I've been coming here for years, I've never had a bad experience, never gotten sick, the staff is always so kind and friendly and quick. Every thing I've ordered has always tasted great and correct. I remember when the young girl would be doing her homework in the corner and now she's running cash register- so proud of her. It's amazing how this restaurant is still running at top quality read more

Tried Chopstix again last night after years. Pricing is on par with other places in the area. The sesame chicken was good and tasted fresh. The fried rice it came with had no veggies or eggs in it and was pretty bland - no up charge for fried over white rice but there isn't a huge difference in flavor regardless. The steamed dumplings were great. Large and flavorful. The sauce was a bit thin and lacking flavor though. The crab Rangoon were sweet (before the sauce) instead of savory and the sauce for this was also very thin. I would get them again, just be prepared for more of a cheesecake taste vs something a bit more onion or garlicky. Overall, pretty decent Chinese for the area, and everything was decent to good except the fried rice. read more

Great service, order was ready on time, 15 minutes. Nice and crunchy egg rolls and plump potstickers. We also had chicken fried rice, which I would not recommend as it was only fried rice with chicken, no small veggies or egg. The pork Lo Mein was good, just noodles, pork and onion. This place is conveniently located in Linden Plaza. If you live in the area I would recommend you give this place a try. read more

Chopstix Chinese Restaurant - Egg rolls, fried potstickers. Chicken fried rice, pork lo mein. - Chinese Near Me - Lindenhurst, Illinois

Absolutely terrible. It tastes like the food was made days ago and simply reheated. Hands down the worst Chinese food we've ever had. The fried rice was disgusting--looked like boiled chicken mixed with yellow rice. Everything else looked old and unappetizing; I didn't even want to try it. $60 completely thrown in the trash. Do not waste your money here read more

Been wanting to try this Chinese Place. I did so tonight and I am very disappointed. I guess I should have ordered something to go along with my House Special Fried Rice. Rice was very dry, and the meats in the rice didn't have much flavor. Looked like there was pork, chicken, and shrimp. I guess I'll have to try something else. Maybe next time. read more

Ordered the sweet and sour chicken large combo. They gave me a small size of the sweet and sour sauce with one pineapple in there I actually had to go back there because they messed up my mom's order of shrimp with lobster sauce. This by far is one of the worst Chinese restaurants I have been to with no flavor and super expensive. I would rather go to panda express next time read more

Been back quite a few times and continue to be satisfied with menu selections, portion size, quality and pricing. 5 STAR

My husband and I moved to Lindenhurst in 1993. We started ordering Chinese food almost immediately as we are originally from Chicago and really missed our restaurants! There was a woman there named Amy that I just adored! She and I used to laugh and talk all the time. Eventually, she and her husband retired and some relatives took over. I believe it changed hands a few times. I always enjoyed the food there. Recently, my husband has been going there to pick up some things. I noticed the quality wasn't the same. The beef with peapods had been my favorite but the order that I got last week was so salty! I called to complain and the woman who answered the phone suddenly pretended that she couldn't understand English at all. The shrimp fried rice is awful! It was never even fried. The shrimp were like they just came out of a Frozen bag color. There were just a couple of vegetables? In the rice and it also looks someone sprayed gravy in the rice to make it look darker small shrimp milk in but they hadn't been cooked on a stove, wok or anything. I decided to give these people another try and I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I have wonderful memories of this place and it's time for me to close this chapter. Please do not insult the people who are purchasing food from you. We are doing you an honor and you are providing a disservice. I had some photos of the food and after I was done taking pictures I threw the food away unfortunately my children here really to play with them and I'm missing those pictures. I might be able to find them again but I don't know. read more

Have been ordering from Chopstix for many years. Their food is always fresh and ready within 20 mins of ordering. Very reasonably priced, esp when ordering the lunch specials! One of only a few businesses left at the Lindenhurst strip mall. read more

Great little place, went there for take out the second time and food consistently great and huge portions. We'll for sure be back many times - it's really good food! read more

See all

Just went to dine in. Totally empty. I was told it would take over 40 minutes for food. They prioritize carry out to dine in!! Insane. Do not go here to eat!!! They only care about carry out customers. Never again for mediocre Chinese food. Red Sun all the way! read more

Delicious food and great staff. My favorite is the curry chicken and wonton soup. My daughter loves the orange chicken.

