1. What is the Chinese Food Wheel?
Chinese Food Wheel is a random dish picker built for Chinese and regional Chinese cuisine. It covers the full range — from the imperial grandeur of Peking Duck and the tongue-numbing heat of Sichuan mapo tofu, to the weekend ritual of Cantonese dim sum, hand-folded dumplings, and sweet red bean desserts.
2. Who should use this wheel?
Anyone who loves Chinese food and can't pick from the vast, regionally diverse spread of options. Whether you are ordering takeaway, choosing from a dim sum trolley, planning a hot pot night, or cooking at home, the wheel cuts through the indecision instantly.
3. How it works
Choose one of the four category presets, then hit Spin. The wheel lands on a dish or drink and announces it with a 干杯! — a classic Chinese toast. Spin again for another suggestion, or head straight to the kitchen or your favourite Chinese restaurant.
4. Features
- Four category presets: Chinese Classics, Sichuan & Spicy, Dim Sum, and Drinks & Sweets.
- Authentic dish names: Items are real, widely recognised Chinese dishes from across China's eight major culinary traditions.
- Mobile-friendly canvas wheel: Spins smoothly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

5. Chinese food categories
Chinese Classics covers the iconic dishes recognised worldwide — Peking Duck, Kung Pao Chicken, Wonton Soup, Char Siu, crispy Spring Rolls, steamed Dumplings, and Fried Rice. Sichuan & Spicy dives into the numbing heat of the southwest — Mapo Tofu, Dan Dan Noodles, Twice-Cooked Pork, Fish-Fragrant Pork, and bubbling communal Hot Pot. Dim Sum celebrates the Cantonese yum cha tradition — translucent Har Gow, open-topped Siu Mai, silky Cheung Fun, fluffy Char Siu Bao, and flaky Egg Tart. Drinks & Sweets rounds out the experience with Jasmine Tea, Bubble Tea, Chrysanthemum Tea, warming Tangyuan, and the potent clear spirit Baijiu.
6. Tips
Use Chinese Classics for a reliable weeknight order, Dim Sum for a weekend brunch outing, Sichuan & Spicy when you want bold heat, and Drinks & Sweets to round off the meal. Add your favourite local Chinese restaurant's specials to spin between real nearby options.
