Ok Chinese food. Their price is definitely higher than typical Chinese take out. I ordered food over the phone and it was ready in 15 minutes. I got chicken tso. It was spicier than I expected. And also this is the first time I saw red pepper in chicken tso. The potion is same as other Chinese place. They have dining tables if you want to sit down. May not come back here due to the price. read more

Ordered take-out from Chopsticks at 2pm today. It was ready well before the 30 minutes allocated by their website. Chopsticks had included a fork, napkins and the small packets of sauces without being asked. When I arrived at my hotel room and opened the weighted take-out bag, I was surprised to see a large bowl instead of the usual cardboard box for my Szechuan chicken. The accompanying rice was in a box though. The Szechuan chicken was super-hot in temperature and extra spicy as ordered. Normally, when you ask for extra spicy the restaurants are fearful to actually make it so. Maybe it was the double extra, extra that clued them in. But it normally does not work for others. The Szechuan chicken had a lot of vegetables (green/red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, baby corn cobs) that make me feel better about eating Chinese food. The vegetables were not only abundant but fresh looking and cooked thoroughly. There was also plenty of white strips of chicken to enjoy with all those vegetables. My only negative was that for it to be that piping hot, it had to be microwaved. Not sure if it was done in a wok earlier and then reheated, but that is my assumption. I am in search of good egg rolls. I travel frequently and like to try different Chinese restaurants in different cities across the U.S. Good egg rolls are very difficult to find. They are either too greasy, insufficient filling, or just lacking flavor. These were not greasy at all. So not greasy I found myself wondering if they used a convection oven/ air fry oven. A+ for that, but C grade for the filling. The filling did not have much flavor overall and with the shell being dry, the filling needed moisture. Oh well, the search continues. They do have seating for around 50 people and it appeared clean from my brief exposure to the restaurant. The woman at the counter was friendly and spoke perfect English. The price for the food was fine, not too expensive and not cheap. I would return to Chopsticks to try out other items next time I am in Rochester. read more

Excellent Chinese food which was a pleasant surprise for the area. Very good service and great people. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area - recommend the beef chow fun, sautéed fish with ginger scallion and beef brisket noodle soup read more

I was in the area and was recommended this place. I liked it. I had the Wonton Soup, it was ok. The broth had flavor with two wonton. No green onion or any greenery or shredded roast pork. The Shrimp Spring Rolls, crispy, mostly vegetables stuffed. The Roast Pork over Rice was the best. Thinly sliced Siu Yuk over Rice and some vegetables. The meat was tender and tasty. The rice had some hidden Sauce from the pork and it was delicious. Whenever I want to East Roast Pork Cantonese style I'll come here. Service was attentive and prompt. read more

Just arrived to Rochester NY... searching for comfort food and stumbled into this Chinese restaurant across our hotel. Pleasantly surprised with the food. We ordered curry chicken and eggplant with garlic, egg roll and wonton soup. With fried rice. Food looked appetizing and delicious. Service was awesome, Connie was very friendly and accommodating. Ambiance ... what can I say, it's simple clean and modestly decorated. I like that it's not too much wall hangings. Tables were neat and clean. Music was melodic and subtle giving you a feeling of China. Check out the pictures... we devoured the delicious food. read more

Very unassuming location tucked behind Delmonico and TGIF giants- you wouldn't see it coming down East Henrietta. Chopsticks reminds me of someone's kitchen- very homey feeling, which I think adds to the humble and authenticity of its food. I am always wary when places look too decorated and stereotypical Chinese buffet style. Food portions large and reasonably priced. Some items you'd think would be cheaper like scallion pancakes but if you order any of the rice plates, portions are big. Service is by younger folk so they speak both Chinese and English. Customers usually Chinese. If you like noisy and club like scene, do Revolution. If you like pricy Americanized Chinese in a strange formal setting, do Red Sun. If you like acceptible Dim Sum, do Canton House. If you want good noodle soup, Han Noodle Bar with good pork buns. White Swans and Flavors Of Asia are a little fushion Chinese but still good. If you want no frills good cheap authentic Chinese eats, do Chopsticks. When you sit down, there's the paper chinese zodiac place mats, a normal menu (overwhelming if you don't know what you want or are not familiar with Chinese dishes), and a random paper menu of handwritten Chinese characters in markers. Frankly if you don't know what to get, go straight to the rice plate options. You get a good portion and a side of rice, so you don't get stuck with a giant chefs choice option. The rice platters are half the cost and more approachable. Dishes mostly authentic but you'll still find the stir fried veggies and and chop suey saucy options. Appreciate their vegetarian options though like Buddha's Delight. Get the spicy potatoes. Good spicy dish. Tofu buns were a little odd but creative. Chow fun was good and their Buddha's delight was good too. Nothing bad on their menu. Sometimes they will randomly ask if you want their green bean warm dessert. If you've never had and not used to sweet beans, may want to pass but it's super comfortable on the belly after a salty chinese meal. read more

Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant - Tofu Crispy Tofu Steamed Buns* - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

The food here is more authentic then the Chinese resturants near me. I got chicken steamed buns. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was that tangy sour soy flavor umami which balance well with the peanut dust. I also ordered the lunch special of chicken with garlic sauce with fried rice and an egg roll. You can tell a lot about a resturant by the egg roll. It was hot & the ingredients inside was crunchy and fresh. It had a nice flavor. Egg roll near me are well over cooked and mush in the middle with no real flavor. A+ on the egg rolls. My chicken with garlic sauce actually had the heat I expected. The flavor was really good. It had onions, peppers, and mushrooms. All fresh veg. My sister who doesn't like spice said it was delicious even though it was too spicy for her. But she kept eating it because it was so good. My sister got the beef lo mein. It had bean sprouts, onions, and noodles. It had a good beefy flavor and the sprouts were crispy. The meat was tender. We were pleasantly please with lunch. read more

Order of sesame chicken was very good. Fast and efficient service. Small restaurant with a seating area. Mostly takeout.

We make sure to eat here every time we visit the Rochester area. Some of the best homemade tasting Chinese food. Things to remember: closed weekends and the lunch plate special ends at 3pm on the weekdays. read more

Amazing, excellent quality food. Reminds me of the "good old days" of Chinese restaurants in the 90s, the flavor and the superior cooking really shine. Every single thing we've tried on this menu has been awesome!! read more

We ordered take out from here. It was our first visit. Hot Duck noodle soup, orange chicken, and lunch combo of cashew chicken with wonton soup and an order of pork egg rolls. The food was packed in a berry flat which made it hard to fit into the car but all traveled well. Overall food was flavorful but to garlicky. Everything left a garlic after taste. Small seating area inside the restaurant which is not fancy or particularly comfy looking. The service was fast and everything was hot. They get a 4 because the food was fresh hot and quickly preserved. Just not to our liking read more

Great food! , it's a small place but they really do a good job making this food . Don't listen to the lady about the review about her wine! This food is great and prepared well. You get what you pay for not just a tiny plate too. I ordered the general Tso's and it tastes great! read more

Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken* - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

I had no idea this restaurant was located in this large plaza that I drive past all the time. Unassuming and to the side, it is a whole in the wall place. We were immediately seated upon arrival (bonus points for lots of ice in the water). Menu is standard but a bit pricey (I believe it does reflect the rising price of gas, groceries, and overall inflation right now). I tried three dishes (beef brisket in brown sauce noodle soup, chef's special szechuan style fish filet and happy family). The beef brisket noodle soup ($15) was a bit pricier than I was expecting, but portion was huge! The beef brisket was generously portioned, tender and flavorful. The soup base was a bit disappointing (more so a soy sauce and oil flavor and less spice). The chef's special szechuan style fish was decent; it was more in a soupy base than a spicy oily base though and I wish there was a bit more mustard greens in it. The Happy Family was tasty but had much more meat that seafood. It also came in a brown sauce rather than the clear sauce I'm used to but I enjoyed the flavor. Overall, I would come back for its convenience. read more

This was close to my hotel on a stormy night so I stopped in. The hostess helped me choose off a varied menu--she pointed me towards the Thai items. I asked about the specific dish and again she helped me choose. I got a basil shrimp Thai dish that was fabulous--full of high quality vegetables, loaded with shrimp--the best Thai food I've had in a long time. Yes, the ambience is casual but the front door was open, letting in fresh air. I felt comfortable eating there. Very friendly staff. I would eat there again in a heart beat. I wasn't expecting such a first class food experience--what a delight! read more

