Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - My Shrimp/chicken Fried Rice, YEAH, BABY!!!! AT Pick Up Stix n Downey, u know it!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Downey, California

One of our favorite spots in the Promenade for sure. They have the yummiest noodles for sure. My 3 year old loves the egg rolls which is perfect for us because she can usually be picky with food and they don't have many options for kids. The edemame is a must here too. read more

Let me start off saying Monique is so amazing! This is the 2nd time I've gone and the service here is spectacular! Food is fresh and delicious! My favorite is the beef fried rice and the crispy orange chicken! 10/10! The shrimp chowmain, House special chicken, and honey shrimp are also great!! ( I don't mind the wait specially when your food is so fresh ) and my kids love it even more since they have iPads to play with while we wait :) read more

I love this place. Brought my sister for dinner & oh my gosh she also loved it cashiers are so nice to recommend plates & to explain what's in them or come with them read more

I came here with family and nieces, the service was fast and I ordered house salad with chicken that has bbq sauce , omg it was delicious and healthy ... Everything was delicious and friendly environment , cashier guy was super sweet and friendly and brought our food to our table and made sure everything is fine . I would recommend A+++* read more

Came in at 5:54pm to pick up dinner. Ordered a family platter, large wonton soup and a kids meal all to go. They only had 2 other people dinning in. And one person waiting before me. (So not very busy) I drive home, start taking out the food and my daughter's kids mean is not there. So now I have a 3 year old without dinner and have to make something additional since she got something that wasn't in in family platter. When I called to let them know the kids meal wasn't in my bags. I was basically questioned 3 times that the kids meal wasn't there. - more frustration! I was offered ro come back and get it, but after getting home with my 3 year old and 18 month old it would take me even longer and push back dinner even more. The girl who answered did say she would credit my card but I much rather had the food my daughter asked for when we ordered. read more

Horrible location. I ordered from here and not only did they gave the wrong order but their portions are ridiculous. I ordered dinner and paid for dinner and they gave me lunch portions. I ordered the Mongolian beef and Pretty much got nothing but ONIONS!!! Don't go this location. I normally go to seal beach but was close to this one. read more

This place is pretty good. Everything is done when you order it. It's pretty fresh. Their chicken pad Thai is pretty good. If your in a rush I would recommend to order online. It's faster and convenient. As far as service goes, it depends who's helps you. If it's the guy who I believe is the manager you'll get friendly service. If it's the tall chick you'll probably get emotionless service with a side of a blank stare. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - Chinese Near Me - Downey, California

If I could give 1 star, I would. I absolutely love Pick Up Stix, especially since in my city there is none, so i never mind the 25 min drive there. I get off from work late and every week at least once I love to get takeout from here. I always place a call over the phone and go pick it up 15 minutes before 8pm. For the past two weeks I have been calling at 7:20-7:30pm to try and place my pick up order like I usually do, and I have been told back to back to back "Sorry we can not take your order, we are over filled with orders". Strange, because every time I go at this time its dead empty. I never took the time to go over and see for myself. So today, I called again @7:40 (even later) and they took my order over the phone. My usual is House chicken with broccoli (no other veggies bc I am allergic) white rice and an order of 3 cream cheese wontons. So at 7:55 I arrived to pick up my order, wow was I happy. When I finally got home, and I am about to eat... guess what? My order was wrong. I am so PISSED. For the drive, and for the time it took to finally have some Pick Up Stix and it had to be wrong. They gave me grilled chicken with ALL veggies. No broccoli at all either. And the best part, it has mushroom which I am allergic to. Whenever I inhale mushrooms it makes my respiratory tract burn so much and it makes my eyes cry terribly. I am so so sad. And I have the food wrapped up here because I will be paying a visit tomorrow. I am so upset!!! I also have my receipt if needed. I was probably the last customer there tonight. read more

The food was fresh hot and delicious my kids loved it. Family style price was reasonable.

The food is good but don't expect any service from the cashiers, specifically Destiny (I made sure to look at my receipt for her name since they don't wear name badges). I come here often being that it's near me and every time she is there I know to not expect a hello, a welcome, or a thank you. She always looks upset, like she doesn't want to be there or like she doesn't to take an order. She will see people walk in and go up to order and she keeps doing what she was doing instead of acknowledging her customers. It's always an uncomfortable vibe when you order and she's helping you. read more

Very disorganized. Lady running on 6:15pm January 26th 2022 doesn't know what planet she is standing on. Ordered and got food in 30 minutes. Online order we're waiting in the front. read more

I'm so glad they opened a new location near me. I would usually go to the Lakewood or Alhambra location. This location is very nice, clean, and the staff is very friendly. They have outdoor seating. Restrooms were clean. I went on a Monday around lunch time and surprisingly, It wasn't busy. I ordered the Chinese salad, which was filling and delicious. Parking is not hard to find in this large shopping center. I recommend trying their cream cheese wonton, along with whatever you order. read more

