Tried this spot shortly after moving to Reston. We started with Coconut Milk Chicken Soup, which is normally white, creamy, and filled with chicken and mushrooms. This variety was bright red with grease and mostly bulked by undercooked onions - very little chicken. I wound up leaving it uneaten after the first couple of wince-inducing bites. Alright, I thought, I guess they just do it differently here. Not great, but oh well. Then I tried my sushi - a Rainbow Roll, which is a mix of fish sashimi laid over small California rolls. Every bite tasted exactly the same--overwhelmingly of cucumber--because each roll was easily 80% cucumber. A tiny amount of crab, a tiny amount of rice, and the smallest slivers of fish I've ever seen served in any Chinese or Japanese format. I was pretty bummed by this experience and definitely won't be ordering again. The search for fine Asian cuisine in the Reston area continues... read more

coconut shrimp was the size of my pinky but breaded to be the size of a lemon. fried rice has no taste. very few onions. overall quality of the food was a 3 on a scale of 10 being great read more

I ordered General tso's chicken. It was average at best. The quality of food here is on a downward slope. I will not be ordering food here again. read more

The BEST Chinese take out in Herndon hands down! We really enjoyed! We ordered "safe" dishes (beef and broccoli with fried rice) just because it was our first time ordering Chinese in a while. It was good good! We've found our takeout spot read more

The dinner portions were okay, but the food is pricey and extremely bland. The Kung pao chicken had zero kick/spice. Plus it had a thick sauce covering it which threw off the flavor. The Mongolian beef was too chewy. The chicken in the chicken fried rice tasted like old boiled left over chicken. Pretty disappointing when your craving Chinese. Would not recommend. read more

put in online order and paid in full. when i arrived to pickup, they insisted that i hadn't paid yet. showed them restaurant receipt and credit card app and they still tried to take payment a second time. read more

Ordered triple delite in white sauce. It came with brown sauce. And the beef was inedible.

Excellent food and the delivery service has always been fast. My favorites tend to be their dinner specialties. Highly recommend.

It's not the world's greatest Chinese, but for takeout it's decent and reliable. The chicken with broccoli and spring rolls are good. Delivery is available through Seamless. If you pickup up, checkout their own website for coupons were you can get an item for free with a certain spend amount. Pupu platter is too greasy. Wonton soup could have more flavor. Very fast if picking up, almost always 10 minutes. read more

A few of us in the office ordered from Chopsticks via GrubHub. I ordered the Chicken with Vegetables lunch special ($6.99), so that is what I am basing my review on. The good/decent: -A lot of food in the lunch special for the price. -The food arrived on-time and hot, within 45 minutes or ordering. -The brown rice was perfectly cooked. -There was a good amount of chicken. The bad: -The springroll that comes with the lunch special is very pedestrian. There was about 1/2 T. of cabbage inside and nothing else. Mostly it is just the fried shell that makes up the springroll. -The carrots in my chicken and vegetable dish were raw. I love a little crunch to my steamed veggies, but I was not expecting raw carrots in my hot dish. -Was hoping for mushrooms in the mixed veggies. It contained the uncooked carrots, broccoli, water chestnuts and a few bamboo shoots. -The brown sauce on veggies and chicken was on the sweet side, versus being more savory. read more

Delicious food! Super clean restaurant. Staff was very attentive. Just passing through Reston and glad we stopped here. I read the reviews and they're positive and spot on. read more

I sit here at home, after drinking coffee, and now gargling alka seltzer to see can I get the effects of this restaurant off my palette. This place is horrible, Chinese & Japanese fusion that was better off separated. A sparse laid out restaurant, with the smallest sushi bar I've ever seen. I was ordering some Chinese food, and boy did it not go well. First, I ordered fried "Meat dumplings", the waiter told me it would take 15 minutes. Ok, I guess they might make them fresh... I also ordered general Tso chicken, (yes the white guy order). After about 10 minutes, the waiter and manager came to my table to tell me the chief burned my dumplings, and they wanted to give me the entree first.... grr, fine! So out comes my general Tso, it sucked, OMG tastes like one of those boil in the bag sauces poured on half cooked unflavored pop corn chicken, yuck. Then came my appetizer, the fried "meat dumplings", a) meat might be a bit of an over zealous description, b) it was obvious it was microwaved before frying, as it's nuclear hot juices burned my lips, while the rest of it was regular temperature. I've had bad before, and yes worse than this, but this does make my top 10 of crappy places to eat. Maybe a shot of Jamesons will kill the taste. read more

