Had a surprisingly great experience grabbing food at Pick Up Stix inside LAX. For an airport restaurant, this spot definitely stands out. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quick — perfect if you’re trying to eat something real before a flight instead of settling for a random snack.
They had a solid selection of Asian-inspired dishes — everything from orange chicken to noodles and veggies that actually tasted freshly made. You can tell they care about quality even though it’s in a high-traffic airport environment.
What really caught my attention was their drink selection. They have a good lineup of beers, and the prices were honestly impressive for an airport. $8 for a cold beer at LAX? That’s a win. Most other places charge nearly double, so it felt fair and made the meal even better.
Overall, Pick Up Stix at LAX is a great spot to relax, have a quality meal, and enjoy a beer before your flight. Friendly staff, good food, and fair prices — can’t ask for much more at an airport restaurant. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re flying through LAX.
had an excellent experience dining at Pick Up Stix inside LAX Airport. For an airport restaurant, this location truly exceeded expectations in both quality and value. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly — a perfect combination for travelers looking for something satisfying before or between flights.
Pick Up Stix offers a wide range of Asian-inspired dishes, including fan favorites like orange chicken, teriyaki bowls, fried rice, and noodles. The ingredients tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not overly salty or greasy like you sometimes find at airport spots. The portions were generous, and the presentation was great, especially considering how busy the terminal can get.
One of the standout features of this location is the beer selection. They offer several options on tap and in bottles, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable — only $8 per beer, which is a great deal compared to most airport bars and restaurants. It’s rare to find such a fair price for alcohol at LAX, and it really added to the overall positive experience.
The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive despite the constant flow of travelers. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, with plenty of seating and quick service that still felt personal. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy a freshly prepared meal, and have a cold beer before boarding.
Overall, I highly recommend Pick Up Stix at LAX to anyone looking for quality food, great service, and fair prices while traveling. Whether you’re in a rush or have time to unwind, this place delivers excellent value and a great taste of comfort right in the middle of the airport. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I fly through Los Angeles.
I was real hungry the food but the spot would definitely recommend.

The food looks nice at first glance, but don’t let it fool you. It tasted like nothing and was just a whole bunch of oil. Disappointing overall.

It's fast food Chinese food at the airport, you can't have high expectations. All food at all airports is expensive. But the food was hot, and the vegetables were fresh. And the guy serving me, LeDarrin (sp?) was funny and great, made me smile -- give him a raise or give him a promotion!

The food it self is giving average food court vibes. Nothing too special but if you're at the airport and grab this, it'll do. The menu says they have shrimp but that's incorrect.
The service is great though, very friendly staff willing to answer all questions and help you get most bang for your buck.

Can I give zero stars? lol absolutely horrible food probably the worst I’ve had. And not to mention the customer service, had a young daughter with me who still can not have honey and when I asked if some of the dishes had honey the worker was so extremely rude. I had 3 people behind me on a fast food that all you do is pour the food in a container we never even held up the line when asking so can even use the “being busy” as an excuse. Stay away from this place! Not to mention the extremely overpriced meals.
My young daughter really enjoyed her food, I didn’t think it was amazing, but it’s slightly better than some of the other options. It’s crazy how expensive airport food is, and you’re guaranteed low quality.

I find it unprofessional to play music that plays music that isn’t family friendly. This isn’t a pickup game or a house party, it’s an airport restaurant.
