I was passing by and decided to try Pick Up Stix. I stayed because the food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. From the moment you walk in, they greet you and make you feel welcome. I told them it was my first time trying this type of food, and they recommended a great dish. The recommendation was excellent. I will definitely come back soon!

service here is friendly and welcoming food is great which is a plus !
Gloria was so friendly, she greeted us warmly when we walked in and was ready to take our order as soon as we decided what we wanted. She even offered a helpful, friendly suggestion so we would have enough food for our group! It's so nice to see hardworking, professional people like Gloria and the rest of the crew that was working today...it's clear that they have excellent work ethic and that they value their jobs! Clean location, friendly staff and delicious food made fresh to order! 🤗
If i could give 6 stars for service, I would. The folks here are great, friendly and they cook great food.

I came to visit my fiance, she took me to pick up sticks on Fairview and MacArthur. We had a wonderful experience. Great food and an amazing staff. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to our kids. I would highly recommend you visiting for good food with great people.
Yesterday we revisited this place and were pleasantly surprised.Huge improvement over our last visit (as what I posted in yelp) Now the place very clean, the staff very helpful and kind. We try the sticky chicken wings on the top of rice with fried wonton, it’s perfect taste! not burnt!

Absolutely 100% mo better mo better ;) Then I expected Shared the Honey Hot entree and medium WonTon soup All of it was hot, fresh, and delicious Service was great from the second you walk through the door expect a Welcome In! All the staff is in sync and attentive. Outstanding
We ordered the 3person family deal. We love the house chicken. You need to ask for a senior discount they might give one. The fried rice has plenty of egg and bean sprouts as well as normal square carrots and peas. I didn't like the chocolate fortune cookies but that's just me. Some one took care of us as we dinned in. They were nice. Overall the food didn't get to us very hot but it was still good .

Order from here often and do mobile orders. Food is always ready when its supposed to be and staff is always nice.
Stopped in for a quick lunch with hubby. I ordered the grilled salmon salad and hubby the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. Everything was just about over salted. The salmon salad was saved by the vinegar-based dressing and mandarin wedges. Hubby's fried rice was mostly salty and the chicken was good without the sauce. The staff were friendly enough. The restaurant was clean; the bathroom immaculate.
Really liked the fact that they let me order at 9 o'clock.The orange chicken was so so though.

Worst decision I've made in a while, I spent a lot of money on food that was horrible! The food was low quality starting from the orange chicken which didn't taste like orange chicken at all! I bought my daughter a kids meal with chowmein but the chowmein tasted like rubber! And my wife got kun pao shrimp which was really salty..she got a sore throat after eating it makes me wonder of they use fresh ingredients or not!! For sure I'm Never going back there again what a disappointment!!

Was at the Santa Ana location on 5/28 @ 5:20pm order # 20043. Cashier looked tired, even leaning her head on the register. Seemed inconvenient when asked questions about new items. However, biggest complaint is the smell of the restaurant. Possibly swerer issue or strong floor cleaner, took food to go due to smell and also very dark. I have noticed this issue before. Not planning on going back. Food was okay, part of food tasted burnt. Orange chicken was good.

The girl taking our Monserrat had an attitude when I asked her a question I had to ask the manager about the menu’s options also we ordered our food there were people behind us waiting to order they had a bigger order than ours and got there food before us i told the manager why did they get there food before us and he kinda brushed it off the girl was standing there putting her two sense will not be going there again
Awful chewy food. Threw it all away. Got a refund from DoorDash. Terrible quality
The food is terribly Oiiiiily😫 I tilted the food plate and easily you could see 4-5 tablespoon of oil!!! I left my plate half- eaten and threw it out. And the oil smelled and tasted bad! I don’t know what kind of an oil was it! Nowadays, everyone has health issues to different extent. So, please know that oil doesn’t make the food delicious, as a matter of fact it covers the taste of the ingredients; plus it’s not good for people’s health. Be mindful please.
