General Joe's Chopstix

See bottom for locations and maps

MY REVIEW: The egg drop soup was horribly salty, so much so that I gave up after the first spoonful. The house lomein, which was the special, had seriously stringy beef and poor quality chicken and hard shrimp. I must disagree with the previous posters. I am not likely to return.

MY REVIEW: I was really impressed with the taste and freshness of the food. I was hesitant since this restaurant is inside fiesta! We got alot of food for the money and we will definitely visit again....we could take or leave the eggrolls.

MY REVIEW: The Memorial location closed abruptly in September 2007, with no notice. I loved their Chef Special Fried Rice. Will miss this convenient location.

MY REVIEW: It's inside the Fiesta Store and is sometimes crowded at lunch time, but if you go around 11 a.m. it's not so bad. This is one place you can still get large portions of good take-out Chinese for around $5. They have a wide variety and you can also split two entrees with 1/2 order of each. They have tables so you can eat there, or get it to go.

MY REVIEW: The food has be great for the last 20 years. On June 18, 2005 the Campbell location is officially closed due to Katy freeway expansion. We will miss you and all the friendly staff especially Ms. Sharon. Thank you and good luck to you all. I guess I will have to go to the Montrose location since I like that 2nd best after the Campbell location.

MY REVIEW: I'm a grad student at UST and since this place is so close I've been there many times! I always seem to order the Kung Pao Chicken..I love their Hot and Sour soup and the portions are pretty generous in my opinion! This place looks like its been here a while..some of the inside looks a bit run down but the staff seems friendly and the food is decent..

MY REVIEW: I love this place, seriously. It serves the best tofu that I have ever tried, especially the honey roasted spicy tofu. The waitress that takes your order knows what I always get and is very sweet. Fast service. The only bad thing about this place is that for $7, the portions are tiny.

MY REVIEW: Dude, this place has been great everytime. I like the steamed veggie dumplings if I'm not going for the signature General Joe's Chicken manager's special. The food is consistenly great. Even the sweet 'n sour chicken and pig are never greasy. Even though most of the people cooking are Hispanic, they really capture the spirit of the orient with such dishes as hamburger with fries, and my favorite, pepperoni pizza with a side of macaroni and cheese. Plus, I really think the atmosphere is nice. Muzac is where it's at!

MY REVIEW: Just moved to this location from previously living outside the Loop, and it is good to see it is no loss from other outlets of this chain. The menu is extensive for a small place, never greasy, and there are economical specials available. Vegetarians will find plenty on the menu. More interesting dishes than most chinese takeouts, and economical as well. I tried the special cabbage beef with fried rice and egg roll plus a refillable beverage for under $ 7.50! Yes the atmosphere is a bit plain but you are here for the food, not the scene.

MY REVIEW: This has got to be one of the best deals downtown. The atmosphere could use a little touching up, but the food is great, fast, and PLENTIFUL. For little you can almost get 2 meals out of the large portions they give you.

MY REVIEW: Extremely decent, inexpensive, fresh-tasting Chinese food. One of the few Chinese restaurants in Houston that offers chow fun noodles--pan-seared flat rice noodles in a savory brown sauce with meat, bean sprouts and green onions--look for them on the menu under Tao Phun or Chao Phun noodles. If they offered roast pork dishes (like they used to, 10 or so years ago), I'd eat here every week.

MY REVIEW: Among the better takeout chinese, I find the variety and value compelling. Service is prompt and the dining area is clean. You can see the flaming wok in the kitchen behind the register. I miss the space on Westheimer and Greenridge.

MY REVIEW: I usually order the triple delight from the Chopstix on Kirby inside Fiesta. It has always been a favorite of mine. I, well, my husband usually travels about 10 miles to get me some because I always get a craving for it. You must try the TRIPLE DELIGHT. It's reeeaaalllly good.
