The 10 Best Chopsticks of 2019

A great gift or statement pieces to impress your dinner guests

Best Overall: Goldage Fiberglass Dishwasher-safe Chopsticks

Made from food-safe fiberglass, these chopsticks are dishwasher safe and can handle heat up to 356 degrees, so you can even use them to retrieve food from hot oil. They won’t bend, melt, or splinter, and they’ll last longer than wooden implements. The black color and silver decorative writing also gives them a sleek, chic look.

These chopsticks have round tips for ease of use and a square body so they won’t roll when you set them down. Though they are dishwasher safe, make sure they are securely placed in your utensil basket to prevent them from getting damaged by your dishwasher nozzles. The chopsticks come in a set of five pairs.

Best Bamboo: Totally Bamboo Twist Reusable Bamboo Chopsticks

Bamboo is both lightweight and strong, making it the perfect material for chopsticks. These chopsticks have a gently twisted body that's designed to look cool and give users a better grip. While bamboo is durable, these chopsticks should not be placed in the dishwasher or left to soak in the liquid. Instead, give them a quick clean with soap and a sponge and let them air dry.

Best Wooden: HuaLan Japanese Natural Wood Classic Style Chopstick Set

This set of chopsticks includes five pairs, each made a different type of wood: rosewood, ebony, boxwood, chestnut, and cherry. Each pair has a distinctive color, making them great for family use or fun at a dinner party. The bodies of these chopsticks have gentle bumps and grooves that users say make them easier to hold than smooth chopsticks. They have a natural, food-safe lacquer coating that prevents the wood from staining, and they come in a storage box that would look beautiful as a gift, as well.

Best Design: Stainless Steel Chopsticks Set

With this set of chopsticks, you’ll never need to worry about warping, splintering, or staining. While wooden chopsticks might be more familiar, metal chopsticks are popular in Korea, where steel chopsticks have given way to stainless steel, which is easier to keep clean.

These chopsticks are designed to be perfectly balanced in use, making them comfortable to hold while you're eating. They’re also very easy to clean, but it is recommended that you hand wash them. This set comes with five pairs of chopsticks, so you’ll have plenty for family dinners.

Best for Beginners: Senior ICare Adult Chopstick Helpers Training Chopsticks

This pair of chopsticks comes with a hinged helping device that keeps the chopsticks together for easy use, without looking as whimsical as children’s cartoon-like training chopsticks. You can slide the helper up or down to adjust the length of the chopsticks for the most comfortable position for you. This helper is great for people who are just learning how to eat with chopsticks, or for folks with arthritis or poor dexterity.

The chopsticks remove easily from the helper, so you can use your favorite chopsticks at home or even tuck the helper into your pocket so you can use them at a restaurant with the chopsticks you’re given. The helper is dishwasher safe, but the included chopsticks are not.

Best for Ramen: Japanese Dinnerware Ceramic Ramen Udon Noodle Bowl Set

If ramen or other noodles are on the menu, why not eat in style with this pretty set of ramen bowls and chopsticks? The bowls have a notch in the rim and a hole on the side of the bowl to neatly hold the chopsticks. Not only is this much neater than setting your chopsticks on the table, but you can also avoid the bad luck associated with stabbing the chopsticks into your noodles or rice.

The bowls are made from sturdy ceramic and come in several different patterns, and the chopsticks are made from bamboo with a black finish. This set includes two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.

Best for Travel: Fire-maple Camping Backpacking Red Sandalwood Portable Chopsticks

Great for camping or travel, these chopsticks come apart for compact storage, so you can tuck them in with other small items or store them in the included pouch. The chopsticks are made from rosewood with a brass screw connection that stays secure when you're eating and unscrews easily when it’s time to pack up. The pouch has a snap closure and a carabiner clip to hang it from a belt or backpack.

Best for Kids: Petty Edison Training Chopsticks for Children

The colorful character on top of these chopsticks makes them fun for kids to use and acts as a hinge to hold the sticks together. Rings on the sticks help keep little fingers in a good position for eating and help train kids how to hold chopsticks so they’ll be ready to graduate to the real deal in no time.

The rings are made from soft silicone, and the chopsticks are plastic, so they’re dishwasher safe for easy cleaning when dinner is done. Parents say that their kids were able to use these proficiently on the first try. Because of the location of the loops, these are for right-handed use only.

Best Disposable: Royal Premium Disposable Bamboo Chopsticks

Whether you’re taking them to a picnic, you need a whole lot of chopsticks for a large party, or you’ve got a craft project in mind, this set of 100 pairs of chopsticks is a very affordable option. Each pair comes in a separate sleeve that includes simple instructions on the back describing how to use chopsticks, so it's a great reminder for folks who don’t use them often.

The chopsticks are separated, rather than joined at the top, so there’s no need to break them apart and risk splinters. They’re made from bamboo, which makes them sturdy to use and biodegradable when you're finished with them.
