Mr. Chopsticks is one of my favorite stop in Denton. I dig the food, customer service, and the hipster gazing is top notch as this is one of their natural habitats. read more

Mr Chopsticks - Chinese Near Me - Denton, Texas

See all

Eat in or take out, the food is good. The atmosphere could use a good cleaning and a facelift, but the food is consistently good. My faves are the egg rolls, sauteed green beans, and beef w/broccoli. The menu is huge, offering sushi, Chinese, and Thai dishes (vegan and vegetarian options). read more

Best Sesame Chicken ever!! I've lived in Seattle and in New York, and no other place on this hemisphere even approaches how delicious their's is. (Avoid their noodles...) read more

What can I say about Mr. Chopsticks that hasn't already been said? I'll just let you know what I've been getting for the past 7 or so years... When I'm Sick: Tom Kha Soup- a nice blend of coconut milk with the perfect blend of chicken and onions and mushrooms, with a slightly sour lemon essence that cannot be described, but keeps my sinuses at bay. When I'm hangry: Chicken or Combo fried rice. No one can replicate this amazing smoky fried rice recipe, and I mean no one. When I want something light: Spicy salmon roll, or anything from their amazing sushi menu. When I'm being vegan: Orange tofu fried over brown rice. Simple and tangy, and delicious. When I'm not being vegan: Pork over rice. BBQ and smoky flavor takes your taste buds to new heights. Amazing... I love you and always will Mr. Chopsticks. I'm sad you stopped delivering but it probably saved me a ton of money since I can't hangover call you anymore. Drive thru is a major bonus especially on late work nights when I just want to get home. read more

My favorite Asian restaurant in Denton. The menu is huge, and you can't go wrong. I have never been disappointed there. Some of my favorite crab rangoons, sushi and sesame chicken around. You can get you meal varieties if spice level as well if you like spicy. read more

I love everything about this restaurant as it caters to the college students as it is located right in the middle of 2 big colleges. They serve everything from pho to springs rolls to fresh sushi to brown/steamed/fried rice with chicken, tofu, mongolian beef/chicken or even sauteed vegetables. I tried the mongolian beef(spicy) with brown rice, and I left nothing on the plate. I must have been hungry. Everything about this restaurant is made fresh, and it's delicious. Whatever you are in the mood for, you will not be disappointed. read more

I have mixed feelings about Mr. Chopsticks, Denton's hipster staple for chinese food. I like their super-sweet Thai-tea, their service and their vegetarian options, but it always takes them forever to make the food. And sometimes it seems like they skimp on ingredients or spices. If you go be sure to avoid the rude Pringles-mustached waiter. He laughed at me once when I accidently knocked over a plant and expressed his disgust in having to sweep up the mess. read more

I'm not sure if i like this place or not. Here's my list........ 1.) Food is ok nothing special but I like it every once in a while. 2.) Staff ALWAYS looks like the need massive showers and smell. Sorry but when you look grungy I'm not sure I want you serving my food. 3.) Pretty pricey for the amount of food. 4.) Service again isn't great, slow and just very exasperated. Will not make a special trip here! read more

I've been eating here for ten years, and I still love it. I've sampled most of the things on the menu because I always order the daily special, no matter what is. I think the egg drop soup is unique: it's filed with garlic, cilantro, and yumminess. My favorite dishes are the Mongolian, the Jalapeño Pad, the Pad Thai, and basics like shrimp fried rice or sesame chicken. I don't care as much for the sushi here. I ALWAYS GET THE STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS. Always, people. They are also garlic-filled and zesty and al dente. read more

