No taste for the food at all the first time I preferred was average , now it's worse I don't recommend it read more

Had the shrimp and scallops in garlic sauce. Spouse had the mu shu chicken. Huge portions and very very good. 15 minutes from order to pick- up. Food was hot, excellently packaged. This is our go to place for Chinese take- out. read more

It's terrible very terrible. They got our order wrong an wouldn't let us get a refund or switch I'm not surprised though the food was trashy

I really like this place! They are close to my office so I come here often. The service is great, and they are quick with getting orders out. I always order the hot and sour soup and the hunan shrimp. Their hot and sour soup is delicious. It has the right color, consistency, ingredients, and taste, compared to other places that will serve water down soup with mostly tofu. They use real large sized shrimps in their hunan. I think this is important bc some places will use frozen baby shrimp which just taste awful. The lunch specials are good, and everything is reasonable priced. read more

It's Saturday night, my mom doesn't feel like cooking, and my boyfriend wants Chinese. We debated for a really long time on where to go before we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is pretty small, and it became apparent as we ate that the majority of their business comes from people ordering take out. We each started off with spring rolls and egg rolls. These were good. However, they were small and only one came per order (again, our usual place gives us two bigger ones for the same price). But they were good, nonetheless. For dinner, I stuck by my Chicken Lo Mein (much to my mother's amusement) and was actually struck by how good it was. The chicken was tender and cooked exactly how I like it. There also was a very good meat to noodles to vegetables ratio. A lot of places go cheap and give you way too many vegetables, or not enough noodles. Or just not enough. I somehow finished my entire plate. It was shameful, but it was that good. The boyfriend got General Tso's and it was good. But it's much different from anywhere else we've been because of how spicy it is. A lot of places advertise the dish as being spicy, but I have come across very few that have actually been so. We think it's because most places give you the hot peppers separately and this place looks like they cook it right into the sauce. Overall, this place was very good. A lot better than I was expecting. read more

Im not sure this place is even legit. First strike was a phone order. I was told 20 min. I arrived about 25 min after placing the order and my food was not ready. Not one person was in the "restaurant" (bunch of Wal-Mart tables filled with employees children and bags of food from grocery store). Took about an hour in total. When I got the food, it was mediocre at best. Second occasion was a walk in order. Again, took close to 40 min for General Tso and some soup. I also dared to try the "sushi". WORSE taste ever. Old, gummy nasty fish. Hami Sushi in Herndon is 100 times better. The people taking orders dont speak English well and get angry at the CUSTOMER when you order Hot and Sour Soup and get Won-Ton. Yes, because those two ALMOST sound the same. Avoid. Some many other options than this hole in the wall dump. read more

Food was good and presented well. I had a sushi platter and hot tea. Miso soup was ok and salad though fresh had really large lettuce leaves. They had a couple of regulars come through while I was there and the staff was very engaged with them. I'd return here to try again. read more

This is an awesome Chinese place to order from and has been my favorite in the area for years, they're very consistent and have plenty of choices however if you want to be happy with your food I do recommend sticking to what you know and usually order when you get Chinese food, since the classics are what they do best. My personal favorites are the chicken and broccoli, dumplings (order them fried!), and the hunan shrimp or chicken. The sushi is also great, it's not as elaborate and fancy looking as other places but it's fresh and delicious whenever I get it and it's definitely worth a shot. I can't speak for how busy they are in the restaurant, since I usually have it delivered but it hasn't been too crowded whenever I've eaten there. read more

Just ordered takeout from Chopsticks, our go-to Chinese/Japanese/Thai takeout place that have been consistent and super friendly. Their consistent quality and reliable service is something that we want to give them kudos for. Food - Great All the Japanese rolls are delicious with great varieties. The pad Thai is flavorful and the Singaporean fried noodles, Shrimp and walnuts, eggplants are our favorites. I particularly like the scallion pancake and fried chicken wings on the appetizer menu. Service - Great Great friendly staff who always know your order. We order delivery as much as takeout with reasonable wait time - they always bring you water or tea while you wait, and we chat about what's on the news. They make a point to know your likes and preferences, and always makes sure any particular dish is not too spicy (or vis versa). After awhile we tend to order from them more because we know they won't mess it up, and that if we ask they would provide the right recommendation. read more

