| - Apparently I went to a different Pick Up Stix than Richard and Chris.
*checks receipt*
Nope. Same one.
Anyway, I didn't have any trouble with the doors, I don't really care too much about the color of sweet and sour sauce so long as it tastes good, and I wasn't expecting anything above and beyond Panda Express. It's Asian fast food. I had moderate expectations.
I got better than moderate results.
The food was quite good. My girlfriend who is incredibly picky about chicken wings had tried the house special wings just hours before at the Camelback location while out and about and wanted more. This location was closer to home, so I went there and picked up stuff aside from the wings.
We got egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and wonton soup, all of which were very good. Nothing gourmet about it, mind you, but very good.
Teresa, the woman taking orders at the front counter, was friendly and helpful. Not overly so, but I didn't feel like she was completely bored with the world, either. The guys in the kitchen worked fast and got the food to me within a very few minutes (about 5 is what it felt like, but I wasn't counting). I picked it up at the counter and went on my way home for some delicious food that stood up to microwave reheating the next day for lunch.
Not a huge variety of food, but what they serve seems to turn out quite well. I've been to the Camelback location a couple of times. This is my first at the Chandler location. I've yet to be disappointed.
**Added August 4, 2009: Went back to the same location a couple nights later to try their beef teriyaki bowl and chicken fried rice. Again, both quite good, though there was too much sauce on the teriyaki.