Wouldn't call this authentic Panasian food but this place certainly gets points for being probably one of the only Asian food offerings in Denton, near UNT campus and TX Presby. The food does cater to the American/Western palate and reminds me Panda Express, heavily sauced, blander/thicker/sweeter. My litmus test for Asian authenticity is typically the number of Asian patrons in the establishment. And nearly everyone was Caucasian. That being said, nearly all the tables were packed during lunch on a weekDAY, despite my personal opinion that the food was mediocre. We had to search for a booth deeper within the back of the restaurant. We tried the pad thai and stir fry shrimp lo mein. Impressed by the sizeable portions, however not so much the one-dimensional taste. Did not get hit with the twang of the lime I was expecting in the pad thai nor could I find the peanuts/bean sprouts! It was eating through a sea of thick, dark orange sauced chicken and thin rice noodles. I enjoyed the spicy kick of the stir fry, but again, reminiscent of a one-dimensional soy sauced dish. I do want to give them credit for the hipster-type environment that they played up. There was interesting cat-themed artwork by C green on the walls as well as the heavily tatooed waitresses. The open window setting was also appealing, however it seemed like the half of the restaurant near the entrance was shrouded in dark lighting. All in all, priceable for the amount, not so much the taste. read more

Oh Mr. Chopsticks.... When you do it good, you do it really good. However, my last few visits here have been, well, rather terrifying. I eventually got over the maggot in my take-out edamame (yes, I love you enough to put this aside and eat at your place again), and then I tried a dish that made me extremely grossed out. I blame that on myself I mean, sushi covered in "smelt mayo" should have been the first cue, right? And then this last time you messed up our take-out and I got really, really sick after eating my dish. I'm willing to at least give you 2 stars, and consider changing my review in the future, because you have an amazing rainbow roll. It's on par with some of the specialty sushi restaurants I've visited. Also, the staff is always friendly and does a great job. Please don't fall apart, hang in there guys! I will continue to dine at your place, but I will probably just stick to the rainbow roll this time. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Really badly, I go to UNT and I here good things about them. Plus I love supporting local businesses and their location is convenient, but I have to say I was very disappointed with my order. I decided to do takeout. I ordered sesame chicken and crab rangoons. When I came to pick up my order it was ready and the girl at the register was nice. So far no problems. In fact when I got home I was shocked at how big the takeout boxes were. This was far more than I usually expected to get out of Chinese takeout. However, I tend to prefer quality over quantity and this is where Mr Chopsticks failed. First issue: The sesame chicken was breaded (as usual) but the breading was really soggy and falling off a lot of the chicken. Second Issue: The sauce was not good. My chicken didn't taste like anything. I'm not sure if sesame chicken is just too Americanized, but this dish tasted like watered down soy sauce. Sesame chicken I've had at other restaurants (and heck, even buffets) is always nice and thick, and generally sweet. This sauce was runny and just pooled up in the bottom of the takeout box, I was essentially just eating soggy fried chicken. Third Issue: There were barely any sesame seeds, most of the chicken didn't even have any. This is sesame chicken! There needs to be sesame seeds. Fourth Issue: NO ZUCCHINI!! Their menu lists zucchini as one of the veggies, and there were none in my plate. Speaking of veggies.... Fifth Issue: Here's what Mr Chopstick says sesame chicken includes in their menu, "Choice of breaded meat or tofu, zucchini, carrot, & okra in chili-seared soy sauce topped with sesame seeds". Now when I read this I assumed that only the meat would be breaded, because what type of demon batters carrot???? In the same batter as the meat, so when you eat it it all looks like mushy battered chunks. I assumed that the listed veggies would be stir fried (because who wants battered carrots, that's nasty). So essentially not only did I get gross fried carrots and okra, and gross bland chicken- they also didn't even include zucchini, onions, or sesame seeds. Overall I was just really disappointed with this meal. I doctored up my chicken with sauces, but half of the dish was carrots and that's really disappointing (because who wants to pay $10 for battered carrots---- no one does). The crab rangoons weren't anything special, and there also wasn't much filling so it was mostly fried wanton. I gave 1 star because yelp makes you and for the portion size- if I found a dish that I actually liked and wasn't mostly carrots then this would be a great deal and could feed like 2-3 people. read more

