What People Are Saying About Chopsticks

In Short – This neighborhood eatery features a dark, glam-lounge look. Asian sensibilities temper the beetroot and pistachio color scheme with spare, sedate and functional decor. The menu has a range of Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese dishes. Stellar starters include crisp fried wontons with dense meat filling, crunchy salad rolls and pork-filled potstickers. For entrees, there's the vermicelli noodle bowl with grilled pork or the steaming-hot pho, a perfect balance of strong beef stock and pungent basil.

BAD PLACE FOR THAI FOOD
by Stepher at Citysearch
2 of the 3 Thai dishes were done so badly I'm not sure they were thai any longer. The Tom Kha was curdled tasting (missing lime maybe?) and the Papaya salad tasted like it was dressed with Italian salad dressing.
- Pros: extensive menu, maybe something else is good
- Cons: Thai done wrong

Great dishes
by ayc_alvinarc at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I went to Chopsticks last year, and we really like the place. We ordered Calamari as appetizers and it was great! We ordered two main dishes, one of them being a fried rice dish. The fried rice included Chinese sausage, and my boyfriend loves it!
The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly. One thing I don't like about the place was the placement of the table. It was really cold when anyone enter and leave at the place my boyfriend and I were seated. Other than that, I would recommend Chopstick to everyone.
- Pros: Food, service, atmosphere
- Cons: Parking, same place

Best Asian Restaurant Ever!
by Huyner88 at Citysearch
The food is fantastic. I try to come here as often as I could. My favorite dish here has to be the garlic green beans. Appetizer you ask? Hot and sour soup with salad rolls. To top off the meal with a nice chilly Thai Iced Tea that is always made to perfection every time I go there. Along with great customer service, what more can you ask?
- Pros: Garlic Greenbeans, Fried Calamari, Thai Iced Tea, Great Customer Service
- Cons: The far table in the back of the restaurant
The Details on Chopsticks
What to Drink:
Try the Vietnamese coffee, a good alternative to latte. It's as bitter as it is milky (made from condensed milk).
Know Before You Go:
Entrees can be hit-or-miss, so the trick is to order several appetizers and salads, which are all generally well done, and make pho your main course.
Where to Sit:
Ask for a stool by the windows--it's one of the best people-watching perches on the block.
