Nice quiet atmosphere. Finally found a Szechuan sauce in Franklin that is not overly sweet. I told them mild and it was the PERFECT amount of spice. Rice was cooked well and the fried tofu was cooked properly - not overcooked and squishy. They did not have Szechuan tofu on the menu, but she happily substituted the shrimp for me. (Not a vegetarian- just happen to like good fried tofu in a spicy sauce ) Prices were extremely reasonable and they do a lunch special for less than $10. Will definitely be back! read more

So delicious! We ordered the general tso chicken with the lo mein. Both delicious and the service is so quick and the owners are very sweet! Will be back and will always support this local Franklin spot! read more

Chopstix - The general tso chicken and lo mein is to die for! Such great food and such great service! Definitely will be back. - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Best Chinese takeout in the area. Being from New York I am very picky about Chinese take out and this blew my expectations out of the water. It tastes just like home! Service is always friends and super fast. Easy and inexpensive dinner read more

Visiting from California and stopped in here for lunch. We had the jambalaya, garden salad with a side of lemon chicken. Everything was delicious. The waitstaff Sammy was attentive, and polite; made it a great experience! The ambiance nice and warm for what you expect a chophouse to be very cutely decorated. The menu has a wide variety of things and they have daily specials. If you're in the neighborhood you should try. read more

We place an order on the phone on Wednesday, day before Thanksgiving. They said it would be ready in 25 minutes. We arrived and had to wait another 25 minutes for it to be ready. The food is great, but the wait is awful. Would have preferred to be told when it would honestly be ready. But, we had the spicy shrimp, which was amazing, perfectly cooked. Also had Mongolian beef that had so many onions, it was nearly inedible. The "fried rice" we ordered was mistakenly given to us as brown rice. We were obviously not the only ones told the incorrect times. The lobby and parking lots were full of people waiting. It was very loud. read more

The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great! The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean and has nice calm music. It was not busy on a sunday afternoon. It was also affordable. It was $32 for two meals, an appetizer, and two drinks. read more

The food was delicious and I highly recommend! Definitely the best Chinese food we found around Franklin and the best we've had since we left Chicago. I had the orange chicken and my wife had the kung pao and we both thought our meals were really good. We also ordered the crab rangoons and spring rolls and both were delicious. We will most certainly be back! read more

This place can never get their time estimate close. They need to be honest with people when they call in their order about a realistic time. It's taken twice as long as they said the past few visits. read more

Was trying to come up with something catchy for this review, but like the food we ordered....have come up short. Best part of dinner here was the polite young woman who took our order. Polite...but not well-versed in explaining dishes. Yes, I suppose I could be better prepared when dining at an ethnic restaurant, but I also think the staff should be able to explain differences in seasoning between Hunan and Sczechuan. Both chicken dishes I asked about on their menu had a hot pepper symbol beside them. (I love spicy dishes.). Yet when I asked about any difference she simply said, one had brown sauce the other doesn't. Uh....probably have some other spices too? Regardless, the dish that was served was not hot (spicy) at all. Big disappointment....and seasonings? They seemed sadly lacking as well. Hot and sour soup was ok but nothing to get excited about. Egg roll - fair, but again, run-of-the-mill. Rice....ok, that was pretty good...but it was just rice....not gonna drool over plain white rice, no matter how well it's made. Bottom line...dim interior, menu lights burned out so dishes could not be seen (likely stock photos anyhow). All in all a big disappointment. read more

Nice little family owned Chinese restaurant. It's been in same location for nearly 20 years. Food is standard Chinese fare, but it's prepared better than most and flavorful. Quality is consistent read more

Inexpensive but tasty Chinese take-out that is better than many places in Franklin costing much more. No atmosphere to speak of. But the young woman who takes your order but can barely speak English is friendly and tries hard. read more

Was hesitant after some of the bad ratings but it's really not bad at all! We got the beef Lo mein and the orange chicken. Would come back and recommend! read more