This is the best place for Chinese in the Herndon area. I love the quality of the food and the service is excellent. They have a very robust menu selection of many Asian dishes ( even sushi !!) If I were to have any cons against this place, it would have to be the lack of originality in their menu. If you like Asian cuisine then you have probably had all the dishes on the menu. If they can create a signature dish that's special to just this place, I could easily give them 5 stars. + Good quality Asian food + Same low prices as other Chinese takeout places + Lots of options on the menu - No originality or signature dishes read more

Tried Chopsticks for the first time and it was excellent all around. Online order was easy and when I arrived and called from outside they brought the food right to my car. I haven't had Chinese food for a long time and it all was excellent. We got a bunch of different items for the family to try many items and I particularly liked the chicken with mixed vegetables, Mongolian beef, and Singapore rice noodles. All the meats and chicken seemed very good and not fatty, and the food was flavorful. Thanks for a great meal (actually had enough for leftovers so enjoyed for two days!) read more

Consistently good Chinese food! This is my go-to whenever I'm in the mood. Their delivery is typically pretty fast - one time my order came 20 minutes later! Favs: Sesame chicken Sweet and Sour chicken Fried donuts:) read more

the manager cursed at us when we didnt agree because the server over charged us 16 dollars. then he lied and said the owner wasnt here when we had just spoke to him 2 seconds before. the server upcharge us without even telling us and then told us it was for our own benefit. after getting the orders wrong they didnt listen to any of my family only the white one. terrible and racist establishment read more

No authentic flavor. Beef has a dewy flour coating. Not sure if there is msg. But not enjoyable at all.

I had read that this was "one of the best Asian restaurants in northern Virginia" so we strayed from our go to and tried it. We were very disappointed. This is really quite standard fare of Americanized Chinese With odd aftertastes. We only tried the Chinese food so perhaps the Japanese and Thai food is better? I should have been suspicious when Ariake was not on that list... read more

Got takeout from here and it was good. The food was fresh and hot. The broccoli was cooked well, the fried rice could have used more flavor. Overall it was okay. read more

I ordered a lunch online. Sesame Chicken and an order of rice. The staff are efficient and courteous, and the wait is not long for your online food order to be prepared. The restaurant's Website did not state that steamed rice is included with the order so I thought that I should purchase it separately which I did. In fact, rice is included with the lunch so the extra rice that I purchased was not eaten ... a waste. That's minor compared to the real problem. The Website allows you to check off "NO SUGAR" which I did. This was apparently ignored or not noticed by the cooks. The sesame chicken is overwhelmingly sweet plus including a sauce that is nothing but sweet. This is mid-west Chinese food, the kind that every small town in the hinterlands has. Plenty of sugar for what is perceived as American taste for sweets. There are REAL Chinese restaurants in the greater DC area. I recommend that you order your food from one of those. I will next time. read more

very nice. my food hasn't got here yet but I've had it before. would recomend veggieFried RiceSpring Rolls

This place is small and dark, carryout / restaurant. Also, they have a small Sushi Bar. Why would you want to order Sushi from a Chinese Carryout place? Overall the dishes were satisfied my hunger. They were presentable and very clean looking . Actually they were good comparing to other Chinese carryout places in Herndon area. We ordered: 1) Walnut Shrimp - Fried JUMBO SHRIMP covered in creamy brown sauce and walnut on the side. My first impression of this dish was wow! They actually have JUMBO SHRIMP hahha... I love the sweet caramelized sauce, but still, I wish they had the traditional one with creamy white sauce. 2) Hunan Chicken - Stir fry white chicken meat, mix veggies in brown sauce. The brown sauce was okay, I wish it was a little spicier. 3) General Tsao's chicken - Sweet and Spicy sauce deep fried chicken, it was good. 4) FREE Chicken fried rice (if you order over $25, you can get FREE fried rice. YOU MUST ASK FOR IT.) I have no complaint about this dish since it was free. Hahha..... (But my fried rice is better =P.) I will come back to this place for some carryout and definitely not my everyday to go place. read more

