I've been coming to this Pick Up Stix location pretty often, and it's honestly one of my favorite go-to spots right now. The food is always fresh, the portions are generous, and I love that I can order sauces on the side so nothing is overly drenched. The grilled chicken with vegetables and brown rice is consistently good, and the Mongolian steak never disappoints. One thing I really appreciate is the portion size -- they're not stingy with the protein. You definitely get a solid serving of chicken here, which makes it feel worth the price (especially compared to some other places that charge just as much and give you barely any). What really makes this place stand out though is the staff. The cooks are friendly and you can tell they care about what they're doing. The person who usually takes my order is always kind and professional, and I really appreciate that they bring the food to the table. It makes the experience feel welcoming instead of rushed. The restaurant is clean, service is quick, and the quality plus portion size make it completely worth it. I'll definitely keep coming 4x a week! read more

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE COOKIE LOTTERY OFFICIALS WERE ALARMED when 110 people in 29 states each became $170,000 Powerball winners in one day. How did so many people all over the country get the numbers right? Turns out they got their lucky numbers from a fortune cookie. Although I don't pay a lot of attention to the lucky numbers, I do rely on these fortunes for most of my other life choices. Here are some of my recent ones: 1. "Neighbor has strange mustache. Beware." 2. "Your problems temporary. New ones coming soon." 3. "Three can keep a secret. If you get rid of two." 4. "Your future self is facepalming right now." 5. "The stars are aligning. Mostly against you." 6. "Your life improve dramatically. After you stop saying 'it is what it is.'" 7. "Your boss doesn't care. Neither does universe." 8. "Future looks bright. Mostly from dumpster fire glow." 9. "Ignore previous cookie. Butt dialed." 10. "You not unlucky. Just very educational to rest of us." 11. "Iron Man dies. Oops forgot say: 'spoiler alert'" 12. "Your plans will fail. Good news: new ones also fail." 13. "I see money in your future. It not yours though." 14. "You will live long, healthy life. If stop eating so much MSG." 15. "Your coworkers plotting. Mostly harmless--I think." 16. "Pssst... that wasn't chicken." 17. "Your right sock soon declare independence." 18. "ERROR 404: Fortune Not Found: Abort, Retry, Ignore?" 19. "The P.F. In P.F. Changs stand for pet food." 20. "It take many nails to build crib but only one screw to fill it." Pro tip: Pick Up Stix is our regular Asian-fusion fast-food-fix for pickup or delivery. The dishes are wok-fresh and made to order. Favorites are Kung Pao, Orange Chicken, and Cream Cheese Wontons... all served with fortune cookies of course. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - A soda - Asian Fusion Near Me - Escondido, California

Thank you pick up stix team cashier was very nice. I'm still waiting for my food, but I'm sure it's gonna taste great.

My first encounter of Pick Up Stix was in Vista and after church, my friends and my family would go eat there for lunch. When that closed down, I'm glad that this branch in Esco remained open and the only one that I know of in the North County. The employees are very nice. Tonight I had Mr. Alejandrino and he greeted me with a smile. I ordered House Special Chicken with Brown Rice. I've had this item many, many times and it's very delicious. What's great about this place is that they're one of the places that gives big portions and the prices are great. I can have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. They do close early which a lot of places do nowadays. Will be back! read more

I was over by the auto dealerships last night and needed a bite to eat so I called to make sure they were open and how long it would take for a to go order. Very friendly gent said about 15-20 minutes and they were open. Parking right up front, and plenty of spaces since it is in a large strip mall with a Target. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and polite. They were not that busy and it only took a minute for them to get to me and get my order. I like the $29 family value pack meal - it is a lot of food, and covers all the bases including, entrees, sides, and dessert. FAMILY VALUE PACK Any 2 Chicken Entrees 1 order of Chow Mein or Fried Rice 4 Cream Cheese Wontons and 4 Crispy Dumplings Steamed white or brown rice 4 Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookies. I went with 2 favorites, The Crispy Honey chicken and the House Special chicken entrees. I added a 3rd entrée of Mongolian beef. All 3 are delicious. The wontons and dumplings are a great compliment to the entrees and are also tasty. Pick up Stix is consistent, always good, fresh, tastes the same, no matter which location. I like when you can count on that. You can use the app to order but I wanted to add on and see their new items. But remember to scan your code to get the points towards free items and check the app for offers and rewards. read more

My first time visiting this location. I ordered some orange chicken and the wait time was 15 minutes. It came with steamed rice. I ordered some wontons. The total came to around $19. My orange chicken was mushy and not at all crispy hot and fresh as I expected. Seems I got what was previously made. My wontons were the only fresh thing. After this first impression Will not be coming back. read more

I ordered house special tofu, chow mein, spring rolls, and rice on 7/6/2025. The tofu was extremely salty, I mean like so extremely salty it tasted like I was eating a straight spoonful of salt with tofu. The chow mein was mushy and tasted like play dough. The spring rolls and rice were okay. Overall it was inedible and I threw most of it in the trash. The small amount that I did eat made me feel sick the next 2 days. read more

The McDonald's of Chinese food. The best thing about PickUpStix is that you can see your food being Wok'd in the kitchen. The place smells good and the ordering process is pretty straightforward. As for the entrees they were loaded with heavy sauces and they were pretty skimpy on the protein. At a minimum, the good news is this place has high corporate quality standards for cleanliness. - You'll get very thirty after eating here. - It's no Pei Wei..... read more

Very friendly and go above and beyond with their customer service.

First time having pick up Stix in a few years and it's not quite how I remember it. Ordered the crispy honey chicken and while it tasted okay it had too much sauce and there was no crispiness to be found at all. The chicken ended up tasting rather mushy and thick, not the light and crispy chicken I was used to. Doubt I'll return to pick up stix, was not worth $14 read more

Our first time here and service was amazing. Pierre was well informed o To help us with our allergy restrictions. The food was delicious, and he even cooked it. We will be back The space is clean and well kept, lighting is good, music isn't too loud - which is always a bonus! read more

We ordered the family pack 3 entrees for $45 and this is what we got. Take note today is Mother's Day 2024. We received half the size of the portioned plates and it seems like they are single order portions. We ordered more dishes aside from this but it was just very disappointing. We paid $90 for the foods we got that would feed only 2 people but we ordered the family pack that it says was good for 4-5 people. I would not recommend pick up stix and please go to a place who would give fair amount of food for the price you pay. Specially for a special occasion please don't get or order from them. All of you will be disappointed a hundred percent. My Mother's Day celebration has been sad unfortunately because of the food that we chose to get and was not fair to give us the rights amount for the price we paid. Not all of was able to eat and I had to cook extra for the rest of my guest. This is very sad Mother's Day. read more

Walked in, the line wasn't too long. The place looked nice and clean. They have a section for kids to play on screens too. Wasn't sure what I was going to order as they have so many options, so I asked the cashier and he patiently described to me what each entree came with. I ended ordering Peel orange chicken entree (normally comes with an side of rice white or brown) but I opted for noodles for a small fee. I also ordered the Kung Pao chicken with brown rice. Did not disappoint. Both were served fresh and hot out of the wok. A bit spicy for the kids so maybe next time I'll just tell them to take it easy with the chilis. Overall great tasty food! read more
