Okay, let me start off by saying this, Crazy Chopsticks actually has brown fried rice! Most of you who remember Chinese food from the 80s and 90s don't need me to say anything else because if you know then you know! Now here is a review for everyone else. I called ahead of placing my phone order because my order was a fairly large pickup order. The guy that answered the phone was so so nice (you know who you are... in one of the photos), lol. He wasn't in a hurry to get me off the phone and actually seemed happy that I called with questions. He answered all of my questions and even gave me some menu item suggestions. Here are a few tips, for parties or large families the restaurant offers party tray sizes. Also if you call early for large orders and let restaurant know when (what time) you need to pickup the party order they will try to have your order ready for you. They will also add bean sprouts and egg to you fried rice if you ask (do yourself a favor ASK!). Okay let's talk about the food. Let's just say Crazy Chopsticks had me when I read another post claiming that Crazy Chopsticks served good ole back in the day brown fried rice. If you really want to jump back in a Time Machine request the addition of bean sprouts and eggs to your fried rice order. Ohhhh, it was excellent! See photos! My order included a few types of fried rice chicken, shrimp and house fried rice. Flavor wise they were great especially with the bean sprouts and egg additions. The only thing I noticed was that there were smaller pieces of chicken in the chicken fried rice and not larger sizes of chicken like those in the chicken and broccoli dishes. Also the size of the shrimp are smaller for the rice and Lo-mein compared to the larger shrimp found in the other dishes like shrimp and broccoli for instance. If someone from Crazy Chopsticks reads this review consider adding green onions, bean and egg to you fried rice! Everyone should experience the retro classic fried rice! The Lo-mein was excellent also. The Lo-mein and fried rice both had that kiss of a sizzling iron wok taste. It's a special char taste. It's that special flavor like the difference between a burger cooked on a griddle and a burger that cooked on charcoal grill. They are both great but one really says Summer is here! The egg rolls and dumplings were amazing. The dumplings were perfectly cooked, the filling wasn't dry and it was well seasoned. The sauce had great flavor tangy and slightly sweet at the same time. The egg rolls were nice and crunchy and Crazy Chopsticks carries the duck sauce that has apricots in it! So extra bonus points for that. I'd love a vegetable egg roll option though (one with the wonton wrapper that is) I'm not sure if they offer one though as this also seems to be one of those phantom things from the 90s! Let's talk main dishes. The chicken and broccoli was excellent. The brown sauce is the classic salty/ umami sauce not the sweet brown sauce. The chicken was very tender and the broccoli was fresh and still had the right amount of crunchiness. The same goes for the shrimp and broccoli. The shrimp were large, fresh and clean. The shrimp egg fu yung and the vegetable egg fu yung dishes were perfectly cooked. As you can see in the photos the container had a bit of extra oil but placing the patties on paper towels before plating them helped with that. The shrimps were fresh and clean. The vegetable egg fu yung included carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms and I believe zucchini. The dish was chocked full of vegetables. The gravy had good flavor, it wasn't the sweet type of gravy. The gravy was pretty oily on top though. Once I removed the extra oil the gravy was great. The sweet and sour chicken was good also. Not overly battered like some places serve with mostly batter and barely any chicken, you know what I'm talking about. No, these had a great balance just enough batter for a crispy outside and nice juicy tender pieces of chicken on the inside. The sweet and sour sauce was unique not your typical sauce, there was a little something different in it that made it a step above most Chinese takeaways. Give it a try to see what I mean! The sesame chicken was delightful. The sauce on the sesame chicken was really good! The chicken was tender and juicy and the breading was just right not overly breaded or so hard that the chicken sounds like rocks hitting your plate. Anyone that enjoys sesame chicken will like this one. Then there's the garlic Fried Chicken wings. I believe this was their #1 seller for fried chicken. I ordered one order with sauce and one order with sauce on the side. The order with sauce was good, nice and flavorful. The chicken wings that had the sauce on the side were slightly overcooked. It's was probably just a one off situation so I wouldn't allow this to stop you from trying the wings sauce less. Let's not forget the sugar biscuits they had ju read more

I ordered the honey chicken combination plate with an egg roll and a drink, and my total came out to $13.44. On my way out I grabbed a menu and noticed the lunch price was like $3 cheaper... and I was there during lunch?? So that already threw me off. Now the food... yeah, I was disappointed The honey chicken had that weird thick, super sweet breading -- like the kind they use for sweet and sour chicken. It was giving pancake batter and not in a good way. Definitely not my vibe at all. And the egg roll?? I had high hopes because egg rolls are usually good anywhere... WRONG. The outside was hard and crispy, but the inside was just gooey and off. The ONLY thing that saved this meal was the fried rice. 10/10, no notes. Service was good. Overall, I had high hopes but this just wasn't it. read more

Finally got to try out Crazy Chopsticks after seeing it all over The Scoop, and it did not disappoint. Got the famous honey chicken wings, general Tso's chicken, and krab rangoons. Hands down the best Chinese takeout I've had in Jax so far especially now that Panda House Riverside is closed down. I called while I was around the area and was 10 minutes away. The food was ready the moment I walked in the door. The drive was 15 min home and the chicken was still crispy when I opened the box. Honey chicken wings and general Tso's were seasoned great, especially with a side of their chili oil to go with the sweetness of the wings. Star of the show was the fried rice. Finally a fried rice with charred onions and juicy pork. We'll definitely be back! read more

