My "Go To" place for "To Go" lol. Pretty good food, fair price, consistent, clean, good service. If you eat in drinks are a free refill. Pad Thai noodles are actually very good IMHO as is the house special beef. Cream cheese wontons are pretty good as well. Overall solid for fast food take out. If you sign up for emails you get coupons for good savings. read more

great food, great service, restaurant is always clean! very relaxing place with lots of options!

Order the chicken pad Thai. Big disappointment. Noodles were Al dente. Too much cold bean sprouts and sliced carrots made the overall dish feel cold. Almost need to microwave or recook this noodle dish again. Taste too sweet. This place need an Asian to supervise Asian style cooking not a pretend to be. Probably the only authentic dish is a bowl of plain rice. read more

For $27 you too can have a mountain of carrots. Not pictured are all the ones I ate before picking these out looking for meat. Never again! read more

This restaurant has definitely changed. We used to love coming in but now the food has become commercialized and overly sweet

After a long stressful day with work, school & kids we decided to order pick up sticks. We were looking forward to eating some "good" Chinese food. I ordered a combo with, broccoli beef & Orange chicken. We also ordered a side of egg rolls. I have to say that my husband and I had never been before and really don't like the food at Panda. When someone recommended this I was so excited. Sadly the food was horrible. Everything was soggy and apathetic looking. I didn't complain to the manager since I've hear all the horror stories. Prices are high and I wouldn't have a problem paying for quality food. Sadly, I probably will never come back to this location. If I attempt another try I'll for sure try out another store that's run by different owners. read more

I am not a fan. :( And I like MSG-laden Chinese food. I am a HUGE purveryor (albeit not recently) of Panda Express, so I figured this would be similar. Let's just say, it's not. I got the combo with kung-pao beef, crispy wontons, and chow mein. The beef was okay. The wontons were a little less than okay. The chow mein was completely not what I expected. The sauces were really strong, and I had nothing to flush them with. At Panda, the chowmein is fairly "clean." It has veggies in it and a mild flavor. This chow mein was only noodles and they were soaked in a strong sauce!!! They were tasty, but combined with all the other sauced foods, I was dying for some plain noodles or some white rice! My friend got the wontons that everyone loves. I'm seriously not a huge cream cheese fan, unless it's on bagels, or in the form of frosting. Mmm...frosting. That's just me though. I absolutely hate cream cheese in asian foods like sushi, etc. I also tried the wonton soup. I thought the broth was lacking in flavor, and the wontons themselves were hardly filled. :( I honestly don't see myself coming here again. Especially when there's a Baja Fresh next door, a Trader Joe's down the street, and a Hof's Hut and Bai-Plu directly across traffic. :/ read more

Dear Pick-Up Stix Los Altos Store Owner: I purchased a take-out order of Chicken Chow-Mein on 12/22/18 at 6:30 p.m. from your Bellflower store in Los Altos/Long Beach for my 7 year-old daughter, and this piece of sharp triangular glass hit the roof of my her mouth. After seeing the tears and pain it created I began to freak-out. After getting her to spit it out I began to think she may have already swallowed other pieces. I immediately called and reported it to the shift manager Jessica and I was not offered a replacement meal, but I did get a refund..after I had to demand it, and having to hear initially from her that glass in the meal it wasn't possible. Well, here's a photo of it. I will be presenting all potential medical bills to you if it becomes necessary, and seeking legal representation if I am met with any objections, and I continue to be extremely angry about the whole experience!!! read more

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

Looks like they are open, door is open, I go in to order. Employee says can I help you, do you have a question. I say no just looking to order. Employee says "we are closed". Poor customer service. I understamd that she is at then endnof her day, but so am I and I could have used a little more compassion not the sour face and indignation from her that I did not know they were closed when the lobby was brightly lit and the door was open. That's OK, Panda Express IS open. read more

