Chopstix Express — Restaurant in Grand Junction

I used to eat at this place at least three times a month and tell everyone about it. After today I will no longer support their business. It's usually the female owner scooping food, but today it was the bald headed man. I never paid attention to how many scoops of food they count for each little compartment of the container. He kept asking me how many scoops and I said I didn't know and to just fill the lower half of the container with noodles like normal. He huffed in frustration, slammed my container down, and moved on to the next customer. The female owner came over to finish my order and explain how many scoops they count. I told her I didn't know that before.

Say hello to the golden waving cat while you're there.

I would recommend this place for a quick pile of egg rolls if you only have...

I’ve been coming to Chopstix Express since my college years, and to this day, they never disappoint. It’s one of those places that might not look fancy from the outside, but it’s stood the test of time for a reason. The food has always hit the spot—fresh, flavorful, and comforting. Every visit brings a bit of nostalgia for me. It holds a special place in my heart, kind of like a piece of my youth wrapped up in takeout boxes and sesame chicken.

Yes, it’s a little run down, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. They’ve been here for so long, and that consistency is rare nowadays. If you’re looking for flashy, go elsewhere—but if you want food that’s reliably delicious and a local spot with heart,...
