So, my first few times here were pretty good experiences. They have very good fast-food chinese that kept me coming back. I lived downtown, and it was walking distance and very conveniently located on King St. But on my 4 or 5th visit, I actually dined in and that's when it all went downhill. They took me to this little area in the back (I know most of downtown Charleston restaurants are tight-fit but this is only one of the cons) and seated my friend and I. I looked around, and there were 2 other tables occupied. As for the empty tables, they were all dirty. I just didn't understand why they didn't clean up after the customers that had sat there already left. One table...understandable. But this was like 4 or 5 other tables! It was completely gross. Also, they had this tub of ice tea in which they just used a pitcher to scoop it up and serve to us. What happened to drink dispensing? This was like a TUB, it looked like something I put my dirty dishes in!! Before the night was over, I saw 3 critters crawling around. So bottom line, do NOT eat in!!

And as for take-out, I don't know if you want food prepared by people who keeps such bad conditions in their restaurant. Your choice--as for me, I'm definitely not coming back.

I've eaten at Chopsticks about once a week for a couple of years. It is popular with many professionals in the area. The food is tasty, and the staff is friendly, and the value is excellent. I recently took two friends there and they were very, very pleased with the meal. The ambiance is that of a small, fast service restaurant, and nothing is fancy. Their English skills are weak, but that is part of the charm. The food is very tasty, and I haven't had better, at any price, in this area.

I have lived in China, and American Chinese food only vaguely resembles real Chinese food, but Chopsticks has a wide ranging and tasty menu. I know many people who eat there at least occasionally, and no one has ever mentioned an unpleasant experience. I have never seen any unsavory critters around there.

I live near the Chopstick House and refuse to eat there. Not only is it the worst Chinese food that I've ever eaten in my entire life, but there are rodents running around everywhere and the management is rude. I would exhaust every possible option in the Charleston area before selecting this restaurant. I would actually rather eat a pack of crackers for dinner than Chopstick House.

I used to grab a bite from this place a couple times a week when I was living downtown. It's location on King Street is very convenient and the price is perfect for the amount of food you get. I recommend their soups, especially the Egg Drop! Oh, and if you don't feel like getting it to go, there's seating in the back. Make sure you order their sweet tea, it's delicious!

When we moved to Charleston I was bummed to learn that the Chinese delivery downtown is limited. I haven't had really good Chinese in Charleston yet, but if I order, I order from Chopsticks House. I have learned not to order anything with broccoli b/c there is so much oil in the dishes I've tried that the veggies tend to soak it up and get very soggy. I'm a fan of their hot and sour soup and the baby eggplant with garlic and shrimp is yummy! I also miss good, light bean curd options. Bean curd ordered at Charleston chinese places always comes fried.