I started going here with my parents a little while ago. This place was the go-to pick up Asian fusion fast food we'd get whenever we had some family over or were just looking for a quick dinner. A couple months ago I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to try it and he said he doesn't go here because his dad said it was expensive. So I brought him here and I ordered him the house special beef (which is not on the menu but they will make it) with steamed white rice and with cream cheese wontons. This is now a place I frequent about once or twice every two weeks. The food is great quality, tastes fresh, and always leaves me satisfied. Another thing I love about pick up stix is that I can always call ahead and order and just pick it up when I get there without having to wait for my order to be cooked on the spot. Five stars for the food here and kudos to the staff for doing a great job. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - House Special Chicken Lunch with noodles. Comes with 2 Won Tons. - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ok, I like Pick Up Stix, so I'm not complaining about the food, but these folks really need to get their act together about pricing. Maybe I'm being picky, but charging extra for two small pieces of broccoli for a kid's meal is crazy, especially when other locations never do. I need to argue with them every time and the crazy thing is: when they just enter the kid's menu item with veggies without adding the extra cost, yes what? It's included: no cost! read more

This was for a dinner I had on July 23rd that I had delivered through Postmates. I guess I should start by setting the scene. This was a Sunday after birthday celebrations at Gallagher's Saturday night. I'm already off to a bad start here aren't I? After several vodka sodas, a whiskey shot with a pickleback, and a couple "mind erasers" (TIP: don't order one of these ever), I set myself up for a pretty awful Sunday. The reason I'm telling you this is because when one is hungover, one's standards for food quality tend to lower significantly. I don't need a Michelin star at this point, I don't feel good and I need greasy filling food to make me feel better. Fast forward to the next day around 5pm and I've been sitting on the couch for hours binge watching Sex and the City and generally feeling pretty sorry for myself and the state I'm in. If you don't watch SATC, they order a lot of Chinese takeout. I think maybe that's a thing in NYC in general? Idk, but I was influenced and Pick up Stix was the closest place. So I decided to order their orange chicken, chow mein, and cream cheese wontons. Sigh. I don't know why I was expecting anything better from this place, but it was awful. The orange chicken was soft and mushy and lukewarm. Idk about you, but if my orange chicken is going to be fried and then covered in sauce, I at least want there to be a satisfying crunch on the outside, then warm tender juicy chicken on the inside. Well, there was no crunch. Just soggy, room temp sadness. Chow mein? If you can call it that. When I was in elementary school we learned to make "chow mein" by mixing ketchup and mustard together then tossing the noodles with it. And this may as well have been that. Nothing in it, just noodles. Sauce was bad. The noodles were bad. It was just bad. Cream cheese wontons were fine, hard to mess those up. If we're going to compare americanized Chinese food, Panda Express has better ones. By the end of this meal I felt even worse about myself and the day as a whole. I didn't even finish half of either dish, and there was no way I was going to keep evidence of my regret in the fridge. To the trash cans outside it went. Probably the most productive thing I did that day. read more

This restaurant gets 3 stars because we were sick the next day, I do not want to blame it solely on the establishment due to the fact it took 2 hours for our food to arrive through uber eats (poor communication and irresponsible driver). The sitting time could have easily been the contributing factor. The experience my boyfriend and I had getting this food was horrible and I totally understand that is not the restaurants fault. With that being said, the food was pretty good after waiting 2 hours. We ordered the house chicken special with brown rice, beef and broccoli with white rice, Kung pao shrimp, egg rolls and crispy dumplings. The food was overall very tasty but the portions were smaller then we get from other restaurants. read more

I hadn't had Pick Up Stix in literally over a decade and decided to try this location out of convenience..wow was I pleasantly surprised! As a vegetarian, I often have to compromise taste when I order at restaurants. However, I was so pleasantly surprised to see many vegetarian options! I loved the Kung Pao Tofu and felt that the lunch combo was a great deal. The service was fast and the employees were very sweet and had me feeling relaxed. I ended up receiving an unexpected phone call and had to cover my dish for 20+ minutes (literally had only taken a few bites ) and when I opened it it was still warm and delicious! I was soo impressed with their to-go packaging. I hate having cold soggy food and that was far from what I experienced, even 30+ minutes after I ordered the food! I will definitely be back to try their other vegetarian options. Thank you for sticking around all these years! read more