Stopped into chopsticks because it was convenient to my job and I was in the mood for sushi. The name says Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The gentleman who greeted us looked like the manger or owner; he was friendly. It was pretty dead in there. Everyone sitting down looked like an employee. They were folding napkins and organizing silverware. Maybe most of their business is in carry out?? I ordered a volcano roll and a sushi lunch special (hungry... Don't judge). The prices were moderate and the service was pretty quick. The flavor and presentation of the roles was adequate. Not the best sushi I've had; not the worst. I'd really rate them a 3.5 based off that I saw some reviews of folks who really love their Chinese carry out so I'll probably try that next time to see if it's more their speciality. And since they deliver, that'll be convenient when colder weather hits. Will update review at that time. read more

I just got back from here, but I want to wipe it from my memory. One of my coworkers was like, "Go to Chopsticks" after I said I wanted Chinese food. I'm re-evaluating our friendship, currently. The place looks a little run down. I ignored that. I was seated at a table. I ordered wonton soup. The soup has zero flavor and the wontons are kinda meh as well. Then, I ordered the lunch special sesame chicken and spring roll with white rice. It came out quickly. Ewwww. Just, ewwwwww! Everything is pre-cooked. So my Sesame Chicken was already cooked and just had sauce thrown on it when I ordered it. Yucko! So I sent it back, because it tasted old. I opted for the Hunan Chicken, which was marginally better. But all of it let me know that I won't be back here. At all. I don't give a damn if it IS fast. There's a reason for that. read more

Best Asian food in the area!!!!! Service is always amazing and the quality of the food is up to par every time we go. I highly recommend the kung pao chicken/vegetable and the chicken lo mein. Chopsticks is our go to restaurant and has been for a few years now and we are never disappointed when we we eat here. read more

Overall rating is more like 3.5 stars. When I initially pulled into the lot where Chopsticks was located I was quite hesitant and uncertain that I wanted any Chinese food anymore. However, I told myself two things, one was that I should never judge a book by it's cover and secondly that, this is the sole purpose of being a Yelper. To be able to explore all places that are outside the norm. Well let me just say that I'm glad that I didn't let the way the outside looked deter me away because I was quite surprised when I entered the establishment. To my surprise the place has a real mood relaxing ambiance to it, it sort of reminded me of Kumo Sushi. Now in "NO" way am I trying to say that this place is better than Kumo, but I do feel that the inside of Chopsticks does give me the impression that there are some similarities between the two places. I digressed a little now back to the Chopsticks review. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken lunch special which was served with my choice or fried or white rice and a spring roll. I got the General Tso's Chicken with white rice and spring roll for $6.29 + tax. I believe it came to be just under $7 which is quite reasonable. When I got back to work with my food, again to my surprise I removed the lid that covered my meal and the food was still nice and hot. Finally after finishing the meal I was absolutely pleased with it. The only gripe I had was that, the outer skin of the General Tso's was a tad bit hard. Thus my reason for giving it an overall rating of 3.5 stars. However, my Yelp rating is 4 stars because I am absolutely a fan and this place is by far one of the better Chinese food restaurants in the Herndon area. With all that being said, I will most definitely make this spot apart of my work lunch time rotation and will be coming back especially when I'm in the mood for Chinese food. read more

Chopsticks is a ritual with friend, April Y.! She introduced me to Chopsticks and she is a die-hard fan. I am really only able to comment on the vegetarian items and some of the shrimp dishes. The veggie friend rice is very good! The service is friendly and they never screw up the order. For veggies: they are a good take-out place with a decent veggie menu. I would recommend it for anyone looking for very good Chinese take-out with your meat-eating buddies. The tofu dishes are not too creative but the Garlic Eggplant has been a staple of mine. read more

First time trying Chopsticks and it did not disappoint! We had fried gyoza, chicken with mixed veggies and chicken lo mein. Everything was delicious!! I'd get any of these dishes again but also look forward to trying other dishes from their extensive menu. read more

I had Chopsticks for the first time tonight. I am not a fan. I did not eat in but chose to pick up. The food was ready very quickly, which was nice, but I fear it was because it was all precooked. I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and Beef with Broccoli. Each with an order of fried rice. The fried rice was simple white rice with soy sauce. No peas, carrots, onions, or anything other than rice. The sweet and sour chicken came with Carrots, Green bell peppers, and white onions. No pineapple. The sauce smelled like it was made with WAY too much vinegar. And it tasted about the same. The chicken was cooked fine but a little soggy. The beef was tender, and probably the best part of the meal. The broccoli with the beef was not cooked long enough and practically raw, however. It made the dish seem unbalanced. If you're looking for a good Chinese restaurant in Herndon, try Hunan East on John Milton Dr off Fox Mill Rd. Much better all around. I am not sure if I just experienced an off night for this restaurant but I won't be returning. read more

