Love the food options, great portions, fast delivery!! I got the orange tofu and chow mein and I loved it!!!

Typically, we order pickup from this restaurant and stick to the tofu dishes. We've tried all the flavors, but the Orange Chicken and General Tso's tofu are our favorites. We usually get noodles and rice, and the food always arrives hot and flavorful. Recently, we decided to try something different and placed a DoorDash order for chicken chow mein, rice, and egg flower soup. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The chicken chow mein had maybe two pieces of chicken, we didn't receive the rice at all, and the noodles were pretty bland. I've attached photos of what I ordered and what I actually received for comparison. While I'm still a fan of their vegan tofu dishes with vegetables and will continue ordering those, I can't recommend the meat and dairy options based on this experience. read more

Chopstick Express - What we though we were getting - Chinese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Ordered the House Lo Mein and Beef Broccoli. This place must've have changed hands because these 2 dishes were up to actual Chinese cooking style & not American Chinese style. I would seriously give this place another shot. The lo mein even had little"wok hei" which was sorely missing in the past, sauce wasn't salty, either. Beef was tender and the broccoli had a nice bite without it being raw or overcooked. Rice was cooked perfectly-not too hard or overcooked. read more

Overcharged our bill $7 and when confronted about it they made excuses that the prices on their menu hadn't been updated!!! Never going there again! We won't patron an establishment with no integrity! read more

I love the egg drop soup!!! It has become a favorite of mine. Everything in the menu that we have tried has been yummy. I've fallen in love with their soup. read more

Terrible experience. Ordered delivery, the driver took food to the wrong address and refused to correct it. I then contacted the delivery company that refused to refund our money and told us they would give us a $10.00 credit, valid only if I ordered from them again. You are only as good as your staff. read more

Huge improvement since last time I was here. Recipes have changed drastically since the last time I was here and prices have remained fair the whole time. Good, fast service and great value for what you get. read more

I ordered via GrubHub so naturally I wanted my shrimp to be crispy when it got to me. And let me tell you! They delivered!! I ordered the crispy thai shrimp with rice - extra crispy, sauce on the side and they did JUST THAT! Mind you, it's my first time ordering from them. I was a bit hesitant from the Yelp reviews but I'm glad I ordered from them. Will def be ordering from them again. read more

Amazing food and experience here! Met Simon, who is the owner, so nice and personable! Came in for lunch with my mom and we ate in. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. This is more of a take out restaurant, however, you can eat in. We are NYC natives who regularly visited authentic Asian restaurants in NYC. The food here is sooo good! It's hard to find great Asian food in AZ. Simon is doing it!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for years! I finally got around to it and I'm kicking myself for not having done it sooner. Tasty old school Chinese food, great portions and reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken fried rice (it was a buy one get one free) and General Tso's. Both were delicious! All the chicken was white meat and the General Tso's was not too sweet. I've been eyeing their chow mein and will be giving that a try next. Highly recommend it is you're looking for American style Chinese food. read more

I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. Extra crispy general tsos tofu is my go to! Fast service and always delicious. Don't sleep on this place. read more

Chopstick Express - Extra Crispy General Tso's Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I ordered a shrimp & veggie lunch combo with a spring roll & crab puff as well as a veggie plate with fried rice from Chopstick Express, wanting to give the nearby restaurant a try. Before I picked up my order, I took insulin because I'm a T1 diabetic & must have insulin before eating. Once I got home, I tried the spring roll - it was the only thing that tasted semi-fresh. But it wasn't good. The crab puff was old, hard, dark brown, not flaky & tasted as if fried in old oil. I couldn't eat the whole thing. I hoped the veggie plate or shrimp with veggies would be better, but the veggies were so soft because they'd been obviously overcooked & tasted like they'd been in the brown sauce for days. I'm used to Chinese food with veggies so fresh, they're still crunchy & have great color to them. Not these. These were SWIMMING in sauce & tasted old & bland. The fried rice was very darkly colored & I saw no egg, carrots or peas, as is traditional. What was worse though was the fact it simply tasted old & stale, again like it'd been fried in old oil. Regardless, I had to eat something so that I wouldn't drop to dangerously low sugar levels, so I ate the spring roll, what I could of the crab puff, & a couple bites each of veggies and rice. Literally ate just enough to ensure I didn't face low sugars. I called because I thought that $30 was worth it to see if I could get a refund & told the girl who answered the phone that I hated to complain, but nothing tasted fresh & it all tasted like it'd been sitting there for a long time. The girl said "well it's all premade but we haven't gotten complaints about it." No apology offered. And I just thought, was it "premade 3 days ago?!?" So I said, "sorry but I'm not going to eat this," so she told me to bring it back & that her manager may be able to do something. It felt odd to do, but I needed to run out for another errand that was on the way, so I brought the food back. The woman (obviously the owner) opened the boxes & told me "you ate this" (ummm don't you have to try something to know it's terrible?!?) and I said, "yes, I had to eat something to not drop low, but I only ate a few bites, you can tell." I even showed her my insulin pump. And she said "no, you ate half." God, do I wish I had taken pics of the containers before taking them back because there wasn't even a 1/4 of the food eaten, let alone half!!! I was SHOCKED!! I said, "I certainly didn't eat half, look at the container!" & she argued saying she filled it "extra full" herself & knew that I'd eaten "most" of it. There was food to every edge of these containers ppl! I would NEVER eat most of any food I purchased from a business & then return it to try to get my money back ! I worked in the restaurant industry for years! I even tipped like $5 on this pickup order! I said, "I don't know how you can call me a liar when clearly half this container isn't gone & regardless, I'm bringing back two boxes full of food." To which she said, "half of which you ate." I have NEVER been so flabbergasted in my life. I said "you're obviously not going to help me, I'll just dispute this charge on my card" and I left. Literally unreal. You'd be better off going to Panda Express or something. Or, better yet, for GOOD, FRESH Chinese, go to Golden Gate on Baseline & The 101. They have great, fresh food, an A health rating, & great customer service. Don't make the same mistake I did. Avoid Chopstick Express unless you like old food cooked in old oil & sauces & terrible customer service. Never again!!!!! Still reeling. Hope I don't get sick... read more

