 Light and slick, but durable. Jul 30, 2009
By Tara Shuler

These chopsticks are a bit difficult to use, even for someone who has been using chopsticks a few times per month for many years. They are laminated, and make it difficult to grasp slippery foods like the udon in soup.
I also find these a bit too light for my taste. I prefer a heavier chopstick, because they feel more comfortable in my hand. Some people prefer the lightweight types, but I don't.
They do work fine for foods that aren't very slippery. I have no problem using them to eat fried rice, sesame chicken, or even mongolian beef. They're also durable, and they have stood up to many washings in the dishwasher with no cracks or warping.
Since I eat a lot of udon noodle soup, these chopsticks aren't as useful as I had hoped. If I only used them for this, I would rate these two stars. But because they work okay for other foods and are durable, I will give them four stars. Their durability is really their saving grace for me.

Can't go wrong! Oct 29, 2010
By J. W. Theis

I will preface this review by stating up front that I am not a "connoisseur" of chopsticks.
That said, I think these things are fantastic. They look nice, are easy to grip (they are rather large - not dainty at all), are a breeze to clean, and are highly functional. I paid less than $8 for five pair, so my whole family can enjoy (or be frustrated by) using them casually as they please. My children, 6 and 3, like to try them out when they see my wife or I using them, so we have slight bite marks, scratches, etc., on them already (after about a month of owning them) and it does not bother us one bit because they are both durable and inexpensive.
If you are a casual user of chopsticks and aren't sure what to get (or don't want to invest a lot in experimenting), I highly recommend these.

 best chopsticks Oct 05, 2010
By anita park
This is much better and looks like healthier than my previous ones. The old one was decorated with fancy drawings but it didn't last long. This bamboo ones seemed like stronger and being natural bamboo actually more useful for various purpose.

Beautiful and easy to use Jul 28, 2011
By Susan Laves
I have always preferred bamboo chopsticks for being what I grew up with and their versatility. It wasn't until later years that I also learned of the great anti-bacterial and renewal properties of the bamboo. This made me doubly sad when my old bamboo chopsticks that I had owned and used for most of my life were destroyed. Thus began the hunt for a new set and hunt I did. I finally settled on these and I have not been disappointed. My old chopsticks were just long and plain (still wonderful). These are just as functional, but are also very attractive. Not too short, and not too thin (although the ends are thinner than my old set which were even from top to bottom). The ends are still thick enough to provide some grip and traction unlike others (especially those plastic chopsticks with the pointed tips). Some may prefer pointed tips, buy I do not. The color is very nice. They are not slippery varnished. They have a nice heft and feel in the hand. I am very pleased.

Wood composite with plastic(?) coating. Makes it feel like those cheap slippery black plastic chopsticks with the ugly japanese-ish designs. The coating also left a few small bumps on some of the sticks- insufficient quality control. If this is the same stuff that they use on the other chopsticks i've used then it will indefinitely dissolve and be ingested. Whether or not that has any serious health effects I dont know
I dont like the twist design because it distorts balance (this part did not affect my rating however). Wish I could find on amazon the kind made of high quality wood without coating and 'creative' designs.
Theyre certainly work better than the disposable crap but theres nothing about this product that makes it spectacular. A common product that you could buy for 1 dollar in china.