I LOVE Chopsticks, mostly because, they deliver to my house. What's better than delivery sushi? It's good sushi too. I recommend the Volcano Roll and the Godzilla Roll. The B2 Maki is pretty good as well, it's different. I love tuna/avocado rolls, they make it special for me and it's perfect. They have very good Chinese food as well. My 2 YO loves their chicken fried rice. read more

Chopsticks - Sushi platter from Chopsticks, DELIVERED! So awesome. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This place might get confused with the Chopstix in Great Falls but I decided to order from here on purpose. I had heard it recommended a few times from people on FB. After comparing prices, I saw I would get more food from here vs Chopstix GF so this won out. Alas, I must admit I really prefer the other Chopstix however. I ordered a Thai Fried Basil Rice that was red with the amount of spice. Plenty of food but hard to enjoy it unfortunately due to the heat of so much spice and hurts my tummy. The rice seemed a bit dry. I also ordered a large wonton soup that was a container of broth plus 5 small wonton noodles. 2 free spring rolls came with my order since it was $15+ but nothing worth increasing your order to get them. As far as the delivery service, it didn't take very long. I was caught off guard and maskless when I had requested contactless delivery. The driver rang the bell waiting and handed me the receipt to add more tip for him. I thought I had taken care of tip online already but perhaps it was deleted out by mistake before my order was processed. This place wasn't my fave I doubt I would pick this one again. read more

Anytime I'm at work and in the mood for shrimp fried rice this is my go to place. They are very good, and very inexpensive. I always get mine extra hot and its usually loaded with onion and shrimp. Just typing about it is making me salivate. A typical lunch special comes up to $6.01 (now that's a steal, for lunch near Reston). Super excited that they deliver, no-toll-roads-for-me!!! read more

Great food, quick service. Ordered on Grubhub and picked it up with 10-15 minutes. Food was delicious. I ordered the beef chowmein which was amazing and the Mongolian beef and my only comment is that it had way too much onion in it. Like the majority of the dish was onions with some pieces of beef. That's why I give it 4 stars and not 5. Other than that, will order from them again! read more

Very pleasantly surprised at this little restaurant. Was craving Chinese food and found this place. Had zero expectations when entering. Ordered the General Tso's lunch combo. Excellent portions and flavor. Quick and pleasant service as well. read more

Didn't find any of the food appealing. Came here with co workers and ended up trying the pad Thai.. BAD idea. My expectations weren't high but just thought it would at least taste like pad Thai. Noodles were way over cooked and it was dripping in a sour sauce? My co workers weren't too fond of their food either. Safe to say won't be coming back here. I had to get white rice since the sauce from the pad Thai was so overwhelming. read more

Chopsticks - My left over..... not sure who will eat it. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I have to say that I am surprised by the first review, too. It seems like there are a number of Chinese carry out places, and everyone has their favorites and their favorite style. I have gone to Chopsticks a few times, though. I find that this place stands out among Chinese carry out. I find the food to be very fresh, with nice crispy stir-fried vegetables that are bright in color. The sauces are flavorful but not overpoweringly salty. I thought it was fine, but maybe it is just the couple of things that I ordered. The owner and staff are very friendly. OK, so I went back and tried this place again over the last weekend, because the controversy was bugging me, and I ordered several different things, including one Sushi roll. I thought the Sushi rice was very flavorful, and decent Sushi, though not as good as the best Sushi restaurants, but what do you expect? I ordered a couple of the Chinese dishes. Seems like the stuff on their chef's specials were pretty good. I ordered Fish with black bean sauce, though, and the sauce was gloppy, overly salty, and overly oily. But, it satisfies and desire for grease and salt you might have. I still stand by the idea that this is a decent takeout Chinese place. Better than some surrounding establishments, and even some restaurants, but not the best of the best. read more

My family and I order from here often, and the food is consistent and good! We order the Vegetable Delight, Chicken in Garlic Sauce, Chicken and Vegetables, and Chicken Corn Soup. The spring rolls are ok. Service is good and efficient. They cook the food quickly and it's always available when we pick it up. read more

My husband and I have been going to Chopsticks since we moved to Herndon about 3 years ago. We were drawn to it because they had a variety of vegetarian options. We get spring rolls, miso soup, general tso tofu and the cucumber sushi. The food is consistently good which with my experiences at other chinese restaurants can be hard to find. They also have good lunch specials! read more

