As Chinese cuisine gains popularity across the globe, more restaurants, food brands, and local specialties are expanding internationally.

Elite Translation specializes in Chinese-to-English menu and recipe translation services. Our team combines language expertise with culinary knowledge to deliver clear, accurate, and appetizing translations that bridge language and cultural gaps.


What We Translate:

  • In-house menus for Chinese restaurants, hotpot chains, tea shops, etc.

  • Delivery platform menus (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.)

  • Menu brochures, digital menu boards, and promotional descriptions

  • Regional specialty dishes, banquet menus, street food guides

  • Recipes for cookbooks, e-commerce, or food-related video content

  • Bilingual table cards, signage, and wall menus


Our Translation Approach: Clear, Accurate & Culturally Sensitive

A good menu translation goes beyond literal meaning—it should capture ingredients, preparation, flavor, and appealin a way international customers can relate to.

✅ Descriptive & appetizing names:
"麻辣香锅" → Spicy Dry Pot with Assorted Ingredients
✅ Organized for Western diners:
Menus categorized by cold dishes, hot dishes, mains, sides, drinks, etc.
✅ Avoiding awkward literal translations:
"夫妻肺片" is rendered as Spicy Sliced Beef & Tripe in Chili Sauce, not Husband and Wife Lung Slices.
