Chopsticks

(Christine Dong)

3390 NE Sandy Blvd., 503-234-6171, chopstickskaraoke.com.

Although bemused servers might bring out a plate of oily noodles every so often, it's best to assume Chopsticks' name refers to the simple piano tune, as Chopsticks has always been about the music. Even after moving from its former East Burnside location, this beloved karaoke bar still hosts enthusiastic crowds, and hasn't lost any of its Old Portland charm.