Great food, good service! This is becoming a regular lunch spot for me and the funny thing is, I'm not too big on Asian food but I love this joint. So far, everything I've tried here is delicious. They also have a nice dinner and front patio. Nice flat screen up on wall with sports channel which is a plus for me. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - Mongolian beef lunch combo - Chinese Near Me - Downey, California

The nicest Pick Up Stix that I have been to with the friendliest employees ever. The place is clean, has plenty of parking, computer games for the kids and a good menu selection. Everyone in my work group liked their meal and they are hard to please. read more

Food is good, but had to wait 45min to get it! I understand people make mistakes...but it would have been nice if someone told me! Don't just leave your customers sitting there. Yes you gave me a coupon and cookies but honestly I don't think ill be back! And the manager should have come to my table not just the worker. read more

The gal at the cashier didn't look like she wanted to work didn't smile or greeted any one I was watching till I got my food. I had the app and was was using it for 1st time I asked her I can use my number like old times she said use app I asked her if she could show me how to get the app scan it she just stood there looking at me as if I asked her for free food or something wrong the gentleman behind me in the line showed me. What kind of service is that if I was not gracing for that food I would have walked out and never come back. I have been to different location in brea side ,costa mesa and always amazing good friendly service read more

We get Pick Up Stix through our school food program but it's always served w brown rice and I think it's gross. So I finally decided to go in and see what choices they actually have, because honestly I thought it was the same as Panda and I'm just not a big fan of Chinese food. I have to say, it was DELICIOUS!!! I tried the Thai Chili chicken, the house chicken and the honey chicken with white rice and fried rice. They were all amazing!! Will def be back and try more flavors! read more

Went in for a pick up order place was clean and well maintained as ii approach the counter ii was greetted right away and ii also got my order right away ii did not get the employee name but she was very helpfull and really nice will be back again keep up the good work read more

I've been coming to pick up stix for about 8 years now, from long Beach to Alhambra to lakewood to downey. I have to say that the Downey location by far is the best location under this corporation. In particular it is clean, clean, clean. You can eat off the floor here. It's that clean. Part of that has to do with the amazing staff! In particular one person who is always there to help and always with a smile, her name is Alicia! She's is amazing and is consistent with her service everytime I come in. Keep it up Alicia! The food is always cooked so fresh and I really love the ambiance. The only downside is that cellular LTE Service is not the best here, but that has nothing to do with pick up stix. All in all, if you are looking for fresh Asian cuisine with the best service and cleanest fast casual experience. You can't go wrong with pick up stix and this location. read more

This place is ok. I can tell you the service you receive is great though. The cashier girl recommended a lot of new items and a different way to order so our bill was better priced, so we appreciated that. The food came out pretty quickly and was tasty...nothing to rave about, but it was good. read more

Service is horrible. Such bland employees. The tables were all dirty. They do not go around cleaning them at all. Asked for sweet & sour sauce & they were so annoyed. Will not be back. They really need to do something about their service because it sucks !!!! read more

My experience here was great from start to finish. My ordering experience was very good since the staff was very friendly and patient explaining the menu. I ordered the house special and kung pao. Super fresh food and very delicious. Enjoyed a Stella beer with dinner. Seems to be a little more upscale than Panda Express. I prefer it over Panda any day. read more

Dont waste your time going here horrible service i was waiting for my order for 30 minutes. Asked to get a refund as i was late for work and the cashier in blonde hair with cat eyes/ bitch said it was almost ready and did not prioritize orders that were for in store. Shitty attitude shitty service and could have received my food faster by a snail. Hope this bitch gets fired last time i ever go there was not even busy i work in the food industry and i realize good customer service when i see it. Hope she gets fired dont waste your time go somewhere else. read more

So rude of you to have me wait when I'm ready to order while you fill up all the damm little cups of teriyaki sauce or whatever it was and put on all the caps on .. oh you're ready to take my order ... ohhhh you're not ... I'll just wait until you put all 50 of them away! BYE!!!!!! read more

I really liked this place. Clean and friendly staff, and the food seemed fresh. The chow mein was not greasy but very flavorful. Kung pao was great also. Oh and they also serve beer and wine which is a plus. Overall it's a good spot for quick Chinese with a beer. read more

Walked in employees where sitting at the bench eating ran around the counter to the cash register when they saw us took our order went back to continue eating went to try to find a table the majority where dirty, food, stains, etc.... not cleaned, the floors where dirty, took forever for our food. While waiting for our food I observe customers leaving 20 min past and no one cleaned there tables. I sat in the back tables and I can here there personal conversations and they were by the cash register. The same tables that were dirty when I walked in were still dirty when I left after I dined (45min) later, the manger was there and did nothing. So sad I like Pick Up Stix but will not be back to this one, loud conversations, not clean employees on there phones. Business owners check your business cameras you should hire people that actually want to work with worth ethics. read more

