Bettie and her team are the best! Highly recommend dim sum Tuesdays, won ton soup Thursdays and beef pho Fridays (those are all the days we tried throughout our month in Ajijic). I’m sure all the days are excellent! Home cooked, authentic and delicious Vietnamese, Chinese and Hawaiian food.
P.S. don’t forget to get the desserts! The lemon coffee cake and butter tarts are amazing! The ginger beer and Vietnamese coffee are also musts. 🙂

I had the Bahn Mi sandwich and it was very disappointing. French baguettes are available in Ajijic, but the sandwich was not on a French baguette. A traditional Bahn Mi also has jalapeño on it (I had to ask for some), along with Diakon radish (I get that they may not be available, but radishes certainly are). The sandwich was bland and cost $160 pesos ($8.77). It certainly wasn’t worth $160 pesos. I had a dessert that was like a mini pecan pie, but with Butter us in it’s name. That was delicious!

We have lived in Lake Chapala for about 2 months. We found Chopsticks early on and have become a regular. The food is fresh and flavorful and a nice selection of foods and specials each day of the week. Betty and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. If you enjoy Vietnamese food give it a try.

I ordered the rice plate with cabbage slaw, and chicken. The cabbage slaw consisted of very few shreds of carrots and cabbage. The portion of chicken was very small but tasty. For what I got I feel it was overpriced and I will not return. There are so many restaurant to choose from in Ajijic.

What type of Vietnamese restaurant doesn’t serve Pho? It is a Friday only special. The Vietnamese egg rolls came with no greens or lettuce to wrap. I asked for soy sauce and told they only had fish sauce. Two of us had Bun (cold noodles) with sliced pork. It was okay but lacking fresh crunchy veggies. Wife had a chicken noodle soup, just ok, Mexican pasta linguini noodles, no vegetable garnish was provided. Ordered 2 Vietnamese Ice coffees and a hot green tea. The coffee was not strong and not very sweet. I’m a regular lover of Pho and Vietnamese cuisine but Definitely won’t return here.

Great little stripmall Chinese restaurant
While Chopsticks may not win any awards for dining ambiance, the restaurant scores points where it matters.
The food on offer is quite tasty and the service is friendly and prompt. Prices too, are exceedingly fair.
I’ll be coming back here for lunch, regularly.
Pro-Tip: Tuesday is Dim Sum day. Check it out.

Chopsticks restaurant is a Lakeside gem, providing high quality vietnamese, chinese, and hawaiian dishes that can be hard to find outside of large cities with international populations.
Weekly specials include chicken and beef pho (noodle soup), dim sum, and wonton soup. The everyday menu includes bun (salad with vermicelli and meat), a selection of poké rice bowls, bahn mi sandwiches with salad, and rice with salad and meat.
Protein choices include chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, surimi (fish made to resemble crab), and tofu.
Everything on the menu is delicious, and is prepared in a remarkably consistent manner. Owner Betty does much of the prep work and baking herself, and the crew works like a well-maintained machine.
Both English and Spanish are spoken.
For people with room for dessert there’s homemade pie (coffeecake on Fridays) – and there’s a wide selection of ice creams, some sugar-free.
Located in the bottom level of the Plaza Bugambilias shopping center in Ajijic, in the same building as the El Toro supermarket and Scallion restaurant.

Delicious hot and fresh Vietnamese and Chinese food. I ordered take away of their Monday soup special and it was made to order and well packed. I’ve also had their dim sum before and as a dim sum connoisseur, and person of Chinese heritage, it was pretty great too!
