Why it works

  • Dim sum · Kitchen · Noodles & rice: a long menu split by how it's cooked.
  • The list layout with small photos keeps dozens of dishes easy to scan.
  • The Weekend dim sum brunch (unlimited dim sum and jasmine tea) is the headline special.

Themes aren't tied to a cuisine

Copper Kettle Brewing runs on the BBQ Smokehouse theme. Morning Ritual Café uses the fine-dining Ivory theme. Hickory Hollow smokes brisket on Modern. Pick the look that fits your concept, then make it yours with an accent color.

Best practices

Menu design tips for asian restaurants

  1. 01

    Split long menus by cooking style

    Dim sum, kitchen, noodles; nigiri, rolls, warm; tandoor, curries, breads. The sticky section bar makes jumping easy.

  2. 02

    Say it once with section notes

    “Served with basmati rice” under Curries beats repeating it in every description.

  3. 03

    Label spice and diet clearly

    Spicy, Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten free help guests order confidently, especially from long menus.

  4. 04

    Explain dishes in plain words

    “Silken tofu, Sichuan pepper, chili bean” tells a first-timer exactly what mapo tofu is.

  5. 05

    Include pieces and portions

    Pieces per order, and 14 pieces in the omakase. Portion details set expectations and justify prices.

  6. 06

    Make set menus the easy choice

    Thali, omakase, dim sum brunch: one price, no decisions, and a great first visit.