Who knew a bunch of hipsters could make such delicious Chinese food? I always get the combination #3 with cucumber salad and fried rice. This place is so dang good. I would eat here twice a week if I could afford to. The service all depends on your waiter so it's really a coin flip, but the food is always good. Things to Get LoMein, Crab Rangoon, Fried Rice, Cucumber Salad, Vegetable Tempora, Sushi Things to Avoid The "expensive" soups read more

This place is definitely worth the money. The egg drop soup is too die for, the absolute best I have ever had and the crab rangoon are made in house. Not many places can say the same. The ginger vegetables are great as well. Overall, a great place for asian meals in Denton! read more

While not traditional Asian food, the food is still great. I've worked myself into a routine at Chopsticks and almost always go with the General Tso's Chicken (Level III spicy). If you're a fan of spicing up your food, like I am, then be sure to let them know you want it spicier. Without letting the waiter know you'll get the least spicy option, but you can ask for levels 2 and 3 as well. Just don't go to Chopsticks expecting the ordinary, it's more of an Asian fusion type experience and, while being different than the usual, is good in its own way. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review of Mr. Chopsticks yet! I've been going to this place for years. I am definitely a fan. The sushi is good. The noodle dishes (e.g., lo mein) are greasy but delicious. My personal favorite is the grilled BBQ pork. I get it any time it's on the special board. I do miss the adorable elephant shirts. I should have gotten one when they had them. :( read more

I love oriental cuisine but was not a huge fan of Mr. Chopsticks. Both times I have eaten at Mr. Chopsticks it was relatively warm in the restaurant. We were seated in the side room so that could have been why. I've tried 2 different dishes, sweet and sour chicken definitely better than the orange chicken but didn't love either of them. The egg roll, however, was really good. I heard it has had new management recently and used to be better with the original management. Overall experience was mediocre. It's a place I would never volunteer to eat at but will most likely go again in groups, which is how I have been twice already. read more

It's hard to find good Asian food in the Denton area and so I really wanted to like this place. Instead I was completely disappointed. Service was good, but the food seriously lacked flavor. I ordered what I always get when I have Chinese: General Tso's Chicken. The food came and the sauce was really watery and did not stick to the chicken at all. It overall lacked flavor and the chicken had a weird breading..a lot like chicken tenders do. Oh and I also had an order of steamed potstickers! They were also not very tasty :( I wish I could have my $13.50 back. read more

I fell in love here. Both with the food and with my husband. We would meet here many times a week for lunch after class. Then it turned in to date night dinners. This is the perfect cheap, casual place with genuinely good food. Awesome Asian beer selection too! They offer so many veggie options, the tempura is to die for. You have to try it! read more

I had high hopes for this place just looking at it from the outside one day while driving by. I've been twice now. First visit (3 days ago), I took to go and the entree (Orange chicken) was almost bland and the flavor it did have was not very good. I only finished eating it because I was hungry and I didn't want to go back out to get something else. Went back today with a co-worker, I believe in second chances. I ordered some sushi and he got some entree I don't remember the name of. He says he won't come back and I have to say I won't give it a third visit. Chairs are stained. Menus haven't been reprinted in who knows how long. Wait staff is ok with customer service. They take forever to bus/clean tables after customers are done. Price is little more than what I would pay for what it taste like but it's average price. This place got a bunch of praise for being the best in Denton in 2012 but somewhere along the lines I guess they lost it. read more

We have gone here for years and we decided to go for my dinner birthday. We waited an hour and a half for our appetizer. The hot sake was cold and the cold sushi was hot. $150 later for 4 people and I will never go back. I hope the owners get to see this. The service was terrible and it ruined an otherwise happy birthday read more

I am saddened to see all the lackuster (or bad) reviews! I eat here frequently and used to frequent the old location in my undergrad years. I have never had a bad experience...food-wise. There have been a few spotty service experiences. I love the spicy mixed vegetables and tofu and also the sesame tofu and veggies rock! Even my family is addicted now and insist we eat there when they're here. So...Mr. Chopsticks is awesome! read more

