Chopsticks House

Chopsticks House has served Thai food on Old Cutler Road in Cutler Bay for well over three decades, according to the tenure listed in local business directories, giving it a history that stretches back to the late 1980s, more than fifteen years before Cutler Bay incorporated as its own town. Despite the generic sounding name, which might suggest a general Asian or Chinese restaurant, local directories specifically classify Chopsticks House as a Thai restaurant, and a customer review captured through business listings specifically recommends the Gang Dang, a reference to the restaurant’s red curry, along with praise for the overall quality of service and food.

A Florida corporate registration under the name Chopsticks Restaurant Inc appears active in the state’s business registry, a reasonably close match to the Chopsticks House storefront name, supporting the restaurant’s standing as a legitimately operating business rather than a stale directory entry, though as with some other long-running family restaurants in the area, the exact formal corporate name differs slightly from the name used on signage and in casual references. Directories note that the restaurant serves alcohol alongside its food menu, consistent with a sit-down Thai restaurant offering wine or beer service to accompany dinner.

The restaurant sits on Old Cutler Road in the 20500 block, part of the same general commercial corridor as several other independent restaurants within Cutler Bay, an area confirmed through Census Bureau geographic data to fall solidly within the incorporated Town of Cutler Bay. Old Cutler Road has functioned as a commercial spine for this part of southern Miami-Dade County for decades, and Chopsticks House’s more than thirty-year run on the same road places it among the longest continuously operating restaurants in what is now Cutler Bay, alongside a small handful of other multi-decade establishments in the immediate area.

For residents seeking Thai food specifically, as opposed to the more common Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Caribbean options that dominate much of Cutler Bay’s independent restaurant scene, Chopsticks House offers one of the few dedicated options in town. Its long operating history and active corporate registration together support a picture of a stable, family-run restaurant that has maintained a consistent presence on Old Cutler Road through the area’s transition from unincorporated county land to a fully self-governing town. That kind of staying power, spanning the years before and after Cutler Bay’s own incorporation, also means the restaurant has likely served multiple generations of the same local families along this stretch of road.
