Celebrated my birthday here. Food was okay but not at all what I had expected. I'm not quite ready to completely disown the place but I'm not quite motivated to visit it again either. Asian food is 50-75% of my weekly diet. I'm quite obsessed with it. I felt like a lot of the ingredients used in the food here were cheap and lacked authentic flavors. Perhaps it was just bad picks on our part. We got: Chicken pho Crab wontons Shrimp w/ Mixed vegetables Pad Thai Sake sampler And some other things I don't really remember (I was with a large party) The service was okay as far as following our needs but the mood was kind of depressing. The whole restaurant seemed depressing. Again... it could've just been a bad day. If I decide at any point to visit again I will be sure to update my review. For now 3 stars will have to do. One star: for timing everything fairly well Two stars: for maintaining refills and clearing plates Three stars: for edible food read more

Skip to the end if you don't want to read this long review :) This restaurant is good if you want chinese/asian-american food, but not real asian food. First time eating here. The outside looked nice. They have a patio for customers to eat outside. I was confused when I walked in, because I didn't know if I was suppose to wait for someone to seat us, but then I saw a sign that said "please seat yourself". (usually, you're greeted when you walk in) I sat down with my boyfriend, and waited for someone to walk over to hand us menus or something. (We were so confused) A moment later, a waiter came by and greeted us, and told us "sorry for the wait". He handed us menus and asked us what to drink. It didn't take long for him to come back with our drinks. I also noticed that they have vegetarian options on the menu, which is a good option. For our appetizer we tried the crab rangoon and calamari. The calamari was really oily, so I didn't eat much of it, and the crab rangoon just tasted like cream cheese in a wonton with little/no crab. Both of our appetizers came with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. I ordered a pad see ew with chicken and vegetables. The carrots were cut too big (not a fan of carrots anyways), and the noodles were chewy, like they weren't cooked long enough. I didn't like how the chinese cabbage (bok choy) only had the stem part but not the leaf part (just my preference). Overall three stars, because slow service (my boyfriend said all the workers were in the back socializing, maybe that's why the waiter took a while). Food was okay. **Random but... we saw this couple came in and sat themselves near the door, but they left after a couple minutes because no one came to serve them. -bad service read more

This was one of the worst Asian food restaurant I've been to. Worst than Chinese buffets even. I don't mean to be harsh, but all 4 of our entree dishes were unimpressive or inedible. The wait service was very nice though. It was busy even though the food is terrible. Mainly Caucasian customers. My table had 1 Vietnamese, 2 Taiwanese, 1 Caucasian. We were all disappointed and sad we came here. The establishment looked DIRTY!!!! When I pulled out a chair to sit down, there were all these nasty brown stains on it. It made me very queasy and uncomfortable sitting down. Most of the time sitting, I kept thinking of how dirty my jeans were going to be and how gross I felt. Ordered sesame chicken. This in no way resembled the sweet taste of sesame chx. And I never knew this dish could even be screwed up so terribly. It was very soy saucy salty tasting. I asked for no veggies. They said they could not do that because the breading or chicken was premixed with the veggies???? Wth....! When the dish came out, it was not clumped together where it could have been "no veggies." Basically I think they just want to charge you for half a plate of fried vegetables, less meat. My husband had pad see eww. Very Ewww if I may say so. That is my #1 go to dish. But when I read the description, I already knew it wasn't authentic and would taste terrible. So he ordered it. And guess what... I was correct! In fact our entire table just looked at the dish and said... What is that??! That's not pad see eww.... It looked like dried up linguini noodle (not even the regular authentic flat noodles) that were slightly brown from straight up soy sauce. It did not have that sweet light soy sauce taste. And the noodles were so dried and hard it was beyond al dente. Like old noodles left out of water and not sealed up to contain it's moisture. Needless to say, we ate less than 1/4 of our dishes. Rice soup was less than okay. You think a restaurant could not screw up rice soup. But they did. It was suppose to be a safe dish. It turned out to be a blegh dish. The only thing I could enjoy was the crab Rangoon. It had a good dipping sauce. And thank goodness they didn't mess up the simple crab and cream cheese as the filling. We are definitely trying anywhere else but here next time!!!! read more

This was my first time here. Came in before the dinner rush and there were plenty of table choices. Per the "Please Seat Yourself" sign. The atmosphere is laid back and has comfortable seats. The server (Conner) was patient and answered all of my questions. He checked on us regularly and kept our beverage glasses full. The sushi was good, they cut my sushi thin per my request, and it still looked good as well as held together. The only complaint was that I ordered spicy and it was not spicy to me, but of course I like spicy. Connor did offer to bring me some spicy mayo but I asked for the spicy sesame oil instead, which was a yummy addition. I only gave them a 4 star because of the appearance of inside the Resturant and ladies bathroom. The tables are uneven, which match the floors and the antique dresser in the ladies room looks like it can tip over anytime. The sign out front stated "Fine Asian Dining" but the inside looks like a surf hut. If you do not mind "relaxed" Asian dining, the food and the presentation of the food is really good. Plus Conner is Awesome! read more

