I come here all the time. Great food and great service. I would recommend them. They also will make the food according to your taste.

Takeout Dinner from Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey... My friend brought food home for us on his way home from work! He asked what I wanted for dinner. I looked at the online menu for Chopstick King and chose Snow Peas with Shrimp. It was good! It came with a side of white rice, complimentary fortune cookies, napkins, and utensils! Thank you for your efficiency! read more

Chopstick King - Snow peas and shrimp! Thanks for the free fortune cookie! - Chinese Near Me - Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey

I was in the mood for Chinese food and stumbled across this location. I called in my order of general tso shrimp. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and told the lady my name. My food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in I found myself removing a lot of the breading on the shrimp which left a bowl full of breading. When I ate, the meal was ok. Super sweet, but ok. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

See all

Food is excellent, fresh, and healthy. Our family have been going to CK for years and it has not disappointed. 5 Stars

Excellent local Chinese. The food is consistently good and the service always great. I'm a big fan of steamed wontons and they always accommodate me. read more

Great healthy choices, nicely seasoned, not too salty and always fresh. Try something out of your comfort zone. You will love this friendly family run place. Service is wonderful. They do have an area with some seats and table if you want to eat there. The kids love it. Lots to choose from and they are picky eaters. read more

I know general tso isn't even real chinese food General Tso's chicken was unheard of in Hunan, but was invented as an authentic dish in honor of Hunan by Chef Peng at his restaurant in Taipei BUT Chopstick king honestly makes the best general tso i've ever had! They make it actually spicy not "commercial restaurant spicy" it's incredibly flavorful & delicious! They have all the typical items you'd see anywhere but I honestly feel in this area, they take the most care, patience & love when making their food. Living nearby, i've ventured out to the other chinese food restaurants around town, none come close to chopstick king. I am not sure about the other reviews about ownership & bland food -- if you call & ask for extra spicy or change this that or anything -- they will happily accommodate trying to give you the best chinese takeout experience. I come here at least once a week for their awesome lunch specials -- cannot wait to try some other combos as well! One quick note, the owner is such a sweet lady, she always has a smile on her face with other customers too -- and she knows to always make my dishes extra extra spicy LOL! read more

We love this place, so happy it's in our town! The best Chinese food in the area.....our son just back from LA was missing this place as in LA he said the Chinese food is quite different. He's already ordered 4 times! It"s always our go to place, clean and the best Covid procedure we have seen! No one goes in, but owner (super nice and always accommodating of preferences) takes payment and gives your order to you through a "box"" outside the window. Looking in, one can see all employees wearing masks as they cook and take orders. You are safe and so are they! A local hardworking family as well! You won't be disappointed with any dishes, the best egg foo yung anywhere I've been. We are regular customers because of the large portions lack of grease in food, fresh veggies and their boneless spare ribs rock! Highly recommend!! read more

This is my favorite place. We ordered the Seafood Cantonese Style, the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles, and the hot and sour soup. Delicious. Everything was hot, fresh and well seasoned for us. They offer a great variety. The portions were generous. Great place. Very friendly family business from what we see. The setup for take out was very unique and safe for these times. We picked up our food. Didn't know that they deliver. read more

Chopstick King in Lake Hopatcong has really good Chinese food. It is not a dine-in restaurant, although it does have 2 or 3 tables available for someone looking to grab a quick meal. The interior definitely needs a makeover, but the food is A+ for typical Chinese take-out. The entire strip mall that Chopstick King is located within was purchased by the family who owns Jefferson Diner, which is also located in that strip mall. They have given the exterior a complete face lift and have reworked the parking lot. They did a great job!! I took a star away because Chopstick King no longer offers delivery, which is a real downer for anyone living in this area since the only other place that delivers is Vinny & Son Pizza and Restaurant. read more

Why all the bad reviews? I don't think this place has the best chinese food but I thought our food was pretty darn fresh and delicious and the people working there were very friendly too. And that's saying alot. Most chinese places have some of the meanest staff working there. We came here on our way back from Pennsylvania, we ordered the szechuan beef, lobster low mein and the beef chow fun. Everything was hot, fresh and super yummy. And not super greasy like other chinese take out places. The lobster lomein was especially good. Try that. Over all, a very solid place, and people were friendly. Would definitely return if I'm in the area read more

Good food and service. They have gone out of their way to make this a very Covid responsible operation. Kudos! I love their house special fried rice and the four seasons entree. read more

All of a sudden things have turned around! A lot better than the last time I was here almost a year ago. Good place for takeout.

This is now my favorite local Chinese food that delivers. Ordered through Grubhub easily and arrived hot and fresh!! Food is delicious!! Moo shu chicken, beef and broccoli, general Taos, best boneless bbq, egg rolls, fried rice!! read more

My entire family and I got food poisoning yesterday. It was really good again recently and we loved it. Quality and food storage must be the issue. I was so sick there is no way I can go back for a very very loooooong time. It's a shame because we used to really enjoy it. read more

We were new to lake Hopatcong from Passaic county. Residents simply do not understand that this is the best Chinese food around. We went to others that w recommended and was highly disappointed. This place was wonderful. so if your looking for what Passaic county considered good Chinese food this is your place. Delicious! Deserves way more then 3 stars. read more

Always good and always pleasant..generous portions..chicken in garlic sauce the best

The food here is always fresh and very good. If you ask them to go easy on the salt and soy sauce, they will do it for you. You can always add more if you want more. You can't take it out if it is too much. This place is always my choice when I don't have time to cook when the kids have lots of activities that day. It is a much better choice than just pizza. Nice family business. I have tried almost everything that they make there and besides this is what the kids will eat. read more

Best Chinese takeout and delivery in the Lake Hopatcong / Sparta/ Mount Arlington area.

