How to Add Ordering Guidance to a Chinese Menu
Ordering guidance helps diners choose better and usually helps the restaurant sell a more balanced meal.
Guide
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| First order | Good first order for two: dumplings, one protein, one vegetable, rice. |
| Group order | For four: one cold dish, two proteins, one vegetable, one starch. |
| Spice note | Ma-la dishes are numbing-spicy and cannot always be made mild. |
| Format note | Hot pot: choose broth first, then ingredients, then sauce. |
| House specialty note | Best for sharing or requires 20 minutes. |
