Bi-Material Build with User-Friendly Design

  • Made from 18-12 stainless steel (SUS316) and SPS food-grade resin, Ladata Bao-quai chopsticks combine structural strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability for long-term use. Their square-shaped tips and flat surfaces provide a non-slip grip—ideal for handling noodles, sushi, tofu, and more—making them especially suitable for beginners.
The image displays six stainless steel chopstick rests with intricate geometric patterns, arranged on a dark background. Two of the rests are paired with sleek chopsticks, one with a metallic finish and the other with a black handle, creating a modern and elegant presentation.
  • All our chopsticks and cutlery are dishwasher safe, allowing you to enjoy convenience without compromising longevity. The combination of steel and resin is heat-resistant and unaffected by detergents or high-temperature cycles. Unlike wooden chopsticks that can splinter or warp, Ladata cutlery retains its form and finish after repeated washes. The bi‑material structure and internal strengthening design ensure bending resistance and maintain shape over time.

Perfect for beginners, kids and seasoned diners seeking a fuss‑free experience, every bite becomes a pleasure.

Enhanced Grip and Stability

Ladata's BaoQuai square chopsticks feature a patented square-tip design for a non-slip grip, perfect for slippery foods like noodles, sushi, or tofu. The flat surfaces securely hold food, making them beginner-friendly, especially for kids and seniors. The square shape also prevents rolling on tables, improving hygiene and stability.

Safe and Sustainable Materials

Crafted from food-safe stainless steel, tested by third-party labs to be free of harmful substances, and lightweight SPS resin, our chopsticks resist steam, acids, alkalis, scratches, and oil absorption. Reusable and recyclable, they last up to five years, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.

Ladata, the first chopsticks brand in Taiwan to earn a Carbon Footprint Label, ensures transparency in greenhouse gas emissions across the product lifecycle. We aim for carbon neutrality through eco-friendly materials and reduced emissions, empowering sustainable consumer choices.

Durable and Dishwasher-Safe & Trusted Safety

The BaoQuai chopsticks feature a steel-resin blend and reinforced design, enduring high-temperature dishwasher cycles without warping or splintering, unlike wooden alternatives, while independent lab tests confirm the stainless steel is free from harmful heavy metals, meeting strict food-contact standards for safe, reliable use.
