Coming from the northeast I've definitely lowered my standard for Chinese food, so I'll admit this isn't the best food around. What I will say is that their service is amazing and since they are the only late night Chinese restaurant around (especially with delivery) when it's necessary they are tops! I've come to realize, it's acutally pretty decent food. You can't go wrong with General Tso's or Orange Chicken. My friend likes their fried dumplings and their Wonton Soup is good. What you'll notice is every time you come in, regardless of it's your first or second time, they'll always greet you with a smile and take care of you. There's a sweet girl who works in there, who I swear must be on pills because she is always happy and super nice to you. It's mainly a take-out and delivery place, but you can eat there. When you eat there, they'll serve you water and bring you napkins and such, but it's not really an eat-in place. There's a 3% discount if you pay cash. Being on a college campus, we all get interesting cravings for interesting things throughout the night. Chopstix is currently the only restaurant I know of that does both take-out and delivery until at least 3:00am. By the way, delivery is relatively quick. Just try it out, it's pretty good. read more

A lot of food tasty. Good value. My daughter got the sweet and sour chicken. Tangy not so sweet sauce, pineapples were with the chicken. Inirdered the mixed vegetable steamed chicken. Can order tne sauce how spicy u want it. (1-5) i chose a 2 which was about a 3 in most other chinese restaurants so watch out for #5. read more

Best place for fast Chinese food. I like the ho fun, mee go-reng and singapore noodles. They are open really late and deliver. read more

This is mediocre chinese takeout, which is really saying something. It's also incredibly expensive. My total for some shrimp lo mein and crab rangoon was ~$17 (with a tip, because you shouldn't take it out on the peons), and the food was really not very good. I'm sort of amazed there aren't better options in town. read more

I have been eating at this place for a good amount of time now. In my experience, I have not dealt with any blatant issues with health or sanitation. All of my food has been cooked fully and looks cleanly. That being said, I have been disappointed with many of the menu items as many of the dishes can be bland or poorly executed. A hidden gem however, is the curry fried rice. I've tried it with many of the protein options and they are all excellent. Since there are pineapples in the curry fried rice, I like it best with shrimp and extra spicy. Definitely worth trying but kinda pricey considering it's just Chinese takeout on Green Street. Side note: The Crab Rangoon at this place are actually made like empanadas. They are so delicious and are a must try! read more

The delivery driver called and told me he was here, he was not. He argued with me that my address was in Urbana when it is Champaign. I then tried to give him my actual address, which i had already updated online and he got angry at me an hung up. I then called the actual store and told that guy my address, he said he would call the delivery driver and take care of it. The delivery guy called me another 10 mins later and told me to come outside, he still was not here, and continued to argue with me that i had told him this new address, which is in no way correct. He once again yelled at me "YOU ARE WRONG" over and over and hung up. I then called the store back to tell them i no longer wanted my food, she told me she would call the delivery driver and he would be there, no matter how many times i said "no, i want to cancel my order" she said "i call driver". After 10 minutes of arguing with her on the phone to take the charge off of my credit card and cancel my order, it had been an hour and a half, and her delivery driver had yelled at me TWICE, she then yelled " I CANCEL ORDER" and just hung the phone up on me. I am furious. If this charge is not off of my card tomorrow i will raise hell. Worst, rude, customer service i have ever experienced. If i could give it zero stars i would. Seriously disappointing though because, although cheap unauthentic chinese food, their crab Rangoon are beyond addicting and ill never be to eat them again. read more

I did a carry-out late night, and found a 4 inch long big plastic piece inside the egg foo young. I see a review with a staple from the food in the picture but I see that they said it might have been from the to-go packaging. I just wanted to leave a review to let people know there could be some other things in the food other than a staple. read more

Chopstix - A big plastic piece was found in my egg foo young. I called, and they want me to deliver it back to the restaurant to prove. - Chinese Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

First time here. We got delivery and it came super quick. We both loved our meals so much. Ridiculously large portion sizes. Took 3 meals to eat all of mine. Best crab rangoons I've ever had read more

Maybe I'm not being fair because I usually don't like Chinese food as a whole, but my take-out experience was sub-par at best. I came in late at around midnight and got Mongolian beef with egg-fried rice and an eggroll. It was definitely not worth $10 in terms of taste or portion size, I was really expecting better. There was also probably more onions then beef which was also annoying. I would say the only thing this place has going for it is the late night delivery and variety of options. Maybe I goofed and didn't order off the "Our Most Popular Items" list. I'm not sure, I'll be very reluctant to try it again, sorry! read more

