Chinese food characters


A table full of great Chinese food at a local Lanzhou restaurant.If you’ve ever been in a real Chinese restaurant before (by that I mean one that’s actually in China), I’m sure you know that awkward feeling of not being able to understand anything on the menu. While plenty of restaurants in China fix their menus up with pictures and others translate the names of dishes into English (with often hilarious Chinglish results), most typical local joints have nothing but Chinese characters on the menu.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there into a Chinese restaurant and put your language skills to use by reading the menu and ordering in Chinese!
