I was excited to try this restaurant but it turned out to be the worst Asian food I've ever had. I eat Thai and Vietnamese, Korean, frequently. One of things I love most about Asian food is how fresh it is. I ordered Shirt Rib Bahn Mi which was very difficult to get down the gullet. The meat inside was very old and dry, like beef jerky. It must have been cooked a while back and either reheated or sitting under a heat source for hours because it was like Jack Links on a bun, I couldn't even chew it. I was starving so I just swallowed big chunks like a snake. Now half the sandwich was jerky, the other half was giant chunks of inedible gristle fat. I was disappointed but thought to myself, give them a second chance before you write a bad review. That consideration went out the window when I opened up my order of spring rolls. They were burned to a crisp. So basically the restaurant was like... eff you, take our old meat before through it out and how about some burned egg rolls. Since the chef didn't care about his reputation... guess I don't either, so here are the photos. read more

Overall a really bad experience getting takeout from Chopstix. We did not finish our meals and ended up throwing the food away. We started with an order of wings that I found of shard of metal on one and the others were covered in hair. I understand it's common to have a feather or a piece of hair on chicken wings sometimes, but this was a ridiculous/ disgusting amount. The basil fried rice came with only a couple of fried chicken nuggets in it. I've never had fried rice with fried chicken and not slices of grilled chicken, but the amount of chicken was disappointing. & the other dish was bulgogi was very bland. read more

Some great vegetarian options for asian food in the Chattanooga area. Their tofu banh mi is impressive. The veggie pho is also very very good. Especially for a cold rainy day. Great spot read more

Was absolutely pleasantly surprised by this place. The boba was HUGE and tasted very good. I recommend the green tea. My family got pork chops and pho while I got the fried rice. The portion sizes are very large so you get a lot of bang for your buck and definitely some takeout for next day's lunch. The taste was super yummy. I think this is a new favorite. read more

I've been to Chopstix before and enjoyed it but my most recent visit left me wanting. I ordered the Special Combo Pho, which comes with all the good stuff like tendon and tripe. The unfortunate part is that when undercooked, both tendon and tripe are tough and really hard to chew, let alone enjoy. Such was the case with this meal. While, overall, it was a pretty good pho, it's just disappointing that it could have been better seeing as how I didn't have this problem when ordering the same thing last time. read more

I'm not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, but my choices at Chopstick's arrived fresh and pleasing. The spring rolls were exquisite. The phu was piping hot with lots of fresh garnish--juicy bean sprouts, fresh sliced jalapeños, a handful of basil, and a half a lime. The third dish was a special fried rice made with shrimp. The fifth star was held back for a poor follow up in service. Well before I finished my meal, the check was placed on the corner of my table. This made it awkward to order takeaway or the tea to go. Upon leaving, I asked for a drink to take with me and the server gave it to me for free. That was a win! read more

We really, really love Asian style cuisine. Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc. You name it, we love it. We just moved back to Chattanooga after 12 years in Nashville, where we lived in the epicenter of ethnic cuisine within the city (Nolensville road). We've been missing our favorite Korean joint, so we stopped in to Chopstix Saturday afternoon shortly after opening. They have bubble tea! With boba! I didn't try any this visit, but we were very excited to see they had several flavors. I ordered the bibimbap with beef - sadly, it isn't dolsot (served in the sizzling hot stone pot, like we're used to), but it was still a solid bibimbap, just could have been a bit hotter. Lots of good veggies, and not too much rice, which I appreciated. It came with a bowl of clear broth (mushroom, maybe?) which was unexpected, yet surprisingly delicious. Really loved that broth. My husband is on the hunt for Chattanooga's best Pho, so he ordered the beef & meatball pho. He said it was good, but maybe slightly under Rain's pho - less meat, slightly less flavorful broth. Still a great bowl, and he finished it all, so clearly no complaints. Service was a bit aloof but totally fine. I'll be back to try that bubble tea, for sure! read more

Ate here when on a trip for my daughter's birthday and every. single. thing. we ordered was amazing. Kids got the kids' pho and it was so much more than they were able to eat, but that didn't stop them from trying! They loved it. Husband got bulgogi and I got rice noodles and a bubble tea. Service was also outstanding (except for the one waiter who screamed on the other side of the restaurant and scared us half to death, but hey... he was having a good time. Haha). Next time we are in Chattanooga, we'll for sure be back. read more

This place was amazing. I loved the food here as well as the service. Our waiter was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. I would love to eat here again. read more

This place is not good. The worst Asian food I had in my life. The beef bulgogi was not good. The stir fried noodles were basically dry ramen noodles and were so salty like they just added the seasoning pack that's in instant ramen. The Korean fried wings were okay. read more

Very good pho vegan we loved it. Also their boba was delish. Worth checking out this place for sure.