Following myriad positive experiences with the chopsticks establishment, I found myself back at the small location on Green. I ordered my usual, expecting the same admirable quality but was shocked to find entirely incorrect meats! My infant twins and I all went hungry this night because of the careless error. Next time, I will make sure to check the contents of the order before I leave! read more

Chopstix is one of my favorite Chinese food. I've had order so many times for delivery. They were so fast to get my apt. And this is best place that When I study too late. I ordered Eggplant And rice noodle today. It was really so good. Anyway I will keep ordering Chopstix!!!! read more

If you are looking for late night Chinese, Chopstix is pretty much your only option. It gets a whole star just for that fact alone! Otherwise their food is pretty much OK. It's not a place I would seek out necessarily but it's not bad. Lo mein is one of my favorite dishes and theirs can sometimes be a little dry. But it still does the job! read more

Delivery was early that's why they get 1 star. Worst Chinese food I've ever ordered from Eat24. The Lemon Chicken was cripsy, but the weird, bright yellow gel had no lemony flavor. The beef chow mein was bland. I'm afraid to take a close look at the rice, after reading the reviews I should have read before ordering. My first thought after eating a small portion of $30.00 worth of food (including tip) was to throw the rest in the garbage. And after seeing photos in the reviews, it's going straight to the outside garbage can. read more

I've been ordering from this place for years and today, after getting my order in just 15 minutes (holy crap!), I decided to give a review. I've only ever ordered delivery so I don't know how the in-house service is, but the delivery drivers are always really nice and polite. The food is delicious (the crab rangoons are HUGE and a little sweet which is my favorite) and the dumplings are the best I've ever had. Pretty much everything I've ordered from Chopsticks has been delicious. Best part? They're open super late. I honestly don't know why anyone would eat at any other Chinese place on campus. read more

So far I have only invested in Chopstix's delivery service. As a vegan, I am content with the variety of tofu dishes offered, as well as the choice to either order a large entree or to go with a combo meal. Sometimes the deliverer of my goods has called me to inform me that the car is outside my dorm--this is after me not able to hear anything on the other side of the line--and the car is not, in fact, waiting there. I would personally advise against ordering the spicier dishes because my experience with those orders is over-filled with red pepper flakes instead of a variety of specs that add kick. Maybe I just don't order spicy Chinese food often enough to know better. Nevertheless, I have been very satisfied with my sesame tofu, regardless of the fact that it doesn't come with veggies in the combo platter, and I always have received more than one fortune cookie. read more

We love their spicy fried rice and lo mein !because they have 1--5 level for you to choose !and beef eggplant eating with the white rice so yummy!!! The teriyaki chicken on the steak my friend loves it ! read more

Eat here all the time, very nice ppl in there! Love the chicken wings & shrimp egg fo young!

I don't know why this place is so popular... well I guess it's because of the late night hours. I didn't have high expectations, but it seems like a really unclean restaurant... the General Tsos I had was gross and I just don't know... read more

I am only rating one star because there is no option to post 0!! We found a ROACH in our rice. I will NEVER be ordering from here again and advise everyone else to do the same. read more

Chopstix - Chinese Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This place is anything but authentic, but it is the most addicting place to order food if you love Chinese American and you're a broke student. I seriously order when I'm 8 drinks in or stone cold sober. My friends have to claw my Blackberry out of my hands when I'm walking home from my weekend drunken escapade just to re-delete this saved contact. Too bad I know it by heart ;-) The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it opens at 4pm when I really would love to order it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I could tell the management anything I'd say to please hire day people and just stay open 24-hours... it would seriously pay off if there are more crazy people like me. Overall, order here and you'll get yourself a perfect batch of fried rice (that may not actually be fried but it's totally delicious) and some General Tso's Chicken without the breading... YUM! read more

My go-to late night meal! Open until 3am, and if you aren't feeling like adventuring to the far end of green street, you can get it delivered for only 2 dollars. The food has always come in around 25 minutes or less. My favorites include the shrimp fried rice (it comes with actual pieces of shrimp, not like the tiny, cup-of-noodles shrimp), and the crab Rangoons. My favorite entire is general tso's chicken. You really get a bang for your buck, and can make multiple meals out of one order. Great for a college student on a budget. Price & availability definitely make it something worth a try. :) read more

