China Stix Restaurant

Finally decided to try this place.Who I presume is the owner (older male) was asking each table how everything was. He was about to pass my partner and I. My partner politely asked for a refill and he had a big attitude. When he brought the drink we said thank you and he rolled his eyes. This was a very weird experience. My partner and I were both hungry so we ordered a lot. 4 plates to share with the thought we would take leftovers to my parents. Well, we had plenty left (more than half our plates were full) and when we got home to put food in Tupperware for my parents separately, we had the tiniest boxes. There's no way they packed all of our food. We did think it was odd they took our food to the back to box it but didn't say anything. Won't be coming back.

I cannot comment on the price point since I did not pay. But the food is delicious, especially the honey walnut battered shrimp and the stir fried beef and Chinese broccoli. They also do their mushroom medley dish really well. A good place for hosting parties up to 70 people.

This is a Northern China restaurant that have been around for 15 plus years . Their dim sum lunch has been very popular. We went tiger for dinner on Sunday . Their business have gone down a lot . I was surprised that they only have to go menu and not the nice Chinese menu book. We have ordered seafood ( stir fried vegetables with giant scallop and prawn ) , beef ( scallion beef ) and pork ( salt and pepper spare ribs ) . The seafood and beef were good but the spare rib was too sticky and salty . The service was good and the waiter was very attentive. Price is very good compared to most restaurants in that area . They did not add 18 % tips on the bill . We would definitely return for more dishes . P.S. their Peking duck was good but needs 6-8 people to finish that . This time we only had 4 person .

Came here for dinner last night and for the most part everything was wonderful. When we first arrived we were seated right away and the order for drinks was taken. After we received our drinks, our food order was taken. The service up to the delivery of our food was excellent. The restaurant had 2 big events going on. After our food was served the service dropped off some. The food was excellent as usual and China Stix is still one of our favorite places to go for a meal.

Picked up pork egg foo young with pork fried rice to go. For over $40 it lacked flavor especially in the gravy, I ate here before and food was amazing but this time it just lacked. I would definitely go back but wouldn't recommend the above dish.

The food and service were excellent. I think flavors and volume seemed better than the olden times.

Food was tasty although service was lacking. Went for a Saturday lunch and had a banquet menu. Restaurant tried to rush us out by taking away plates and chopsticks before the lunch session ended. We were the only tables in the banquet side of the restaurant that day. Not diner minded.

I rate this place a 4 stars because its sad to see so many chinese banquet places close down. There are a lot of fond memories going to chinese banquet halls for red egg and ginger, weddings, random celebrations, etc. We came here after a funeral, so there were around 60 of us in the back room. They have the normal round tables as well as an area to project a computer if you're showing a video or slide show. Its also a nice quiet secluded room from the rest of the restaurant. After we sat down, it took a little bit for the food to come out. But when it started, it never stopped. It being a banquet style, we received the jelly fish appetizer platter, asparagus, fried shrimp lettuce wrap, "shark fin" soup, fried shrimp with the lobster claw, lobster, beef and scallops, duck/buns with hoisin sauce, fried rice, mushroom and vegetables, and a few more. We ended the night with a sticky rice with beans in a pineapple. All the food was excellent and my favorite was the beef with scallops. Because it was a big banquet, service was slightly better than usual. I hope this place continues to survive throughout the years because its definitely a really good option if you're looking to hold a large party of people.

I loveee the orange chicken here! Definitely try it out if you are in Santa Clara area. My second favorite dish would be the honey pecan prawns. We tried kung pao chicken, it doesn't have a spicy kick to it so kinda disappointed on this one. We tried one of the tofu beef soup (which I realized only available on their Chinese menu (?)), it was okay. Service was quick we got a seat within 1 minute. Great for family gathering. Price was pretty reasonable, the portion did justice.

I am surprised that I have not yet left a review for this wonderful restaurant. China Stix is our family's most favorite Chinese restaurant in all of the Bay Area. We've a standard set of menu items that we order every time we go there. And we enjoy it thoroughly each time as well!I've not found firecracker chicken that tastes as good as theirs anywhere else. And their shrimp dumplings are always fresh and delicious. Finally, the chili oil seasoning can take any dish up to a 10. We've been regular visitors to China Stix for 20+ years now and hope it'll be around forever. Highly recommended.