1 hour and 20 mins for delivery when I live within 10 mins from this place asked for extra spicy Tobacco is spicier then there spices. Had to heat up my food and soup crab Rangoon was more like cream cheeese crab gone. Spring rolls didn't taste fresh crispy outside cold inside read more

Ordered delivery for dinner last night with my boyfriend, and I have to say I'm actually pretty impressed with this place. I am a huge Chinese food skeptic, a little over a year ago I got food poisoning from my favorite place and have only eaten it once since then. We ordered from their website online, it was pretty well done although some of the things on the menu did not have a description and we were left wondering what they were. They would be wise to add descriptions to all of the menu items, we may have ended up ordering something else if we knew what it was. The food came within 45 minutes (not bad during dinner rush). Crab rangoons: pretty damn good! They were large and delicious, even better with a little duck sauce. General Tso chicken: I'm extremely picky about my General Tso, I hate it when the chicken comes out stringy. This was very well cooked, decent sized proportions and the sauce was delicious although I would have preferred a little more of it, I will just ask for extra next time! I got fried rice with my order and thought it tasted a little too much like regular white rice and had to add some soy sauce, but that is not to say it wasn't good. I like my fried rice with veggies and stuff in it so in hindsight I probably should have asked for shrimp fried rice or something. Broccoli and beef: My boyfriend prefers everything spicy so he asked them in the order form online to make it spicy, which they did, but it wasn't spicy enough for him. I tried some (the food itself was very delicious by the way!) and I thought it was the perfect amount of spicy. I can't eat a lot of spicy things but I could handle it without being too uncomfortable, so I liked it. I can actually eat his leftovers! We were very impressed and plan on coming back again. I think I may have found my new go-to for Chinese food! read more

Some of the best food. The service was great. Very friendly. Can't wait to come back. My husband loved the shrimp fried rice

My husband and I absolutely LOVE this little place!! We ordered the Crispy Jalapeño Rolls and they were out Of this world! Extremely spicy but soo flavorful!! The steamed dumplings are the best homemade dumplings everywhere - we ordered two orders!! My husband Tom Ka Gai and I ordered the Wonton soup! Perfect for a rainy day! Hands down the best little spot in Winchester!! read more

No stars if I could! this was the worst experience! Bugs in my salad?!! That only requires cleaning! This is sad. read more

See all

Terrible. Buh t all the chinese food in sterling is. Oh well. Not worth the money I spent.

Best in the area. Really good kung pao chicken.

Chopsticks is a middle of the road, quiet place to go for Chinese. The place is always empty when we go which is typically weekends for dinner. I am guessing they must do a bigger lunch business or take out. Their menu has sushi and some Thai selections in addition to typical Chinese. We have stayed with their Chinese selections. Pretty basic - this time I had the Triple Delight - shrimp, beef, chicken sauteed with vegetables in chef's special Hunan sauce. Beef and chicken were tender which isn't always the case with Chinese. Veggies were primarily broccoli with a few bamboo shoots and some carrots, baby corn and water chestnuts. The second dish we had was the Mongolian chicken. Chicken was tender but the sauce was too sweet and it was heavy on the onions and peppers. Not our favorite choice. We also always get spring rolls. They are always fresh and hot. In the past we have also tried the Chicken in Garlic Sauce and the MuShu Pork. Both were very good. The Sweet and Sour Chicken is pretty standard. read more

A group from our office are regular visitors to the Chop Sticks for lunch. The lunch specials are reasonably priced and the help is friendly. The food is always hot and quick. I tend to order the chicken or shrimp items with vegetables on the menu. We had one member who has been on a diet and they worked with him on gettting less or no rice, but instead gave him some additional vegetables - which worked out great. read more

The worst Chinese food we have ever eaten--no exaggeration. Tastes nothing like Chinese food, and was nearly flavorless. This restaurant used to have really good food, but they must be under new ownership. We are so disappointed, and a wee bit disgusted to have eaten such dismal food. read more

Great menu selection for Japanese, Thai or Chinese. All of the favorites! Tom yum soup has that great twang on the tongue from the kalifir lime .....spicy toned down. Thai basil is good too, as well as the pad Thai! Love the sashimi appetizer as a change up. Everything is good which is a great surprise! read more

I wish I could give this place no stars because it certainly doesn't deserve any . We ordered sesame chicken and fried rice . The rice tasted stale , it wasn't even Chinese fried rice .It had lumps of white rice with too much soy sauce ,no onions , no eggs , no peas . Seasme chicken was really not edible . It was chewy and the chicken didn't taste like good quality meat at all . It was dry and didn't come with any veggies .This was such a bad experience .I think for the price , you can get good quality Chinese food with flavorful ingredients some where else in the area . Please don't waste your $$ here . read more