I can't get the terrible taste of their food out of my mouth. Flavorless egg rolls - adding the goop from the sauce packets didn't hemp - and that stuff isn't real Chinese mustard - I don't think there is anything real in it. Next up neon yellow "chicken" soup with won tons. That soup had nothing related to any chickens I've ever seen. The won tons did have meat in them, but all I tasted was salt. Fried rice...... flavorless - I have no idea what they season it with. I've been eating Asian food all my life and I've never been more disappointed. read more

No need to be fooled by the small location in a strip-mall, nor the simple decor - this food is exemplary! This is my parent's favorite place for Chinese take-out. They live in a very small town, and this restaurant is in the small-town next door. The young lady at the register, Yuki, was patient, kind, and fast! After taking my order, she disappeared behind the curtain-covered door and went to help prepare the order. I was uber-impressed that when I gave my Dad's order and its nuances, Yuki knew immediately who I was ordering for. That's a sign that a business knows its clientele! After only 10 minutes, the order was ready and I took a PIPING hot take-out order home to my parents. They use nice/large covered trays for their take-out orders. Easy to serve from. The food was fantastic!!!! I had orange chicken. My parents had pepper steak and Mongolian beef. They also had house special fried rice and won-ton soup. It was all soooooo good! If you live in these parts, or are visiting (Six Flags Great America is down the road) - get your Chinese food fix at Chopstix! read more

Chopstix Chinese Restaurant - Can't wait to have this spillin' into my belly! - Chinese Near Me - Lindenhurst, Illinois

Used to be my go to, not anymore, food has suffered but mostly there's no excuse for walking in at 6pm in a Saturday to get some fried rice for 1 and they tell you there's a 1 hour wait for that. Sorry unacceptable, try RED SUN down the street, so much better service and food. read more

the rice was horrible and it was no good flavor it could of been alittle better there was no seasoning

Once again another great meal! Chicken is tender. Almond shrimp is delicious! Beef and broccoli so good! Tried the almond cookies, a favorite when I was a kid, these are the best I've ever had! read more

I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant around the area, this has easily become my favorite!!! Their food is freshly made to order and so full of flavor! The sesame chicken and egg rolls are my favorite, my son's all about the chicken on a stick! The veggie lo mein is also quite delicious! Over all, I'd definitely recommend this place! I've tried other local restaurants and their food was watery, flavorless and just gross. Completely opposite of what you get at the Chopstix! read more

We order from here oftentimes for takeout. We love the food. The only problem is they don't deliver & long waiting times.

I have been looking for some decent asian takeout since I have first landed in Champaign and I have to say this has been the best so far. Open from 4pm-3am I feel very catered to as a sleepless college student. I HIGHLY recommend any of the brown sauce dishes (general tso's as well). However, the wonton soup isn't great and the broth is somehow greasy. Also, the egg rolls taste as good as a bag of frozen ones you could pick up at any grocery store. Dishes are usually ready within 15 minutes and staff is super polite. In my opinion the prices are a little high especially for takeout food on a college campus. However, this wont stop me from coming for the foreseeable future. read more

Let me start off by stating... I NEVER leave reviews! But this place... had to make an exception!! I love love Love Chinese food and have been under the mindset that Chicago has The Best Chinese food... But an 1hr commute for some food is not always feasible:/! With all this COVID19 mayhem going on, it was hard finding restaurants that were open and my usual go to place when I can't get to the city was closed. Found this place on yelp and let me tell ya... I am in love!!! Finally some really good Chinese food in the burbs! Food taste amazing and their prices are very reasonable compared to other places. I will definitely be going back to this place exclusively for my Chinese food cravings when I can't get into Chicago!! Yum yum yum! Thank you Thank you!!! read more

