Yunhong Chopsticks

Didn’t need chopsticks but discovered that, hidden in some containers, they have a fine array of Asian wooden soup spoons.

Pretty chopsticks! But holy moly some of the prices are just ridiculous. You could get ones in the little plastic baggies right in front when you get in for $ 6 a pair then you look towards your left and right and they range from $ 28-​$ 200.
I’m giving this place 3 stars mainly because… when I bought 2 pairs of chopsticks that came in a pretty box, the lady kept charging me $ 78 when the box says $ 68
The price tag said $ 68 so why do you keep insisting to try and charge me an extra $ 10!!! If it was a mistake then TELL ME! Don’t just take away the price tag and pretend I didn’t see it.

Very cool place and am awesome selection! Mei (sorry not sure how to spell it) was super patient and helpful!

This shop is nothing short of perfect. Nestled in the heart of Chinatown, it’s a welcome break from the tourist souvenir shops and the endless dirty pavement. It’s a small place; there’s two walls of lovely chopsticks and an island of less expensive items.
The goods are all gorgeous and reasonably priced. I purchased a lovely black and red set featuring the cutest ceramic ducks you could imagine.
We will certainly be returning for some «training chopsticks» for the 3 year old sister. :)

Perfect shop for a gift of the Asian variety, with lots of chopstick options at premium prices. Great service.
I needed to get a gift for my boss for a secret santa, and my GF came up with the idea of getting this Japanophile some chopstick holders — lots of people have chopsticks, but who has chopstick holders? Exactly.
After visiting another store, we came here knowing they were super specialized. Looking around, we found what I was looking for, 5 chopstick rests. With the help of the employee, we picked out $ 25 worth of merchandise.
I was hoping for some gift box or some way of preparing it, and that’s where things went from good to WOW. She took a gift box from another set of chopsticks, then wrapped up each of the rests individually with tissue paper and tape, put more tissue paper in, closed the box, put the box inside of an awesome gift bag with more tissue paper. It went from a good gift to a «holy crap, that’s a nice gift» in 5 minutes. All of this for no extra money.
Anyone who buys things from Asian stores knows about the importance of good giftwrapping, and this is exactly that in spades. 5 stars for me!

This place is a gem! When I told the gal who was working that I wanted to buy a set of chopsticks for my husband as a 20^th anniversary gift (traditional gift is «china»), she showed me several great options in my price range. I chose a family set for the anniversary gift, plus a single set as a different gift — both are beautiful! Definitely worth the cab ride from midtown.

An upscale chopstick store in Chinatown on Mott Street. Bought a pair of engraved ironwood chopsticks for a friend’s engagement party. $ 36 for a set of 2 — one engraved with a turtle and the other with a crane. I thought this was an interesting and different alternative to the typical bottle of wine gift.
Also got a pair of simple mahogany chopsticks for daily use at home. They were $ 16 for 1 pair.
The lady working here carefully explains each chopstick and helped us choose what we wanted.

I had never stepped foot in here during my two+ years of regular weekly shopping trips to Chinatown for groceries and delicious Chinese food. However, when work clients requested more upscale chopsticks, this was the only place that popped in my mind having walked paste their storefront many times. To my surprise, the store had a great selection of designs, materials and their store associate was extremely helpful! Carefully explaining what each chopstick was made of and helping me to find the best matching set of chopstick holders. She was wonderful to work with and made the errand much smoother. Eventually she had to re-​package my order of 12 chopsticks/​holders into different gift boxes because I simply preferred one style to another! Would highly recommend based on service alone.

Great selection of various chopsticks. Some are very expensive. One pair of carbon fiber chopstick us $ 128. The sign says it’s the material they used for the space shuttle. I asked the sales girl went carbon fiber? Is it stronger so the chooeksticks does break? She just mechanically repeated what the sign days, «same material used for space shuttle». Other questions yield similar very mono useless answers. Hence only 3 stars.

You are reading the evaluation of one of the world’s worst shoppers – unless it involves clothing. So for a shop like this to get me to make two purchases, it has to be something really wonderful and unique.
Walked out with two superb collections of chopsticks: one for home and one as a gift. Was assisted by a really nice young lady who was delightful. If you find yourself in Chinatown with its assortment of… questionable retail products… stop in here. You’ll be glad you did.

Great little place. Got a set of really nice chopsticks here that I’m excited to use.

Incredible chopsticks that you can give as a gift or keep for yourself. Large selection of high end to basic chopsticks!

I was drawn into this shop like a moth to a flame today; I actually do carry a couple of pairs of travel chopsticks with me – you never know! (I also carry a fork and spoon with me because I hate the idea of all the plastic cutlery that gets thrown in landfills all the time.)
There’s a dazzling array of utensils and I got a fork, spoon, and chopsticks set to replace my chipped bamboo set. They had a few to choose from, and the saleswoman was very helpful. She saw me coming! This is a great place to know about, and close to the subway; I’m sure I’ll be back.