This is literally the best Legit Chinese food in town. Recommend dishes: Cumin Lamb, Hot & Soul Soup, Spicy Shrimp (jus ask for the legit Chinese one with fried shell), Sha-Cha Beef, Fried Pork Ribs. Cumin lamb is the bomb, they never miss. Their price is also very affordable. Their setting might not be fancy but i luv their homey vibe. read more

Great Chinese Food! Had large order of takeout and everyone loved it. Highly recommend

Grabbed a quick dinner after a visit to nearby Costco. Beef chow fun and hot and sour soup. The soup was delicious with just the right amount of heat. The chow fun was also really good, beef was tender with a nice sauce. Only reason not 5 stars is the serving size was a bit on the small size for the price paid. I'll definitely be back, though, because they had an extensive menu. read more

Lorena Bobbitt owns this place. Of course, she named it after her tendency to "chop sticks" off anybody that wrongs her. More power to her. I do believe they re-attached aforementioned stick to her ex husband and then he went into adult movies. I do believe the reason for the "severing of ties" and "chopping of sticks" was spousal abuse. It's a pretty strange world, isn't it. What to get: anything off the authentic Cantonese menu. I didn't absolutely love the food here, I asked what the best Cantonese soup was and they recommended the Beef w/noodles, so I went for that, and despite asking for it to be extra extra spicy it was pretty bland. The noodles were just okay, there was a bunch of grizzly fatty beef that tasted just okay, and a few nice green veggies mixed in there. It wasn't spicy at all. On the other hand, I do think it's great that there's a place selling authentic Chinese food in these parts, and you should go and check it out for yourself because you might find some much more delicious authentic dishes on their menu than I did. I'd avoid the broths just because to me they're a little bland, but I'd definitely try something else another time. What's more, the prices are good (well under $10) and the portions are huge (I still have three quarters of my meal in the fridge and I got pretty full off the quarter I ate), and the customer service is really lovely. The kid working here is a very nice kid... it's comfortable and clean inside... the waiting of tables if you eat in is really lovely. And they had no problem with me using outlets, which after just getting yelled at for the same thing at People's Choice, made a nice change. Take advantage of, and enjoy, one of the few authentic Chinese options in the 585 or indeed, in Western NY. It's not on the level of 716's equivalent (Peking Quick One), but for authenticity, excellent service, price, portion size, this place gets a thumbs up from me. read more

Was craving Chinese for lunch and decided to try Chopsticks. Walked in ordered the sesame chicken lunch special with an egg roll and an order of pork fried rice and was out with my food in under 10 minutes, which was great. Got back to the office and dug right in. The sesame chicken was good, but nothing that special. The fried rice included with the lunch was blah at best and the egg roll really wasn't that good. All that said, the pork fried rice was really good, worth going back for, so I will probably give this place another try and order something else. read more

I've been on the hunt for some great Chinese takeout in the Rochester area for almost a year now. I searched yelp far and wide and came across this small takeout - Chopstix. According to reviewers, this place offers authentic fare as well as 'Americanized' items. We were both pleased with our meals. I tried the garlic shrimp and my husband had the General Taos chicken. The serving sizes were large and my leftovers the next day were very flavorful. I have a feeling that our experience would have been better if we'd ordered the chef's specials. We got our food to go, but noticed several college students hanging out within the restaurant. The atmosphere leaves much to be desired and I personally wouldn't feel comfortable dining in - as this was simply "not my cup of tea." Overall, I'd say the food was solid although, I don't have an urge to go back. read more

Wow, a quick dinner... The best crispy sesame chicken I've ever had and my wife's special lo mein, just as good. That this no frills, low service, frugal to the extreme restaurant attracts authentic Chinese foodies is a testament to the validity of my impression of our entrees. 5 stars for the food, 0 stars for cleanliness although that's not to be construed as an indictment of the kitchen, which I didn't see. Might I suggest a call to Stanley Steemer? read more

