I used to eat at this Pick Up Stix location all the times when my office used to be right across the street from them. I haven't been back for many years since we moved away. After our visit to Best Buy next door the other night, we walked over here to get dinner since I received a notice from Pick Up Stix on my app that day about their "Two for $18". Mentioned the special promotion to the cashier and he acknowledged. I didn't want a heavy meal since I've been eating out so much lately, so wanted to order just the chicken lettuce wrap (me) with the honey shrimp (my husband's favorite). The cashier said no, chicken lettuce wrap is an appetizer and not an entree. I asked if we can make it as an entree as I do not want a full heavy meal but just a salad. We were willing to pay for it as an entree. He insisted that doesn't work. That reminded me that this happened many times in the past when they have the special promo and that's why I haven't been back for a while. So we ended up just ordering it as is, lettuce wrap appetizer and the honey shrimp for my husband. Both dishes were good though. I suggest Pick Up Stix to consider giving diners the option of ordering the chicken lettuce wrap as either an appetizer or entree like most restaurants. read more

Wanted to give a shout out to Karen, who works at the pick up stixs location in Irvine off lake forest. I normally hear in their order and always has great experience but this time in particular I had an issue with one of my Payments and Karen took it upon herself to provide excellent customer service. Place was very welcoming and food was hot when picked up. Definitely would recommend this location and a big shout out to Karen for your great customer service. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - HOUSE SPECIAL CHICKEN - Chinese Near Me - Irvine, California

I've come to this location for YEARS after the Misson Viejo one closed down. Always chill customer service, they always go over the order and make sure I'm good with how I'm ordering (will go over that in a few), & it's just 5-10min usual wait. My sister & I almost always go for our go to and then get one extra entree when they have new dishes to try. House Special Chicken, with xtra chicken and only 1scoop of brown rice or no rice just the steamed veggies. My sister just gets it with white rice. I have tried their new firecracker chicken and now will be trying the shrimp. Dish is NEVER a miss on flavour! It's always served hot and they always ask if I need anything else. Nah, I'm good. This is it! Love this place! For the record, I wouldn't say this is traditional Chinese more American catered to. But still freakin hits the spot! read more

Tried it and although the food tastes decent, it's still no where close to good Asian food. If you live nearby try Tasty Noodle House in Irvine. The flavors are much better , bigger portions and costs around the same. read more

Food portions are so so so small! Service is very nice but that can't make up for the measly portions.

Great food and service. The manager is so nice. The food is always warm and fresh. Highly recommend this location right off of the freeway

The location is clean and well-maintained . The restaurant is also roomy and spacious and it is typically bigger than all the other locations I had been to . Of course , the food is always delicious and fresh . read more

The service was AMAZING! Karen was kind and genuine. Definitely will come back and recommend!

Came in, and was the only customer, they immediately said it would take more than 20 minutes for any order. What a terribly ran place, its like management doesnt want business read more

Your teriyaki chicken sauce is too salty. My husband said the same thing too. The owner should eat a plate and taste before make a recipe to making food for people. Too much sodium!!!! read more

I love the fresh made food cooked to order. it bothers me that you got rid of the lemons Every PUStix had lemons until the pandemic and when the pandemic was over you didn't bring back the lemons. grrr I think every Pickup Stixs is actually wonderful, but I do miss having lemons for my Chicken Pad Thai read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - Gross hard beef pieces - Chinese Near Me - Irvine, California

We ordered the family value pack on doordash. this was supposed to be a family meal for 4-5 people but it 's more like for 3 people. only half of each entree section on the tray was filled. why dont you guys just fill each section up to the top, why be so greedy. the noodles were salty, the fried rice was bland. the chocolate fortune cookes were a mess inside those little bags. we didnt get no sauces no utinsils no napkins. terrible service read more

I tried Pick Up Stix for the first time. Caroline took my order. Caroline is very pleasant and efficient. I had to use the restroom and it was spotless. In fact, the entire restaurant was very clean. The food is cooked fresh when you order. Beto is the chef and he did a good job with the Mongolian Beef. The entrees come with either white rice or brown rice. Caroline gave me hot mustard which I requested. She also gave me fortune cookies and forks. The food was a good value as it was freshly prepared, great service, and a very clean restaurant. I am happy with what I ordered from the Asia Fit menu. read more

Oh my gosh! This place has great food and a great ambience! I will definitely be back soon!

I had drunken noodles for the first time here... i was blown away of how good they were. Although the cook was very busy with a lot of orders the noodles tasted like he took his time on my dish! thanks! read more

Missing everything but the food, no napkins, utensils, soy and ordered and extra side of rice yet nothing. Also no fortune cookie. Chicken was skimped. I'm not happy at all and used to frequent once a week. This was last visit read more

I loved the service and the food was absolutely delicious and filled tot he brim. 100% recommend!!!

Excellent customer service. I recently started ordering through app and I had earned a free entree reward. Unwittingly I clicked on the coupon not knowing there was a 30 min time limit to redeem the free entree coupon. The coupon expired and I wasn't able to use it. When I went in to pick up my order I asked about it when I arrived. A very nice woman named Karen was working and she was kind enough to give me a free entree coupon. I really appreciated that. I will definitely be coming back to this location. Thank you Karen! :) read more

Great & fast service order ahead had no wait. Staff was amazing and friendly and dinning room was clean

I've been here a few times, but the last time and today, my food was horribly undercooked. Last time the chicken was raw in the middle. This time the steak was completely raw in the middle of half the pieces. They must have a new cook or something, because the cooking has changed considerably. It used to take a bit for your order involving meat, to be ready. Today my steak with broccoli was literally ready in 5 minutes from the time I walked away from the register. I was totally surprised at how fast it was ready, since it's supposed to be cooked fresh. It all made sense with my first bite. The steak piece was completely raw in the middle. Tried another piece and same problem. I ate the rice and some broccoli and tossed the rest. Not going back to this location. read more

The service here is outstanding, super friendly people. Wonton Wednesday is always a hit wonderful cream cheese wontons The downside I ordered pad Thai with chicken. There was barely any chicken in it at all maybe two bites and some tiny scraps. And it was made with those extra large noodles which I don't like. What a waste could only eat maybe a quarter of it. read more

Excellent original flavors and a friendly enthusiastic server. Thank you Bryce!!! I'll definitely be back.

Closed prior to the listed hours of operation and I live right around the corner of this location. Unfortunately this location has done this several times in the past and not the 1st time this has occurred. Doors were will open and I was told they are closed already for the evening. read more

Service is great but the food is trash... I tried to different items and both were disappointing. This shouldn't even be called Asian food. Big chunks of vegetables and the protein portions are bland and small.. read more

Great service great food place is clean and good service the girl at the front was caroline and she was so helpful

STAY AWAY! Eat here if you like HAIR IN YOUR FOOD. When I told the cashier all she offered was to remake it? Why would I want more food with more hair?? That's disgusting! So disappointed with the lack of customer care here. Feel sickened to my stomach knowing it was the cooks hair in my food. read more
