The front staff was super nice when I came in. It was my first time and the hospitality was certainly unexpected for what I'd expect from any other fast-casual restaurant. Order was prepared in about 5 minutes, well packaged, and handed over with a smile from Sharon. More than pleasantly surprised and the food was delicious when I enjoyed it at home. Chicken to breading ratio was great, crispy, and made with real white meat. Fried rice wasn't overly salty. Soup was nice and light, and the egg roll was not bland at all. And as odd as this may sound, the sweet and sour sauce was not diluted either! This place definitely took the top of my list as far as Chinese Fast-Casual. I was previously a long supporter of General Joes Chopstix on Westheimer, but their service and quality of food earned themselves a returning customer for sure. read more

Cafe Chopstix - Sweet and Sour Chicken Combination with an Egg roll, Wonton Soup, Fried Rice, and a Drink - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

5.1.26 We have not been here in quite a while. It was just as I remember it. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you. We ordered a manager's special. Entree, rice, soup, egg roll and a drink. The food was great, the portion size was quite large. (Beef and Broccoli) the beef was very tender and had great flavor. It was very clean inside and inviting. We would visit here more often but it is over an hour away. read more

Was having a pretty bad day, went in to pick up an order for my mother. Sharon asked me if I had enough sauce and was super nice. Did not know the order would be so large and Sharon asked to help me carry it to my car. Absolute heaven sent ANGEL and I left much happier then I came in. Will be coming back again, thank you Sharon! Much love. read more

This restaurant is essentially crazy good value for the money, without sacrificing much quality or flavor. If I would recommend anything it'd be the manager's special combo -- it comes with a ton of food and the options listed for the special are pretty varied. It's comparable to a Panda Express if you're trying to push away from the larger fast food chains. I think, though, the flavor is much better than what panda usually has... of course, though, it can be a very heavy meal so just watch out for that. read more

Cafe Chopstix - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place reminds me of a place I worked at in the 80's. It was called General Joes chopsticks, exact same menu, and flavor. This place will never let you down, generous portions for lunch, good quality food, flavor, can't go wrong with the house fried rice, the people up front are always prompt, and always willing to help. read more

I'm driving on 1-10 and I see this super small restaurant. Knew I had to try it! I ordered their curry chicken with fried rice. But honestly, it doesn't need rice at all. You can eat it straight up as is and it tastes similar to what Singapore noodles would taste like. They give you a portion size large enough to fee 3 adults. Perfect for meal prepping if your into that sort of thing! I split mine up into 3 separate meals! It's packed full of protein with an egg roll side. Love it!! The service was as if I was eating at a relative. Humble and very kind! You really feel like you're at home here. Will certainly return! read more

I went here 3 times this week and it was really good the first time then amazing the second time and on the 3rd go around food was out of this world good. I've never been to a place so consistent in my entire life. Also the customer service is top notch so incredibly good. 10/10 would recommend. It's the best Chinese food place I've found in Houston hands down. Won't go anywhere else. read more

Good food, fair price, and friendly staff. Glad I live close by for my weekly night off from cooking dinner

My family and I have been patrons of Cafe Chopstix over 15 years. Hu Shau Shien is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Cafe Chopstix has wonderful staff and if you enjoy Chinese food, this is the place. Generous portions and reasonable pricing. Paul B. read more

I frequent this little Chinese café every time I visit Houston. Everyone in my family has been coming here for years. The food is always fresh . They have been in this location for many years and you can always count on satisfying your Chinese cravings after you visit here. When you walk in, it is clean. They do have an area inside with several tables where you can sit inside and eat dinner comfortably. A lot of people come in and pick up their orders or have them delivered to them via the various delivery services, if they choose not to eat there. The menu is huge and there is so much to choose from! Several varieties under each category! They always have dinner specials that will include a complete meal with soup, entrée, rice, and an egg roll. They are located right off of Freeway and easy to get to. You can park right in front of the restaurant, easy in easy out. I can't say enough about the owner as she takes pride in her restaurant. She works there personally and is so appreciative of her customers., This place is always busy and busy means it's good! Im so glad it's nearby our home so we can run over there and cure our cravings at any time! Check it out! I'll leave the website for you right here so you can check out their menu. Go enjoy!

