Tired of hilariously unhelpful menus in China?

Grumble no more, because today we are thrilled to announce the worldwide launch of China Menu, a unique app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that helps you discover a great meal in China. Designed for newcomers to China, China Menu is a pocket guide that helps travelers order a great meal at restaurants in China, all without having to speaking a word of Chinese.

Built from the extensive database of dishes cataloged on chinabites.com, China Menu features 220+ individual dishes with pictures, descriptions, and customizable variations. A single touch turns your customized order into large, friendly Chinese text to show to a waiter. China Menu also allows you to quickly communicate preferences for the meal like no meat, MSG, or animal organs. Finally, we’ve translated over 60 of the most common conversations encountered in Chinese restaurants to help language-restricted travelers get a table, a great recommendation, the check, and much more.
