I LOVE this restaurant! We had a group lunch this afternoon at Chop Stick Cafe and I was amazed at the service considering the size of our party (16). I ordered the Smoked Salmon Roll and Thai Spicy Chicken Salad. The flavor makes my taste-buds pop! Most excellent!

Consistently excellent. I have never had a thing there that was even mediocre. The Thai Beef Stew is wonderful and very nice sushi. It has a very welcoming cozy atmosphere and you get a great feeling knowing you're supporting a small family-owned place. Don't miss it. Soooo much better than 97% of Winchester's offerings.

Finally made my first trip to Chop Stick Café for lunch on Friday afternoon. I’ve been eye-balling this place for a long time and with the number of positive reviews, I had high expectations. Chop Stick’s did not disappoint! The owner was super friendly and discussed menu options and sold my wife on the lunch special (3 piece shrimp and fish w/rice). Her meal had awesome flavor and a nice crispy crunch on the fish and shrimp. For an appetizer, we ordered the Philadelphia Roll. The 8 pieces were tasty and well portioned. My meal consisted of the Bulgogi BBQ Burger (with bacon). I didn’t option for the fried egg; however, it probably would have been great. Nonetheless, this burger is easily hands down the BEST burger I’ve ever had in Winchester! Super flavor and very large. This establishment is easily the best I’ve experienced in Winchester when it comes to fresh food, great menu selection and super friendly customer service. There is also a very large selection of beers to choose from should you decide to order from their beverage selection. I highly recommend Chop Stick Café!

Just moved to Winchester and still finding all the best local spots, and this is definitely one of them! Best Pad Thai I've found so far and their Raspberry Pie is absolutely amazing! The prices are great as well: Dinner, a beer, and dessert for $20!!! I've only been once, and that's all it took to be convinced that I'll be back!!

We first went to Chopstick Cafe a little over a year ago and have been regulars since. The food here is excellent. Everything we have had we have enjoyed. My favorites are the Saturday special which is the Orange Prime Beef (so tender with an excellent sauce), and I always get the fried wontons with the best dipping sauce ever (kind of a spicy duck sauce). My girlfriend's favorites are the Pho, the Japanese Seafood Udon Noodle Soup, the Pad Thai, and the Garden Rolls. I highly recommend this fine restaurant to all.

I don't know what took me so long to find this place but sure glad I did. The best sushi I have EVER had. I got a tuna roll and a california roll maki style it was a little pricey but good food is worth it. I'm going back tommorow i'm hooked !

I have been here twice and both times the food was absolutely delicious. The servings were a nice size and cheap too. Highly recommend.

Mediocre sushi at best. Tonight there were 2 large parties and an otherwise full to the brim house. The owners' children were running rampant through the small space and there was a band. I ordered 2 sushi rolls and a seaweed salad. After waiting over 30 minutes for my sushi to arrive, a sheepish teen (a daughter of the owners) informed me the "new girl" took my order to another table. So I didn't get my order--I got the other table's order. There was nothing comp'ed on my check and I paid full price for what I was served, but I also ran out of my drink and was otherwise ignored.

Will never go back again!

We went to Chop Stick based on the reviews on this site. The best Asian food in all of Frederick County! Their won ton soup has the most amazing broth I have ever tasted, and the sushi is sensational.

Went to Chop Stick Cafe for the first time based on recommendations from WincFood and had a great experience. We tried a number of dishes and they were all excellent. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. This is now one of my new favorite places in town to eat.

This is not your typical Chinese restaurant. The menu consists of sushi, sandwiches, a TON of appetizers, noodle dishes, etc. I do not have enough good things to say about the fresh, quality dishes that Chop Stick Cafe serves. The service is great too; a very "family oriented" feel....

GREAT GREAT GREAT! Haven't had Asian food this good in a long time, if ever. Just had the Wednesday special with chicken. Wow! Great service, great food!

