For a Chinese, Panda Express defines the floor of Chinese food, yet this store is at least three levels below Panda Express. Rice is cold and hard, entrees are salty, all same-flavored like using the same sauce, and hard to chew. Almost had a stomach after eating a portion of the food.

The oposite of fresh. They don't even know how to make white rice properly. They make Angry Expression Panda look like Haute Cuisuine. Vegetables were OK, the only decent thing on the plate. The people are very nice but you are there for fast food first, smiles second. If you like slop wirh an Asian flare, this place is for you. Alternatively just defrost an Asian frozen meal without microwaving, let it sit, warm it up, you get the idea.

I agree with most ratings. But what did you expect from a Panda Express knock off? It’s definitely not fresh gourmet food. The food was a bit too sweet for me and do consider me a sweet tooth.

Service was standard & really no complaints. Food was terrible, bourbon chicken was probably the worst I've ever had traveling worldwide. 😫

It's basically similar to panda express, but the foods you would get at an all you can eat buffet so the quality is not as high, the meat is very gristle.

This is a terrible representation of the REAL California pick up stix. Disappointed is an understatement.
The tagline for Pick Up Stix is “Fresh Asian Flavor,” but “fresh” is just about the last word I’d use to describe the food here.
The fried rice was watery and overly peppered. The vegetables were limp, overcooked, and drowning in sauce. The beef was chewy and lacked flavor, and the orange chicken was more sugar-coated than a Pop-Tart—way too sweet with no balance.
The one positive? The staff. They were friendly and courteous, which is always appreciated.
Still, if you’re passing through Terminal C, I’d recommend looking for other dining options. This one’s a miss.

The entree dishes are so salty!! Less entree choices than Panda Express. Entree portion is at least 30% less than Panda Express. The only thing is higher than Panda Express, the price!! No more business from me.

Fine Celiac options. I was at the Houston (IAH) Terminal C location mid-morning on a Monday. Only two people running the whole show around 9:00 AM and both were very pleasant. The fellow knew all the ingredients (white rice, which is often contaminated) and veggies (just salt and garlic). Everything was fine and exactly what I needed after a 5:00 AM flight. Thank you for the transparent ingredients and thanks to the two folks who super busy and still really pleasant. All good! For reference, I eat super clean gluten free but will react if exposed and had no issues after a double serving of rice and veggies. Pricing was expected for an airport and not horrible.