I had been here a few years ago and was unimpressed. Went back today for lunch and WOW. Lunch specials are $6.50 with rice and egg roll. Portion size was actually more than I could eat, and that's saying something. Almost too large for lunch. Had General Tso Chicken and my date had the Sweet & Sour Pork. Both were really good. Sauces all seemed to be made in house. Food was ready in 10 minutes (always seems to be the case with this cuisine) and was served piping hot. Egg roll was crispy. General Tso was super crispy and spices were perfect to my taste. Added a bowl of Wonton Soup for a buck and it was really outstanding. I think it had four wontons and was really tasty. Broth was well reduced and concentrated. Service was perfect, pricing excellent. Atmosphere really is just a few tables and not elegant, but that's more my style for lunch anyway. Restaurant was spotless. I highly recommend this place for lunch. read more

Really good! Recently moved to the area from ND and had no Chinese food options at all. Thought I would give this place a try and was not disappointed! The Kung Pao chicken was spicy and had large pieces of chicken, the egg rolls were delicious and the crab rangoon was full of filling and very tasty. The portions were large and they had my to go order ready super fast. I will be back again and again! read more

This was the worst Egg Foo Young I ever had, I mean bottom barrel. It was BURNT and inedible. The rice was mushy, overall I will never order from this place again. I did this time because Tang was closed, but this place, I will never order from this place again. Just NASTY. read more

I have been going here occasionally for about 3 years. Ialways felt they were a bit over priced but did like the food so would pay the price. Ever since they have gotten new owners they have gone down even more. They are not consistent with there recipes I order the same three things every time and always get something different. I ordered the lemon chicken and received almost all veggies. They also are not consistent with there prices. They overcharge. read more

Chopstix Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Lindenhurst, Illinois

I'm giving this a generous two star rating since I didn't get sick eating the food here. Beyond that, not much to say that's positive. The crab Rangoon was a slim wonton with very little filling, and even less fake crab meat. The sesame chicken was either over cooked or had serious freezer burn prior to being cooked. This would have been fine had my doctor prescribed a workout for my jaw, but definitely not pleasant to consume. The rice was fine...hard to mess that one up. I was hoping to find redemption in the fortune cookie but, nope. Stale stale stale and a non sensical "happy life follow you close" prediction. Hopefully I'll find better Chinese carryout in this area, because it would be hard to find worse. read more

A favorite eating establishment of mine stands right next door to Chopstix, and it shares the outdoor patio area, so on the way home from the Duck Farm dog walking park, we decided to give it a try. Ordering was easy enough, and they even brought our order out to the patio, take-out style, and that is where the problems began. We had ordered Fried Won Ton, Pork Fried Rice, Lemon Chicken, and Home Style Bean Curd. Unfortunately, whoever had packed this all up in a plastic grocery bag had laid the lemon sauce for the chicken on its side, and half of the sauce escaped the container, making for a sticky mess. I will say that they tried to clean things up as best possible, but we still ended up both having to wash the sticky residue from our hands after the meal, and leftovers had to be repackaged once I got home. As for the food, the Won Ton was okay but not great, lacking much meat, and I have had far better Pork Fried Rice as well. This was prepared Cantonese Style (dark), but it was more mild than I am accustomed to. The Lemon Chicken tasted alright, but I believe the chicken was probably prepared at some commercial kitchen and delivered to the restaurant frozen. I've seen and tasted exactly the same thing at numerous Chinese Buffets over the years. The Bean Curd was actually pretty decent, probably the high point of the meal. Sadly, this is one I'll put down in the books as a one time only visit. There is far better Chinese to be had in the area. read more

I have to update my previous review....there are new owners, and wow! has this places quality risen. We live a block away, so this was always a "just okay" basic Chinese restaurant, but it has changed to a "pretty darn good!" Chinese Restaurant! :) The meat is much better quality as are the veggies and such. They will tell you 20 minutes for when your order is ready, but it is closer to 10 minutes 98% of the time. We like to pick it up right when it is ready, so if you are the same, divide the weight time in half. There are several tables if you choose to sit down there and eat, too. read more

