I stopped to get a bite, after 10 hours on the road with a restless 1 yr old kitty named Sly. The truck has a nicely treed patio area for shade in the summer heat. The outdoor dining area is large enough with picnic tables that are spaced far enough from each other for a sense of coziness and you don't feel crowded. It has ample parking and it is really an intimate kinda setting, that was unexpected on a service road along the highway in Fernie. @ 63y/o I do not have the voracious appetite of my youth, my point is the Chopstick gives you more than ample portions in my opinion. They bill themselves as Vietnamese Street food, and man I am hooked. I plan to stop every time I am going through Fernie now, because I now have a reason. I was pleasantly surprised at the generous helping of BEEF in my bowl. I'm not kidding, there was enough that I made this meal into 3 meals, the mixture of legumes and veggies and noodles was intoxicating, if there is such a thing in food. I also got one of their large lemonade drinks to quash my thirst on a tinder dry and hot summer day that was buzzing with the thump of fully loaded Helios dipping water out of the Elk river, yet the tree canopy of their patio eating area helped insulate us from the intensity of what was going on around us. We were delayed 3 times going to Creston from wildfires, the Chopstick was such a welcome reprieve from the chaos of this wildfire season. I tied sly to the leg of the picnic table and had an enjoyable meal under the cooling branches of the trees. I am sorry I am not more precise in what I ordered, but I will follow up on my return trip. Fernie is such a cool old town with loads of downtown history, the Chopstick is a perfect fit for this mountain resort town, I took Sly the kitty for a good walk around the BMX track at the Fernie Aquatic {Center 250 Pine Ave, Fernie, BC V0B 1M2}, a good place to cool the family off on a hot fire season day, a good reason to get off the highway, there is a splash park for the kids to enjoy and a super...

The food was good (a twist on Vietnamese). Loved the outside space but leaving this 1 star review due to atmosphere and reason I will never return here again or recommend. I was shocked at the gossiping and scowling (behind people’s backs) I saw and heard coming from the ladies working the food truck!! They were very nice & friendly to everyone’s faces but our party of 7 adults sat close enough to the truck to see and hear some pretty unprofessional, rude, and unwelcoming comments. They were in particular awful to the families with kids, even when kids appeared to be decently behaved (they are kids eating outside in a casual grassy space though -which very reasonable imo for them to play around too). They have a kids menu, but the “kid-friendly” stops there. I would never bring my kids here (even though from the outside looks like a perfect spot to eat as a family!). And these ladies still gossiped and scowled behind people’s backs even if they didn’t have kids with them (it was 2 younger girls- early twenties maybe- and an older woman - maybe one of their mothers? Working that day. All of...