You wouldn’t necessarily think you’d need a store devoted to spoons or forks, but Yunhong Chopsticks is a sacred place to get your household chopsticks to either show off or to use on the daily.
The store is small yet functional as their displays are not only decoratively packaged, but the chopsticks themselves are really gorgeous! From plastic to bamboo, you can find pretty much anything you are truly looking for. Know someone who appreciates Chinese culture? This wouldn’t be a bad place to start out looking first.
Really clean, nicely lit, and right on a high foot traffic block; worth coming in just to browse.

Yunhong is a welcome upscale addition to Chinatown. I’m excited to see something high end and so Chinese. I have purchased a number of 8 place sets for friends as wedding presents and house warming gifts. They are perfect for your friends that literally have everything. It is expensive, but considering how much I spent on casual and formal silverware that’s made out of stainless steel, it’s actually not that big of a deal.
Obviously, this store is not for everyone. In the Big Apple, though there are plenty of people who are looking to have the best of the best in everything they do. If you have friends who are dorks about setting their table impeccably, who host dinner parties and enjoys formal Asian setting this is an amazing gift.
For the rest, it’s quite interesting to go in and see the creativity and craftmanship in what is essentially 2 sticks. Is the pricing stiff. For sure, but as another reviewer mentioned, you don’t have to go searching.

Yunhong Chopsticks is totally a tourist trap for non Asians who display their knowledge of Chinese culture for upscale luxury chopsticks as gifts. A plentiful selection of style, theme, colors and price range index from cheap to pricey to ultimate high pricey to bankrupt plagued pricey. I don’t believe this boutique, like others in Chinatown, provides gift wrapping service. This shop is clean and displays product beautifully of well organized. Customer service is somewhat aggressive to sell.
Fancy utensils, does it make a statement for apperance presentation at the dinner table to guests? Yet the bigger question is: does luxury chop sticks make a better meal for good quality food or appearance overpowers all?

Excellent store for all your chop sticks need/​want.
Here you have many options spend $ 5 or $ 200.
Totally up to the chopstick conusseir.
My cousins from Zimbabwe said they wanted chopsticks, so I took them here.

If you are ever looking for a present for someone who is into Asian culture or throwing fancy dinner parties, Yunhong has the most beautifully designed chopsticks I’ve ever seen. Tons of styles, themes, and a wide variety of prices.
This is the kind of store that I feel a little guilty about merely browsing in; I want to support them, but I don’t really have cash to drop on pretty utensils.
That’s why I’m telling you. You’re obviously better off than me. Look at you, and your fancy clothes that fit. I bet you’ve showered this week too. You’re basically rolling in it.

My sister requested I get her some chopsticks as where she lives results in taking a hefty trek to get anything remotely Asian.
To my surprise one weekend while wandering around Chinatown I happen upon this new store that proudly advertises «chopsticks» in their name.
Perfect. Well they certainly have a fine selection of chopsticks from simple pairs you can use every day to the fancier more art like pairs.
It’s not anything particularly amazing really and honestly I’ve seen some very amazing hand made /​decorated chopsticks elsewhere, but what they get right here is they’ve brought it all together in one place.
There’s no need to rack your brain trying to remember where you saw that exquisite pair that would make the perfect gift. No need to run around because thanks to Yunhong, there’s now a store that gathers everything chopsticks under one roof. The slight premium on the chopsticks themselves is partially paying for this convenience of not having to hunt.

Chopsticks are like silverware in my home, so I was hoping to find some nice, pretty chopsticks to keep in my silverware drawer. I’ve seen chopsticks at random stores here and there, but never a whole store devoted to just chopsticks. But, they say that if you can’t find something in New York, you can’t find it anywhere.
I think this is true, because one day I randomly ran into this newly opened boutique that specializes in chopsticks. The store is tiny, but the lighting, décor, and displays indicate the reverence for chopsticks that these folks have. On first glance one might think this is a jewelry store, until you see the thin eating utensils gently propped against the satin backing of the brocade boxes in the window.
The chopsticks here range in price & quality from $ 2.99 simple wooden ones to $ 185 set of gorgeous crystal ones. (If I was a famous rapper or something, this is definitely what I’m eating my take-​out with!) A great gift idea would be the wooden chopsticks with «I Love New York» laser cut on them.
Service is knowledgeable and friendly. We bought a simple set of four chopsticks but plan on coming back again to buy gifts or get ourselves something fancier.
Bottom line: A great store, with a wide selection of chopsticks for all budgets. Would definitely make a perfect gift for lovers of Asian food.
