From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Chopstix is another gem found in The Marco Polo – an oft-forgotten culinary treat of a hotel in the heart of Deira. In keeping with the exploits of the explorer that the hotel is named after, its restaurants cross a number of continents (The Bombay is a very good Indian restaurant).

Chopstix, while not being too fancy, doesn’t disappoint. They’re not too worried about the complexities of international borders, though.

Despite being a Chinese restaurant, the first thing you’ll be served on being seated is a bowl of kimchi, the Korean national dish. But it’s fresh, satisfyingly crunchy and wonderfully sharp.

Follow this with the seafood wonton soup, which is aromatic, perky and full of bite, while the superb Shanghai prawns come stir-fried with celery, spring onion, garlic and chilli.

The golden prawns, meanwhile, are the size of chicken drumsticks and arrive crisply battered – ideal for plunging into a selection of dips.

Flavoursome burned-garlic fried rice and vegetable-entwined Singapore rice noodles are ideal side orders, perfect for soaking up a nicely velvety kung pao chicken. An excellent Chinese restaurant.

It was a great experience! The food, decor, ambience and staff was fantastic and helped make this a memorable evening. Definitely on our list to visit again!

Excellent restaurant in our hotel
Great start
Soup and starters superb
Main courses a bit bland- perhaps wrong choices
Service very good but cleared things away too quickly - where did my beer go?
Decor really cool - like the huge chop sticks and the stream running through the centrepiece table to the pool is inspired
Music just right

KEEP IT UP!!!
It is always a great pleasure to visit CHOPSTIX whenever we are in Dubai.
The ambience has not changed a bit in the last more than five years, which should be a pleasing experience if done.
Thanks

Slow service. Nothing about the food is chinese though it is chinese food that is served. The Manchow soup is good dont even bother trying the others. The Iceberg lettuce roll is also good. As for the main course all the dishes starting with Singapore, Hong Kong etc should have been left there honestly... Definately not recommended for a family get together

The place has good Chinese food. The ambience/decor is not very stylish but the service staff is good.

The food tastes good and is reasonably priced (value for money). Good for a family dinner or a quiet outing without much hassle.