The food is great for a family owned business I go there at least once a week and the service there is probably one of the best I've ever seen of any place I've ever been to highly recommend to anyone amazing place read more

I'm from out of state and was not satisfied. My brother in law bought us dinner and let's just say 'No'. Spring rolls were bland and undercooked and were very hard to chew on as were the meat Ragoons as well. The dumplings tasted of burger beef and depended on onions, the sauce was plain old soy sauce. The orange chicken, sezechuan chicken and honey chicken ALL TASTED THE SAME and LOOKED the same. The pork fried rice was bland, the chow mein was bland as well and shrimp smelled old. The beef and broccoli...beef was gamey and was grossly fatty, and broccoli was the only decent thing. The sweat and sour sauce was old and watered down I never rejected food so fast and wasted so much food with my family before. Sad to say never again.. read more

I don't understand what everyone is whining about. This is a standard Chinese take-out place. Chinese take-out is not good for you, it's salty and fun and cheap. You don't go to McDonald's and complain that they don't serve T-bone steaks. The food here is decent. It's made to order in the kitchen, instead of being in trays under a heat lamp like many take-out places. The workers are nice, too. They want to take good care of their customers, and when you're at the register, you are clearly a priority. I used to live around the corner from here, and ate here pretty often. Now I live in Philadelphia where there is a crappy Chinese restaurant on every block. This food is much better than that. Drop the snobbery, folks, and instead enjoy the egg drop soup. read more

Their Lo(w) Mein made me high on life. Their egg roll made for a happy mouth hole. Their Chow Mein? More like give me that NOW, man. Fortune Cookie was accurate AF. read more

After visiting Chopstix several times with relatives (my last visit: Sept 2018), I've concluded that there are two factors that will determine if you enjoy (as I do) this modest eatery with only ten tables in a strip-mall: First, your tolerance for Americanized, "Fill 'er up" Chinese comfort food, and second, which dish you order--as described below, we've enjoyed some dishes while finding others plagued with stringy meat. Some folks, such as my Taiwanese cousin in-law, don't find sufficiently authentic this economy Chinese food, similar to the "Chinamerican" cuisine offered in strip-malls around the U.S. If you prefer upscale establishments or Chinese restaurants where the menu is actually in Mandarin, you'll likely share his opinion; I'm not trying to dissuade you from such tastes. But I, on the other hand, who unapologetically prefers quantity over authenticity, enjoy the generous, hot and tasty (if salty) portions. While Chopstix is not a buffet (unlike my beloved Ding How in Prattville, Alabama), I probably get no less to eat here than at a buffet, and my relatives end up having to put their leftovers in to-go boxes. But getting not just a lot of food, but a lot of *good* food at Chopstix depends on ordering the right dish. I've ordered their chicken, beef, and roast pork Lo mein, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. However, my relatives said that the General Tso's chicken, though they enjoyed the flavor, was stringy, and that the beef and broccoli dish contained so much gristle as to be unpalatable. On the other hand, both of my relatives commended the Hunan chicken, adding that it avoided the stringiness of the other dishes, had good flavor, and the right balance of spice. Due to the quality of Chopstix's dishes being hit-or-miss, I considered only giving it a three-star rating. But, I've genuinely enjoyed my visits there, and I look forward to visiting again, so I've awarded it four stars, while at the same time conceding that not all dishes there deserve that many. Some closing random trivia: In June of 2015, a fire broke out in Chopstix. Employees attempted to subdue it with an extinguisher, but it continued to grow until the automatic sprinklers kicked in. The store was saved, but not before it sustained an estimated $50,000 of damage. But, Chopstix appears to have recovered well--if I hadn't read about it, I wouldn't have known it. read more

This place provides a great online menu ordering option; after that it is all downhill. My food was promised at 5:10; had to ask several times the status of my order. Did not get it until 5:45. Had I not paid cash, I would have walked. And the order was not correct! Don't waste your time with this restaurant. The food is not worth the aggravation having to wait and their limited understanding of customer service. A better choice up the street is Ching Asian Bistro in Westhaven. Better food and I'll drive the extra two minutes to get my order on time and correct. Chopstix is off my list forever! read more

