Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors in Carlsbad's Poinsettia corridor operates from 7150 Avenida Encinas in the same Ralphs-anchored retail center near Poinsettia Park, the 9,900-search-per-month recreation anchor for the surrounding neighborhood. The Southern California fast-casual chain woks each dish to order on an open-flame line, a cook-to-order model that separates it from the taproom concept at Pure Project Carlsbad on the same Avenida Encinas strip. Signature dishes include House Special Chicken, Thai Coconut Curry, and Crispy Honey Shrimp, alongside an Asia Fit sub-menu that caps every item at 400 calories per serving with options including Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon. A catering division builds family-style trays and boxed meals for the corporate office parks lining Palomar Airport Road, competing for the same North County event business as the taqueria platters at El Pueblo Mexican Food. The cream cheese wontons are hand-folded around a filling piped from a pastry bag, then fried at 375 degrees until the wheat wrapper blisters into a glass-crisp shell around the molten center.
