I visited Chopstix in Sparks on a whim when my wife was getting her nails done nextdoor, thinking I'd just shnack a little while I waited. Instead, I ended up coming back the same day because my first experience was that good. Let's start with the appetizer sampler I got first go round. The egg roll was crispy, cabbagey, savory, and satisfying. The shrimp was crispy, fresh-tasting, and absolutely delicious with the sweet and sour sauce. The chicken wings were crispy, crunchy, juicy, and left me wanting ten more. The sesame ball was sweet, creamy, and wonderfully nutty. The crab cheese puffs were packed with filling, crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, with a slight tang. The restaurant itself was spotless and smelled nice. The staff were friendly, smiling, and genuinely made me want to come back. The appetizers came with sweet and sour sauce, hot mustard, soy sauce, and a generous stack of napkins. It's a little thing, but I appreciated it. After I ran into the nail place to let my wife try what I thought was amazing, we decided it was gonna be dinner. Later, I came back and ordered two combo plates and a chicken fried rice. My combo came with chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken. My wife's came with fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken. My mom ordered the chicken fried rice. My plate left me conflicted. The flavors were fantastic. The orange peel chicken actually had large pieces of orange peel in it, giving it brightness, sweetness, and acidity. The General Chicken had a nice spice level, and I could actually taste ingredients like ginger instead of just generic sweetness. The chow mein was flavorful enough that it didn't need soy sauce at all. The problem wasn't flavor. It was texture. The chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken were all much softer than I prefer. Not quite mushy, but getting close. Everything kind of compressed when I bit into it. So I'm torn. Amazing flavor, but textures that just weren't my favorite. My wife's Kung Pao Chicken, on the other hand, was excellent. The spice level was perfect, the vegetables were uniformly cut and perfectly cooked, and there were peanuts throughout that added a nice crunch. Nothing was undercooked, oversized, or awkward to eat. Whoever is doing the knife work and prep in this kitchen deserves some credit because it shows. The fried rice on that plate was okay. Not bad at all, just very simple. It needed a little more flavor and a little more going on. My mom's chicken fried rice was much better. It had more seasoning, more ingredients, shredded chicken, vegetables, and a much more satisfying overall texture. So what's the verdict? The appetizers were outstanding, especially the shrimp and crab cheese puffs. The Kung Pao Chicken was excellent. The chicken fried rice was very good. Even the dishes I criticized had genuinely amazing flavor. Seriously, orange chicken that actually tastes like orange instead of pure sugar? That's rare. General Chicken where I can pick out individual flavors instead of one-note sweetness? Also rare. My issue was texture, not taste. If you like softer textures, you may love the chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken. If you're like me and prefer more bite, chew, or crispness, those dishes may not be your favorites. Will I be back? Absolutely. I should also mention for two combo plates, a order of shrimp, and order of crab cheese puffs, I spent like $55 bucks. Not bad at all. The flavors were too good not to come back and explore the rest of the menu. Honestly, if the orange peel chicken and General Chicken had a crispier texture, they'd be among the best versions I've had. As it is? 4 out of 5. read more

It's decent Chinese takeout. Nothing mind blowing. The egg rolls were good but stay away from the orange peel chicken. It was so hard and dry. Like day old stale. Mongolian beef was mediocre, kind of sour in a weird way. The chow fun had potential but noodles were unfortunately dry and hard as well. Fried rice was simple but tasted fine too. I'll come back but try different things next time until I find my go to's. The place has potential, just missed the mark on these dishes. read more

new to this area. I checked for good yelp reviews for Chinese food restaurants. This one had the best reviews. So we went ahead and try this place. It's a small family owned restaurant in a shopping center. It family friendly, clean presentable. The menu is clear and detailed what is each meal. We were served in a timely manner. Now for my review on the food. The food was delivered fresh and hot "off the stove" which is % My vegetable delight was too soft over cooked and serve in a brooth. My chow mein wasn't the best. My fired rice wasn't "firied rice" it was steamed with some veggies. It wasn't traditional fired rice. The kung pao was okay. But not great. We didn't order any drinks because we had are own water. So I wasn't going to pay for another bottle. We spent $33. not bad. QUESTION: would I come back? NO it was an experience but I won't. But that's just my experience. read more