My girlfriend and I have been to Chopstick Cafe a few times now and every time the food has been very good. My girlfriend loves the pad thai, the pho, garden rolls, and the key lime pie. I love the fried wontons with the spicy duck sauce. They have excellent sandwiches and fries as well if some of the Asian cuisine isn't your thing. The staff has been very friendly and the service has been good. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of restaurants we frequent.

After reading all the good reviews here (thank you WincFood for existing!!!) I decided to give this place a try. The reviews don't lie, it was fantastic!!! It may give my "go to" sushi place a run for it's money!!! Food was yummy, very fresh and made to order. Staff was great and happily granted our requests when asked if we could tweek something. I will be back soon and often!

Great food, great people !! Everything we have had there is wonderful. Best steamed dumplings I've had anywhere !!!

Great food!!!!! Very fresh ingredients a good atmosphere. The best black sticky rice with mango anywhere!!!

I'm always happy with the experience at Chop Stick Cafe, the food is always good and the people are always incredibly friendly. Tonight I had the steamed dumplings and a crispy tuna roll and I'm leaving totally satisfied. For a place that doesn't look like much, especially being across the street from the looming Piccadilly's Public House it is one of Winchesters best hidden treasures

There's a show on the Food Network called The Best Thing I Ever Ate, where they feature different catagories of food. I think I've officially found it in the soup category. This place serves a noodle soup called, rather awkwardly ableit accurately, on the menu, Thai Beef Stew Noodles. Think of the best Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) you've ever eaten amped up about twice as good. Beef bones and all sorts of aromatics like garlic, cinnamon, galangal, (kinda like ginger but not really) and some others I can't pick out, are simmered for about 8 hours, and the broth is served over rice noodles with shaved raw beef (brisket or round-eye I think) and topped with scallions, onion and cilantro. The richest most satisfying broth you can imagine. Caution: On one visit the beef was dry and crumbly, but only once. I personally like it with a squeeze of lime juice and a bit of sriracha chile sauce. You know the food is good when everyone at the table is eating and no one's talking. Heavenly! I asked the chef how she makes it, and she just smiled and said, "just with love." I hope heaven hires Joy as their chef.

The food is good here. I like this restaurant. The owners are very nice people and the Pad Thai is the best in town. If i am looking for Pad Thai.....Chop Stick Cafe is where i am going.

We are from mississippi. Everytime we go somewhere new, we always look for a Thai resturant. The food here is really good and full of flavor. Ingredents are fresh. Service was good. Seemed to be family owned and the cook is actually Thai. The best Satay I have ever eaten. Great place to eat. I will be back if ever in this area again.

Great food and service. Tried quite a few apps and every one was absolutely delicious. Tried a green curry softshell that was to die for. Sushi was great as well. Definitely will return soon this is the type of place where I would feel comfortable without a menu and let the owners tell me what I should be eating!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious! Great food and great service. Love it and will be back again and again!

Stopped in at Chop Stick Cafe during the Firefighter's Parade during the Apple Blossom Festival. Needless to say, it was pretty darn busy. My husband ordered the Pad Thai, I ordered the Pho. My Pho was alright. Yeah, just alright. I have been spoiled, I guess. I just couldn't taste any of the cloves or anise or cinnamon or any of those lovely spices that make pho so much more than beefy noodle soup. My husband's pad thai was pretty darn good, though! Spicy and yummy! I also love love love that they have a children's menu. It's hard enough to keep a 3 year old contained in a restaurant, but when there's nothing that 3 year old will eat on the menu, it's even worse! So, a big thank you to the owners for that little perk for parents! What made this place worthy of 5 stars was definitely the staff. Everyone was super friendly despite how crazy busy it was. The food came out in a timely manner. Our waitress was on the ball the whole time and we were very well taken care of. I will definitely be back!!

The best food in town. My husband and I are food snobs and love a good meal, from a dive or a nice place, and Chop Sticks serves one heck of an excellent meal. We eat here several nights a week. Haven't been to any other restaurant since we started going to Chop Sticks. Both Tom and Joy are wonderful cooks. They can make anything and it will always be delicious. VERY RECOMMENDED!!!

