Chopstix Vietnamese Restuarant

We parked in the back and did take out. The Vietnamese Sandwiches were excellent and a great price!! I wish they would consider opening a Chopstix in Santa Cruz!!

Young lady at the counter is rude and talked to me in a very condescending tone. To make things worst she served me my fried banana with no ice cream, when asked about the ice cream she had the nerve to ask “I can add it if you want it”. Why would I have to ask if that’s how the dessert is described in your menu. Won’t be back?

Dropped in to get some boba to go. While I was there, I had a chance to look at the food offerings on the table. I question the authenticity of their cuisine. Fried chicken is neither a Vietnamese dish nor is cucumber soup. Then there’s the unusual use of broccoli in their offerings. I guess the clientele is different than that in the Silicon Valley so tastes have to suite the main customer base.

The service seemed chaotic and very seat of your pants. The staff was busy running back and forth, between tables and the cash register. It took several minutes before they finally realized I was standing there. This was just 5 pm when I had dropped in. The place was maybe a third full. The restaurant seems family-run, as a young kid was behind the counter. So, if you’re looking to save a few bucks in the touristy Monterey Peninsula, then this is the place to go.

If you use a credit card, the charges are passed onto you. The prices they list include the credit card charges. If you pay with cash, you get a 3.45% discount, per the signage at the cash register.

Parking: The parking lot is shared with 4 other businesses. It gets quite jammed at the front of the business. There is a lot more parking to the north and east, nearest the gas station and behind the building, respectively. I would be careful about leaving valuables out in plain sight while parked. The neighborhood looks a bit sketchy. It’s far from ritzy, like you would have at Pebble Beach or Carmel-by-Sea.

Was very disappointed with the quality of food. The service was not good. The male server gave our food to another customer to where we had to wait longer. The establishment was not very clean either. We will not be going back at all.

My partner and I made a stop in Seaside and this was near our hotel. We were craving soup after a chilly day outside.. As pho enthusiasts, this restaurant exceeded our expectations! Very affordable and portion was big! Great service as well. :)

The food was great, but you feel really out of place when dining in. Service was a bit slow and it was kinda hard to figure out what exactly we were supposed to do when walking in, go to the cashier and order or wait?

Parking: The parking spots are a bit awkward to turn into, not the usual orientation as others.

Recommended dishes: Chicken Wings

Had a pho, five spice chicken over dry noodle, fresh spring rolls, and mandarin fried chicken wings. Unfortunately there were no standouts in flavor. Seasoning/spice level was low. Noodle portions were good but noodles are cheap. Service was slow. I think they were understaffed as there were not a lot of folks seated. Sounded like they had a bunch of to-go orders.

They never have ingredients. Some days they have dairy free for the bobas and other days they don’t. They should work on inventory because this happens a lot. Not consistent with ingredients at all