This restaurant is a shit. Garbage food and extremely bad service. NEVER GO THERE It's impossible to find such a terrible place in Rochester. If u want other Chinese food, don't go here. It'll make u life suck if u eats here read more

They do a lot of take out here. When I dined here last that was primarily the reason folks were coming in and out of the restaurant - picking up their take out orders. It's a good option for dinner if you're in the area. It's never been too crowded. They have a couple tables and ~5 booths. I liked the dumplings, which were pan fried with a little crisp brown on the dough. I've also had the Chinese broccoli and beef for an entree. It's savory and the beef is tender and slightly caramelized. read more

hey I am from the bay area, and coming to Rochester is was hard for me because of the food selection. But if you are craving for Cantonese style take out this is the spot. this place tends to serve both the Americans and Chinese which they do it so well. Since Rochester is so small every time I go I feel so welcome, enrich the experience of ordering the food. Every time I go I strictly go for the back menu, that where the Chinese food its at. If you plan to go for lunch, get the roast pork over rice, read more

In all honestly, if this restaurant was in the middle of Chinatown in Manhattan, San Fran, or a closer city like Toronto, it wouldn't last fifteen minutes. However, since it's in the Chinese food hinderland that is Rochacha, Chopstix gets a high rating because it seems like the only Chinese restaurant around that tries to get it right. Chopsitx does have the Chinese-American take-out cuisine, but you'd be missing a lot if you didn't go to the "back of the menu", which contains a bunch of Hong Kong-style dishes. They have roast duck, chicken, and barbequed pork with rice. Plus they have other rice/noodle dishes like Singapore chow mei fun, shrimp with scrambled eggs on rice, and the more ubiquitous beef chow fun. The dim sum there isn't all that great and I think there's probably a better place or two around. If you can't make it out to New York City or Toronto, this can hold you over. It's definitely by far not the greatest Chinese restaurant I've been to but it's a lot better than any place around. read more

I walked in with low expectations, but came out pleasantly surprised. Admittedly, I am a Chinese food snob who usually waits until i'm back in Toronto for Chinese food. Somehow Chopsticks has made it into my take-out rotation (yes, I get take-out a lot). With that said, I've ordered the same dishes every time: Beef Chow Fun and Stir Fry Green Beans with Black Bean sauce. Two staples in Cantonese cuisine that I have grown up eating. Out of all the Chinese restaurants in Rochester, Chopsticks does these dishes the best. I've had similar, but more forgettable dishes at Han Noodle Bar and Chen's Garden. The stir fry wok flavor really shines here. The same "wok hay" that was missing at my Han Noodle's visit was ever so plentiful at Chopsticks. They manage to achieve a lot of flavor without being too oily or salty. Portions and prices are reasonable. I imagine their other stir fry dishes should be good as well. For now, I haven't found the need to experiment - I really like these two dishes! Some of my friends ordered more "Americanized" dishes (ie. chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli) and weren't as impressed as I was with my dish. So like others have said, "order from the back page" is probably a good tip. 3.5 stars read more

It's not wow! Change my world kind of Chinese food, but definitely sets some kind of standard for other Chinese restaurants around town. Good prices for good size servings. I always have leftovers to have lunch the next day. Also, beef noodle soup remains one of my favorite. If you get a combo plate, their fried rice is also really good. I don't like the fact that many of the soups taste like each other. I'm pretty sure my beef noodle soup and wonton soup were the same broth. It's old, but not very unique in that sense. Never dined in. read more

Very good food, wish I could get a glass of wine while waiting. Too bad not open on the weekend. My favorite is the chicken orange.

Chopsticks or Chopstix? What's in a name? Whatever the name is, I'm glad I checked Yelp out the other night while I waited to pick my daughter up from MCC. I knew she would be hungry after a long day of school , drivers ED and SAT prep class. I read the reviews and popped over to Chopstix (or Chopsticks) after I picked her up. My daughter loves Chinese food, especially Sesame Chicken. Her favorites so far have been Ming's, Chen Garden and Royal Wok (in Victor). I can now add Chopstix (or Chopsticks?) to the shortlist. Not her favorite, but it was, in her words, Koala-Tea. Service was fast! When we arrived home with our food everything was still piping hot. Will keep this restaurant in mind for future reference! read more
