Decent arrangement with an appropriate background. The sharpness of the food is a little off. It looks as though the camera were focused just in front of the food but not right on it.
Good lighting, I like the round items on the square plate. The chopsticks add interesting detail. The image seems off balance, perhaps if the bammboo pattern was parallel with the frame, like a horizone line. Also to me it appears the reds could have a touch more saturation.
There is a LOT of negative space in this image. Maybe placing the chopsticks on the plate and then cropping would take care of this. This way, all that background isn't left to distract the viewer from the important subject material.