I've only been here twice, but the second time was for all of about 5 minutes. The first time I came here, the food was pretty good & I did enjoy the calamari. The second time however, I left very quickly. We sat down at a table, ordered our drinks, and when my boyfriend looked over there was a roach crawling up the wall. Needless to say, we just left. I know I can be pretty picky about cleanliness of restaurants, but roaches are unacceptable. What else is going on that I don't see? I will say, it was quite a bummer to have that happen...I did enjoy the good the first time around, but will never be going back. read more

I haven't been to Mr. Chopsticks in several years but we recently moved back to Denton so we had to go back. It was delicious! I had the sushi special and I am so glad I did. Service was great, patio was great and the beer was cold. read more

Mr Chopsticks - Sweet & Sour Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Denton, Texas

Mr. Chopsticks is one of those places that you take out-of-towners once you become a Dentonite. It's some sort of tradition, and one I've suggested many times to friends and family. Truth be told, most of the food at Mr. Chopsticks is hit or miss. I used to order the Orange Chicken/Tofu quite frequently, but it's frustrating. The orange sauce is different every single day. Sometimes it's watery and bland. Sometimes it's thick and sweet. So I stopped ordering it, because it can not be trusted. Then I went on a griller special bender where I continually ordered the shrimp/crab rangoon combo. It's pretty tasty, but it's nothing special since it's frozen/fried. Currently, I'm kind of obsessed with the Philadelphia roll. It's just so good. Creamy and salty and cold. The presentation of their sushi is so much nicer than pretty much any other meal I've ordered there. I live down the street from Mr. Chopsticks, so sometimes we are too tired to cook, so we call in an order. 15 minutes later, we're picking it up and scarfing it down. (Don't tell anyone that we drive less than half a city block to pick up the food and drive it back home though.) read more

I have loved Mr. Chopsticks since college!! Favorites are: garlic green beans, fried tofu & the seasame chicken. Rainbow roll & eel rolls are also good! Hubby tried the pad Thai & really enjoyed it. It was a fun trip back time for us, & just add good as we remembered! read more

Ok...I would eat here every day. I loved the kitschy atmosphere; reminded me of my days in downtown Austin. The service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent. I had the tempura vegetable roll...wonderful. Hubby had the thai pad noodle tofu curry. I tasted it, not usually a fan of that type of dish, and even I liked it. I only have one complaint that I must say needs to be addressed before I do go back and eat there and that is the lamps above the tables need to be dusted....BADLY. I mean in the most, worst possible way. I felt a little uncomfortable eating under all that dust and I didn't notice until I had time to sit around and look while I was waiting for my card to come back to the table for a signature. That was the longest ordeal of the lunch, but a minor irritant. Dust the lamps (an easy closing chore, no doubt) and I'll be back in!! read more

If you're looking for simple, plain and overpriced food then Mr. Chopsticks is for you. I am an avid eater of Asian, pan-asian, Vietnamese and Thai food. Mr chopsticks disappointed from square one. My girlfriend and I stood in front waiting for someone to greet us, since it was our first time we were unsure of what to do. After about 5 minutes we found a table and sat down. It was another 10 or so until someone realized we even existed. Apart from that, here are the main reasons why Mr Chopsticks is the worst. 1.) The waitstaff appeared to have poor hygiene 2.) Our food was lukewarm 3.) There was a long black hair cooked into the egg of out fried rice 4.) The chicken tasted like the smell of cat food 5.) Overpriced I'm not one to complain often and I'm easy going, however i could not just let this experience go. Maybe its better now and they've improved, though i will not be returning. read more

Well whatever you do DONT ORDER sushi from this place, very low quality, small portions and sloppily put together! Complete waste of Money. When I asked him to remake or replace my meal with something that I could actually use a chopstick to eat he told me to use my fingers, I couldn't believe my ears. I will NEVER eat here again. read more

This is a go-to place almost weekly for us. There are tons of vegetarian options, it's quick, it's priced fairly, and the staff is always pleasant. I have enjoyed everything I have tried and Mr Chopsticks will continue to be a staple in our household! (The fried noodles, green beans, and orange tofu are my faves!) read more

