Yùnhóng Chopsticks Shop

This classic Chinatown shop is a mainstay on lists of “shops that only sell one thing,” and while you might assume it to be a place for novelty, it’s actually quite a serious little specialty shop for very elegant chopsticks. Gift boxes line the walls, filled with pairs made of beautiful wood, some with elaborate inlays. Large sets can cost a pretty penny, but you’ll also find simple, inexpensive everyday chopsticks and a selection of novelty chopstick rests.
