    Salt and pepper shrimp
    KC C.

    Chopstick Express Food to Go is the perfect spot if you're looking for a quick and convenient meal. This is strictly a takeout joint--there's no seating, but that's ok, generous portions of food to go. We ordered the honey garlic pork chop, BBQ pork fried rice, BBQ pork chow mein, and salt and pepper shrimp. While the shrimp had a bit too much batter for my liking, the seasoning was spot on with a great balance of spice and flavor. The rest of the food, though decent, didn't quite stand out, but it's solid for a quick bite. The service is quick and friendly. If you're in the area and need a fast meal with large portions, Chopstick Express makes for a great local pick-up option.

    Combo A- chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork, and I subbed in white rice instead of the BBQ pork fried rice
    Felicia P.

    Quick little order and takeout place, no dine in service. I ordered the Combo A - Chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork and BBQ pork fried rice (but I subbed it for white rice). They were very quick - probably took like 4 minutes from ordering to having my food ready. Service was great. Food itself while portion of chow mein was huge, was just okay. I judge a Chinese spot by their chow mein and I felt like it was a little bland. The sweet and sour pork was only half covered in sweet n sour sauce so that threw me off, but found they just set on top of a pool of sauce, so may be a good reason to serve this way- maybe to keep pork crisp. The sweet and sour pork tasted pretty good and white rice was mediocre. I had gone here long ago but never went back - probably because New China next door is so much better, but if you need something quick and filling, this may be the spot for you. Oh and I notice they have a board with more specials that are not on their printed menu and they serve burgers and fries and pork buns too.

    I've been eating her for 35 years, it was family tradition. I haven't been here for about five years, last I came the food wasn't great, not like when I was a kid and the old guy ran the wok. When I visited today the food was awful. The prices are higher than normal too. The pork had a rotten smell, similar to garbage or old hamburger, it was also discolored and grey. The sweet and sour pork consisted of five tiny nuggets and an irony rusty tasting sauce, no onion,pepper or pineapple. It didn't even fill the side of the container. The egg roll tasted like it was weeks past its prime. Reminiscent in flavor to the smell of a garbage can, with a cheesy rotten meat taste. I had to feed it to the dogs, curious if they will throw up.... The pork fried rice had a sick sweet smell, my daughter said like soap and rotten pork, I agree. Accurate. Pork bits were grey and yellow colored, absolutely disgusting. Foil wrapped chicken was decent, and all the chicken was seemingly fresh, but the rank smelling pork ruined it all. I also saw that they're charging 0.65 for fortune cookies, everyone else gives them out as a curtesy. Further more at New World Fortune Cookie Factory you can get a bag of 50+- for like 3.00. Totally greedy. I will not return here, and that's sad because this place was a part of my family.

    So I remember back in the 80's the Brandy Fried Chicken plate was $2.50 LOL. Today it is $9 but still freaking delicious. Other than their Brandy Fried Chicken nothing else really stands out. However they do give you a lot of food at good prices.

    Salt and pepper spare ribs

    The pad Thai was good best one I've had. I loved the salt and pepper spare ribs. I didn't care for the Peking pork but my kids enjoyed it.

    We've been coming here for years and always get tomato beef chow mein and shrimp with lobster sauce over rice. Takeout only spot but don't let the name deceive you -- they're cooking up some good eats and the type of stuff that my Chinese grandparents would've eaten.

    No frills Chinese takeout place. A little more Americanized but my family has been going here for 30 years. Reasonably priced and good portions. Service is fast. It's take out only. Plenty of parking. Come here every other month or so.

    Tried this place twice in the past week and was happy with the taste and quantity of the food. I did notice that the prices changed from the end of February to March 1, 2024, so wanted to share the updated menu with prices. We ordered the Hong Kong style chow mein, black bean sauce fish, fried prawns and brandy fried chicken. My mom loved the brandy fried chicken. I thought the fried prawns were tasty but wished it had a batter instead of a breading. I liked the black bean sauce fish, it was light on the black bean flavor and had a hint of a salt and pepper flavor. The Hong Kong style chow mein noodles were nice because they were thin noodles that had some crunch to them but weren't overly crispy. A little greasy but that's not unusual for fried noodles.

    First time experiencing the menu outside of Dim Sum. Here are my notes:…read more Special Fried Rice in Claypot - Refreshing fried rice due to the addition of the cilantro. You can taste the umami from the roe and other ingredients that I am not entirely sure are but taste familiar. I enjoyed and loved it. Mapo Tofu - Firm Tofu and good sauce. Although I do enjoy more of a Sichuan-style spicy mapo tofu (with the very numbing taste), I still found this mapo tofu delicious as you can taste the flavor of the pork and sauce coating the tofu. 2 Entree BBQ Platter: Roast Duck and Empress chicken - I'm biased towards roast duck. I love roast duck so any roast duck is good to me. Not a lot of comment on the duck. However, the Empress Chicken is nicely seasoned with the whatever broth they cooked it in. One of the few Empress Chickens where I can enjoy it without the scallion-ginger oil, but the scallion-ginger oil still elevates this Chicken to a higher level. Congee with Pork and Preserved Egg - Comforting and triggers a lot of nostalgic feelings for me. I didn't have to add too much additional soy sauce or chili sauce because the congee has a great base flavor. Preserved egg and pork weren't too chunky, rice was not too "mushy", and the overall congee was in a good thickness to create a nice mouth feel for each bite. Will visit again to try the other dishes.