I have ordered take out from here for years considering this is in a strip mall and far from the city the food is better then most and always fresh plus the staff are always friendly and never complain about special requests. read more

Decided to give this place another try after they screwed up my order once before!! Last night they screwed up my order once again! I guess that is going to happen when you have young (10 year old) child taking your order!! The icing on the cake is we start eating our food and my daughter finds a bug in her rice!!! Never again will I go to this place. Don't bother not worth it!!! read more

Oh heck No! Absolutely the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. I was going to leave a long detailed description of how horrible everything I ordered was but it's just not worth my time. I will "never" eat there again and quite frankly, you shouldn't either! read more

Pull up, windows are all cruded up. Fingerprints, grease and who know what else. Walk in, the place is filthy! Ok, cleanliness isn't their thing. Then, I'm guessing it's the owners kids and kids friends who are working!! I'm talking maybe 12 year olds and younger. OK, maybe there is no one to watch them at home, but give them some spic and span and paper towels, clean the windows!!, don't have them taking orders and working the register. Anyway, Food oily, greasy, nothing to brag about. Possibly I'm spoiled by fabulous Chinese food and clean surroundings, but no food establishment should be so nasty. Hints: broom, mop, windex, Lysol, spic n span, etc... read more

There are some bad reviews here that are quite hollow. Like, "I went there once..." or, "I went there 2 times." or, "They have one of their kids working there!" I have ordered food from Chopstick King somewhere around 50 times now and I have never really had a problem. The only thing close was getting, what I considered, too many bean sprouts with my order. (So from now on I ask for such without, and they are happy to comply). As some others here wrote, the people there are very nice and the food is good. I must add that I find their brown sauce to be my 2nd favorite from any Chinese restaurants. *Something that people, including myself, need to remember is that with Chinese food (especially), every place is a little different and with every order. Place 'A' may have the best egg or shrimp rolls ever, but their won-ton soup is just terrible. Place 'B' may have the best won-ton soup ever but terrible egg-rolls. I am a tough critic when it comes to Chinese food, my fav' style - and with every restaurant, from the best reputation to the worst you will read the pos' and neg' reviews. They sometimes have merit, but it is most often peoples difference in taste, or that one bad experience. And there is always the story of a hair or a bug. This does not mean that it is untrue, but there is always that story w/the best or the worst. - My Mother is one of my fav' cooks; chicken, pasta, stew, cookies, etc. In my top 10 fav' dishes, my Mother makes 5 of them. One time my Mom broke a glass and she did not know it, but some of the broken glass went into the food she was preparing. She really thought that she had carefully cleaned it all - and threw out anything that even could have been touched by it. Long story shorter, I ate a tiny bit of glass. Do I give her a bad review on her yearly cooking skills? It was a ricochet oddity that could have happened to anyone. - At Chopstick King I highly recommend: Beef Chow Fun. (I ask for beef, noodles and scallions only). These 3 bits are cooked perfectly and are of great quality. I ask for those 3 in the dish only because I do not like water chestnuts or bean sprouts. I am quite picky. :) I also recommend their Chicken and broccoli. The brown sauce is great - I even try to let it sit for as long as possible so the sauce adheres to the broccoli that much more. :) Their broccoli is not right out of the fridge and thrown in like some places (many people call that - 'getting it fresh' - that is far too hard and raw for me) - its texture is right in the middle of cooked w/the sauce and still has a crunch to it. The chicken is of good quality. I have been to many places where the chicken alone made me throw it all out. The shrimp and fried rice is also great there. If you are unsure, just ask them what their favorite is. The portions are a good size as someone else typed, and the prices are fair & usually better than most. I give them 4 stars (4.5 actually). - Eric read more

Gave them a second chance and will never go back. This a small take out place. I have never seen more than two people in the place at once. It is hidden away in the corner of the shopping plaza. Even their fortune cookie was stale. read more

The place is a bit of a dive, but for takeout or delivery, these places sometimes are... The food is almost as good as typical or average. However, on one instance, I ordered chicken lo mein, and it tasted like fish. Accidents happen I guess. Update: The food has gotten better so I bumped my review to three stars. They also put up a new sign. The parking lot needs some work. Edit: They redid the parking lot. read more

The food has gotten quite a bit better, but would it really hurt to say, 'Thank You???' Their young son is as rude as can be!!!

My favorite go to place when family shows up and we have no food in the house. Great Chinese takeout. Quick and friendly service. Food is always fresh and tasty and generous portions. What my wife and I like the most is the food is never overwhelmed with salt and grease. The veggies are always nice and crispy never mushy. We just ordered several days ago for 3 adults and 2 hungry children. The bill came to a little over $40 and we were very happy and content. Everything was delicious and spot on. There was enough leftovers for my daughter to bring home a bag for her hubby. Cannot understand why some of the bad reviews. It is a small family business so some of the older children do pitch in during busy times. Please Show a little understanding and kindness for a hard working family. The child that work there mentioned in an old review is a beautiful high school teen today. read more

Food is ok, typical Chinese takeout fare, like 3/5. Service is 0/5. The kids answering the phone and taking payments are so rude. Their parents need to teach them basic manners. They talk to you and look at you like you are a bother and not the customer they rely on to stay in business. That is if they even look at you, and not completely ignore you. They're lucky they are pretty much the only choice around here. read more

Gross and not very nice get u in then out asap and uses children too do the work @ counter

Typical Chinese takeout. It's good and I've been there 4 times (so far) which speaks volumes since I'm a nervous Chinese takeout food customer. I especially like their shrimp mei fun and vegetable dumplings. read more
