Pick Up Stix
Finding it
Pick Up Stix is in Departures in Terminal 2 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal 2 has 9 places to eat and 6 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Its 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. window rules out early departures and red-eyes alike, so this is a midday stop rather than a first-flight one. Set among the departures-side cluster in Terminal 2 alongside Barney's Beanery, BUILT Custom Burgers and Fresh Brothers Pizza, it's the one serving Chinese standards like egg rolls and rice plates instead of pub food or pizza. There's no other Pick Up Stix at LAX, so a traveler connecting through a different terminal won't find this menu repeated. Time a stop here for a layover that falls squarely inside the afternoon, not around a dawn or late-night flight.