Drinks aren't rated, as they don't sell house cocktails (though they sell a small selection of beers and wines). All-in-all a solid menu. The dilemma is that we generally felt unwelcome. We came by on a Sunday evening at 6:30 pm (and paid and left by 8:20 pm which is 10 minutes before closing). We were a party of 8 with diverse backgrounds, and with exception to one server (a woman wearing red who was maybe a manager), the staff just weren't friendly toward us. I will say that one woman in red was so kind. She made sure to say "bye" as we left. I will add one of my friends mistakenly tried to take a pair of chopsticks (as they are set on the table in a paper slip). She didn't realize they were store owned/reusable vs throwaway. She quickly apologized, but that became the final straw of awkwardness with the staff. The food was genuinely great with appropriate prices, so I may give it another shot down the road as a date night option.

Its been so bad the past decade that we decided to give it another chance. Different management, different chefs, different everything basically. The fried flounder was so fried that I could not separate the bones, not only that, you could barely get any meat out of it. Our table had nine people and they only provided 6 buns with our peking duck. I thought they didn't have enough steamer space and was going to bring more but nope. The shrimp in their salted egg pumpkin and shrimp dishes was overcooked and their deep fried pig intestines were extremely stinky. Their portion sizes downsized like crazy and it's so bad that we didn't even finish any of the dishes. The best dish was a stir fry cauliflower dish that I could make at home. It was supposed to come with pork, but I only saw itty bitty pieces of meat. The service was also super bad and slow. I was eating their fried rice and bit on a piece of broken yellow plastic with multiple sharp points. Prior to that, I was feeding my toddler the rice so THANKFULLY it didn't go to him. When we told the server, which was an older lady with glasses and bangs, she's like oh... then she took it to the kitchen and pretended that nothing had ever happened when she came back out. Shes been there for years, and I remember seeing her when we were regulars. I wasn't expecting anything, except for some accountability. I used to love this place so it's pretty sad to see how much it went downhill.... This business needs to be scrapped. The current 3 stars is giving them too much credit and it must have been due to when they used to be good, in the past.

On my latest visit it was a very busy Sunday, but I was able to place an order for take-out and then wait in my car for the order to be ready. I ended up ordering the pork steamed rice noodle roll, the beef and cilantro steamed rice noodle roll, the garlic long beans, and the beef and mixed mushrooms. I saw a couple of other Elites dining in when I was ordering, but it was so busy I couldn't properly say hi, so "HI DAVID AND EVA!" I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

It didn't have that spicy tang that you look for when you order hot and sour soup. The potstickers were fried crispy, but the dough was a little too thick. The spicy cucumbers had no flavor to them at all. And the honey walnut shrimp was not memorable. We both felt that the two best dishes were the BBQ pork fried rice and the Mongolian beef. The beef was tender and had good flavor. The prices were extremely fair and the portions were large, but all in all this was not my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area.

    Adj: dependably and predictably ok Chinese food…read more We've been coming here for Chinese meals both sit down and take out from when they used to be Holiday Villa. That was decades ago. About 10 or so years ago, they changed ownership or rather they went through what seems like several changes and then they became Lucky Jade which is kind of a chain but not exactly. I recall at one time, the workers wear shirts that look kind of like uniforms with another store's name on the back with address and phone numbers, so apparently Lucky Jade is owned by people who also own a few other Chinese restaurants but not by the same exact name. In any case, Chinese food can be pretty formulaic, so it's not really that hard to have consistency as long as the cooks know how to make common standard dishes, the taste generally would not be too different. This is true for Lucky Jade. We had take out recently and got a chow fun, a chow mein, and a broccoli beef. The first was quite tasty, on the oily side but I've not found any place able to make it not too oily and still yummy so it's necessary for this dish. Then there's the chow mein, this one was not good. Kind of non descript and the oil tasted oil (reused). Not too greasy which is my biggest complaint of chow mein from elsewhere like New Lai Wah, but again, this did not taste fresh. Finally, the broccoli beef was overcooked. Broccoli was not quite mushy but almost, still a little bit of crunch but you can see they were turning yellow. And the beef was so chemically tenderized (hopefully only with baking soda and not worse) bc it was also almost mushy. Wasn't cheap either, but on par with other Chinese restaurants around here for take out. I think I'll just tell my in laws they can just order from Bel Air Hot Chinese food deli on Florin Rd which is in the same plaza and they'd pay less and the food would actually taste better with fresher oil (probably not reused) and better quality beef that doesn't need to be tenderized to a questionable quality. Overall, not too good.
