I love Chinese food and was not disappointed with my meal. The service was great, everyone was just so nice and my food came out fairly quick. I ordered the sesame chicken with the fried rice and it was really good, not the best, but good. My only problem was the way they breaded the chicken. Like it was kind of mushy and it was falling off of the pieces of chicken due to the sauce and I had never experienced that before so it was very interesting. Other than that, I really loved it and my mom enjoy her beef fried rice as well. 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

Cafe Chopstix - Best Garlic Shrimp in town - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Our favorite place to get the best Hot & Sour Soup and General Joe's Chicken. Friendly competent service and pleasant atmosphere when eating in, although I wish the dining area was a bit bigger so the tables could be spread out a little. Great fried rice and crab puffs. My husband and I split the General Joe's Special and get an extra cup of Hot & Sour--perfect portion. This is one of Spring Branch's best! read more

As you can see it's been a while since I've been here, I have moved to the other side of town and I don't get over in the old Spring branch very often but when I do I typically try and plan a meal here. it was a late lunch and there was one other guy in there. I ordered the jalapeño shrimp special and as usual it was very good!!! The hot and sour soup always excellent, the fried rice very good and the eggroll crispy and moist in the middle as always. this time I did order extra soup an extra house special fried rice minus the chicken because I don't eat chicken unless I can raise it, feed it, harvest it, clean it and cook it. I've been that way since college when I was there pledge that got to go pick up the chicken for parents weekend. If you like chicken you don't wanna know... The one missing star is because I was surprised that everything comes in to go boxes, cups and flimsy plastic ware. But looking at the pictures that have been taken in the three years that I hadn't been by there it looks like they have gone to full to go gear regardless if you're taking it out or eating it there. I have not eaten out much during the pandemic in order not to get Covid and spread it to my older parents who I go and help on a regular basis. I have always enjoy eating in the restaurant because it is so relaxing and tranquil and I don't get much of that so I take it when I can get it. Another one of the reasons I like this place is I really like their chili oil / sauce but on this visit there wasn't much oil in it and there were so much chili that it was a little dry and just not quite as enjoyable. But because I had so much to take home and eat for the next few days I went and asked for another chili oil/ sauce for the to go food. And I was charged for the little cup of extra chili oil/ sauce which I was not expecting for as long as I had been coming here they had never tried to charge me for extra condiments. I understand the pandemic has changed everything from smaller portions but higher prices seem to be the order of the day in most of the restaurants here in Houston. And restaurants are not the only businesses out there trying to pull the shrink economics on us. Manny started doing it way long before the pandemic and as a society we have just accepted it and moved forward. And I believe it's our own fault as a society we have gotten complacent and we just take whatever anybody is willing to give us. I think this needs to change.... I think we need to expect what we see on the menu and on their advertisements, in my opinion it's just the old bait and switch and I for one will not patronize businesses that follow that program. That's just me on my soapbox, Café Chopstix has not done this and they didn't do it this visit...mtheir food was as good as always and don't let my sour attitude towards the majority of restaurants and businesses out there Who are using the pandemic in order to increase their profit or make up for what they lost during the pandemic... For great food I highly recommend Café Chopstix, and I will be back whenever I get close but I will probably get it to go and take it home and eat it. But that's just me... Bon appétit read more

Really good hot and sour soup great portions and very reasonably priced for a good fresh food. I don't hesitate ordering from cafe chopstix

Very good Chinese food been going here for years and never been disappointed good food with big portions portions there always clean and have very friendly staff and a really nice owner who makes my visits very enjoyable. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Chinese food at very reasonable prices. read more

I ordered the lo mein and hot and sour soup. I thought the lo mein was okay. It is very dry in my opinion. It's a huge portion which is way too much for little ol me, but it's sharable for at least 4 or 5 people. The soup was okay also. read more

Cafe Chopstix - Lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fried Rice is really tasty, but General Tso Chicken not so much. Chicken was not fresh, very dry, very chewy. I couldve gotten the same experience with a frozen chinese meal. Egg rolls are nothing special but decent. read more

Best LoMein in Houston! I get the BBQ pork but I like the others too. I haven't tried anything else cause I like it so much, but I recommend because it's better than your average Chinese takeout! read more

Score, another awesome Chinese place in this area. I ordered the Triple Spicy Chicken entree. If you're a foodie and not into getting overstuffed at lunch, I suggest skipping the Manager Combo which comes with soup and drink and just get the lunch entree. Check out the picture I uploaded. Yes it tasted as good as it looks. Nice and dry, not saucy, good level of spice and delicious savory chicken cooked right and presented nicely. They serve the rice in a separate bowl so you can easily skip what you don't want and eat light but delicious. The broccoli not doused in sauce is a great texture complement to the meal and I like the raw diced onions which I haven't seen in a Chinese restaurant before. Perhaps they've taken influence from Tex-Mex / Mexican places where you get those on top of enchiladas? Only wish I had was a bit more spice on the chicken. Service is efficient and friendly as well. Highly recommended! read more

Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Solid fried rice and the dumplings will be ordered every time I order there. Highest recommendations read more

I'm pretty such I had an allergic reaction to the dressing on the Oriental Chicken salad. I had called several times to ask what was in an they refused to tell me. I even spoke to the manager and she refused. I am very disappointed. read more

I ordered Cafe Chopstix to go for the first tome yesterday (new to the area) and I knew it was going to be great before I picked it up. They were so nice over the phone and explained each menu item to us. One big plus here is they use really tasty, white meat chicken in their dishes. I was very happy with the pork dumplings, sesame chicken, and hot and sour soup. This is definitely our new go-to for Chinese. read more

Great food! Highly recommend. We ordered take out and it was ready in 10 minutes and served fresh and hot. The orange chicken is delicious!

This place is super tasty but the service its just not it. I had a very sad inconvenience with the manager. I usually go very often and yesterday I had order 2 sesame chicken and they gave me the wrong order. I called to try to get it change and the owner is just a really rude person. Only if you're white she would treat you right ! Every white person that walks in she drops everything to help them out. If you're any other color she wont talk to you or say say "hi " unless if you're q regular. Very sad because I used to enjoy eating there. But never again am I going back. read more

Plenty of rice and curry chicken was spicy and full of veggies and some chicken. Props to management. Would say this is a good Americanized Chinese restaurant well above Panda Express or pei wei but not like Chinatown. I would have given a 4 stars but the grease in the dish demoted my rating to 3 stars read more

I went in last week for lunch first time here I paid $14 and change for the "special" I counted 4 shrimp in total! It wasn't spicy at all either . Egg drop soup was WATERED DOWN had zero chicken flavor tasted like water I mean look how clear it is! No refills on your tiny drink due to covid oh please never mind it's self served so either way we're touching the machine this is their way of being cheap and tight. Will not be coming back. I basically paid $14 for vegetables and a little bit of fried rice. Save your money go elsewhere read more

They make almost all the food to order...which means it's ALWAYS quality. You will never be disappointed with the flavor and overall appeal of your meal. Very nice family. Do everyone a favor and call in an order to pick up. The portions are the same for take out I have recomend all my friends and family read more

We ordered the manager's special. General TSOs spicy chicken and Hunan Beef. It was really good and good portion..xame with chicken eng6g drop soup, drinks and egg roll. The employees are very courteous. They provided excellent service. The tables were being cleaned out right away. The whole place including the restroom area is very clean.. It would been really nice if there was a hand sanitizer. For both cleaniness and good quick chinese food, this is place to try out. read more

Nice, clean place, I chose to eat in... steady stream of people eating in and picking up take out. Employees very pleasant. Food was fast, fresh, and tasty. This Chinese food did not make me feel like a balloon halfway through, which tells me a lot about the ingredients. I will be back again when I'm in the area read more

The food is always more than I can eat and spot on. They have a great lunch special and have al lot of regulars.

Veryyyyyy good food for reasonable prices. I've been searching for a Chinese place and finally found it. I got the general tso chicken (my go to meal) and my gf got house special fried rice.. then chicken was perfect! Not to sweet, a good crunch and decent sized(not to big not to small) the fried rice was just as good, good flavor, and lots of meat in it.... there crab puffs weren't bad or maybe I'm just not a fan of crab puffs and we also got their lo mein on another occasion.. I thought it was DELICIOUS! It came wit noodles at bottom and meat and gravy on top of it so you'd mix it yourself (idk if all comes like this but mine did) it was perfect.. maybe could've used a tad bit of sweetness (I used duck sauce to give it that) but other than that perfect!! Great Chinese spot and they've got themselves a new customer and I'll recommend any day to anyone read more

Still going here for years now. Food is great and fair price. But there's always room for improvement. One, IDK about other customers but when I call in order, years now, I'm always asked if I know where they are located. It's annoying to be asked that. I'm on their records and they still think I'm a new customer. Whenever I give the order, just repeat it once please. I don't need to hear it 3 or 4 times. If the food it too hot, it melts into the styrofoam...not good at all. Maybe investment in paying by phone register may should be looked into. Again, this is room for improvement outside of the great food. I'm not complaining (alot) or downgrading the stars just want to see it do better. read more

Good food and service. For appetizers, the chicken egg rolls were our favorite & the wings were good too. It was 4 of us and we ordered the Generals tso chicken, Kung pao chicken, sesame chicken and the spicy chili shrimp entree. They were all good along with veggie fried rice. read more

