Chinese menu design tips
- Group dishes by cooking method or course so guests can plan a balanced table quickly.
- Show a spice icon beside Sichuan and chili dishes so guests can avoid surprises.
- Offer family-style portion sizes or small, medium, and large options for shared dishes.
- List dim sum with a count per basket so guests can estimate how many to order.
- Add a short line on which dishes are good for sharing to help larger parties choose.
Pricing a chinese menu
Chinese restaurants often price dim sum by the basket or per piece, and entrees by protein so guests can compare value. Family-style platters are priced for a whole table, so they feel like a better value per guest than individual entrees.