I eat at Chopsticks 3 times a week, really. It is that good. I don't order from the menu so if you want something they do their best to serve. One thing to ask for which you won't see is their chicken fried rice Thai style. UNBELIEVABLE. Tom delivers to us every time and don't let the location be a challenge. Parking is near at Kent Street garage and the service is uncomparable. The Pad Thai is the best in town and their home-made "everythings" (dressings, desserts) are great!! I enjoy giving Tom and Joy my business regularly. This is the best overall restaurant for choice I think there is.

Just had the most wonderful meal! The sushi was outstanding and everything was fresh! The little key lime bite at the end was pure heaven! I will go back again and again!

This restaurant is the best- the food is amazing. The owners are super kind....not one Asian/Thai/ Chinese restaurant can compete. 5-Stars!!

Yummy! I love thursdays special, it is fish and shrimp with a fresh herb sauce,omg. Love the pies too. They make their own pecan crust for some pies, just too good. Simply, great food, and great desserts.

As always, outstanding. We have yet to find anything on the menu that was below excellent. Tom and Joy do an excellent job in feeding you.

Excellent food...great attentiveness and fair price...this place rocks...I have been there 3 times in the last month and it is always fresh and excellent in flavor and presentation. Do not hesitate...you will not regret your visit.

OK, time to talk about fries. Yeah, French Fries. Who'd associate an Asian place with fries? But remember, this place is so multifaceted, and run by a delightful couple who truly love what they're doing.

The fries are skin-on and brined. They're then fried in clean oil at just the proper temperature. (read: plenty hot) They're then lightly salted. The result? A pleasantly crisp and greaseless masterpiece. Absolutely addictive! They're served with sandwiches or on their own, and are NOT to be missed. Tom (owner) explained, "Yeah, I could serve cheap fries, but then they wouldn't be the best." Sorry Five Guys, these are hands-down the best fries in town. (or maybe ANY town)

My fiancee and i decide to hit something new today (with coaxing) so Chopsticks we came..not the greatest part of Winchester(parking), put intriguing. gil got to throw a parallel in a snowy mix and it worked closer to the door thanhoped. cafe quaint, clean yet unfussy. Tom is very friendly and genuiene. Miso not on the menu is because They dont want to share..gotta be!! its going to ruin the next cup if not from there...all rolls questioning the size of your mouth and Yellowtail off the chain!! And yes we got key lime to go..Love, Shan & Gil.

amazing food amazing service one of the true gems in winchester. Owner was friendly and made you feel at home. The items we order were not on the menu but the were quik to make them for us.

Fantastic! After reading all the great reviews I was worried it couldn't be that perfect but it was! Every course was delicious and not expensive. We had dumplings, sushi, noodle soup and the tofu curry special-all fantastic! We finished with key lime pie which was authentic and made with fresh key limes. Would definitely go back-owners are very friendly.

GADS! What a jewel! Finally a truly superior Asian place in Winchester, where the folks are doing what they're doing because they love it, rather than just to get by. My wife and I went here today for lunch. I travel the country for a living, and eat lots of Thai, and I must say the coconut-chicken soup (tom gai) was the best I've ever had. Redolent of ginger and lemon grass and just enough heat to slighly bite back, the chef is mercifully light on the fish sauce, which can ruin this soup if too heavy handed. I can think of nothing more that could hit the spot on a cold day. It left us wanting more. The white meat chicken in the soup was tender, (not over cooked) and more generous than usually found. Pleasantly chewy mushrooms were also of the party. Stellar.
The special of the day was crispy beef or chicken, which came out hot and super crispy, dusted with corn starch (which crisps up much nicer than flour when deep fried.) with green beans and bell pepper. Served with white rice (did I taste garlic in the rice?) the crispiness was addictive, but a bit too sweet.
Also ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, tofu (tofu bland and a bit greasy) which came out of the kitchen with egg, bean sprouts, and a squeeze of lime. VERY good, avoiding the two common pitfalls of this dish, it was not too sweet or heavy-handed on the fish sauce.
Can't wait to try the sushi here. This is my new favorite Winchester haunt. We wish them well!!
DON'T miss the key lime pie, which the chef's husband makes on premesis. NOT made with bottled key lime juice, but real key limes. I know this because i tasted zest in my teeth which can only be the real thing. Addictive crust, too. head for this place ASAP

Chop Stick cafe has the BEST Thai food in Winchester... I think i could go to a restaurant in Thailand and be disappointed
If you havent stopped by you should!

