About once a month we do take out for Chinese. Our go-to place used to be Flaming Wok – great food, good prices and super quick turn-around, but The Wok is no more. Some brilliant real estate agent decided he could sell that entire strip of property on 29 north as a site for a hotel, so they didn’t renew the lease for the established Chinese restaurant, That was about five years ago, and the property sits empty, and likely will for the foreseeable future. But back to Chinese take-out.
Our new favorite place is Chopsticks Express, a small take-out only restaurant in the Woodbrook Shopping Center. We like it for several reasons. First, it’s close. We live in Woodbrook. Second, the prices are very good and two of the Specialty Dishes they offer are outstanding.
They would be the Fried Whole Chicken Wings (4) and Fried Jumbo Shrimp (6). They are so good, we order then as an entree, and maybe get an order of Beef and Chinese Veggies to compliment.
Chop Stix has the best Chinese Fried Whole Chicken Wings in town. They are always served piping hot, nice and crispy and well cooked. Their Fried Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp is also delicious, fried perfectly in a light breading.
Chopsticks Express is located at 41 Seminole Trail in Charlottesville in the Woodbrook Shopping Center next to 7-11
