Pick Up Stix - Lake Forest

Ordered individual portions to share and they were super SMALL!! I would never pay this much money for such small portions. Very, very disappointed. Not worth it.

The quality was not good. The rice tasted and looked like boil in bad rice.

I found the Thai coconut curry shrimp to be quite good, with a nice touch of spiciness. The chow mein was decent for $8, although the portion sizes were quite small, likely a result of inflation. Unfortunately, the wonton soup was rather bland, so I probably won’t order that again. I would recommend getting Panda Express for a better value at that price.

The food tasted like stale meat, and there was no sauce or caramelization at all. It felt like there was a complete lack of effort put into the dish. I won't be ordering from Pick Up Stix again; their quality has really declined.

My selective kids are willing to eat here. It's not Din Tai Fung, but it's quick and comforting. We usually order the Crispy Honey Chicken and General's Orange Chicken, both mild and sure to please the kids.