Was honestly super excited to try this place out in the photos look good but when getting my food, it's absolutely tasteless. The only thing good thing about it is the chow mein. The Sesame chicken has no flavor and the Kung pow chicken is gross. Also, the eggrolls were soggy, and the hot and sour soup was very runny and had like a little to no flavor. Very disappointed. read more

Stopped in for some takeout since I saw they had Lanzhou beef noodle on the menu (rare find in Reno lol) but I decided to order the Szechuan beef instead. Huge portion and loaded with veggies like water chestnut, broccoli, bamboo, and black fungus. Service was also really quick and I was out in 10 minutes. Very tasty and I will definitely be coming back! read more

No stranger to fast food Chinese, this place is very good and a welcome addition to the Sparks restaurant scene. As I typically do on weekends in a pinch, I ordered take out via Door Dash and the food arrived hot and on time. I ordered a fried rice/chow mein combo plate with Sweet and Sour Chicken and Sesame Chicken along with a side of potstickers. The helpings were plentiful and the prices were on par with what it should be. The chow mein was standard but lacked some need vegetables and the fried rice was good as well. Both chicken dishes were crispy yet tender and the sauces were very good but the S&S chicken could have been tossed in the sauce rather than drizzled to coat better. The potstickers were great (and large) and perfectly steamed and slightly fried with a flavorful dipping sauce. Overall I liked it and it's a good standard fast food Chinese option for the neighborhood. I'll be back. read more

This place is awesome! We tried the orange chicken, general's chicken, fried rice, chow mein, egg rolls, potstickers & everything was perfect. They're really back there cooking your food fresh to order & you can taste the the quality. They don't skimp on sauces either! Happy to have a good Chinese spot close to home. Please don't ever change! read more

I know this place has been referred to as fast food but it is pretty darn good if it is fast food. The place is rather small but very clean. Staff is friendly and service was prompt. I have been there twice now. The flavor and quality of ingredients are very good. The portions are large. The texture of the Chow mein noodles is great and not greasy. BBQ pork fried rice was very tasty. I've had the orange peel chicken and Mongolian Beef. Both were great. I ordered the pot stickers and the wrapper appeared to look a little soggy, but they were very good. Last but not least the Sesame balls were excellent ..great flavor and texture. It is hard to find places that have Sesame balls around here. I will definitely be going back. read more

Restaurant Review: A Flavorful Feast Worth Returning To From the moment I walked into this gem of a restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water, and the food. Absolutely divine. The Seafood Chow Fun was a standout--flat rice noodles perfectly stir-fried to a silky chew, with plump shrimp, tender squid, and scallops that tasted like they were caught just hours before. The dish was delicately seasoned, allowing the oceanic flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate. Then came the Twice Cooked Pork and let me tell you: this dish means business. Slices of pork belly, first boiled for tenderness and then wok-fried to crisp perfection, came tossed in a spicy bean paste with vibrant leeks and peppers. It struck that glorious balance between richness and fire that keeps you reaching for just one more bite. And for the vegetarians (or anyone with great taste), the Kung Pao Tofu was nothing short of addictive. Crispy tofu cubes enveloped in a sweet-spicy glaze, studded with roasted peanuts and chili peppers that provided just enough kick to keep things interesting. The service was warm, the ambiance cozy, and every dish was a celebration of bold flavors and thoughtful preparation. If you're craving comfort with a twist of culinary read more

Fabulous food and super fast service. Prices is very reasonable .. I will come here often...

There menu is unbeatable and there location is is pretty convenient. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes Asian food.

Great food! It is so fresh and the prices are great. I had the orange peel chicken and it was phenomenal. I highly recommend!

I do not know how this new chinese restaurant received high ratings because our dinner last night was horrible. The noodles were limp, the fried rice had zero vegetables in it, and the overall dinner had zero flavor. I could not believe I said this, but as I was taking bites of this food, I thought Panda Express is better than this!! I do not recommend this place, I will never come back here again, and I will be going back to Panda. read more

I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp and the house chow mein both were delicious..... It's hard for me to find a salt and pepper shrimp that is spicy and this was it was really good, enough spice and garlic, quick service wasn't too busy..... nice and clean. I liked it definitely going back. read more

Loved the food. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Used to be Egg Roll King but it is now Chop stix.

New owners or New Chef, I don't know, but the food was amazing! Tasted Freshly prepared!