Michelle at the pick up stix on bellflower Blvd is the absolute best! Pick up stix should be proud to have her as an employee. She is so sweet, helpful, and thoughtful. She always remembers my name, my order, and is constantly amazing me with her customer service. I keep coming to this location over any other location because of her! She's the best and again, whoever her boss is, should be proud to have her. Thank you Michelle! read more

They are always fresh, the food is good! I like coming here for lunch to get the lunch combo, it includes wontons with your entree! Parking can get crowded, but never too bad. read more

House Chicken. No, it's not a Game of Thrones family, its a great dish. Seriously, try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Giving 5 starts because not only is the food good, but the customer service is phenomenal. I ordered food off of postmates and when it was delivered super late, we realized that some of it was missing and also eaten. I called the restaurant and they were more than willing to replace the items that were missing even though the manager was certain that some were packaged for delivery. When I came to pick it up, I decided to reorder the rest of the items because we did not trust the postmates order since it was clearly eaten. The manager, Tony, was incredibly kind and helpful and even threw in some free chocolate covered fortune cookies. I wouldn't be leaving this review if it were not for Tony's excellent customer service. read more

My son and I came in to order food to-go. There was only 1 cook and 1 girl working the cash register AND preparing all the call in orders. I felt so bad for the girl who was working alone. She was busting her ass off. We waited for ~20 min for 2 lunch orders to go, which is not a big deal. This was at 12:15 so right in the middle of lunch. Then another girl came back from break like it was no big deal. Props to Michelle (I asked her name as we left) for working so hard. I give Michelle alone 5 stars! I hope management recognizes what a great employee Michelle is. read more

When I walked into Pick Up Stix recently, I couldn't believe how much it had changed for the better. The updated location is bright and welcoming. I immediately comment to the kid behind the register, "Nice remodel." he said thanks, it was finished nearly a year ago. Yikes. Guess I have been to PUS in a while, huh? Anyway, as enthusiastic as I was about the remodel, the food left something to be desired. Don't get me wrong, it was fine, just sorta bland, which isn't how I remember it. Don't worry Pei Wei, The Stix ain't got nuttin on ya... read more

Contrary to what a lot of you thought, this is not an arts and crafts place. It serves food. I like this place for the same reason some of my Asian friends hate this place. Cuz there ain't no Asians working here. So no Asians, and it's not an arts and crafts store. Are we clear? Also they don't make anything until you order it. It has an upgraded taste of a 99 cent Chinese express. Meaning tastes cleaner and lighter, and the portions are a lot better. And they bring it to your table. So in the world of Chinese express type places, this is like gourmet! read more

So after watching TV and seeing those commercials for the new Honey Crispy chicken or whatever it's called, i decided to give it a try. It was around 3:15 and i got out of class. I decided to use my navigation feature on my phone to get the phone number of the Pick Up Stix's closest to me. I saw my friend, so i decided to talk to him until about 3:30, then i called Pick Up Stix. PUS: "Hello, how may i help you" Me:"Hi, i would like to do a take-out order" PUS:"Alright, what would you like to order" Me:"I would like to try that new honey crispy chicken plate thing" PUS:"The one that is only 4.99" Me: "Yes" PUS:"Anything else for you?" Me:"Nope" PUS:"May i have your name please" Me:"Garrett" PUS:"Derek?" Me:"Sure" PUS:"Alright, about 15 minutes" Me:"Thank you" I love how it's hard to get my name right. I get Derek, Eric, and Jared..usually. So after i get out of the parking lot with everyone else, which takes about 10 minutes, i head over to Pick Up Stixs. I get there, walk in, not very busy and a lady says "Are you Derek?" I just said yes and i paid for the food and left. So when i got home i took it out and wow, the portion was tiny! I guess i shouldn't have expected much for 4.99. The chicken was alright, not as good as advertised i guess. It was new so i just wanted to see how it was. I like to try new things so there yah go. You get a small portion of the salad, rice, and chicken. It comes in the huge container though that took a while to open. It was a little tough to get open. Not that i'm weak, it's just i didn't want to put all my strength into opening the box and then having the food fly all over the place. read more

