CHOPSTIX EXPRESS – Chinese
A low storefront on US Highway 19 south of Crystal River, working the whole Chinese-American songbook out of one busy wok. Chopstix Express puts the chef's recommendations first: house garlic shrimp, orange beef, triple delight, shrimp and scallop Szechuan style, happy family in a brown sauce. Behind them sit the reliables, General Tso's chicken, moo shu pork with pancakes, Singapore rice noodle, kung pao bean curd and Szechuan eggplant. A whole Peking duck is yours with a day's notice. Weight-watcher plates, family dinners and a children's platter cover everyone else. A pu pu tray starts things. Big portions, modest prices.
