Originally scheduled a pickup, but was earlier than expected. They easily allowed me to get it earlier, and the food was amazing!
Its quick and efficient, always tastey. If getting the bourbon chicken, ask for extra sauce and know they have noodles if you prefer those over rice. Double meat is always a win.
A meal, most satisfying, I have discovered at Chop-Stix Bourbon BBQ & Sushi. Ordered, I did, the Bourbon Chicken & Shrimp with Lo Mein—a dish of great value at only 9.49 credits. Generous in portion, rich in flavor, it was. The balance of sweet bourbon glaze and tender shrimp, most harmonious it proved to be. Tested further was my palate with a Philadelphia Roll. Smooth was the cream cheese, fresh was the salmon, and well-constructed the roll remained. Strong in sushi craftsmanship, they are. Service, though counter-based, was swift and efficient. Kind, the staff were. Felt, was the warmth of hospitality. Quickly prepared, the food was—yet rushed, it did not seem. When hunger strikes like a Sith Lord in the night, know this: Chop-Stix answers the call with speed and skill. To those seeking good food at a fair price, I say this—trust in Chop-Stix, you must. Satisfied, you will be.
Sushi was delicious. Bourbon Chicken did not disappoint. Sushi had a long wait which is ok but they decided to give us the bourbon chicken right away so that practically got cold by the time sushi done. Prices seemed fair for what you got. Rangoon not my favorite.
I remember getting this with my Gma every time we went to the Wausau Mall. All these years later I found bourbon chicken again! And I think I saw some familiar faces. This really brought back memories. Great food. Great service. It’s good to be back!