Yes--believe the other good reviews. The food is good--the beer (bottle) is good--the desserts are beyond good. Try it--you'll like it.

Best desserts in town. Very good Thai.

Ordered a huge amount of sushi last night for take out. Price was great, food was absolutly amazing. Winchester has a lot of great resturant resources, and the Chop Stick stands out as one of my favorates. I love sushi and most asian foods, and they kick butt at making it wonderful. The staff is family, and the service is as good as eating with your own people. Job well done - keep up the great work on Piccadilly Street !

This is my new favorite place to eat in town. I'm a local and I can say that it has been a long time since Winchester has seen this kind of great food and service. The owners are fabulous hosts and there is nothing they serve that will disappoint. I feel comfortable going in and saying "bring me whatever you think" and I would be confident I would leave fat and happy. Don't miss this rare jewel.

great place. good people. yummy food.

Very good local restaurant. The owners are very friendly, service is good and the prices are reasonable. My wife and I have eaten there a number of times and have had great food each trip. I am all about supporting local business and am happy that this one really provides something worth paying for that is not your typical Winchester chain food fare. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you.

Wow! Another excellent find in Winchester! Have been hearing about Chop Stick Cafe for a while now and finally decided to stop in. The sushi is extremely well made and quite tasty. The Tom Yum was simply the beat I have ever had. Joy the chef happily whipped up some summer roles with peanut sauce (mmmmmmm) for us even though we could find them on the menu. Her husbands "poppers" for dessert were absolutely sinfully good! I already know I want to try the calamari and basil basil sauce... again not on the menu... and the wraps they were fixing that we saw... gotta try those as well... Ok, we have many future trips already planned!

For me, this is a Thai food place, tho I appreciate that others can find other options. You can get pretty much anything in the way of basic authentic and delicious Thai Food here. Because the kitchen folk are Thai, they are not limited by a menu, but can improvise no problem.

I ate at chop stick cafe on Monday, my wife had been with friends a week earlier and I was eager to give them a try after her review. I'm glad to say the food was great, the sushi was fantastic and incredibly well priced. The spicy tuna roll was really good and quite filling. Chop Stick Cafe is going to be a regular option with us now.

After reading some of the glowing reviews, we decided to give Chop Sticks a try for their sushi. Unfortunately the experience left a lot to be desired. The spicy rolls were bland and the sushi fish was sliver-thin and dry. Hope the other items are better.

I have been to this place twice, and I still want to come back. The food includes different thai, japanese, and korean dishes and is the most genuine oriental food I have found in Winchester. While not a formal dining place like "Winchester Thai," it has the feel of a diner. Price ranges from $4-12 and they add more items to the menu depending on demand. Also ask the owner for his specialty bake goods because he is an expert on pies and cheesecakes (by request of course).

We normally don't write reviews, but the food, the service, and the prices at this new restaurant were excellent. We would strongly recommend it! The sushi was great and if you don't care for sushi there is a huge variety of other choices on the menu. We will be going back again soon.

I have been several times and get something different everytime! When we walk in we are greeted with hugs and hellos and we love it. The family is loving and they love food. THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN!

VN

Have been to Chop Stick Cafe twice now and definitely intend to go back for more great food and service!
Great place to take family and friends.