I like this place. I especially like the fact that they forgot to put even one single wonton in my wonton soup last week. It happens. Pick up Stix is decent, but I'd say you're much better off finding some local chinese place. It'll be a lot better and possibly cheaper. Eat the MSG, it's tasty. read more

Think McDonald's - then think far eastern food. A smattering of Americanized Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean. I would not go there for the ambiance or the gourmet eating. Only go if your expecting fast food that is a bit salty and fatty. The pad thai is pretty tasty though. But, fast food style. If you are disturbed by fast food - you will not like it here. But, if you love fast food and have a hankering for pad thai with shrimp this might be just the place for you. read more

Never again! I'm sick of being fleeced by over-priced quasi Asian slop. This place has had their way with me for the last time. I think I got food poisoning this time. Bad service and bad food, what a great business idea?! When I want mediocre cheap Chinese, I'm sticking with Panda. read more

The food is ok, but as always this place has the slowest service in town. I cannot believe that it takes almost a half hour to get food here, even if nobody is in line ahead of you. The employees have no sense of urgency, and I do not understand how anybody from the corporate office thinks this situation is ok. There are so many places to eat in town that it is amazing that this restaurant is still in business. I contacted the corporate office about the terrible service at this location and they referred me to a manager from another area, as the one for this one was in Las Vegas. Do they not have phones in Las Vegas? Give me a break, I guess the whole corporate culture does not care about customer service. read more

I'll be blunt. The food is fresh and fast and semi-expensive but they have large portions. I recommend going online and printing out a coupon on their website. If your tired of greasy Chinese come get your Pick Up Stix on and don't forget to get a bag of their friend Cream Cheese Wontons, they're sinful! read more

This pick up sticks is my shit. I went today and actually I'm still here as I write this I'm so damn excited and hyped on how delicious this food is. The staff was awesome and gave us so much love in a world that is cold and unforgiving. Tia was dope whole place was dope 10/10. read more

Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors - Me enjoying my pick up stix drink - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

I really like pick-up stix ... just NOT this location !! I work close by and work friends like to go to this complex because there are several lunch choices. We can meet in the middle at the common table area. But, If you go to Pick-up stix, you'll arrive at the table with your friends DEAD LAST! I mean, they'll all be done eating by then, so you should get yours to go. Otherwise, eat yours while they all stare at you. Why do I keep trying this place? I guess it's because I have such luck at their Seal Beach or Marketplace stores. I really like the made-to order idea instead of the steam table. Please kick my ass if you see me at the Bellfower location. I can;t seem to learn my lesson here. Today = 25 minutes for a simple shrimp noodle dish ... the one on the SPECIAL ! ... After I inquired after 15 minutes of waiting! ... and asked for it to go instead! ... Pick Baja Fresh next door instead. Always quick, made to order service, read more