The shrimp fried rice was good. I generally order via DoorDash. I like their honey garlic wings and boneless spare ribs. I didn't care for the Shrimp with broccoli. The sauce was on the sweet side. read more

I've been dying to try this place since I came across it on instagram. I'm so glad I finally did! I placed an order over the phone, about 10 minutes into my twenty minute drive, and the lady that answered right away was very pleasant. My food was ready when I arrived and the guy who checked me out was also very friendly. I was there a little after 2 in the afternoon and no one else was waiting but the cooks were busy in the kitchen. When I got home, my food was still hot. I ordered honey garlic wings and vegetable fried rice. They were both delicious!! It was worth the 20 minute drive and I will return. read more

Yesterday I ordered from crazy chopsticks for the very first time. I am hooked now‼ When I called in I explained that I do not eat pork and asked if I would be able to sub something else for the pork fried rice and the pork filled egg roll. She happily said no problem and gave me options. I ended up ordering the $9.50 Lunch Vegetable Lo mein with egg fried rice and a spring roll. I also ordered the $9.50 Lunch Sweet & Sour Chicken with fried rice and a spring roll and a large egg drop soup. I have to say I am extremely impressed‼ Not greasy, great flavor, veggies crisp, and so flavorful. I think the egg drop soup is the best I have had. Can't wait to order again‼ read more

I love the Garlic wings with Fried Rice. Lomein is a bit salty, I preferred light seasoning.

Wish I could give it zero stars!!ABSOLUTELY the worst Chinese take out I've had since moving here in 1999z I read the reviews and thought how exciting it was going to be. I saw the Korean wings which I'd never had but heard that Korean Wings at the Korean wing spots were good! They were burned so hard I had to remove my dentures so I wouldn't break them. The rice was all one color and the texture of the pork was off. Wasted $30 best thing was the egg roll! STAY AWAY go to Golden Eggroll read more

I want to welcome the Grand & new Restaurant in Arlington. They opened last week. I met Summer, she is so sweet! That means a lot to me. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, clear soup, & shrimp shumai(like a dumpling). This food is the best that I've had in a very long time. I am very happy about this. They cleaned up the waiting area with comfortable couches and decor. I wish them the best success. I pray that the Delivery Driver comes back. Once in a while, when I am not feeling well, the driver delivers for me. Pros:friendly, clean, great menu, great tasting food, & great location. Cons:none. read more

The fried rice I've been longing for. I've tried several establishments in Arlington, only to find yellow rice where fried rice should be. Well the search is over. The rice here is excellent. Well seasoned including the protein. Jumbo shrimp not those baby shrimp you find everywhere else. I also ordered shumai. They were delicious as well. Service is fast. There's a sofa in the waiting area. They're strictly takeout. No tables for dining in. I actually placed a second order otw home from picking my daughter up from school because I didn't want to share. She had her own. read more

This is my second visit in 1 wk since I discovered Crazy Chopsticks. Both visits I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen because it's just so delicious and I couldn't get myself to order anything else, but there are several ramen choices and all sound great. My husband ordered the NY strip steak hibachi the first visit and loved it, said the steak was very tender and everything was delicious (except "the clear soup was a little bland"). Second visit he had the chicken katsu and reported it was delicious, crispy and flavorful with a black garlic sauce we drizzled over it with white rice was two thumbs up, also the miso soup was a better choice in his opinion. The service is great, they're quick and happy to have your business, this is a counter service take out restaurant. I'm so happy to have found this place and to recommend this neighborhood Asian ramen joint! read more

My dad and I ate at Crazy Chopsticks, they are under new management and it was fantastic! We ordered the honey garlic wings with pork fried rice (added bean sprouts) and the bourbon chicken with pork fried rice. The wings were crispy and saucy, and the rice was so flavorful. The bourbon chicken was tender, juicy, and seasoned just right; we haven't had bourbon chicken that good in a long time. The service was friendly, and eating in the restaurant made it even better. Highly recommend! read more

The new phone service is terrible. They keep you on hold forever and never come back. It also sounds like a scam because they don't know much about your business. They unfortunately caused me to not even want to order. read more

Rice was decent. Teriyaki sticks were hard as rock, pork ribs all fat and tasted terrible. Egg roll was mush. Heard good things about this place. Will never be back read more

Solid Chinese kitchen. Wonton/Egg Drop soup is tasty. Solid pork egg rolls. It's good. I will return.

I try once not impressed people are nice but food not good I rather go to Hot wok on university Blvd and Atlantic Blvd

Love it!!!! We tried this place on whim. It was the Best takeout shrimp fried rice. I will definitely be back!

The food is good for quick take out. I do love that the menu is not the same as the 10 billion take out places. Is there a central location that people order these exact same menus? Lol! Anyway, the Mei Fun was good, but I requested super spicy and there was zero heat even tho the menu had the little flame indicator. Honestly, the best part was the cashier. White guy with a beard, and while I waited he was incredibly patient and nice to some difficult rather rude customers. Even suggested a combo to a rudish woman to save her money instead of the confusing way she was ordering. We also ordered fried rice and orange chicken which was pretty good as well. They do give plenty of food, and I will be back. Based on previous reviews, I was expecting a "wow" which I didn't really get, so I am going to try again, because the place was crazy busy both walkins and orders piled up to go. Maybe it was an off night. read more