Mr. Chopsticks is the best Chinese Restaurant around. They have an amazing menu which includes a huge vegetarian menu and the best egg rolls on the planet. If you can't decide were to go eat... try Mr. Chopsticks. You won't ever be dissapointed. My favorites: Sesame Vegetables and Tofu Vegetarian Mustard Green Soup Thai Salad with Tofu Haw Mok Vegetables Veggie Egg Rolls read more

(X-posted to http://www.checkitbro.com/2010/02/) Mr. Chopsticks is not crazy gourmet. I think of it as the Asian equivalent of a really good neighborhood deli or pizza joint. I love eating here because I've been eating here for years, I am familiar with the staff, and I see my friends there all the time. Not all of the food is incredible, but it is all at least pretty good. Some of the selections - like the pho, for instance, or the pad thai - are as good as you would find at a more specialized restaurant of comparable quality. The service at Chopsticks is usually quite good. I think people that complain about the sushi here have unrealistic expectations, or maybe have developed a more refined sushi palette than Chopsticks or any local non-specialty, non-gourmet place can deliver. This is like a Level 2 Sommelier complaining about the house wine at Olive Garden. Stop being a jerkhammer. The recent expansions have done a lot of class the place up. People give Chopsticks bad reviews because they think it is something other than what it really is. Chopsticks is a pretty good, totally local restaurant that is fun to go to with a bunch of friends. If you think it is something other than that or expect something more, you'll be disappointed. But then again, you probably feel that way all the time, so what's new? read more

Everything is so fresh and delicious! The service is also fast and comes with a smile. I would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food. read more

This is your typical cheap American Chinese food-- the kind where you feel gross afterwards. Don't get me wrong, there are days where this is exactly what you need. The food is acceptable. Service is very fast; the food came out quickly and the waitress was good about checking in and refilling drinks. The restaurant is gross.. it's got that layer of sticky that you can expect at fast food Chinese-- on the tables and the seats and the floor. Don't come here if you're a foodie. Don't come here if you're picky. Come here when you feel like you're a stressed out college student missing out on sleep, binging on coffee and take out and cramming in everything you can to pass for finals week. read more

I keep telling them: "No horseradish"! Then they disguise their very powerful horseradish... that is *not* an edible substance! When I say "No horseradish, please", I do not expect to get a mouthful of the stuff disguised as guacamole or mustard or something else. read more

Our favorite date-night destination. I always get edamame for an appetizer, then California roll with a side of egg drop soup!!

I wouldn't suggest ever ordering any of their entrees. Every single one I've tried has been mediocre. Their appetizers and sushi are fine, but everything else isn't even worth trying. I got lo mein that was very bland and basically inedible and when I asked my server if I could get something else instead, she said that it couldn't be replaced because there "wasn't anything actually wrong with it." She gave me a look of such judgment and scorn that I went into the bathroom to cry before telling her I didn't even want anything instead anymore (they were going to charge me for a second entree anyway, so why bother)? I even cried again after I left because she made me feel SO awful about admitting my food was of poor quality.. $15 for bad food and to be told that there's nothing wrong with it (if it tastes bland and gross... there's something wrong with it). I've really liked this place for a while but the poor quality of the entrees and the poor service I got today has ruined it for me. I'll likely never come again. The past few times we've gone have been disappointing, especially this one. read more

I haven't been to Mr. Chopsticks since they changed locations, but I was quite a fan when I lived in Denton, and even after moving away I'd ake it up there every so often to meet friends. I LOVE the food. Never disappointed. They even have some Malay-style dishes, which my heart and tummy yearn for deeply now that I'm Stateside. I've been a fan for years, I look forward to visiting the new location soon. read more

I really like the atmosphere of Mr. Chopsticks more than anything. The service kind of blew, but the food was to die for. They have a ton of vegetarian items for those non meat eaters as well as an amazing selection of food for the carnivores. I love the sesame chicken! The one thing I really didn't like was the fact that they put onions in their fried rice, but i'm just picky! read more