If you enjoy mall buffet food that has been sitting for hours, this is definitely the place for you. The food is tough, chewy, flavorless, gelatinous and just plain gross. At 6pm on a Friday, this place was empty. Not a single patron. That says a lot. By far the worst Chinese food I've had to date (and I've had it all over the country in cities big and small). Here are just a couple examples of why I would never come back... We ordered 10 things and only a few containers were labeled so we didn't know which was supposed to be which as we opened them, which was concerning since we had kids and several were supposed to be spicy. There were four chicken dishes that looked exactly the same, and tasted nearly identical. The meat was so tough that no one enjoyed it even if you could get past the bland flavors and the kids gave up early on trying to gnaw at them. Pepper steak with onions looked and tasted identical to Mongolian Beef, with the exception of the Mongolian having green onions. Beef with broccoli didn't taste like anything, it seriously had zero flavor, just a nasty gelatinous mouth feel. Nothing had any seasoned flavor and none of the spicy dishes were spicy. The orange chicken had an odd orange color and tasted like white sugar. The fried rice was dry and flavorless. The only redeeming item in this whole mess was the chicken lo mein. I'd want to give it zero stars if it weren't for that. There was only a few strips of chicken in the whole quart sized container, but damn it was tasty. read more

Good and spicy. Much better than the other Chinese places in the area. The staff was friendly, fast and the food made my head sweat. Definitely will go again read more

If you want quick food then this is your spot. If you want flavorful food then this is not your spot. I was in the area and stopped to try this place for lunch. I ordered the L4: chicken, shrimp and mixed vegetables with white rice and wonton soup. I took my wonton soup home so I'll eat it later. I did eat the meal and the vegetables were crisp which I liked. Zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and baby corn were the vegetables and all of them were good. The chicken was flavorless, gummy, and unappetizing. The shrimp were large, deveined, and cooked well but they were not enough to save the chicken. read more

Chopstix - L3 special - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This place has gone downhill to the point where it's completely unsatisfactory. They've decided to start using little styrofoam cartons that are far smaller than the quart size boxes for entrees and fried rice or vegetables that they used to use (and what they charge you for). When I ordered additional fried rice they charge me for it and then do not provide the original side rice that should come with the meal. I ordered vegetables with shrimp and lobster sauce and it looks like they're starting to use the frozen diced vegetables in the small bags that you find in the grocery store freezer section. As for the taste - its very bland. I will not be returning after several years of being a regular patron. When you start producing bad quality food and shortchanging your customers it's time to find a new place to eat. read more

Definitely a last resort type of restaurant. Usually only go if I'm in the Mood for Chinese and aren't willing to drive very far. Food is average at best. Fried rice is always on the salty side and the hot-n-sour soup isn't the best. I will say that the low mien is pretty good as well as the generals chicken. As long as one doesn't expect too much, it may surprise you... read more

There is NOTHING exceptional about this place. What do you think of when you think of Chineese take out? I bet you this place wouldn't be far from it. It isn't great, but it isn't horrible. It is salty and you are hungry again in an hour, but it is tasty. Here's my tip: if you order the hot and sour soup, ask for hot sauce and vinegar on the side, otherwise isn't not hot or sour. read more

In the words of my husband, "Built in portion control." Translation: "It's so bad, I can barely eat it." Bland and gross. I had the Szechuan Style combo plate. The sauce was rather bland and not spicy (despite the chile next to it on the menu). The squash in the dish tasted freezer burn. My husband had the steak and seafood combination plate (though, he should have known better since it's cheap Chinese in a landlocked state). The sauce, again, had no flavor. The scallops were ocean water salty and tasted like old seafood. The imitation crab legs were beyond disgusting. My daughter's chicken fried rice was eatable but nothing to write home about. The hot and sour soup was sweet, but not bad. It was all around gross and waste of $30. Three-quarters of it went directly in the garbage. Chopstix is really close to our house, but I think we'll drive the extra 5-10 minutes to get something better the next time we want Chinese. read more