Cafe Chopstix - Food is ok Is not that great - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have visited this establishment off and on since 2014 and I was never disappointed, until 12/31/2024. I ordered pepper steak dinner,veggie fried rice, shrimp fried rice, general tso chicken, sweet and sour chicken for my family, all from The managers menu. ( I always ordered on that menu) I ate the general tso's dinner and later had stomach problem the entire night and the morning and this has NEVER happened before! I have noticed times I would visit and didn't see the friendly, older Chinese lady at the counter, so maybe they have changed management? but I am definitely sad they've changed. I use to drive out of my way for their food, but now you can't pay me to return. read more

Better than I expected! The presentation was great, the food was tasty, my lunch arrived to my table piping hot and the portions are big. They have a manager's special all day. It comes with an entree, rice (fried or steamed), soup (egg drop, wonton or hot 'n sour) plus an eggroll. The sesame chicken was tender and the sauce was very good. The eggrolls are great! They actually taste similar to Jack In The Box eggrolls - which I love! The space itself is a little bland. Some paper lanterns hang from the ceiling, but that's pretty much it for Asian decor. They have a soda machine with Coke products and lemonade. Tea and water are also available. I will definitely be back when it's cooler outside. I love Chinese food in the colder months. read more

Love this place! Such fresh tasting dishes made with care! Have never once been disappointed, and we've come here since the day it opened. Great people. read more

Food was delicious, fresh, super affordable and fast service. Best place for Chinese in Spring Branch.

Must have changed owner or something because it just isn't the same. Use to love this place. They are stingy you have to ask for soy sauce and they may give you 2. No sweetener without asking no lemon maybe one paper napkin when asked... bye!!!!To cheap and the food is bland!!!! read more

Spent $50 and literally threw everything away. So very greasy and flavor was horrible

Sometimes strip center restaurants can surprise you. Actually it isn't that much of a surprise often, they are not putting the money into high rent, but rather they can spend it on good food. I was very pleased with Cafe Chopstix, the food was quick and very good. The owner was very helpful with suggestions and politely asked us how things were ... you can tell she cares about her customers having a good experience. The Triple Spicy Chicken entree was excellent, and not a skimpy portion. I will be back, definitely a winner if you like Chinese food. They have the staples of normal American Chinese food, but also some additions that are not common, probably a bit more authentic. Highly recommend. read more

I was in the area running errands and decided to make a stop at the first restaurant I saw after leaving Joanns. The food was okay, I ordered the cashew chicken, the sauce was very thick and not that great, the hot and sour soup was missing flavor. The restaurant was very clean and so was the cashier. I decided to dine in, after a few minutes I decided to just take my food to go. The convenient thing is that the food is served in to go containers. If I decide to stop by I will choose something else from their menu to try. read more

First time at Cafe Chopstix, the menu and food is eerily similar to General Joe's Chopstix. Not sure if these restaurants were affiliated at any point. I will say while General Joe's has gone down significantly in food quality, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and preparation of Cafe Chopstix. Tried the wonton soup, chicken egg rolls, crab puffs, and triple spicy chicken. The chicken is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Only downside is the restaurant is closed on Sundays, which is typically my Chinese takeout night. read more

Pretty good for a quick bite for Chinese food! I got the combo with the drink and soup! Portions were big and they offered hot oil on the side when asked. Food was fresh and steaming. Due to Covid, they asked to please refrain from getting drink refills. As well, if you dine in, instead of eating from plates they will give you it in the to go containers. All in all solid Chinese food near memorial and will go in again read more

I come here ever so often to get lunch while at work. This place has consistently good food. Not 5 star good, but definitely a 4 for their triple spicy chicken and consitantly serving tasty fresh food. I highly recommend their triple spicy chicken. You get nice chunks of juicy spicy chicken with broccoli and steamed rice. Very tasty. Their sweet and sour pork, wonton soup, egg rolls and mixed veggies with chicken are also good. read more

Amazing FRIED RICE, and I'm picky about mine. Food was HOT! Not what I expected for being a strip mall center. Will be back again And food was HOT!!! read more

Amazing food, amazing service, & amazing people! Definitely a repeat spot from now on.