If you're looking for a good bowl of pho in the Chattanooga area, this is the place! It has a decent menu that centers around Vietnamese food. If you are looking for Korean food, you'll have to ask the waiters (at the time of this review Korean food wasn't added to the menu). The portions are good for the price you pay. The quality of the food is excellent and you can tell that the chef knows his/her craft. They're also willing to modify your dish (within reason of course). The boba is very good quality and there is a good variety of flavors to choose from. The service is also excellent! The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. The only thing that knocks this review from being a five star is that the restaurant is too small! I'm sure that this restaurant will find much success and will expand in the future! read more

Pretty good Phō but a little cheap on the greens that go along with it. Parking is good and service isn't bad.

The server was actually pretty good. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant is clean. The food is horrendous. They DO NOT cook their wings to order. They cook it earlier in the day, then heat it up when you order and you can tell. The fried rice is extremely greasy. read more

Do I come in today ready to order C4 the beef and tripe pho there was a mountain of noodles tripe and everything else but only two pieces of beef I asked the waitress if she saw more than I did she only explained that they put at least six pieces of beef in there then I asked her if she saw 6 she never answered after I already put my herbs and everything inside of it I left because she would do nothing about it read more

Time of arrival: My friend and I showed up on Tuesday at noon. Order: calamari, beef pho and iced Vietnamese coffee. Pros: -very esthetic interior. Whoever designed this place did a really good job! -greeted at the door with no wait time. -servers and waitresses were genuinely kind and very thorough. - the food came out quick and on time with no awkward wait time between meals. -the food itself was delicious and the calamari was much bigger than anticipated (Check our the picture). Cons: -I got full too fast and wish I had more room to add more food. Summary: Excellent place to go to for a first timer who is just getting into Asian food, as well as for somebody who is experienced and knows how to work a menu. Will definitely go again within the next few weeks! read more

Best service ever. Funny and lots of jokes. P.s. ask for the pornstar. Its a bobba tea

I absolutely love everything about this place. Its a small restaurant, with a tiny bar when you enter, and the service is great. I've been here several times, and wanted to wait before doing a review, and can honestly say I have never received anything that wasnt delicious. As far as appetizers go, I have tried the Bahn Mi (beef and BBQ pork) they are delicious on their nice fresh baguette, with pickled carrot, radish, cucumber and cilantro. The portion sizes are ample and very fresh. They have several noodle dishes, and they are ample as well. The Lemongrass vermicelli and BBQ pork are both family favorites here. The grilled pork chop is very moist, flavorful and served with a side of steamed rice. The star item, on the menu for us, is their Pho (pronounced as "fa") The chicken Pho is good, but the best in my opinion is the rare beef Pho. A large bowl, served with jalapenos, bean sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro and limes on the side and add a little chili oil and hoisin sauce and you have the best bowl of Pho in Chattanooga! I've had the house fried rice, which is huge and full of flavor and the Bulgogi (Korean BBQ marinated beef) and beef Bibibap too. As far as drinks go, well, you cant go wrong. From a nice and refreshing Bubble teas, to the iced vietnamese coffee, all are refreshing. Their prices are extremely reasonable and will keep you coming back for more! Dont miss out on this gem of a place! read more

Visited for lunch during the week. We were seated right away. The decor is nice and relaxing. Service was a little too attentive, checking in too often; very pleasant and personable. The food was excellent I had a pork sandwich and it was flavorful and really delicious. The price was right and made me want to come back to try other goodies on the menu. Welcome addition to the Chattanooga restaurant scene. read more

My husband, son, and I went to Chopstix last night for a Father's Day dinner. It was fantastic! We shared a couple orders of the fresh spring rolls (one pork, one shrimp) and they were fresh and delicious. My husband had basil fried rice with tofu, my son had lemongrass vermicilli with chicken, and I had the combo pho. Everything was delicious, although I will get a different pho without the tripe next time (nothing against the dish, just a personal preference). The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and inviting, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

Their pho is to pho-king die for!! I have never had a bad dish from this place!! 100% one of the best places to get some amazing food!