Mr Chopsticks - The tofu Teriyaki rice bowl was delicious - Chinese Near Me - Denton, Texas

Food has always been fresh here, and the sushi is delicious (particularly for the price). For you vegans and vegetarians, this is a fantastic spot to try as they are very conscious of dietary needs. If you're a tea drinker, they've got some great loose-leaf options for your post-dinner conversation. My favorite is the oolong! Portions are plentiful, they've got the classic Americanized Chinese plates, as well as quite a few curries and Thai-based dishes. Mr. Chopsticks is what I would consider a classic Denton restaurant: it's delicious, but as a hippie/college town eatery, it suffers slightly from spotty service. I've had perfectly fantastic servers here who I adore, and some who...were a little off the game. Atmosphere is certainly not elegant, but it's great for a casual date night before you head to the movies, to the Denton Square, or maybe to Beth Marie's for some ice cream. Long-story short, go to Mr. Chops, try something fun, and enjoy yourself even if it's a little left of your normal life. It's worth an adventure into this quirky dive. read more

Mr Chopsticks - Chirashi with salmon - Chinese Near Me - Denton, Texas

Had the crab rangoon and a lettuce wrap with chicken. Wish the rangoon would have had more filling in it. The sauce combination with it was just right. The lettuce and chicken were fresh and very tasteful. Service was good and quick. Would definitely come back. read more

We've eaten there many times inside the restaurant and their patio the food is always been good we've been going there for many years I love the food staff is very friendly and happy I've never had a bad experience at this place read more

I'm not exaggerating, the food is not good here. It's one thing for for the food to be bland and flavorless, it's another when it's literally cold. I ordered a Pad See Ew and vegetables were at least cooked and hot but the chicken and noodles were cold. I am not a food expert and I don't ever write reviews but paying $15 for a meal that was actually disgusting is crazy. read more

Food was below average. Pad Thai was pretty bland. Sushi wasn't great. Service was ok, but no one really seemed too happy to be there. :( On the plus side, the egg drop soup tasted pretty good. All in all, we wouldn't go again. read more

Simply okay. I order the calamari as an appetizer. It was the best price I've ever seen for calamari (around $5.00) but it was super greasy. Still, not bad. For an entree I ordered Kung Pao Chicken- my go to at any Chinese restaurant. It was alright, but came out lukewarm like it had been sitting around for awhile. I might go back... if I'm desperate for Chinese food that is. read more

This is my all time favorite Chinese eatery. I've been eating here since 1990. Same owner, different location. If you're used to it being on Oak down the street from the UNT Language Building, don't dispair! They're just a couple of blocks away off Jagoe, now. When I first transferred to UNT, I pulled out the phone book (back when everyone used those things!) and each evening for my first month or so there, I ended up getting something to go at every Chinese eatery in Denton. I fell in love with Mr. Chopsticks. The food is great and the offerings continue to increase. They now have beer and made to order sushi. They make the wasabi on site - and it is POWERFUL. The first time I put some in my mouth, tears fell out of my eyes and all my blackheads fell out. I'm telling you - it's strong... so dilute it a bit with soy sauce or you may be shocked into another dimension for a few moments. The place is staffed with mostly college students who do a really good job, but you seat yourself and if you're by yourself, you might go unnoticed for a very long time. If you don't get anyone to make eye contact with you, you might have to grab someone and let them know that no one is helping you. Once you get a waiter or waitress, though - they do a fine job. There are only a few spots with padded booths. Lots of seating and tables are not fixed - so you can group them together easily if you have a large party with you. There is also dining available outside. On my most recent visit, the waitress talked me into trying the new Taro Custard. I don't even like dessert as a rule... I'm not into things that are overly sweet... but that Taro Custard is the bomb-diggety! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! When she said 'custard' - I was picturing something more like pudding. Instead, it's more like a sponge cage - but OMG! I almost licked the plate. I will be getting that every time I visit from now on. It looks like a boring brown square - but it is delicious! Try it! With Chinese fare, I tend to prefer vegetarian dishes, and of those my favorite have been Veggie Delight and Sesame Vegetable with Fried Tofu. I also get their large meal-sized soups... very good stuff and like everything at Chopsticks, you can customize it. If you don't ask them to remove the tails, your shrimp will have tails - which is weird in a soup. I've been told some people eat the tails - which to me would be like eating a plastic fork, followed by eating all of your toenails - but OK... people like to eat shrimp tails. If you don't and don't want to scald your hands trying to yank the tails off of piping hot shrimp from your soup - ask for it sans tails. I always ask for extra mushrooms and always get them - and at no extra charge. The hot green tea is served with a kettle so you can serve yourself several servings. Chopsticks are of course available as is low-sodium soy if you ask for it. LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr. Chopsticks. LOVE! read more

