    Think of it as a dumb down version of Panda Express. Whilst everyone has their own opinion on good and authentic Chinese food, i still don't mind a good Panda Express or pick up stix. We ordered such a great family pack deal. It's supposed to feed 3 people, but actually fed my family of 5! Portions were decent and the food was actually pretty tasty! The chicken was also pretty tender considering its fast food casual. The staff has great customer service and was attentive to our needs, especially my daughter who has food allergies. The ambiance was clean and there was plenty of tables and seating. Wouldn't mind ordering here again!

    Stellar as always! thank you Simba & chefs & team... fresh hot food that hits just the right way! comfy seating in & out and getting ready for feb 14th

    The broccoli and beef is my absolute favorite here! The seasoning is perfect and the broccoli isn't soggy, which I love.

    The broccoli and beef is my absolute favorite! We were visiting from out of town and have not had Pick Up Stix in years, and this definitely reminded us how much we loved this place. The food was made to order and we only waited 5-ish minutes, so overall, we're so happy with our experience. The new hot honey chicken is definitely worth a try, as well!

    HOUSE SPECIAL CHICKEN WHITE MEAT with noodles

    The workers were great with amazing service. Food was quick and fresh!!! Store was clean no trash no where very clean tables clean atmosphere and the workers deserve a raise

    KUNG PAO CHICKEN, YUM !

    The food was awesome , fresh and the place was so clean. The people working were also super nice and welcoming.

    50/50 meaning 50% is non chewy and 50% is very very chewy. Cookie is good.

    Chains are an interesting thing. The headquarters supply the menu and food supplies and it's left to the hourly employees to do the best with what they are given. The line cooks don't mess with adding "their" touch and the managers of franchises don't either. I went the other night and the store is cute and inviting. Staff could not have been nicer. So, I order safe egg roll and Mongolian beef with brown rice. Egg rolls were tasteless and the beef so chewy I threw them both out. $19 down the drain. I don't blame the staff, they didn't make it. But shame on the corporate big wigs for putting this food out there. Awful and I don't normally say that.

It's a good size dining room with many tables and a few booths. The service was very friendly. It looked like a small family owned business. We arrived early during lunch on a Sunday and was one of the only groups there. But it did fill up pretty quickly after that! We started off with appetizers and probably ordered a little too much. The seasoned cucumbers looked interesting so we got an order of those. It ended up being big chunks of cucumbers in a soy sauce marinade. It was just alright and not super tasty or anything. I have to admit, I have made more flavorful cucumbers at home. Perhaps it was the type of cucumber which was not my favorite. They used regular American cucumbers instead of English or Persian cucumbers, which I prefer. We also ordered the fish sauce fried chicken wings. They were decent but nothing to write home about. We also had a couple orders of eggrolls. Of the three appetizers, this one was the tastiest. The one thing I wish they provided with the egg rolls is lettuce and herbs to wrap the egg rolls with. Instead, there was a little side of pickled cabbage and carrots. For our main entrées, we ordered bun bo hue. It was pretty good and I finished most of it. It came with your basic items and not a lot of meat. There was no pork hock or anything like that. Tendon was probably the most different type of meat in there. We also had the combination fried rice, vermicelli noodles and grilled pork, and broken rice with grilled pork with a fried egg. Sure, I'd return if I was in the area again and craving Vietnamese food.

I was sad to hear that CHIKO permanently closed their doors at the end of last year…read more It's rare for an East Coast based Asian chain restaurant to migrate to California, but that was what CHIKO did. As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.

The restaurant is small, cozy, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. It isn't well suited for larger parties as most tables are tables for 2 unless tables are pushed together. They do have patio seating and heaters outside, but it didn't appeal to me being so close to the street/loud traffic. Gabriel checked us in, seated us, took our order, served our food and waited on us for majority of our visit, I would give him 10 stars just on his impeccable service. The food though? The food was AMAZING!! Everything we ordered was the best we have ever had anywhere. The buns were very kawaii (and we ordered ever single one to try). The fillings were savory, but we also loved their seasonal panda bun with ube filling while the kids preferred the nutella bunny. Best chicken karaage we've had by far, the coating almost tasted like it was rolled in kinako powder. The ramen broth was "chef's kiss" with so much flavors, the crab rangoon were jumbo and the filling was delicious, but the chicken katsu was also the best we have had anywhere (including Hawaii). The breading was just top tier crunchy while the chicken was thick and juicy. There isn't one bad thing I could say about this place, from the service to the food, I would make the drive out here again.