I love PHO and Chopstix in Chattanooga, TN did not disappoint! It was sooooo delicious! My daughter had the chicken & rice and loved it as well! The place was clean and the staff was very helpful! Exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to serve you! I was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!! read more

Worth driving across town for!! Really love the Pho here and was excited to find this gem in Chattanooga as we came from Southern California where there are so many options. We also love the service. Kids love the dumplings and custom boba drinks. read more

I ate here for the first time a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed the restaurant. They had a good selection of teas and frozen drinks that were pretty unique. All of the food that I tried was delicious. I had Bulgogi beef and also ate part of a pork bahn mi sandwich. The server was nice enough as well as attentive. I will definitely eat here again. read more

Pho was just what we needed after a long day of climbing and hiking outside! With a couple of major food allergies in our group, we knew pho was probably a safe choice for all of us. Although our waitress was a bit confused about what had gluten vs what did not, we were able to get everything sorted out and everyone got something they loved! The pho was delicious and huge and the fried bananas were one of the best desserts I've had in a while! We were so hungry we all forgot to take photos, but chopstixs is a must visit for pho near chatt! Thanks for the great post climbing dinner! read more

Yo, I am literally writing this review as I'm crushing this tofu kimchi fried rice. It couldn't wait. It's that good! The portions are generous and it's delicious.

Chopstix - Vietnamese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This is my 2nd visit to Chopstix Viet bistro but my first review. My first encounter was a pick up Togo order and i was not impressed with lack of seasoning, small portions, and they forgot my dish sauce for my vermicelli therefore i wanted to have a sit down meal inside before i would leave a review. I'm glad i gave them a second chance because now I'll have more than one option and a closer option for my Vietnamese/Korean cravings. I came at around 2 for a late lunch and i was the only one in the restaurant. I was immediately sat in a fair size dining area with approximately 15 tables. The ambiance was great and i loved the decor. They even had a nice looking fish tank that had random cute Knick knacks. Since I use yelp at all times to choose my restaurant and food choices, i had a good idea what i wanted when i sat down. I have seen they had Korean options on their yelp picture page but when i was given the menu i didn't see them so i asked and was greeted with several different Korean options. I opted for the bibimbap and their kalbi. Guys the portions were ginormous. I had these leftovers 3 additional time so 4 meals for what i paid wasn't too bad. I believe the meal was like $35 totalish. I also ordered their milk tea and it came with boba. The drink was great and i slurped it down rather quickly. It looked big from the diameter but it was short and stout and for about $5 i wish there was a little more. The food was perfectly cooked. Fresh and lots of veggies, even banchan was served. They had kimchi which was my favorite but it was okay, these weird beans or peanuts that were too hard to eat. They also served me a mushroom soup that was a great start to the meal. Overall i enjoyed the food and the service was good. I'll be back to try more menu items :) read more

Great food, the service is good and the restaurant is very clean and organized. Can't go wrong here although sometimes the chicken can be a bit to dry but it's more of a quality control thing. You make enough food and some is bound too be bad. Great place tho! read more

Chopstix is an amazing option if you love Banh mi and Pho. I was here with my family and we had a delicious meal. We started off with veggie tofu banhmi and I loved it. It had fresh crunchy veggies and tofu. Next, we had basil rice and tofu rice. Tofu was very crunchy and tasty. Their Vietnamese coffee was also worth trying. Special mention for the friendly warm staff who took care of our table. Follow my food journey on Instagram-teekhi_mircheee read more

I love Pho. I travel for a living. I was in town and tried this place. It was so good, I came back the next evening. Highly recommended.

Good place to go eat ! Nice staff and clean environment ! Super friendly . I would definitely go back and visit

Love this cute little restaurant. I always sit at the bar and get the best service. I love the variety on the menu and how different it is compared to other places. Their Pho is good!! I tried their fried rice (kimchi) and it had a little heat to it and was such a large portion I had enough for the next day! Their Vietnamese coffee was good as well. Want to try one of their Bubble teas next. read more

I've come here several times to get taro boba because they make it SO GOOD! friendly staff!