Normally one of my favorite places. In fact it's a comfort food place for me and one of my best friends. But this time I brought my grandparents after a near by doctor visit. My food came out with only some of it being warm. The top layer of food was cold, and the sauce had already started congealing on the bottom of the plate. My grandparents soup was only like warm and they forgot to bring out our appetizers. Again this is not normal service for this restaurant read more

Had to wait for 10 min in drive thru. Walked in and dealt with bad service. Food wasn't ready as indicated in email confirmation. Quality has gone down and prices have gone up. Very disappointed. Tried calling and nobody answered any phone line. Bad customer service. read more

I'm so amazingly disappointed. Last time was bad, but everyone has an off day so we brushed it off. This time, though... We called our order in for pickup. 15-20 minutes we were told. No worries, we live 10 minutes away. We watch a 2 minute youtube video, gear up for the weather and have a casual drive over, right on time. As we pull up, I see a bowl of soup and a Styrofoam container sitting on a rack next to the window. I think "ah, our soup and potstickers." Surely our food must be nearly ready. We paid and waited. I noted the time. 15 minutes passed. As the guy bagged our food, he grabbed the soup and Styrofoam container that had been sitting there. As the man handed the bag to me I asked him for a moment of his time. He shut the window. Maybe he didn't hear me; I can't assume malice. The potstickers were cold. The miso was so salty and concentrated that we boiled some water in a 50:50 mix and then it was fine. The entrees were as good as we'd expected. If they had been slammed, I could brush it off, but this was a repeat bad performance and it's really demoralizing sitting hungry as your food cools 4 feet away. read more

I like that you can call in an order and just drive up and grab it. Probably not the best sushi in town..but not bad either. Their dumplings are good. Awesome eggs rolls! They have taro pie(or cake? I dunno) dessert which is amazing. Good place! Try it. read more

I took my boyfriend here on Wednesday night, 4-25-2018 and we were served by Emily. We sat at a table where I has a limited view of the kitchen and this was eye opening to say the least. I saw Emily reach into food containers with HER BARE HANDS several times to get for to put on plates and bowls. Another employee was standing next to her and nothing was said to Emily when she did this so I suspect this is a common practice here or both of those employees do this regularly. I wonder if she has a current food handler certificate. I was disgusted. That being said, the food was great. But that image of her doing that for other people's food just turned my stomach hence the low rating. read more

Most of the food was pretty good. The sautéed green beans were way too salty. I ordered the combination #3 which was crab rangoon, shrimp tempura, rice, and green beans. I also ordered some California rolls. The service could've been better. read more

Meh. It's not really a spot for the non college adult... it's quite overpriced, the food is greasy, and definitely not the best taste or quality. I would strongly encourage more inspections and hygiene standard improvements. Staff are not receptive to questions or requests. There are better options in Denton. Remember, this is all subjective. No need to fling abuse at me for an opinion. read more

Cute l place and the sweetest wait staff. Good food for the price. Also love Their almond cookies for just a dollar each!!!

I love the pho soup and is my favorite soup ever. Mr chop sticks is my favorite restaurant and I've been to it 5+ times.

I've been to this place a couple of times now and every time has been really enjoyable! The atmosphere is really chill and cozy and I love that it's a seat yourself place. This last time me and my friend went the waiter came quickly to our table and was super nice! Also the teriyaki chicken bowl was really good and was served relatively quickly! I've also had sushi here before and it was awesome! I definitely recommend coming here if you like Asian food and are in Denton! read more

Fresh ingredients in their Delicious lo mein! We always include it in our order. Great place.

Overall they get a 3. The food had a good flavor, but I got noodles and they felt like the kind from out of a box and not cooked all the way. The appetizer came when the food did and my soup was forgotten and came at the end. The service on a Sunday at 2:30 was incredibly slow. They had open tables so they were not hustle and bustle busy. Our food came out about 30 minutes after ordering. Again overall it was fine/good, but not worth coming again. I've been waiting for about 20 minutes just for the check to come out as I write this review. read more

Great soup. I was sick & needed soup. The broth was so good. Love Mr. Chopsticks!!!!!

