mein

Review №12

2019-04-04 01:37:01

This place I tried for the first time didnt know what to order until they recommend their best menu which is the firecracker shrimp they also have it three flavors with the combo chowmein which $1.00 extra But didnt want to pay extra so just got it with no combo. It actually tastes good with sauce that its covered in but wasnt spicy based on they said. I still enjoyed the food. The employees are generous and welcoming. So I might come back to order a another menu.

Get house chicken best flavor . Don’t order family entrees too small doesn’t feed the amount of people it claims

Review №14

2021-02-01 03:00:26

I used to love this location but for the past couple of months get turned away before I even order. The manager makes sure the cashier tells you 20/30 min wait as if they want people to turn away. Im not sure if management/staff changed but service nowadays sucks and matter of fact I know its new staff because I use to be in there so much they remembered me and I them. I dont recognize any of the faces now. They really need to fix it asap

Never disappointed when I come here. Food is made to order, staff are friendly and bring the order to your table. Resturant is clean and tables are wiped down. Has dining room & outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot and it doesnt hurt that Coldstones is next door. 😋 There should definitely be more locations!

I ordered chowmein and Bourbon chicken, and the chowmein tasted terrible like these people had thrown PICKUP STIX’s receipt for preparing it in trash can; and the BOURBON CHICKEN was burnt, hard, and without any sauce on it. I threw the entire meal into the trash disposal at my house after tasting it. Then, I immediately placed an order for chowmein and orange chicken with PF CHANG. The difference was UNBELIEVABLE. WOW!!!

You would have a hard time finding a better place to eat Chinese food. Ive got to Say this is has to be about the Cleanest restaurant with the best tasting food at a real reasonable price .I called in my order on Wednesday to a girl by the name of Christina she did not rush me and I did not know what I wanted Because I did not remember what my family ordered but I knew it was a platter and she walked me through it and I got the family platter with the crunchy orange chicken the kongpalbeef the noodles and fried rice a side of spring rolls pretty much everything for under 40.00 and that feeds four adults with no problem . One more thing it may be a little bit difficult to find because its tucked away in the corner of that small shopping center but other than that you will love it

Always tasty I would give 5 but I only got 2 shrimp in my house rice last night? But they have a brown rice option! Really tasty. Just not house rice without shrimp😔 it wouldve been better to put smaller shrimp than 2 for a serving that size.

This location has been remodeled in the past year so it has an updated look. The food is good and freshly made. Their online order process is a little iffy. They have not received 2 of the 4 online orders I placed with this location so you might want to think twice before using their online ordering system. Call in your order and then you will know that they have received it.

Love the remodel that was done. Food has always been very good, but prior to the remodel didnt really want to sit an eat there. The remodel makes it comfortable to sit and eat. Staff is always very pleasant and helpful.

Pick Up Stix is on the menu at my house at least once a week. Love their fresh food and if youre vegetarian they can make any of their entrees with tofu.

Not as good as Panda Express.Friendly staff, ordered at the counter for take out, Mongolian beef, teriyaki chicken, kung po chicken, chow mein, fried rice, white rice, veg spring rolls - for $50. 20 min wait.Theyve got a lot on the menu, but they dont seem to give each dish enough attention. The flavours were shallow, most dishes too much oil. But at least not too much soy.

I ordered crispy honey orange chicken and it was raw and wasnt crispy at all but soft and a little cold and dey thought i wouldnt noticed and i payed 12 dollars and da rice was cold and a little hard. Dey must not of had a good day. If u people want good chinese food stick with panda express becus i am, at least der food is cooked.

Every single time Ive gone to this pick up sticks they always get my order wrong today they gave me somebody elses order completely.... Horrible incompetent workers...

Review №27

2017-06-25 21:40:01

Every other Pick Up Stix Ive been to is utter garbage compared to this one. I like the food quality and the staff is always helpful. Orders take a while to get made, so it isnt a grab and go establishment.

Review №28

2018-10-10 16:35:47

First time trying & i wasnt that impressed. Id settle for panda express instead of this restaurant. Its cooked fresh when you order staff nice & friendly clean resturant but not all that great

The food looks amazing but OMG the staff is slow AF I waited for about 1 hour to get my food. All Im saying is that if there is 5 people inside expect to wait a looooong time.

Today I had ordered beef chow mein with shrimp and when I got home to eat the chow mein was not even cooked right I literally had to cook it! I Was disappointed cause I really like the food there so I don’t know what happened.

Pick Up Stix is a little pricy, but they often offer BOGO free w/drink coupons via email or in the Sunday paper. Hence, thats when I usually go here. Most of the food is really good!My usual suspects-House specialsBuddhas feast (with tofu for an additional cost)Garlic/Honey-glazed ChickenThe new Korean sesame sirloin noodle dish.Everything is wok-fired fresh & cooked in minutes.Stay away from the pad thai. It seems to be instant pad thai, and is a paltry facsimile to real pad thai.Customers have the option of white or brown rice. I usually go for brown because I never eat it otherwise. Its a nice change of pace. In my opinion, its as if rice & oatmeal had a baby. Thats the best I can describe it.The restaurant itself is usually pretty clean, has a nice decor and possesses ample seating indoors & outdoors. The decor is pretty chic, too.Dont forget to crack open your fortune cookie

All the Pick up Sticks restaurants use soy sauce made in China. That food is toxic and should be banned but they still sell it to make more money!
