Chopsticks restaurant is a Lakeside gem, providing high quality vietnamese, chinese, and hawaiian dishes that can be hard to find outside of large cities with international populations.
Weekly specials include chicken and beef pho (noodle soup), dim sum, and wonton soup. The everyday menu includes bun (salad with vermicelli and meat), a selection of poké rice bowls, bahn mi sandwiches with salad, and rice with salad and meat.
Protein choices include chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, surimi (fish made to resemble crab), and tofu.
Everything on the menu is delicious, and is prepared in a remarkably consistent manner. Owner Betty does much of the prep work and baking herself, and the crew works like a well-maintained machine.
Both English and Spanish are spoken.
For people with room for dessert there's homemade pie (coffeecake on Fridays) - and there's a wide selection of ice creams, some sugar-free.
Located in the bottom level of the Plaza Bugambilias shopping center in Ajijic, in the same building as the El Toro supermarket and...

But I tried something new -- Betty's Buttertart!! OMG! It was described as pecan pie with raisins -- absolutely 'Broke da Mouth' delicious! In fact, I ate my dessert first -- so I could concentrate on its texture and flavors. I think folks could hear me moaning as far...
