| - 3.5 STARS
Chopstix is a small Chinese Restaurant with a take-out atmosphere located in the Mark's Street Walmart Supercenter Shopping Center (southeast corner of Sunset Road) in the building parallel to the road. Located a considerable distance from the Walmart Supercenter, there is sufficient close by parking.
Driving all over the southeast valley on the search for Plantar Fasciitis boots, I was hungry by the time that I left Sear's. Recently, I observed a Chopstix in the nearby Walmart Supercenter Shopping Center. From that time forward it lived in my head as a mental bookmark. It was time to scratch off this mental bookmark.
I am a fan of the Chinese restaurant luncheon special. When the Chinese restaurant is high-grade, the luncheon is very reasonable. At Chopstix, they feature both a luncheon and dinner combination special. The luncheon specials start at $6.25. The dinner combinations start off at $7.25.
There are two reasons that the Chopstix luncheon special stands out from the majority of the Chinese restaurant luncheon specials that I have ordered. The first reason is that the Chopstix luncheons exclude the customary soup of the day which is usually egg drop or hot and sour soup. The second reason, is that in place of the noodle based chow mein, the Chopstix luncheon includes lo mein. A beverage costs extra here. For the record I don't recall Chopstix giving me a fortune cookie. It's all good though.
Off the luncheon menu, I ordered the shrimps with lobster sauce. The kindly woman who took my order and payment chatted over all the people that like shrimps with lobster sauce. Maybe if I had told her about all the people who love New York style chow mein they would of added it to the menu. Anyways, I'd see her one more time when she delivered the food to my table.
The shrimps with lobster sauce luncheon included the following : lo mein (which I stated), an egg roll that resembled a spring roll, and fried rice. With a soda, the luncheon special came out to around $8. It was $8 well-spent. The shrimp with lobster sauce was delicious.
The delicious shrimps and flavoring of the lobster sauce served with savory lo mein is tasty food that leaves me with a favorable taste of Chopstix. It is a favorable taste worthy of 3.5 stars. Since they never gave me a fortune cookie, I'll write a fortune that says, "You may return to Chopstix when you are in the Mark's Street Walmart Supercenter Center parking lot before 4 'o' clock."
