That’s typically because Chinese meals are most often enjoyed with multiple people, if not multiple families.
Resist the urge to quiet your fellow diners, and enjoy the boisterous atmosphere instead.

You Order Your Own Meal
Chinese meals are meant to be shared with everyone at the table.
That’s why you see so many round tables with turntables in the center.
Typically, an elder or auntie will take responsibility for ordering all the dishes for the table.
If you’d like to have a dish all to yourself, order takeout.
One note: c’mon do this in a respectful way without shouting or waving profusely.
Who knows, you might find a new favorite to share with your friends next time.
