At the table
Choose the sauce and fillings before ordering. Lift the roll gently so the thin skin stays intact; eat over the plate to catch loose filling.
Chili can be strong. Soy may be present in fermented tofu, beans and sauces; ask about ingredients if needed.
Ask “这个酱有肉或猪油吗？”—does this sauce contain meat or lard? Green chili sauce is not automatically meat-free.