Today I received a call from the other manager of the Bellflower store and she not only apologized but followed they with what the other manager had said he would do. This is why I continue to go to this Pick up Stix location. Thank you. The only reason i'm giving this a two star review is in hopes that the manager that was on duty at the time will follow through with his promise. I had placed my order via the online process and as usual I ordered my pad Thai chicken with no carrots and no peanuts they have never ever gotten this wrong and I also order the house chicken with brown rice well I went to the Bellflower location picked up my order because it was ready on time like always same with the Lakewood location always on time always correct well I guess you can't always bowl a perfect game and this proves my point. I come home open up the pad Thai and notice bean sprouts are missing which means that they have gotten the order wrong. Well I take a bite and sure enough there are peanuts in the pad Thai which totally ruined it. PI don't like peanuts; yes there is a peanut sauce but I don't like to eat peanuts in my food so I called the store explained what I didn't like and he said no problem I'll send you some free entrée coupons it is been a week now and still have not received my coupons. It's bad enough I didn't eat dinner that night.... well let me rephrase that...bad enough I paid over $17 for a meal I didn't get to eat but to only have toast and jam for dinner was a total bummer then not to receive your free entree coupon is a real slap in the face so now I'm only giving you one star cause I'm f'n pissed and starving. read more

Now I love some quick Asian food..however I am not a fan of food poisoning..How do you go right from cleaning the restrooms to preparing food for delivery with out missing a beat..then the manner ask did you clean them really good?.I mean the sink is right in front of me and I never saw you use it.I would give you a pass because it's almost closing but...the pass you'll won't make a happy customer..I like coming here for quick Asian fix..but please improve employee practices! read more

The service was good. But the food was wack. I ordered some sweet n spicy noodles. Was like half broccoli and tons of carrot way too much of both. Worst part big nasty, bone left in the chicken read more

Pricier version of Panda and less portions. Food takes some time to come out because they make it when you order it. So it's not like it's already made and they just scoop. I had the honey chicken which actually wasn't that bad. I asked for fried rice with it. Never have I experienced bean sprouts in fried rice. Needless to say, the rice sucked. I've had worse Chinese fast food so I'm not going to dock Pick Up Stix for trying but it definitely won't be one of my first choices. read more

Ordered a noodle dish that was supposed to have chicken, except they forgot to put the chicken, and I only realized that halfway through eating. Tried to go up to the counter, but they were so busy, could not get anyone's attention. When I informed the woman who took my order, she smiled and apologized, but THAT WAS IT!! Um... you guys didn't give me what I ordered, sooo... You ripped me off! Besides that the portion was so-so for the 7 clams I shelled out and the noodles were incredibly greasy and salty (could have used a wedge of lime on the side.) Will not be going back. Expensive and mediocre. read more

Pick up sticks is awesome but this location is terrible. I paid for noodles and orange chicken and they split my noodles into two cartons. No chicken just one order of noodles! Wtf. Didn't find out till I got home. This was not a mistake this was purposely done by the chef. I also waited about 30 minutes for my order. My girlfriend just had a similar experience at this location. We're both never going back to this place and you shouldn't either. If you do go and place an order to go make sure you check your order before leaving. read more

Wanted to order some food in store but was informed that due to a large phone order I would have to wait 45-1hr to Order anything. So I asked, I'm I being punished because I walk in the store which was pretty empty? I guess in store customers don't matter anymore NEVER COMING BACK.... read more

Nothing sucks more than people who done listen all I asked for was 4 items with no veggies and boom once I got home there was veggies all throughout my meal. I guess I have to check my order from now on because people can't get simple things right. read more

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

One hyphenated word, "Chicken-crack"... That's what I call it... Lemme 'splain. It was about the 3rd time I ordered the house special chicken, I was about half way through with my meal when I backed my head away from my plate and realized that I had been devouring this meal like a starving, rake-mad, completely out of control man-wolf thing... Then I realized, this is how I eat the house chicken EVERY time. Because it's like crack cocaine to me. I NEED it. I MUST have it. Get the HELL out of my way when chicken-crack is in the same room as I am... That being said, I don't know how ANYTHING else tastes at this place. I want so badly to try other stuff, but every time I order I cannot stop from blurting out "CHICKEN-CRACK!". I DID try the house chicken wings when they were available and guess what, tastes like chicken-crack wings. Delicious. Ok, enough about the chicken-crack. Service: I don't know, I order my chicken-crack to go. Ambiance: I don't know, I don't eat my chicken-crack there. Price: It's kinda pricey. read more
