Never seen it before. Sounds slippery and not very good for eating. Plus
cold. I'd say a gimmick.

No, this is actually very common in Korea. In fact, I
can remember getting stainless steel chopsticks WAY
more often than wood or plastic when eating in Seoul.
I'd say you've just found a Korean restaurant that is doing
things the way they do "back home."
