Pick Up Stix

Always fast, fresh and so good. House special chicken is the best!

Overall it's very good quick Chinese food. I thought the sauce on the Orange Chicken was a little heavy, same with the sauce on the Chow Mein, a little heavy. The flavor was great, portion size was good. The temperature of the dish was awesome, like right off the grill, spice was just right. Several flavors to try, I will be back soon.

Food is consistently good, clean restaurant, and good presentation, but what I want to highlight is an assistant manager named Maribel. She loves her job, and it shows! Her attention is on the customer, making sure they have what they need and that they feel seen. As a boss, I can tell good work performance, caring, and good customer service, and this what Maribel shows.

House special chicken, how I've missed you. I moved, there's no Pick Up Stix in Arizona. I was home visiting, so I had to go.

My husband and I recently ate lunch at Pick Up Stix. I had the House Special Chicken, and my husband had the teriyakichicken with vegetables. Both were delicious. The food is made fresh there so it doesn't sit in a warming table. The customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It's a little noisy inside because of the food preparation, but it's not too bad. We really enjoy eating at Pick Up Stix.

Love the house chicken, house fried rice, and house chow mein. The general's chicken is also really good. They're fast and definitely better than Panda... except when it comes to orange chicken...I'm pretty sure Panda has cornered the market with that. They have way better fried rice and chow mein than Panda.

Consistently good and the quality is fresh. The food is cooked and prepared when you order it. Plenty of seating inside and parking is either tight or easy depending on the time of day. If the lot in front is full you can always find a spot on the side or in the main lot of the plaza. Friendly quick service even when you order in and have to wait. For faster service you can call your order in.

I had the basil shrimp 🍜 noodles for a grand total of 10.94. It was delicious. It was the pick me up I really needed. The spicy touch was very welcome. It tasted like fresh basil and well done shrimpies. The only complaint is that it is too salty. Their restroom stall are clean and spacious but there are only 2 in total

Paid extra for chicken breast. The chicken breast was tough and tasteless. It was inedible. Very disappointed as I have been a Pick Up Stix fan since before moving from Orange County in 2008. Never had such a bad experience there as I did today. I hope it's a one off.

Came in for dinner and the place was pretty empty with just myself and 2 other people. I took a couple minutes to view the menu since it's been a very long time that I have visited one of this locations. After placing my order with the cashiet lady that was grumpy and as if she did not want to be there I was a bit shocked to hear that my total for the meal I had ordered came out to $15+ Once I got my food at my table I was not impressed and the quality of the food was much lower than I prevent remeber it been. The locationbis very clean and well organized with a modern style, top 40 music playing in the background and a TV with random stuff playing. Perhaps was because it was almost closing time the staff was not in a nice mood. I'll give it anothet try some time and hope I get a better service

The last time I ate at Pick Up Stix was probably in 2004. The food did not meet expectations. The protein was lacking and I got more of the cornstarch than the real chicken or meat. Felt like mystery meat. Nothing was larger than a quarter sized in protein and it broke apart upon inspection. The only reason for two stars is that the veggies were real and the sauce was decently sweet. I’ll probably come back in another 10 years and see how it goes.

Take out order which included lettuce wrap had no hoisin sauce, only seven containers of chili sauce. First person I called hung up on me when asking to hold. Second and third people did not believe any sauce was expected. The supervisor eventually credited my order. Will have to go without this time, disappointed.

Please don't eat here if you are expecting fresh food and decent service. My date and waited over 45 minutes for soggy food that tasted like plastic because it was microwaved in the containers and overcooked lumps of rice. The noodles were rubbery and congealed and looked and tasted like it was sitting in a fridge for two days and the won tons were slightly burned. I have tried the food at the San Pedro location and the food was good and fresh so I was really unpleasantly surprised at the lack of quality and the long wait for the food we ordered. I felt bad for my date because he spent over $50 for the food only to wind up with a lot of leftovers going into the trash. 1 star because their never selection was decent. Update: 2/25/24 My date got sick with diarrhea and stomach cramps in the morning after he ate the leftovers he took home from the restaurant for breakfast. I'll definitely not be returning to this location and warning friends not to order from this place. Awful!

Disgusting. Order Drunken Noodles & the cashier takes it upon herself to add beef when the entree was ordered for a vegetarian to it to increase the price. Already overpriced for low quality meats/produce. "Lemme just add $2 more to your order which I clearly should ask before I push the button to add it to your total." You could probably get away w/ it if it wasn't like gnawing on a leather belt alas ... sub par & disgusting. No wonder ppl prefer Panda. Not me though. ASIA KITCHEN on Artesia is top tier.

Pretty dang AWFUL. We ordered pick up today for 5 people. I walked in to grab the bag and asked if the bowls were marked, and the young girl snapped at me:"If you wanted them labeled you should have said so when you placed the order." And then the food... ugh, GREASY, GREASY, GREASY!!! None of us could finish eating our food -- it was SO BAD. $54 bucks down-the-drain. 🤢😔 We will most definitely NOT be going back. 👎

First time trying it out and my last , food has to much sugar too sweet .. rice is ok , noodles were plain with no flavor. Basically I threw away more than half my plate.. thats how bad it was

First time here from out of town, we were greeted when we walked in but at the counter ordering the cashier was a bit rude and made us feel rushed to order. Food was done fairly quickly but did not meet our expectations. My rice felt room temperature and my firecracker chicken was so extremely salty as it had been cooked in the same sauce/oil used all day long. This seemed to be an upscale version of a Panda Express.