Since I'm a lover of information, I looked up "Harumama". It's a combination of two words: the Korean word haru, which means "day," and "mama". Together, it translates to "mom's daily food". The name reflects the restaurant's mission to serve dishes prepared with the same love, care, and attention that a mother gives to her family's everyday meals. How lovely is that?! Anyhow, I was able to find street parking and walked into a clean dining space with a nice atmosphere. It wasn't too busy. Again, the staff was very attentive and provided stellar service. My food came out pretty fast. I loooved how my Drunken Noodles had the right amount of chicken and peanuts. Overall, another fun flavorful time. I'm still a Harumama fan.

I was bringing a party of 7 all of us trying it for the first time (two folks from Europe/South America visiting the US/San Diego for the first time) per my suggestion. It was important that I suggested a good spot for them to try since I wanted my out of town visitors to have the best experience and thought AYCE dumplings would be exciting and different. Since it was a Saturday afternoon, I called ahead to ensure there wouldn't be a significant wait since we already pretty hungry and were traveling from about 30 minutes away. The person who answered the phone informed me that they don't take reservations and that they have a waitlist but they cannot add someone who calls in to the waitlist, we must add ourselves in-person. He estimated an approximately 45-minute wait once we arrived but said we could get lucky and it could be less. We decided to give it a try anyway in case we would get lucky. We arrived and I realized how small this place is and every table was full. The waitlist had 4 parties in front of us and estimated wait time on the waitlist kiosk said approximately 45 minutes, and it wouldn't allow me to add a party larger than 6, and the kiosk has a note that says "for larger party, speak with our staff". I added us as party of six but I then stood there for about 7 minutes trying to get a staff member's attention to let them know we were actually a party of 7. Understandably, the staff was just focusing on serving their tables, and while they did notice me, I believe they were not aware or thinking about the kiosk message directing patrons to speak to them so they just went about serving their tables. Finally someone came and said that a party of 7 is fine and it would be about 45 minutes from that time (now already 10 minutes since we got there, almost an 1.5 hours since I called) We ended up wandering around Trader Joe's a few doors down in the meantime and buying some snacks to kill some time. (Not great for a business, you want us spending money at your business, not next door) At about 45 minutes, we came back to check and were informed our tables were ready, it was two tables of four one behind another so our party would be separated. We asked how long the wait would be for tables we could put together and they said maybe another 30 minutes so at that point we decided to take the tables that were available. We asked if we could rotate the orientation of the put the tables to put them together if it didn't cause any issues for the staff to be able to get around them (again, a very small and tight space), and at first were told no, but then another staff member said it was okay they do it all the time, so they let us which we really appreciated after waiting so long to be able to sit together. The ordering process was a bit confusing because there is no separate menu for AYCE, you just order from the regular menu and tell the server you are doing AYCE but then there are some restricted items you have to watch out for. Our servers were fantastic and did a great job of taking orders and keeping the food coming. The food did take a while but it just seems like the kitchen is small and for that many patrons it's difficult to keep up. The food was absolutely fantastic and I really enjoyed the cucumbers, the short ribs were surprisingly tender, sweet, and savory. We also tried the pork XLB, and the chicken won tons with chili oil (broth was so savory) and the beef pot stickers. The garlic edamame was served cold which I wasn't expecting and wasn't really a fan of. The green beans on the menu stated that it's a cold dish so it didn't sound appealing and we skipped although I usually love that dish. The chocolate quality inside the bao buns wasn't very good but still an enjoyable dessert. The Chinese churro was unique and really nice! The ice cream choices were great and the area is self-serve and was kept clean. Only problem with self-serve in such a tight space was a line was forming and blocking the access to the kitchen. A few suggestions for improvement: Turn on the setting to allow people to join the Yelp waitlist from the Yelp app when they are within a certain radius of the restaurant to prevent the excess waiting for people that are on their way. This will keep customers from spending money at nearby businesses while they wait or deciding to go somewhere else all together. Serve the garlic edamame and green beans as warm dishes (or at least state that garlic edamame is a cold dish on the menu) Create a separate menu for AYCE and use numbering so people can order more easily by number. Label the pictures on the menu so people know what is what, but ideally have pictures of each item. We wasted a lot of time Hoping this business keeps improving enough to expand perhaps to a second location to help with the overcrowding/tight space issues!

After sitting there feeling invisible for 15 minutes, we finally just got up and left. I will not be coming back.