We ate here last night and were very impressed. The location was rather concearning but after entering and being greeted by the very friendly waiter we relaxed. The food here is delicious. We could have ordered everything off the menu and not have been disapointed I think. The dessert was also very good. Overall, a nice place to come and enjoy a good meal. We will be back to try some of the other dishes and the key lime pie !

The sushi is the best in town.

Yayeeeee for JOY the sushi chef!! I love this place. Sushi is very good. Also they seem willing to prepare special little things without a price increase. What also is convenient is that if friends or family are not into sushi or Thia food they also have classic American food like burgers, french fries and wings. The prices are reasonable and saw it was a clean atmosphere. There are TV's for sports or the children. They will also deliver....sushi too! Hugzzzzzzzzzzzz to JOY :)

This place is amazing. Their food is excellent - always fresh, always delicious. My whole family went there for a holiday celebration dinner and all 7 of us raved about our different orders. There was one tiny miscommunication about what I ordered, but the correct food was brought out promptly (and the delay provided me the opportunity to get tastes of all my family's dishes! LOL), and then they took 10% off our bill to apologize for the slight delay! That's the sort of service I like to get. Everyone makes mistakes on occasion - no big deal - but they "made it right" - spectacularly!

Thanks Chop Stick Cafe - you're my fam's new "go to" place for Thai food

And to the idiot who gave the single negative review - DUH! You order "Chinese" food in a Thai restaurant, and what do you expect!? Thai is completely different from so-called "Chinese" food served in America (which isn't really Chinese food at all, by the way). If you went into an Indian restaurant and ordered pizza you'd probably be disappointed with the food too. (shaking head at the ignorance of some people).

Excellent food and service in a clean, friendly atmosphere. All that and such reasonable prices! Try this place and you will be back for more.

I have visited the ChopStick cafe several times. I am very pleased that the owners will make anything you request. I have tried something new every time I go in from sushi to the excellent bulgogi burger. They now have great wines to go with their delicious food. Great people...Great place

I went to chopstick cafe with my girlfriend about a week ago. It is definitely the Best Sushi in town. We moved here from Boston, where my girlfriend worked at a great sushi bar, and this is the first place we've found outside of NYC that she really enjoyed. It blows Sucilees out of the water. I'm definitely going back soon.

I had the tom yum shrimp,spicy roll yellowtail, asian hot wings and it was all outstanding. I recommended this restaurant to numerous coworkers and friends

What a refreshing change.

Thai beef noodle soup was pronounced as excellent by Mr.Chan. I loved the soft brisket and shrimp rolls. Pear pie was very good. When you need asian soup you no longer have to drive to arlington to get the good stuff !!

The food is great!! Not your typical Chinese food, but if you'd like to try something different I highly recommend it!

First of all the renovation of this old diner is brilliant. I don't see how the previous bad review could be directed at this restaurant? The food is fresh and handmade including all the desserts. Yes, there is a fusion of Asian/American foods going on here and it is very good. Probably one of my top two sushi experiences.

What a GREAT experience! GREAT SOUP! GREAT APPETIZER! GREAT ENTREE! GREAT DESSERT! Everything was home-made by CHEFS prepared perfectly. We will definitely be back!

Chop Stick Cafe has been open a week and I have been there TWICE. I had excellant personalized service from the staff. I love their sushi & sashimi. I have never been a fan of eel, but they have converted me. Fried bananas and fried ice cream are divine. I am looking forward to trying the pear pie and some of the burgers. It is a great concept with something for everyone! I highly reccomend the restaurant!

I was not sure what a Bulbogi was OMG it was simply the best!!

Not very good. Me and a coworker ordered from there in hope of having a good downtown chinese place. But its not really chinese at all. Its more of a random fusion. Tried the nigiri sushi. It was ok but the good old fashioned california rolls were horrible. The ginger was bitter and sour and tasted old. My coworker got egg rolls. They were greasey and she found pieces of shrimp shell inside it. Her fried wontons were pathetic. The meat inside was the size of a dime. I know this place is new and it takes time to work out kinks but they screwed up the bacis simple things. I will give them one more chance, but that might not be for awhile.
