Group ordering becomes easier when the table thinks in rounds instead of individual meals. Start with dietary needs, build contrast and leave space to add dishes once everyone understands the pace and appetite of the table.
A table for four
For four, begin with two small plates, one sushi or dim sum selection, and two larger dishes such as noodles plus a main or pizza. Add one or two desserts after checking appetite.
A table for six
For six, choose three opening plates, two sushi or dim sum dishes and three larger plates spanning vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. Two contrasting desserts usually create a satisfying finish.
A table for ten
For ten, contact the restaurant before arriving. Share dietary requirements and ask how the kitchen recommends pacing the order. A mix of starters, sushi, dim sum, comfort food and mains works better than ordering ten unrelated individual dishes at once.