Really great food, highly recommend. Defenately ordering from here again! Price for food is very good not as expensive as other places I've ordered from around round lake. read more

This is a no-frills type of place and in my view does the trick well if your wanting a Chinese meal. The place is small and the decor certainly is not hollywood, but what counts is the food is good. The appetizers comes out quickly and the main meal follows soon after. So, if you want to socialize and not rush thru, order your appetizer first, wait until it comes to the table then order your main meal. Much of the business for this place is carry out, so you shouldn't have too much trouble in getting a seat. The owner is pleasant and is accommodating in modifying any of your food choices. I personally find the portions are just right and the prices are really good. For me, this is going to become a regular spot when I want Chinese. read more

Chopstix Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Lindenhurst, Illinois

Had 3 courses from Chopstix for the first time in many years. Food was GREAT! Delivered hot and prompt using Door Dash. The food arrived at the time promised. Best Chinese food I've ever had. We will definitely be back!!! read more

My first time ordering from here and absolutely LOVED it! We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Steamed Potstickers, Beef Teriyaki stick and Crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious! Our order was ready in 20 minutes and super hot by the time I got it home. The woman behind the counter was super nice, patient, and pleasant. She knew my order right away. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant even though I had ordered take out. Again the food was Aaamazing!!! We are definitely ordering from here again!!! read more

This is a typical Chinese restaurant, very similar to Long Feng in Round Lake. I had an order of orange chicken no combo and that alone was a huge portion of food. The only thing I have negative to say is the way the handle there drinks they come in cans and you pay for each one read more

Their noon specials come with this inedible extremely flavorless salty "fried rice" awful imitation. Their food is not nearly as good as nearby's fantastic Red Sun Restaurant and it's really over priced. On more than one occasion it's easy to tell they mix disgusting leftovers with your order. Add the constant nasty attitude of the female owner and it's a restaurant I don't recommend anyone to go at all. Avoid this place like the pest. read more

Well to start with its very clean. Ordered my lunch and it was FANTASTIC. Service was good. But the food my lord lunch you could actually take a doggie bag with. The portions are huge. I gave this little Asian joint a 4 I'm changing it to a 5 read more

I really wanted to like this place. This was my favorite Chinese spot growing up but hadn't gone for the last several years. I was noticing the recent bad reviews and was hoping they were wrong. Unfortunately the bad reviews were spot on and it must be due to new management. I ordered pork fried rice and it was borderline inedible. There were so many large and small chunks of fat and cartilage that I had to pick each piece out just so I could eat the rice. There were no other vegetables in the dish besides rice so it was basically rice(not great either), sprouts, and chunks of pork fat. The owners were very nice but they absolutely must know the food is terrible. Either close your doors or step up your game. The people of Lindenhurst deserve better and so does the legacy of the former Chopstix. read more

I'm pretty picky when it comes to Chinese food, and with my go-to closed due to COVID, this was the best rated place open. I'm glad we tried it! Egg rolls were excellent, hot & sour soup was good (could be a little more sour but that might just be my quirk) the main dishes were large servings and flavorful. The staff was friendly and service was quick. Definitely will try them again. read more

Chopstix is a great local restaurant. I remember loving it when my parents moved us here years ago. Since moving back with my children Chopstix has been one of my favorite go-to places. The food is alway good and service is always friendly and quick. read more

I ordered by phone Pepper Steak and Hot & Spicy Chicken. The lady said about half hour, which I said okay. However, I was about 10 minutes early and there was no one there. After giving her my phone number, she immediately gave me an angry face and said "I told 30 minutes. Not ready. " Needless to say, I said "me not ready" and walked out. She was one of the daughters. They need a lesson in customer service, especially on this crisis we are all facing and NO business can't afford to lose customers. They lost one now. read more

We get takeout from here every now and then. Noticed new owners and the quality has gone up as previous posters say. Before it was a consistently decent Chinese take-out. relatively fast, nice people, and the real American CHinese restaurant type thing, nothing fancy, nothing bad. I'm going with a four becuase there are no other decent CHinese places in the area. read more