This is my local Chinese food spot. I usually grab takeout for dinner when I'm craving Chinese. Two little tables for indoor seating for dine-in, but most people just take it to go anyways. The service is always super quick and the food most always tastes great! I got one of their lunch specials and it wasn't as good as their dinner options, but I'll still be coming back. read more

I hope you all are doing well!! read more

Foods always fresh and out fast been going here for over 6 years never had one problem with my orders so far

Can't miss with the orange chicken. To me it's perfect. Tangy citrus flavors with a touch of sweet is divine. I love sweet & salty. Ordered online and my order was ready. Sometimes one has to wait but mind you the food is cooked to serve. Never had a problem with staff always courteous. Rangoons are some of the best I have had too. read more

I love this place I get it every time I am in town. The devils fried rice is amazing and they will make it with tofu.

Love this place! I moved out here from California about 15 years ago and have NEVER been able to find a place that does west coast style sweet and sour pork/chicken. Chopstick Express does! Love ordering from here any time I get homesick. read more

Awesome takoyaki! My roommate said the noodles and beef were tasty, the hibachi beef was a little lacking in the beef but otherwise accommodating my order for no rice+ extra veggies at no charge was awesome! Will eat from here again! read more

Ordered the beef/broccoli with fried rice- it smelled good in the car ride home but when I ate it the meat was VERY chewy. I called them to tell I was not satisfied and would like a refund. I would be willing to try something else on the menu if they can compromise. The lady I talked to was very rude and condescending. When I made the point I was not satisfied with my food she said "well we've never got complaints relating to the beef". So overall service: 1/5 food: 2/5 read more

Food was terrible!! The chicken wings tasted as if they had been reheated over and over again. The chicken in the lo-mein tasted the same, old. The fried shrimp was the worst. Do not waste your hard earned money here. read more

I have been eating their food for years. Quality, quantity, and service is great. I was an advisor in RVN and ate on the economy for a large portion of my meals, so I feel qualified to offer an opinion on Asian cuisine. I looked at some of the negative comments and felt an "ugly American" vibe in some of them. In short, I recommend them without reservation. read more

Amazing food and the service is absolutely amazing. They are so nice and very caring to their customer

I order here two to three times a week, they have really good tofu dishes. However, extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. I placed an online order and the delivery driver sent the incorrect order, nothing against the restaurant. However the workers took my personal information and have been texting me non stop. So unprofessional. I will never support them again. read more

Chopstick Express has whittled their way into my craving-Chinese-food heart. They are my favorite Chinese food takeout/delivery in Tempe because they are always pretty consistent. They didn't start out my favorite the first time, but I've had way more great food than disappointing food. Fast. Casual. Great for a Netflix Night takeout. Try the honey dipped chicken appetizer read more

Today (Monday) was going to be our first visit to your restaurant, but that didn't happen for a couple of reasons: 1. for not even being open when your hours on Yelp say that you are open 7 days a week ... 2. also for the sign on your window stating "masks required". Who does that after all of this time?? I think it goes without saying that our group will not be returning to sample your food ... read more

Everyone rating this place low are only complaining about service. The food is bomb. As long as you can pickup your food and are able to eat the food as described without modifications, you won't be disappointed. Go eat at Panda Express if you're gonna complain.. read more

The food is prepared fast and staff are friendly. It's good food for grabbing a take out or dine in.

We have eaten here twice from the vegetarian menu - 2 different tofu dishes and chow mein twice. The chow mein was very good but the tofu was overly salty. I do expect Chinese food to be salty but this was overly salty. The texture and flavor were great, just wish there was a way to reduce salt. The do have a nice selection for veggie and tofu lovers and the portion size is good. Suggestion - add a tofu dish with lots of veggies. read more

Since they changed owners this place has gone to crap. Service horrible, raised prices and they are not worried about customer just the bottom dollar. No customer service at all.