I've been living in Denton for about 7 months now and Mr. Chopsticks is right down the street from me and I'm a sucker for Chinese food so I tried them out- Their chicken egg rolls are the best thing I've ever had, and they're so addictive. I also love their orange chicken and sesame chicken dishes. I also enjoy their salmon roll. A few things I'm not a fan of, is ordering it to go. For whatever reason it just doesn't taste the same to me when I order to go. If I order it to go I'll usually just get their egg rolls and salmon roll, but not any of their main dishes. There's been a few times when I've dined in and my food was already semi cold. I don't think that's the fault of the chef, I blame it on the waitstaff. My issue with that is that the times I've eaten in the restaurant, the waitstaff are not attentive, they don't get the order right 100% of the time, and they all sit at a table in the back and spend most of that time on their phones when I'm sitting there with a empty drink glass, and not get checked on for 15-20 minutes at a time. read more

STILL great food STILL great service Best eggdrop soup ever. Have never had anything bad here. Not sure where people are getting these price issues. We did three meals AND the sake sampler and it was only $35. Good luck beating that without going fastfood. 20+ years and still our favorite. read more

Did a takeout order of pad Thai with chicken and shrimp and some miso soup. Price was fair and reasonable. The restraint was very busy which is always a good sign. The pad Thai was so so. I really enjoyed the soup. My ONLY complaint was they forgot my spoon for the soup. I was staying in a hotel and had to improvise. Other than than pleasurable experience...4 stars! read more

I can't give it a five star because I don't eat enough Asian food to compare, however I can't say anything negative about this awesome little spot. Even when it's busy it's never feeling too crowded and our waiter was amaze-balls. His name is James. I asked about favorites and what was good he was patient, attentive and super helpful. We ordered appetizers, a drink and 3 entrees and our bill was still under $50. The combination rice was light and the taste was amazing. The egg foo yong was a large portion and the Mongolian chicken was delish. Crab Rangoon was very yummy and not to overpriced. The restaurant itself was clean and neat but also comfortable and unique. Some very nice art pieces as well by the back seating. I had a really great experience and will be back. read more

Service was really lacking. My friends who have been here on multiple occasions say it is usually better so maybe it was just an off night, but I think the most hospitable thing I got was when a guy from the kitchen said bye to us as we left. Our server was really slow and never checked back on us. The fastest he got to our table was to bus it. I enjoyed the pork potstickers, and the egg drop soup was delicious. The sushi (crawfish roll and eel roll) was average. It met my expectations, no more, no less. Have definitely had better but that was to be expected considering this isn't primarily a sushi joint. read more

Mr Chopsticks - Eel and Crawfish Rolls - Chinese Near Me - Denton, Texas

The food is very good and we've been regular customers for well over the past decade but now has become very expensive! Be forewarned as their prices just recently jumped considerably. Our bill was around 25-30% higher than our previous visit in March 2022. On top of this, we've had some very questionable service where almost all our orders were incorrect and at least one time where not all members of our party were served at the same time. Their prices make Mr. Chopsticks more of a special occasion than a regular thing. read more

69/10 would recommend I've been coming here for years and get the same thing Plus, I could drown myself in the teriyaki sauce read more

A good place for college kids. This place has several different types of Asian food, so take your pick, the menu is huge. I believe because the menu is so vast, the food is all kind of average at best. However being close to a college campus, it has a good price point and if you come with lots of friends, everyone is bound to find something they want. What I don't like there is no WiFi. If it had WiFi, it would truly be a great college kid restaurant. read more

This place is a little jem. The crispy seaweed is amazing. My favorite dish is the sesame tofu.

Our experience was horrible. We came on a lunch break from a school bus re-certification class. We had a 30 minute SHARP time line. When we ordered the woman that took our order told us it would be ready in 3 minutes. 10 minutes later I asked if our order was ready. She said they that they got busy. NOT my problem... I finally 20 mins. Later we said we had to go...she stood there holding a bag telling me why this was not there fault. I asked if that was my bag she was holding and she said yes it was. So I said not only is my food 20 minutes late but you are making me more late, so you can stand there and argue with a Customer. Her response was well I was going get you silverware but here and handed me my food with no eating utensils. We were 11 minutes late and it cost us to have to make up and hour of our class at $30.00 each. read more

Used to be my favorite go-to but it's definitely gone down hill. The cuts of meat are not good, the flavor isn't good, and some things, such as the peanut sauce, taste like chemicals. read more

I went for lunch today. Tried not to notice that it wasn't very clean and looked like it hadn't been updated in a long long time. I ordered the temporary chicken. It wasn't bad.
