We were looking for some lighter eats and Edwin's provides some great options there. Service was improved and very welcoming (I think last time they hadn't been open long). Once again we had the Lumpia-style Crispy Rolls and the Crispy Chicken Strips, and again they were delicious. My wife also had the Apple Salad which was also very good. I chose the Singapore Chili Prawns, which was not overly spicy, and very flavorful with perfectly cooked shrimp. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass. We were only going to have a quick meal and then head back to the hotel to relax, but it turned out to Open Mike night (basically Karaoke). The two hosts were engaging and good singers, so we stuck around as they were taking requests and had an appreciation for 80's music. Eventually other patrons and singers arrived, and we ended up sticking around for 2 hours. It was a lot of fun, and the manager brought us a couple of Coconut Macaroons on the house, that were yummy. One piece of constructive criticism for the owners is that they need to upgrade the space to give it more of a tropical resort vibe, which would make it a really unique option in Carmel along with the menu. The space as is, is a good foundation. Just a few new light fixtures and some larger plants would create a really cool space. As an example, they should look at pictures of Khaluna in Minneapolis.

The restaurant is located on the lowest level of the Carmel Plaza, I really loved the location because there are plenty of places to park right around there. Between the two of us, we shared: - Miso cacio e pepe: we came specifically for this! It's one of their most well known dishes, and I highly highly recommend! So creamy and savory, and the mafaldine pasta has such a nice texture, the ruffled edges hold on to sauce perfectly. We also added a bit of gochujang that came with the bibimbap and it was so good with some spice. - Dolsot bibimbap: my husband's favorite Korean dish so of course we had to get it! An excellent variety of veggies, which was nice since we barely got any veg on vacation. The kalbi beef was so juicy and delicious, and not overcooked. - Matcha Tiramisu: absolute must get, so unique. The cake layers were soaked in matcha, and topped off with some fresh fruit. - Grapefruit sake spritz: I was on the fence between this cocktail and the yuzu champagne spritz. Our waitress said that the grapefruit spritz was much less sweet, and I am so glad I decided to go with that option! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, not overwhelming.

Hidden little Vietnamese spot that hit the craving ________________________ Top 3's: - Wide menu with plenty of options - Portions are fair for the price - Interior vibe feels like an OC Vietnamese shop Low 3's: - Appetizers could be better - Restroom is outside by the entrance - Limited indoor seating if you're bringing pets Overall: 4.2 Ambiance: 4.1| Service: 4.3 | Value: 4.2 ________________________ This was the only Asian spot we got to try while up in Monterey. Honestly, it's decent for what it is. We were craving Vietnamese food and this was the only place we could find in the area. There's a parking lot right in front of the restaurant, and the restroom is located outside near the entrance. It looks like a small boutique Vietnamese shop, but the inside vibe is very reminiscent of restaurants you'd find in Orange County: clean and not too cramped. Since we had our pup with us, we ended up sitting outside. We ordered: papaya salad, chicken wings, pho dac biet, and pho tai. The menu has a wide variety of food and drink options, which makes it easy for anyone to find something they'll like. Pricing isn't bad at all, and portions are fair for what you're paying. The only thing I'd say is their appetizers could use a little improvement, but overall, it hit the spot for our craving. read more

At first glance this place seemed quite welcoming, but that's not the case. Instead of properly being given a table and feeling welcomed we get a "anywhere is fine". Once seated we were instantly given our menus, utensils, and placemats. After a while we still had not been asked what we would like to drink. But after finally getting our orders in and recieving our meal, I can say that the food was meh. Not terrible but good for a cold rainy day. None of the waiters checked on us and when we wanted to order boba and pay for the meal we had to go up ourselves and ask. Already being disappointed with the service, we wanted to try the boba to see if that would be the redeeming quality if this place BUT NOPE. I've had a lot of boba in my life and I must say that this was THE WORST boba I have had. Overall, the pho was decent but the staff seemed unorganized and unprofessional and worst of all the boba was gross. :/ read more

We enjoyed the Papaya Salad tonight for the first time! Oh my, wish we'd tried it years ago, we've been missing out on an amazing taste experience! The blend of flavors is extraordinary. Also had Sweet & Sour Chicken and Organic Tofu Rice Platters=wonderful! Even with takeout, the food was still hot when we got it home. All the veggies were so fresh, and the meat was tender. The tofu was cooked to perfection. I like to eat tofu very much, but am not good at cooking it. No need for me to work on that, when Chopstix is so close by! There was a large family group outside tonight, maybe 16 people, all sitting together, and enjoying themselves. Great idea for an excellent place to entertain a crowd, will remember that! Friendly staff, delicious food, great prices, we like to eat here at least once a week! read more

Sooo the rice is extremely dry and crunchy all the time like stale dry like left out for days crunchy. It every time I come here, never changes. I'm guess they cook all different meats together? I don't I'm just assuming because every time I order a bowl of pho of any kind of specific meat there's always a few chunk or slices of a different meat. For some people that'd be totally okay but I'm gonna go ahead and say that if someone say Muslim were to order chicken pho and get chunks of pork in there it wouldn't be okay, or a vegetarian person ordering veggie pho and then getting meat fat in their broth, yeah big no no. It's just not worth the money. Go to Noodle Bar or Lucky Pho instead. read more

I have been to Chopstix many time whenever I'm in town visiting my family & have tried many items on the menu. All the dishes that I have tried are all very tasty. What I love about Chopstix is the quality of the food and it's very inexpensive for just $5-$6 a meal that fill me up. I like the combination Pho, lemongrass beef with vermicelli noodle, lemongrass chicken with rice & their spring roll for appetizer. Oh and they also have a large selection of boba tea & it's very good as well. My favorite is the avocado smoothie with boba & house milk tea with boba.