I live right down the Highway from this restaurant. I call in and pick up ALL the Time!! Our favorites are Shrimp Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Tofu and Broccoli and moo goo GUI pan. Hard working family that runs it! Love this place!! read more

They are definitely fast with the orders. It seems they are always open. We have been going here for a little over a year. When we first went the place was not the best, but the food was pretty good. We were here last week and decided it would be our last visit!! The place is DISGUSTING!!!! I didn't even want to touch the trash bin to put my garbage in. It's crusted over with good and looks like it has not been cleaned for years. The soda machine looked the same way...all splattered and stained. The entire place felt greasy and gross. It felt like it was 85 degrees inside. I don't know if there are new owners or what the reason is, but it definitely felt like a disease waiting to happen! I can't believe there are no inspectors that go into this place because it certainly would not pass a board of health inspection! As for the food, it was just okay. The sesame chicken dish I got had a tiny bit of chicken, if any, wrapped in a ton of breading. It was so greasy and hardly worth the calories. I was truly nervous to eat anything because the place was so dirty. read more

This restaurant is always fast and delicious! I've done business with them for years and never once had a negative issue.

I wish I could post a pic of my food...bleh! I called in an order and when I got there The outside sign was turned off and barely any lights on inside ( around 7:00 pm)I thought they had closed already but the little lady behind the counter said " No it was just cold outside and they haven't had any customers ( weird). This is the second time I've picked up food from here, got it home and it tastes like a cigarette! I'm not even sure it was chicken in my chicken fried rice....didn't look like any meat I was familiar with! Horrible and will not be returning!!!! read more

Listen...for some quick Chinese food this place is pretty good. We got vegetable egg foo yong, mei fun, sweet and sour chicken with spring rolls and egg rolls. No complaints and one of the few places around that does foo yong. Well worth it for takeout. read more

I ordered chicken fried rice and it was absolutely the worst fried rice I have ever had. The chicken didn't look or taste like chicken, it looked like pieces of chicken fat. I could not find anything that nearly resembled meat. The rest of the dish was Rice and a little bit of onions. Typically chicken fried rice at other restaurants actually has chicken and usually has other vegetables such as peas and carrots and sprouts etc. The taste was even disgusting. If there was a way to give zero stars that is what I would do. To be absolutely fair, my husband got a Bourbon chicken entrée and said it was OK. The chicken in that dish did actually look like chicken but it had a weird taste when I had a taste of his. read more

Typical fast-food Chinese. I typically stay away from anything extravagant. Good pork egg roll, decent shrimp fried rice (plenty and deveined). It's all about convenience. Not with travel, but good in a pinch. read more

I work a couple of stores from this restaurant and decided to try when I got off work one day. I ordered the shrimp lo mein and it was awful and some worker brought her kid and was being really loud and disruptive inside the restaurant. Won't ever go back. read more

Such a wonderful Chinese restaurant. They have a huge menu and very fast! Food is best when the mom n dad r cooking. It's more crisp and perfectly sauced. Usually early in the day. We travel all the way from Nashville! Try it. read more

We're new in town, so we decided to try this Chinese place out, but we will not be ordering from here again! The food was very bland and dried out! It did not taste fresh at all and was pretty much a waste of our money. I would not reccommend this place at all! YUCK! Learn from our experience and find Chinese elsewhere... read more

Awful service, couldn't get the lady at the order desk to put down her cell phone to take our order and when she did finally she got it wrong trying to talk on her phone and take our order at the same time. Food is not bad but the place is dirty. I bet the health dept has not been there recently. I would not recommend and I won't go back. read more

I live less than 5 minutes from this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to find it. I was a Chinese linguist in the Army and lived in Hawaii for 6 years and so feel pretty well-qualified to comment on this hole in the wall. I have had better, and worse, but this is by far the best Chinese restaurant I have found in Middle Tennessee. read more