There are some overly negative reviews for Chopsticks, so I'm bumping up my rating a bit to even things out. Chopsticks is solid but not amazing. A really great go to delivery option. I've had good luck sticking mostly with the Chinese items on the menu. Very good price and always fast delivery. read more

I went to this place tonite. we called ahead and still had to wait about 20-30 minutes which was fine since the business was busy at that time. I and people (total 7) were seated but we got the corner seat which only had one fire plate. Each long table had two fire plates approximately five people could fit in for one plate. We asked whether we can occupy the whole table and use two fire plates since we were 7. The manager came and asked ' I didn't think seven people would need two fire plates. That did not sound friendly and what really made us pissed off is that prior to our (7 people) group, a party of five people was seated on one fire plate and the server asked us to wait since you guys are seven people which would need two fire plates. The attitude of the server and manger was just awful and we just came out. I do not know how their food tastes like but their customer service just sucks. I would never visit this place again. read more

For cheap, easy, and GOOD Asian food; this is definitely the place. And hot damn, their delivery service is fast, fast, fast!

Ugh! My office treated employees to lunch today and we ordered from Chopsticks. My Singapore noodles were bone dry and lacked of taste. Some of the noodles were not even coated with seasoning. Shiu Mai appetizer had a mystery sea-food like flavor that reminds me of frozen sea-food dumpling from a ethnic grocery store. My co-workers had dishes that were super bland. They were lemon-grass chicken and chicken brocoli, I believe. The sushi/California rolls were OK. The only edibly decent food was fried chicken wings appetizer. Needless to say, we threw away the menu and most of our food. Seriously. Asian Fusion here seems to mean Asian Confusion, as the cook didn't seem to know what the hell he/she was making. I don't usually give such a negative review but this really was the pit. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for 8 years or so and I love this place! The food is good and they know my friends and I as regulars which is always a bonus! I normally get a chicken like chicken and broccoli dish but I also love their sushi and vegetarian dishes (specifically the uno avo roll and the general tso tofu)! read more

This is one of my favorite Asian carryout places. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. The Chinese/Japanese fusion works great for me. Sushi alone does not fill me up. I prefer to order a small entree and roll or two of sushi. The problem is - most sushi restaurants do not offer many alternatives. Many times, the only alternative is beef teriyaki or chicken teriyaki. It usually costs $15-$20 and tastes like card board. Chopsticks offers a large menu - with pork, chicken, seafood, beef, and vegetarian options. My only complaint is the crazy patrons from the nearby Sphinx Kabob restaurant. read more

Arrived during non-peak hour of 4:30 PM on a weekday. Ordered beef chow fun and a spider roll for about $20. The spider roll was crispy and the rice was perfect. Chow fun wasn't drowned in black bean sauce and had a nice spice to it. Excellent service and food on this visit. Next time I'll try the western food (General Tso Chicken). http://i39.tinypic.com/n4v72h.jpg (spider roll) http://i42.tinypic.com/jheyh5.jpg (beef chow fun) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Arrived at 2:00PM on a weekday. Ordered General Tso Chicken to go, which cost less than $7. It was very hot, no excessive batter, and not drowned in the overpowering sauce. Very nice flavor, texture, and volume. The rice was a bit dry and borderline old. http://i40.tinypic.com/35m05za.jpg (general tso chicken) read more

Walked in grabbed a menu to see what we wanted to go. My boyfriend and I stood there at the hostess stand and witnessed the workers towards the back of the resturaunt going through each others hair like apes. I went to the bathroom and went back to the front to meet my boyfriend and then we left. We were soo disgusted. read more

Ordered a home delivery . Food reached on time . But the food tasted so bland . Almost no seasoning on food. Ordered general chicken and got orange chicken!!! Found egg shells on the fried rice. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

