'I moved from oil to grease,' jokes Zhijian Liu, who opened the original Chopstickers with his wife, Mengjiao Li, in April 2021.
Chopstickers, a casual Chinese noodle and dumplings eatery at 1335 West Elizabeth Street in Fort Collins, was met with surprising internet fame two years ago when awent viral, garnering over two million views."We had customers from Wyoming come to our location just to eat the soup dumplings," says co-owner Zhijian Liu."A lot of people were surprised to see that there was authentic Chinese food here in Fort Collins.
Both Chinese immigrants, Liu and Li moved to Colorado around ten years ago to obtain their graduate degrees. Li went to the University of Colorado Denver for her masters' in accounting, while."I moved from oil to grease," Liu jokes. The restaurant name is a mashup of"chopsticks" and"potstickers." Liu wanted people who were craving potstickers to"have Chopstickers pop up in their mind." The menu, however, includes much more, from other types of dumplings to noodles, rice bowls and bao buns.
Despite the amount of work and diligence that Liu and Li pour into their food, they still remain committed to one key value: affordability."Because of the rising food and labor costs, Asian food has become very expensive, even more so because it requires a lot of skills to cook Asian cuisine. We want to keep our food both affordable and high-quality," Liu says.
