    This is a great alternative if you want fast food without the guilt. I find it more fresh and better than panda express,, and has more healthier options.

    Excellent, excellent service. I cannot rave more about this service. Edward was excellent. I ordered a large wonton soup and soup and I was gonna eat it outside. Ed came outside with and the sauces and cookies! . He even gave me the red chili. I mean. He's just the Best . He should be commanded. Please get him a raise!!

    Came here today and had a great visit thanks to Ed. I haven't been here in awhile and Ed was quick to explain all the options for the family meal. Ed is an employee every company wants because he has an upbeat attitude and he genuinely cares for people. Thanks for the great experience Ed!

    I haven't been to Pick Up Stix in a long time so I received an email invitation to come back. Way to treat your customers well!! With any purchase, I could receive a free entree of any kind. I bought a bottle of water and ordered this Salmon Teriyaki. The food was fresh, freshly made to order, tasty and cooked well. The portion was huge. I have more than half the brown rice and veggies remaining -- leftovers for tomorrow. Thank you, Pick Up Stix! Great service -- friendly and quick too!

    Pick Up Stix is such a good meal!! It's well priced, and portions are great. Thanks so much for being open on Christmas Eve!! It was very crowded because no one wanted to cook. Took a while because it was PACKED. Thank you !! Food was so good. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of seating. Easy to-go ordering, or you can eat there. Also plenty of outdoor seating for the center. I always get the house special tofu. Love that there's a vegan option that's so similar to what I grew up loving (house special chicken). It's sooo good. Shoutout to Edward for always being SO friendly. Seriously such a gem and very attentive.

    Employee / MOD Edward pictured here on the register.

    Manager on Duty Edward (Caucasian male, middle age, around 5 ft 8in, brown hair, brown eyes). Since we arrived, trying to place an order to go. Edward was rude from the beginning. Tried to confirm he heard what I asked since he didn't respond stating what I ordered. I asked again to ensure he heard and he said I heard you, where I then replied I asked again because I didn't hear you respond acknowledging the request. Then extremely rude from there on. Blatantly being rude, confrontational in front of my wife and two young daughters. He then threw the crunchy noodles at me when we asked for a couple extra. Don't think Customer service is for this guy. If you read more reviews, it's like he repeatedly does this and some how still has a job there. Poor customers don't deserve to spend money there and get treated like trash. Hopefully the owners fix this problem or you will most likely see more bad posts on this location. Check out Edward in the pic behind the register. If you see him working, I suggest you stay away as he'll ruin the experience of going to eat at Pick up Stix for you.

    This review is about the excellent service that EDWARD provided today. He was extremely efficient, organized, and displayed friendly service. Also a mention to their cook today who put out orders quickly.

    The Kung Pao I've Been Searching For…read more New Mandarin Garden has an impressively clean, welcoming ambiance, but what really stood out was the service -- the owner was genuinely warm and attentive, which you don't see often anymore. As a former wok chef, I'm not easily impressed, but their food hit me right away. The Kung Pao chicken tasted exactly like the nostalgic flavor I grew up with -- it reminded me of my uncle's cooking. Perfect heat, proper wok aroma, balanced sauce... this is how Kung Pao is supposed to taste. I've been searching for this style for years. I'll absolutely be back. Places like this are rare.

Upon entry we were told to sit where we liked. Our server took our drink order. Our order was taken soon after. Our server was helpful but a bit abrupt. The restaurant was very clean. The dining area in the front was rather smallish. A fountain with an elephant figure on top was the focal point of the dining area. An odd display of hot mustards for sale greeted us as we came into the main dining area. There was more seating in the back but this was cluttered with paper goods and such. Our food came out relatively quick. We ordered two lunch specials. The first was house chow mein with rice, an egg roll and egg drop soup. The second was almond chicken with rice, an egg roll and egg drop soup. We were given complimentary crispy wontons with spicy mustard and sweet and sour sauces as appetizers. The chow mein was okay. Nothing special. The egg rolls were good. The egg drop soup was good. I am not a fan of this type of soup but it tasted as it should. The cashew chicken was good and had a generous amount of cashews. I am not sure what type of rice this was but I would have preferred the run of the mill white rice. When our check came, it was accompanied by two pre-packed fortune cookies in a repurposed wild planet tin. Music was playing a little loudly. It was kind of soul/jazz. It was pleasant but did not fit the atmosphere of the restaurant. This an okay restaurant but I would not go off the beaten track to eat here.

    Nice little restaurant at the corner of Broadway and pacific Coast highway in downtown Laguna…read morebeach. Met some friends for dinner at Peony on a Saturday evening before we went to a movie at the Rivian theater which is 2 doors down on pch. Our server was cookie, and he was fantastic. Attentive, cheerful, and pleasantly talkative. Offering menu and drink suggestions without being pushy or high pressure. We settled on 3 main dishes and rice. Everything was tasty. I think that the mushu pork was my favorite. My buddy's wife treated me so I can't speak to the prices but everything that I saw on the menu seemed to be reasonable. I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing my girlfriend to try Peony for herself. Also highly recommend Peony if you're going to an event at the Rivian theater.

Unfortunately peony doesn't have its' own lot that I could see so street parking or parking off site and riding the trolley is going to be the best options.

All of the food came out extremely fast. I would highly recommend Peony Chinese kitchen to anyone.

    A generic, Chinese take-out food place in a strip mall…read more Exterior: As it's based in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking in the lot (located in a near Sprout's). Interior: With a handful of tables/chairs and bar seating, it's considered small and casual. Based on the food and atmosphere, this place seems geared towards having people order to-go and delivery as you can eat their dishes family style. Food: My total take-out order came out to approximately $58 (without tip). I ordered enough for 3-4 people. It came with an extra side of rice. I would recommend getting a fried rice dish over a noodle (specifically the chow mein) dish due to taste or repetitive oily fats and heavy meat. Order variety of dishes for a better experience based on texture and savory. Ordered: Pork Chow Mein, Vegetable Fried Rice (could be better with smaller chunks of zucchini), Wonton Soup (small, tasted water down, wonton chips come separately but there's no big change in taste, the vegetable chunks doesn't blend together), and Orange Chicken (similar to other chicken with sweet and sour sauce). Overall, an average restaurant that gives you a good fix of Chinese food in the local area. The service is fast and the workers themselves are cordial and respectful. I wouldn't feel compelled to eat inside or take friends on a daily basis. Service: I was overall impressed with the fast service (my order took less than 15min to prepare for 4 dishes)

I was craving dumplings and their dumplings were amazing and juicy but the stand out for me was the beef noodle soup! It had the best textured noodles that I've had for some time and really tender beef slices. It was perfect with the chili oil that they had on the table. I loved that they have frozen dumplings that you can take home and I will definitely plan for that next time.

They all start to taste the same. Quite disappointed at the dumpling wrapper / skin... which is as important as the filling. They over steamed / cooked the shumai, XLB, and wonton so the dumpling skins were too soft, almost mushy. Maybe some people prefer this texture? Smashed cucumber has large portion, flavor is quite light compared to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty versions. Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty are more expensive, but their quality and flavor are better so I would still go there for my dimpling cravings. Staff is friendly. Maybe try other dishes besides dumplings...