I called after I checked into my hotel late Sunday night. They were closing in 15 minutes but delivered past closing which I thought was amazing. Second the food was so good. I had the potstickers and chicken lo mein and both were great. I would definitely recommend and order here again. read more

Low quality food, decent price, owned by Chinese people. Menu has Thai, Japanese, and Chinese. I've gotten sushi and drunken noodles here. They both tasted really bad. Waitress were mopping the floor right by where we were dining-in. Won't be back for sure. read more

The co-workers swear by this place. Whenever we have a meeting with food and order anything other than Italian, it's from here. Sorry, just not sold yet. I don't know if I ever will be. Their sushi isn't too bad but the rest of the menu isn't too awesome. We shall see... read more

This is my source to satisfy my sushi fix. I love that they deliver and I can also get a combination of Sushi and chinese food. Yummy!

Really nice inside which I didn't expect from the outside. Friendly fast service and great selection of vegetarian dishes both chinese and japanese. Food was fresh and tasty. read more

I love the lunch specials, and the General Tso's chicken is out of this world. Very HUGE!!

This restaurant delivers great food! I absolutely love the mango shrimp and vegetarian dishes. The hot and sour soup is devine and the sushi has always been delightful! read more

Having recently moved to Reston I asked a few friends where to eat some good Chinese food near my place. Trusty Leon says Chop Sticks is good so I gave it a shot. Leon is no longer trusty. Dumplings, Generals Chicken, and the B&B were all bad. We both stopped eating after a few bites. Seriously, if this is good Chinese for Reston I will just drive back to Arlington or DC to eat. read more

Wow, was that good. And unexpected. I just sampled a variety of lunch specials delivered from the Chopsticks on Spring Street. You just don't expect quality at this price. First, the meal was delivered in the blink of an eye. I'm not kidding. After giving the credit card details over the phone. I went to the garage door to wait; and the meals were delivered that instant (2.02 miles). The way it works with online ordering through Chopsticks. You don't have the option of inputting straight credit card data online. They call you back and you give them the cc details. The fried donuts and the Lo mein came in styrofoam containers. The spring rolls in a separate bag. Everything else came in reheatable plastic containers. Perfect for the office! You can reheat what's left later in the day. You can take it home and reheat it. I have one of the containers standing on its side in a large styrofoam thermos behind me. No runs, no drips, no errors. The whole shebang came in a large hard cardboard container. I'm used to the plastic bags with all the contents moving around. I got napkins, plastic forks, a styrofoam dish. The shrimp, the meat, the celery, the broccoli, the peppers and onions were first rate. The beef was soft. They put the rice in a separate plastic compartment. The rice doesn't intermingle with the main dish. At all. The fried donuts were a real surprise. The donuts came hot. They tasted just as good as the sugared donuts from the donut shop. The white rice, fried rice and spring roll filling are plain - no meat, egg, etc . The celery and broccoli may or may not come well marinated. The Pork Lo mein, Pepper Steak, General Tso's/Kung Po Beef, and Triple Delight were fine. The sesame chicken was only so-so. They didn't use white meat. The Kung Pao and General Tso's chicken came mild. Like I asked for. The soda came cold. Something you don't think about. Till it comes warm :) Frankly, for the last several years I've received spotty quality from a number of area delivery services. Usually the first meal would come near perfect:) Then not so :( Lately, food delivery in Herndon/Reston/Oak Hill has really picked up its game. I hope the next order from Chopsticks holds up. read more

Love this place - I've ordered online (yes, this place lets you order online AND use PayPal - niiiice) about three or four times and each time it's been delicious and not a long wait. Very nice folks who work there. I recommend the chicken and broccoli! read more

Great staff, very quick and friendly. We just discovered it and have been there twice now. We leave fully and happy every time. Would highly recommend! read more

Consistently, good Chinese food. Always delivered quickly and hot. We like the Shrimp With Walnuts, dumplings (both fried and steamed), Ho fun noodle dishes, fried rice, and wonton soup. I'm sure other dishes are great as well and they are always accommodating to special requests. read more
