Chopstick etiquette varies from country to country, but there are some general rules that apply to most East Asian destinations. You may find that locals don’t follow all of these rules all of the time, but it doesn’t hurt to know them.
-Do not stick your chopsticks upright in your bowl of rice. This is the way a bowl of rice is offered to the spirit of someone deceased. You should not cross your chopsticks on the table or on top of food for the same reason.
–Do not use one or both of your chopsticks to spear your food. I know some food is hard to pick up (and spearing food is kind of fun), but it’s considered impolite.
-Do not pass food from chopstick to chopstick.
-Do not use unmatched chopsticks.
–Do not rub wooden chopsticks together. A lot of people do this with to get rid of the splinters, but if you do it with good quality ones, it’s seen as an insult. It indicates that you think they aren’t very good quality.
-Do not take food off of a communal plate with your chopsticks. You should always use the serving utensil that are provided. If the dish didn’t come with a serving utensil, it’s best to turn your chopsticks around and use the other ends. This one applies to more formal meals.
-Do not hover over dishes with your chopsticks while you decide what to eat.
-Do not point at people or things with your chopsticks.
–Do not rest your chopsticks on your bowl or other food. The only time you should rest your chopsticks across the top of your dish is if you are finished eating. Otherwise, always use chopsticks rests if they have been provided. If not, you can make your own out of the paper wrapper that you chopsticks came in.
Depending on the country you’re in, there will be specific etiquette when it comes to eating with chopsticks. Here are a few examples:
