What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chopstix offers a vibrant atmosphere and flavorful Asian cuisine with generous portions, making it a popular choice for families and travelers. While many praise the friendly service and unique decor, some reviews mention inconsistencies in spice levels and, in rare instances, concerns about hygiene and menu pricing accuracy. Overall, it's a well-loved spot for a casual and satisfying meal.
"Really good food. Thai girl approves. Tom Yum fragrant and tasty. Pad Thai seafood really nice fried noodles (kind of tastes like Malaysian Char Kway Taeo with only mild tamarind compared to Tbai but good for Aussie tastes and I loved it - I don't normally find Pad Thai flavourful but loved this one). I'd just suggest putting the chilli flakes in a side bowl (spice level was perfect for me but I noticed others left bad reviews). And stylish fun restaurant. Price was fun for tourist route - as expected."

"A relatively good experience. The food was pretty nice, good portion sizes and a reasonable price. The service was hit and miss (the server seemed to struggle with our accent or English, and got a few parts of our order wrong) but friendly overall. Fairly kid friendly too."

"Disappointing Experience at Chopstix, Apollo Bay
We were torn between The Vault and Chopstix, but unfortunately, we chose the latter—and regretted it. The food is way overpriced for the quality. I ordered the Tom Yum noodles, which were nothing like the authentic dish. Instead of the usual spicy and sour flavor, it was overly sweet. The flower crabs and prawns didn’t taste fresh at all, which was a big letdown. My child had the Teriyaki noodles, and those were too sweet as well. It honestly felt like the place doesn’t do Asian food any justice.
To make matters worse, I witnessed something that completely ruined my experience: the waitress stuck her thumb (while wearing a blue glove) into my Tom Yum soup while serving it. Not only is that unhygienic, but it also made me feel uncomfortable and concerned about the cleanliness of the restaurant overall.
Even though the place may appear crowded at times, I strongly recommend avoiding it—especially for tourists looking for a good meal in Apollo Bay."