Had no big problems, Chopstix does what it's supposed to. Ordered delivery of a pint of noodles and a side of fried wonton. Delivery came in about 50 minutes and the delivery man didn't speak a lick of English, but after a minute or so of pantomiming, I got my order and paid. The noodles were great. Classic chinese take-out stuff. 5/5 stars. The friend wonton are about 10% meat and 90% shell, so they're great if you're into that. I'm not, so I'm going to have to give them a 1/5 stars. I was hungry so I ate them anyways though. The sweet dipping sauce is good. Will probably order from them again, probably. read more

Feels like this might be one of the hundreds of Chinese around campus open at the latest hours. Surprisingly tasty food, although I've had mostly only the soups and fried rice. No real seating inside, unless you count a portable table with chairs. Then again, I have seen some folks actually eat inside. I've always done takeaway, which was fine. A good go-to place in a pinch. Prices are standard and the quality is surprisingly decent. read more

Their shrimp lo-mein is the only "alright" dish. I tried the shrimp with broccoli once and it was garbage. A guy told me this was the best place ever. We aren't friends anymore. 2 stars because both Lai Lai Wok and Cravings are better than this place in my opinion. And they are right the corner from chopstix. read more

If I had done this review a year ago, my rating would be much higher. Chopstix used to be my goto Chinese delivery spot on campus. However, for the past few months, my orders from Chopstix have been subpar. They've all been lukewarm and the meat unable to be chewed. Today I ordered Sesame Chicken, and I was only able to eat about half of it. The rest of the chicken was really tough, and contained cuts of meat that just aren't fit for consumption. Delivery times aren't so great either. It took a good 40-45 minutes for this past order around 9pm during winter break, so they can't be too busy. I don't think I'll be ordering from Chopstix again. read more

I am a fan of Chopstix delivery service! Chopstix is a new Chinese restaurant on Green and 2nd. My roommate has been ordering food there a couple of times and encouraged me to try it. The menu is like any other chinese restaurant: soup, appetizer, poultry, fried rice, etc. The girl who picked up the phone was very nice. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken entree which included a side of whtie rice and was priced $9.05. A lot of the entrees are p riced between $8-9 which isn't too bad. It's on the border of pricey, however, I don't mind paying this much from Chopstix. They have a combo platter which I wouldn't recommend ordering. The combo platter is priced between $7-$7.50 and is a smaller portion than the entree. It is served with steamed white rice or fried rice with a choice of either egg roll or spring roll. The portion is too small and they don't give you enough meat in the combo platter. In addition, the egg roll isn't that great. However, my General Tso Chicken entree came in a timely manner. It was hot and fresh. The delivery guy was very polite and I gave him a $2 tip. On the side note, I just found out that they will charge a $1.50 delivery fee if your order is $15.00... oh well. I'm excited that they're open till 3AM which I need to take advantage of in the future. Anyways, I would recommend ordering at Chopstix again. Thank you, roomie for this awesome recommendation. read more

Yeah come here if you want completely tasteless friend rice and Mongolian beef with about 10 pieces of meat and the rest onions for about $14. read more

Chopstix - Chinese Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

We ordered food for a hotel in Urbana and the driver called with an attitude saying he was waiting for us. We were sitting outside, and he was nowhere in sight. When we tried to explain where we were, he said "F***you" and hung up. In short, terrible customer service and terrible delivery staff. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!!! I ordered online for delivery. First off, the delivery guy called me to tell me that he was at my house. Uh, just knock?? I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, DRY. My fiancé ordered the empress chicken and he said it was okay. I don't think we will order from here again. read more

The food and service at Chopstix were some of the best in town. There were so many authentic options and the portion sizes were more than fair for the prices (so many leftovers for lunch the next day!) In addition to the food, the staff at this restaurant found and returned my wallet that I had left there almost a full day later. So grateful that there are good people and good businesses in this town. Everyone should check it out! read more

Late night hunger struck again. Options are limited in Champaign past midnight - your choice between McDonalds, Merry Anne's, Perkins, Steak n Shake, or Chopstix. I thought the idea of DELIVERY sounded good, so I chose Chopstix! I did read the reviews first and I set my expectations low. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment building, so after reading the reviews, I prepared myself with shoes, etc to go outside and meet the rude driver who would probably have trouble locating my building #. I also prepared myself for an hour wait. I was PLEASANTLY surprised that a half hour later, a knock on my door and it was a very nice young man with a beaming smile and friendly demeanor. They called ahead and let me know that one of the appetizers I ordered was not available, so they offered me a choice of another one, and then REFUNDED my money for the other app - the delivery driver handed me COD for not having one of the items I ordered. I made sure to tip him well and then I settled down to open up the delivered package. I only ordered appetizers, no combos or meals. Chopstix has awesome crab rangoons - I personally like my crab rangoons with a lot of filling, and not too much extra crunchy wonton wrapping. Chopstix rangoons are packed full with the creamy goodness and they are folded like omelettes -amazing. I also ordered the chicken wings which turned out great! kudo's to them for that. I did order the fried wonton's (because they were out of the chicken skewers) and I actually did not care for them. That's ok! I just won't order those again. I ordered Egg Rolls as well and they were very good. All in all, a much better experience than what others have had. I will say that Chopstix is your basic, quick, open late, delivery chinese food. Nothing to write home about, but I wanted to take time to leave them a good review to give them a pat on the back for good service this evening. read more