Suburb portion sizes! They have the "Manager's Special" menu w/all the basic choices and each entree is accompanied w/a soup and egg roll. If the soup doesn't suit you, there's an option to get either more rice or more "meat of your choice," which is always wonderful. read more

I've been craving chicken fried rice for awhile now and happened to drive by this place. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. They gave me ALOT of rice for $7.89. I ordered it to go and it didn't take any longer than 6-7 minutes to come out. The rice does not disappoint. Will def come back to try other dishes as well. read more

Good food, very pleasant staff. I haven't eaten in but have gotten takeout here twice so far. Definitely will do it again

Great service and really good food. The owner and staff are so friendly and accomodating. The food is always very fresh, tasty and a great value. My favorites are the oriental chicken salad, manager special kung pao chicken or general tso chicken. read more

I dropped by during lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Short and sweet review: Very good Chinese, actually better than most Chinese takeout standbys. The service though is something that really stood out to me. The two women working the counter were really personable and made every person feel welcome. Will be back and definitely suggest a drop in if you're craving Chinese and in the neighborhood. read more

Omg. I had eaten here about one year ago. The food was fresh. My optometrist is in the strip mall. She's been my eye doctor for over 25 years and I travel to Houston from Sugarland to see her because she is the best. At any rate, I went by to pick up some contact lenses samples and decided to eat here since traffic was so bad. I ordered the manager's special with chicken and vegetables. Okay. I tried I bite. I spit it out. Tried another. I spit it out. Tried a third different bite. I spit it out. The food was chewy and rancid. I immediately picked up the entire entree and requested my money back. The owner said it was fresh. I told her to eat my sample. She declined. She argued with me incessantly. I couldn't believe it. The food was rotten. I'm not sure if they think customers are idiots eating old food that is re heated. By the way, the restaurant was empty. No customers. You have bad food and an arrogant manager who says the food is fresh. Didn't get credit for 10.00. read more

THIS IS NOT CHINESE FOOD, not even close. I ordered the kung pao chicken and chicken lo mein since i make these dishes at home (no, I'm not chinese, but i do my research before making dishes). The kung pao chicken; where is the taste of chinese black vinegar, dark soy sauce, sichuan daobanjiang and sichuan peppercorns?; the chicken lo mein; where is the taste of dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and seasme oil? This place was a waste of time and money (it's not expensive though) as i hate to pay for subpar food. The service was good/pleasant and the place was decently clean but that is about it. read more

I am still obsessed with this place. And yes, I still order the triple spicy chicken every time I go. I come here a little too often that the owner and some of her staff know my order and my family. The owner is the sweetest woman. She makes this place fantastic. read more

Okay. So I'm bummed. The reviews were raving. But my tastebuds were not. Tried the triple spicy chicken. I think they missed the whole spice concept. The flavour was lacking too! It was like eating dried out cubed chicken with extra dry rice. Maybe that's what y'all consider "delicious" and "amazing" but then clearly you've never had good or even halfway decent oriental foods. It's a dry dish to start off with, as in there's no sauces involved what so ever, but even then the chicken itself was dried out to the bite. I bit into a piece thinking it'd be moist inside. Boy was I wrong. It was chewy and tasteless. The only flavour I got was from the raw onions on top. Highly disappointed in the food. Only got two starts due to the insanely nice and adorable lady working the counter. She was so sweet I didn't have the heart to tell her k didn't like her recommendation :-/ #myownfail #shouldhavestucktokungpao I will be back to try their Kung Pao as all of you know I'm a sucker for that dish anywhere. However, I too do have standards, people! Till next time! xoxo read more

The food is probably two stars. It's like a typical Chinese-American place. The hot and sour soup is not sour enough for an Asian. The triple spicy chicken was pretty good, but really only mediocre spicy. And the chicken ho-feng (flat rice noodles) had one pepper next to it, but was actually pretty spicy. The place is nice and clean though, and the service is friendly. read more

Cafe Chopstix has become a go-to place for us simply because of their Chinese Chicken Salad. Those of you who frequent General Joe's Chopstix will recognize it as a knock-off of the General Joe's Salad but Cafe Chopstix now has the superior salad. Part of it is Joe's going downhill and part of it is subtle differences for which I prefer Cafe's method. The salad is quite simple. Chopped Iceberg lettuce, almond slivers, shredded chicken breast, rice crisps and a tangy special dressing. Combine all these innocuous ingredients and the result is wonderful. It's a great collection of textures and flavor. So what puts this version of the salad over the top? The way the lettuce is cut, the way the almonds are sliced instead of chopped, the perfect tanginess of the dressing, and last but not least, the availability of grated ginger and jalepeno in oil. Joe's doesn't have them anymore, and that's a shame. Mix these into the dressing, and pour it over the salad for a little slice of heaven. read more
