Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors

2 yrs ago at the LAX airport we stumbled on Pick Up Stix and the food was OUTSTANDING! This time visiting Carlsbad from GA, we found there was 1 in town and was SUPER EXCITED. Unfortunately, the 2 experiences were sadly very different. We ordered the same as in LAX yet received 90% Carrots versus chicken; After removing ALL the carrots, the box was pretty much EMPTY! We were highly disappointed 😢😡

Very poor customer service. I've been here twice now and each time was a poor experience. This last time I wanted to order a to go order. There were two cashiers doing nothing. And one greeted me with we close in 5 minutes and then when it was my turn to order the next one said we close in two minutes and aren't taking orders. Wasted my time. I don't know why they didn't just take my to go order. I've worked for several restaurants and we would never turn away a customer that entered before closing and often let customers in a few minutes after closing.

Probably a 3.5 to be fair. We ordered online, and our food was ready as expected. The sweet and sour chicken was good, as was the fried rice and chow mein noodles. Disappointed in the beef and broccoli. The meat was tough. Egg rolls were also good. Portion sizes were okay. Cost nearly $30 for a takeout dinner for two. Big TV with college hoops on, and a nice but small outdoor seating area. We'd go back, but we'd pass on the beef and broccoli.

I had a curry garlic dish with shrimp and fresh steamed veggies , brown rice cooked right, pot stickers ok. Plenty of seating a step better than Panda, wish they had these restaurant in northern cal. Went here for dinner as we had our dog and couple sit outside. Food is the normal for Pick up Stix. I had the House chicken with white rice and it was good. Service was good and location close to where we were staying so that worked. I'll be back.