I ordered Mongolian beef and I think I got Mongolian onions and beef as a garnish. I think there were a total of 5 pieces of meat in that dish. I admit the onions tasted pretty good, but almost 10 dollars for a pile of cooked onions is pretty ridiculous. read more

I've gotten takeout from this place twice now (szechuan chicken dinner combo and I must say I have been impressed. Not your typical greasy joint (although it has the same menu as one), the food was cooked to order with good quality chicken and veggies that still had a decent bit of crunch. You can sub the egg roll for wonton soup for 85 cents, so I did. It was yummy and definitely hit the spot The only downside is that the dinner combos are just under 8 bucks, which is a bit high... but considering the quality I think this will move up in the 'it's late and I don't have any food at home' rotation. read more

The food is filling and good for the price. Definitely not the best Chinese food I've ever had, but hits the spot. Shrimp fried rice is pretty good and the lo mein is decent. If you're looking for quick, relatively inexpensive, and decent Chinese food, chopstix is the way to go read more

Full disclosure ahead of time: I worked here as a cashier for a few months (October 2012 to February 2013). As one of the only establishments open after 2 AM on campus, it caters to the last call crowd; having been on both sides of the table, literally, this in itself is quite the experience. As for the food, I would go to Cravings for more complicated dishes, but for staples like spicy chicken fried rice, orange/sesame/General Tso's chicken, Chopstix can't be beat. read more

I was very excited when I saw that a new Chinese place was open and that it is open really late! Then once I saw their menu and saw that they have a tofu general tso's I had to try it. So I did and it wasn't all that great. I am not sure how other general tso's are, but this one didn't have any broccoli at the bottom like other ones that I've had and the tofu was ehhh. Some pieces had a really good crisp to them, and others were tough and chewy. The food is reasonably priced and you get a ton, but stay away from the tofu general tso's unless you really really like tough and chewy tofu and rice. I know I will next time. Oh, but one thing they do get points for is if you pay with cash you get a 3% discount, even on delivery. read more

It took 40 minutes for the food to get here, and when it did, they forgot my spring roll. Because of my hunger, I was willing to let that pass. Sadly, the food wasn't much better. In layman terms, the food was crappy. The fried rice tasted like rice mixed with some salt and a lot of pepper. The beef and broccoli tasted like fake beef and nasty broccoli covered in soy sauce. I am very disappointed. Never again. I'm sure there are many better alternatives to late night Chinese food. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese places in town where I can get a consistently good meal at a great price. However, I have found that delivery is a bit of a gamble so I only do pick-up from them now. I think I tried delivery three times with them and only once was it on time. The other two times the driver could not find my house for some reason and one of those times he was rude to me about it, like it was my fault he was late. I would have given this place a better rating if the delivery was better, but I do like their food. Edit: After reading some of the other reviews, I'm remembering that I too, got a phone call and was asked to go outside to the car when I ordered delivery. Actually first the driver called and I thought it was the wrong number because I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I said wrong number and hung up. Then I got a call from the restaurant and they said they would call the police if I didn't accept the food. Then the driver parked on my block and wanted me to come out to the car to get the food. Sorry folks, that's not how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to bring it to the door. If you can't speak English, you shouldn't be in a position that requires you to. read more

Not sure if they were having a bad night or what! The general tso's chicken was very dry, tasted old and actually pretty nasty! The rice was mediocre. They forgot my spring roll! This was my first and last time ordering from here. read more

Yes there are a million Chinese take out places in Champaign-Urbana. However this is one of the better ones. When I am at work, late nights, they deliver and when you call there is always someone nice and helpful to help you. Their prices are reasonable and the delivery people are very personable. I generally order the Chicken Broccoli combination which comes with steamed or fried rice and an egg roll. Their egg rolls are chicken and always nice and crispy. I am a big fan of this place and have recomended it to my coworkers! read more