I stopped in for lunch because I was tired of going to the same old place close to my office. I was pleasantly surprised by both the food and how nice the interior was. Located a stones throw from Champy's, this place doesn't look like much from the outside. Just your run of the mill strip mall Chinese restaurant. However, step inside and feels like a completely different space. An upscale contemporary decor restaurant. Nicely done! I waited for a few minutes to get seated. There was only one waiter who was serving and working the register. I'm guessing the owner. Once seated, I ordered a bowl of beef pho. I no sooner than handed the menu back to the waiter then he was back with my order. No kidding. At first I thought he was coming back to clarify my order or ask a question. I thought to myself...well service is certainly swift! So I dug with my soup spoon and chopsticks. My second surprise. The soup and noodles were great! The bowl was enormous. Two people could easily eat a belly full. My only quibble was the beef and meatballs. It's not a taste thing but a texture presentation issue. The meatballs were cut into chunks but were rubbery. The beef looked like it was sawed with a dull knife instead of sliced by by a skilled chef. Again, not a taste issue but a presentation issue. Overall, I'm going to add this place to my lunch rotation and work my way through the menu. Cheers! read more

Chopstix - Shrimp fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

So excited that we have several choices in the area now for Vietnamese cuisine, specifically Pho. If you've read any of my reviews then you know I'm a fool for Pho (pun intended). Chopstix is brand new here in town. Located on Lee Hwy next to Champy's. It's a cute little spot. I've seen the sign saying "coming soon" for months now and thought it would be a generic Chinese fast casual type place but was very pleasantly surprised when I passed by last week and the final sign was up, with the name, "Chopstix Viet Bistro". YES!!! I stopped in the other night, excited to try their pho. The space is bigger than it appears from the outside and it's decorated very elegantly. Dark wood colors with teals, green, blue accents. I sat in the main dining area where there are some booths and tables. There was one other couple in there and then later a group of people came in. The menu has a good selection of some popular Vietnamese dishes, but of course I was interested in the pho. Was a little surprised that they only had 3 choices, beef, seafood and chicken. I hope at some point they expand upon the different types they offer. I chose the beef pho and also the winter rolls. The rolls came out quickly and they looked nice. I was happy they had the peanut dipping sauce. A couple of observations, the rolls weren't cold, sort of room temp, which with it having shrimp, they should be cold. Also, they were loosely packed and had a lot of lettuce in them as a filler. When I took a bite, they sort of fell apart. They weren't bad, but I've had much better. The pho came and the bowl was HUGE!!! This had the sliced beef and Vietnamese meatballs in them. The broth had a light beef flavor to it. Very clean and refreshing, more like a chicken broth. I would like it to be a bit more beefy. I should have asked if they had the beef paste to add to it. I added my choice condiments of hoisin and sirracha, as well as the bean sprouts. I tend to make my flavors a tad sweet and spicy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had culantro and well as cilantro. Culantro is a long, narrow green leaf that adds another nice herbal element to pho. The beef slices were a bit tough and pieces were inconsistently sized. Some were very small and some were very big. Also, the meatballs were a tad dense and chewy. Overall those are just minor observations on my part as a Pho snob and did not take away from my experience of the soup. It was still really good and I couldn't finish it all it is so big! I will definitely go back and try their other two pho selections as well as other dishes. Oh, they also serve the Vietnamese coffee, hot or iced. Oh my!!! Again, I'm so happy to have more than one choice for Pho. Thanks for coming to town, Chopstix. read more

Shared a variety of dishes. We would highly recommend the short rib bahn mi. The meat had a nice charred flavor, and the toppings were fresh with a bright pickled flavor. The kimchi fried rice with chicken was nice and spicy and the chicken very tender. Looking forward to topping left over fried rice with a fried egg and enjoying it a second time for breakfast. Pho broth was delicious and comforting. Shrimp Spring rolls were also a winner. The portions were generous. We brought some of everything home for left overs except the beef bibimbop, it was just a simple comforting mix of flavors. Enjoyed it too much to tap out before my bowl was empty. The service was excellent our food arrive quickly. We will definitely be coming back again. read more

There are so few restaurants in Chattanooga that don't mind a reservation for 14-16 people. We all had fabulous meals (mostly Pho), service was quick and efficient for such a big group. Most of our group had never been here and they were all blown away by how good it was. read more

The place is legit. I come from the land of plentiful pho so it was nice to find a good pho place here in Chattanooga. The interior design elements are very nice and the place looks clean. I am not sure the pho is vegan, but they say it is vegetarian... which means it can not be made with chicken or beef broth right? I am hoping it is vegan because it is very good. We also ordered the Banh Mi sandwich. Slight issue with the kitchen not getting the order right on two visits. First time was ordering the tofu Banh Mi with no mayo. It came with mayo. Second time was ordering a side of fries to go and they gave us the chicken finger dinner with fries. No big deal, I will return. They pho is a big bowl so a lot of food. read more

Only wish they also served alcohol. But my friends and I went and enjoyed every dish, regardless.
