Name: Chopstix
Cuisine: Japanese
Opinion: AMAZING
Area: Kearny Mesa, Clairemont Mesa
About: This is one of my family's favorite restaurants. It is definitely a hole in the wall sort of place, but it is one of my favorite Japanese places in San Diego! Also it is VERY CHEAP!
What to order: Chicken Katsudon (fried chicken pieces over egg and rice), Chicken Katsu (fried chicken with a salad, bowl of rice, and bowl of miso ramen) , Wonton Chasyu Men (a giant bowl of ramen), Yaki Soba (Noodles and vegetables) , Unagi Don (eel), Chicken Katsu Curry (fried chicken in a curry mix) , Oyakodon (chicken over egg and rice)
More info: The waitress's are very nice, and make sure before your meal you say itadakimasu, and after you say gochisosamadeshita! (That is how you show grace for your meal in Japanese, and the waitresses will be very impressed.) Parking is horrible during peak times, but if you're lucky you will get a spot in the front if not try the back even though it is a tight squeeze. Try a Calpico soda or if you can a large beer with your meal! Even though they do serve sushi, there are plenty of other places in San Diego with amazing sushi, so if you are craving it, have a california or crunchy roll for an appetizer, but definitely try the ramen or meals over rice, which are hard to find at other places. They do have soba and udon, which I am not a big fan of so try them for yourselves and comment on this on how they are. There is a second chopstix's location (Chopstix Too), I went there when the original was closed and wasn't as enthusiastic about it, but again try it out for yourself and comment below.

Fun Fact: Oyako-don is chicken over cooked egg and rice. The reason it has the name oyako-don is because don 丼 means bowl, oya 親 means parent, while ko 子 means child, so the parent represents the chicken and the child represents the egg in the bowl!
