| - The past few days I have been taking advantage of Chinese restaurant lunch specials in my area. Yesterday, I hit up Chop Stix (in the Eastern at Windmill Smith's shopping center).
I've been going to Chop Stix for approximately five years. I expected a three to four star experience.
I sat down before 4 pm, when the lunch special was still available. At Chop Stix, the lunch special is served with the crunchy noodles, a can of soda, and the entree with fried rice. Deviating from the norm of a good number of Las Vegas Chinese restaurants, chow mein noodles are not included.
Chop Stix has a few things that the Chinese restaurants that I've dined in lately don't. Lo mein is offered as a lunch special entree. That was my entree! Instead of forcing won ton soup lovers to fork over $6 for a quart of won ton soup, Chop Stix also serves a pint of it for $2.65. Minus the chow mein, a larger portion of the meal features the entree.
The service is average. Sure, I would of enjoyed the won ton soup ahead of the entree, and not to have had to get up to ask for duck sauce, then for a straw. In life nothings perfect.
Before the tip, a lunch special plus a pint of won ton soup costed approximately $8.50. Wow! All this freshly cooked Chinese food runs for around the exact price of Panda Express.