Fire it's good good portions good food good everything get now unless ur a loser who hates Chinese food

The triple spicy chicken is a staple for us almost on a weekly basis, and we love the hot and sour soup.

I've always recommended this Chinese restaurant to so many people I worked at this restaurant and I love the food and im not just saying that because before I worked there I would eat there almost daily every day it's better than Panda Express and other Chinese restaurants honestly it's way better 10/10 read more

Was not impressed with the meat quality. Did like how I could choose 2 entrees for a combo

Sooo goood! And portions are amazing. It taste so much better than other chinese restaurants

Great food. Portion size great. Great specials. Always a treat to come here. Sweet and sour pork my go to. If they have great sweet and sour pork the rest of the menu is excellent. read more

They have really exceptional veggie fried rice. I think this is my favorite fried rice- they make it with carrots, peas and eggs and that's it. I really do think it's the best. They also have awesome self-serve unsweetened iced tea. I really like it. A drink of your choice comes with the manager's special, which currently costs a little under $10. I also had some crab rangoons. An order of 3 is a little over $3. They come with sweet and sour sauce, and I think they are pretty good. I had the manager's special sesame chicken with fried rice. It came with an egg-roll and soup and a drink. I told then I didn't need the soup, so they offered to give me more rice, which was awesome. I wish more places would be so accommodating. I tried to ask for a veggie egg-roll instead of pork, and they offered me a chicken egg roll because they said they don't have veggie, even though it's on the menu. I stuck with the pork... I'm honestly not a big fan of egg rolls in general, and this one was pretty alright. It was a nice and crunchy egg roll. I wasn't a big fan of the sesame chicken, but don't mind me, because I think it tasted pretty standard, but the breading wasn't as crispy as I would like. It wa super soft. The chicken itself was white meat and soft and juicy. It comes surrounded with spicy red peppers, carrot slices and broccoli, so that's pretty cool. I've had the general tso chicken here before, and I think I like the taste of it a lot more than the sesame chicken. So if you can't decide between the two, I'd say go for general tso. read more

Cafe Chopstix has been a Spring Branch staple for more than 20 years. Linda, the owner, takes time to visit and check-in with guests whenever she is there. The employees are always friendly and personable as well. Hands down the best food!! Meals, fried rice and egg rolls are fantastic!! Their portions are more than enough and the Chef special gives you a little taste of it all. If you like great ambience, locally owned restaurants with amazing food; come check out Cafe Chopstix!! read more

Great place to eat Chinese. I have been coming here for years. The people inside are very nice and friendly. The food is always good.

I normally eat here during lunch but yesterday was my first time eating dinner here. I placed my order over the phone as a carry out. The lady was super patient and helpful. Told me 15 minutes and she definitely meant 15 minutes. The pro was the pepper steak. We requested extra onions and they were happy to give us all the onions they had. It was perfect and appreciated. The con was the beef noodles. I got that as my entree. I asked for spicy but it definitely wasn't spicy. The beef was hardly present because the noodles took over the entire dish. They were gummy and lacked taste. I definitely wouldn't order that again. I think I'll stick with my lunch visits. I recommend this place based on service alone. It's a little pricey but it's a good portion because I'm normally able to eat out of my lunch plate more than once. read more

Was not impressed with the food. The lunch menu was supposed to be $12.99 from what I seen online. Online it showed that it had Kung pow chicken on the lunch menu but when I got there They said that it wasn't on the menu and that if I wanted that it would be $14.99. I agreed and with tax it came to 17 something. The food came out fast, but it was barely warm and the wonton soup it came with had frozen wontons in it. They were stuck together and the Kung pow chicken I ordered had no flavor to it or heat. Instead of putting celery in it, they cut up broccoli stocks. Safe to say I won't be returning. read more

Ordered orange chicken, so crispy and so delicious. The fried rice on point. The broccoli beef is unforgettable. Just like the pork egg rolls they forgot to put in the bag that we paid for. And forget trying to find the phone number on thier website. No number to call to fix the issue when you live 15 miles away. Oh, and they have fried rice but not chicken fried rice?? read more