Workers are not friendly. Treat u like a number. Cashier is so rude and stares at u with a blank stare, no expression at all. I paid a whopping $15 for a small plate of rice and orange chicken with a side of 3 cream cheese wontons. The one star goes to the wontons. Fried rice was blehh no flavor and lots of egg in it. Weird? Orange chicken made your eyes water from how much vinegar was used and was on the hard stiff side. That $15 didnt include a drink. Over priced. Bad service. Bad food. read more

I loved the food but the waiting time was more than 45min. Too much time to be waiting in such small place. I will give it another try and I will consider a 5 star rating. hope I get my order faster than last time. We will see that soon. Highly recommended though! read more

This review is for service only. I came in and placed a to go order. The waiting area (one bench) by the register was full so I decided to wait at a table in the dinning area. Over 15 minutes later and I'm still waiting. The girl who delivers food to the tables sees me sitting there and doesn't even bother to ask me if I'm waiting for my food. I'm about to get up and check on my order when the other girl comes over and says "oh, I called your name a while ago but I didn't see you." Omg! You don't think to look in the dinning area?! Common sense would be to check because the waiting portion is crowded so maybe the person got out of the way and moved to the dinning portion? Now I get my COLD food and have to go back to work and reheat it. No apologies either. Never coming here again. read more

First time here and it will ve the last time he. Service was horrible. However 1 guy that was bringing the food 2 the table was nice but overall, food is not worth the money. Only protein and rice with no vegetables unless u get fit meals. Better off going to panda Express. More food n better choices. read more

I was extremely disappointed in my last visit to the Downey location. I came with my family around 1pm on October 26 of this year. I ordered the Thai Basil Chicken combo meal. The cashier presumably took down my order. However, when my food came (20 minutes later), I received the wrong item (the Thai noodles). When I pointed this out to the manager, he actually wanted me to pay the difference in price between the two items, although I had already paid for the correct item. He decided not to charge me after all, however. In addition, I never received the cream cheese wontons that were supposed to come with the meal. The person who delivered the food insisted that my meal did not actually include the wontons, even though it was clearly stated on the menu that they WERE included. Later, upon talking to the manager, the story somehow changed: he claimed the the cooks were new and made a mistake. The strangest part, however, was that when confronted about the fact that the manager had initially wanted me to pay for their mistake, he denied responsibility for the mistake. He claimed that the Thai Basil Chicken, and Thai Noodles had the same code for putting down on the cash register. That it was incumbent on me, the customer, to refer to the dish as "Basil" next time when ordering. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A simple apology would have sufficed, but the manager kept hemming and hawing, and making excuses for the mistake. This is unprofessional and quite frankly unacceptable. In the end, he offered a coupon for two free cream cheese wontons - what I was supposed to get in the first place. Management, I would appreciate your reply to this message, as I am sorely tempted to take my business elsewhere, if this is the way I'm going to be treated. Thank you. read more

Came in today and my order was FINALLY right (other than the chow mein being too saucy when I asked for light sauce). Staff was (as is expected because they are always) very friendly, professional and courteous. Efficient and fairly accurate, too, so that was a plus. Today was a better experience. Bogo was honored properly too. Maybe they are reading my reviews!! read more

Went to pick up stix on Jan 1st , ordered my food and when I got home my order was wrong. Did not get my Orange peel chicken, only received chow mein and rice. Called and spoke to manager, said they would send me a coupon for whatever entree i wanted. Waited a week, called back.... said I would receive a call on Monday.. No one called. Will not be going back to this place.... **Note*** I live in the same city , they said coupon takes 7 business days to arrive even though I am 7 minutes away... read more

My first time here and I got to say that it was sooooo delicious service was great and food was brought to table pretty fast. I will come back again and bring the rest of the family with me. I gotta say this might be my place to go to read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - Shrimp Pad Thai - Chinese Near Me - Downey, California

Wow. I ordered for pick up online through grub hub. I picked it up and went to work to eat it before I started. I literally work a mile away from the restuarant. This is what my food looked like. It tasted worse. I barely ate any of it. Disgusting and cold like it was cooked hours before, and the rice was rock hard. Well, I know now where not to eat. read more

Went in with my mother in law to get an order of fried rice. The place was very clean, staff were friendly and attentive but it took 30 minutes for an order of rice. They were super busy! read more

I had ordered online and waited for about an hour to get my food. People that ordered after I did got their food before me. Very disappointed that the cooks forgot my entree and had me wait. read more

Was excited to see this location pop up within walking distance of where I live. Experienced a bit of a rocky start at first, but that should be expected with a new start up. Lately I've been coming on a consistent basis. Ivan the manager really stepped it up on every level. I actually look forward to dining here, even picking this over panda express. Great tasting food and great service... What else could I ask for. read more
