Chopsticks House

Wow, I usually don't wright reviews but i had to for this place, BE CAREFUL!!! I ordered dinner from here, several mixed chicken dishes and egg rolls, the Rolls were overly greasy and cold in the center. The General Tao's Chicken was also very oily but the problem was when i started to eat it, i tasted something funny and even though the whole thing was drenched in orange sauce the chicken was pungent, i have never had chicken that was so strong. Thats when i realized something was wrong, i took a few pieces and cut them up, some were very dry and almost purple, the meat had gone bad and they were trying to mask it with all the orange sauce. It went straight into the trash. I woke up later that night with stomach problems throwing up and chills and sweating, i was freezing and could not get warm even though i was sweating so much. More problems developed and it took me almost 48hrs to get over my illness. I will never order from here again. And because of this horrible experience it will be a while before i eat Chinese takeout again.

My favorite Midtown Chinese delivery place recently closed down, so I’ve been looking to find another mainstay for when I get a sweet and sour chicken craving. Chopsticks House will not be it. My egg roll was so greasy that the bag it came in was flooded with oil an inch high from the bottom. The chicken was just as oily, so much so that I had to wrap each piece in a paper napkin and squeeze to get the grease out of it. For the egg roll and the chicken pieces, I went through seven napkins. I expect a certain amount of oil in something that’s fried, especially for Americanized Chinese food, but this was way beyond acceptable. They were soaking in oil from the inside out. It was clear that in their haste to get the order out quickly (it came in under 20 minutes), they did not allow the oil to drip off the fried pieces before packaging them. Seriously not good. I will say that the vegetable fried rice was tasty and the egg drop soup was adequate, which is the only reason I'm giving them two stars. I cannot, however, overlook the amount of grease that came in everything else. I feel like I gained 30 pounds from one lunch.

I ordered for 6 people, inc. myself, at the office. Order placed at 11:28, arrived by 12:11. We had a comment/request for each individual dish, including the likes of a peanut allergy, a nut allergy, no peas, adding a roll to the pick 3 rolls that roll that is not on their menu, extra hot oil on the side, and spicy mayo. We were so annoying, and each request was fulfilled with absolutely NO problems. Plus, the food was good, according to all people who ordered, from the shrimp with lobster sauce down to the sweet potato roll. Thank you; will order again for sure.

The sesame chicken did not taste like sesame and was bright red. I've never seen bright red sesame chicken before.

Pretty good for fast food Chinese. Not too greasy, and it came pretty quickly.

Too many thickeners in the sauce. It gave me a stomach ache.

Worst Chinese Food I ever had.... Wonton Soup was ehhhh, Sesame Chicken with White Meat were hard as a rock and unchewable, Pork Fried Rice was bland and flavorless. I eat Chinese once a week, I wouldnt eat here ever again!

Delivery was on time but this was the worst Chinese food I can remember having. It was fresh I suppose but it lacked the signature flavor and seasonings I expect in Chinese cuisine. It was pretty flavorless actually. The scallion pancakes were doughy, not thin and crispy. As if it couldn't get worse, they did not include fortune cookies in the delivery bag. I was looking forward to eating the cookie to have something satisfying.

Used to love them until the delivery guys harassed us for a bigger tip. Sorry but won't be ordering here anymore.

Food is decent, but the delivery was 45 minutes late! They are 1 block and 2 avenues away from me; absolutely inexcusable.

Only ordered from here based off the previous review... bland and flavorless... fried rice was a strange orange/redish color... vegetables had no distinct flavor other than being organic and various proteins all tasted like a generic meat oversauced and cooked...
