I've never had chopsticks arrive with Chinese home delivery here (I'm in
the outer Western suburbs of Sydney) but I don't get it very often and
usually just from the same place - others may be different.

The only place where I've been given chopsticks (without asking) when
buying takeaway is at Stir Crazy. This is a stirfry noodle chain where you
pick the type of noodles you want (or rice), the sauce you want and the
meat/seafood you want and they put them together with vegies.

I'm not very good with chopsticks so I don't use them too often. I do have
some here though.

The only place I've bought from here that uses the cardboard containers is
the abovementioned Stir Crazy. All the other Chinese I've had has come in
the plastic containers.
