Stix — Restaurant in California

Sustenance in between the slot play

Snax & Stix are the sole fast food options inside Valley View Casino, both occupying the same location - same lines for ordering & pickup. Stix Noodles & More provides Asian-inspired items for those not looking for the typical pizza & dogs.

The menu is a mix of various cuisines. Sushi, pho, teriyaki bowls & various soup. Being the soup-loving son of a gun that I am, I chose the wonton soup ($6)- 5 wonton, with carrots, cabbage, green onions, peas in chicken broth & including crunchy wonton wrappers. Stix sure went heavy-handed with the peas. Lots & lots of peas. I didn't know wonton soup was supposed to come with peas. Other than that, however, the soup did the job and warmed the soul. The wontons were of a good size with a fair amount of meat filling. The broth was salty & flavorful, which I sipped in between daydreams of winning it big & going on a trip to an exotic location by the beach, wearing extra snug Speedo's ;p

The wait for my soup wasn't long, even during lunch hour. Several tables available for dining, with scarcity depending upon the time of day.

Stix Noodles & More offers up fair Asian cuisine. I wouldn't spend $8.50-$10 for their sushi rolls, nor their pho. But, the wonton soup was a respectable offering with a decent price. I was charged up & ready to go for more hardcore slot machine debauchery.

Saturday mid-afternoon I was looking for a quick bite to eat. Decided on a hot dog & salad. The Cafe which is consistently good in terms of service, menu selection and food taste/preparation closes relatively early (2:00 PM) so the only other immediately available (or so I thought) option was the Snacks/Stixx window (Note: a few tables & chairs are available). Ended up standing in line for 65 minutes primarily because it was crowded but also because the service was very slowwww. The food service manager & team did not anticipate more than a few customers; so, they were not prepared! ...

Who owned this place. Counters ladies were rude and very slow. They had a line and numbers systems. Those whose stand in line with their number and who don't. When asked why they're serving people without numbers, their response was go complaints with the management....
