Creative Chinese Restaurant Names

Chinese food is incredibly popular in the United States. In fact, there are more than 45,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States – more than the number of Burger King, McDonald’s Wendy’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants combined!

If you want to open (or already run) a Chinese restaurant, the good news is that Americans love the cuisine. The bad news is that there is a lot of competition. One way that you can distinguish yourself is by coming up with a creative name for your establishment – whether it’s funny, clever, or a play on your most popular dishes.

Budget Branders is dedicated to helping small and medium-sized restaurants expand their marketing efforts through custom disposable products. We work with you to help bring your name and logo to life on cups, bowls, bags, and more. Reach out today to learn more about how we can help your business grow.

What’s In a Name?

Picking a name for your restaurant may not seem like a big deal. You might want to just keep it simple, and name it after a family member, a region, or a favorite dish. While these are all viable options, they may ultimately limit your ability to market your restaurant.

The name of your restaurant is probably the first impression that customers will have of your business, whether they see it on a delivery app, on social media, or as they drive past your establishment. Choosing a memorable or catchy restaurant name can help your brand stick in customers’ minds. It can also be a huge boost when trying to build a marketing campaign.

For example, you can name your restaurant something basic like China King or Peking Garden. These are great choices! But they may limit what you can do when it comes to creating a cohesive brand that can be used across all forms of advertising and marketing.

When it comes to choosing a restaurant name, start by thinking about your restaurant’s mission and values. What makes your place different than other Chinese restaurants in the region? Are you trying to attract a certain kind of customer?

Getting creative with a restaurant name can be a risk. If it’s too complicated, then it may not translate into marketing efforts. If it goes too far with humor, then it may offend some people. But if you get it right, it can be a tremendous boon to your business.

There are certain words that are used frequently in Chinese restaurant names – like China, Golden, Garden, Wok, Dragon, and Panda. While these words can be a signal of exactly the type of food you offer, using one of these 100 words can also make it hard to stand out from the crowd. You may want to avoid them if you want to get truly creative.

We know that coming up with a name for your restaurant can be hard. Below, we’ve compiled a list of great names for a Chinese restaurant. While you don’t want to copy one of these restaurant’s names (especially if they’re trademarked!), they can serve as a jumping off point to fuel your brainstorming sessions.

Develop Your Restaurant’s Name

Feeling inspired and ready to develop the name for your new Chinese restaurant? Even with inspiration coming up with a memorable brand name can be difficult. To save you time and energy, we created a free restaurant name generator that you can use to create your restaurant’s name. You can generate as many names as you want until you find the perfect name. You can click the button below to use our free name generator.

Telling a Story Through Your Brand

When choosing a name, you might think that it is just a matter of what you put on your signs and website. But your restaurant’s name is part of its overall brand – and should be part of its story.

The most effective companies seek to tell a story through their branding. What does that mean? In its simplest terms, brand storytelling involves creating an emotional connection between your customers and your brand. Ideally, the stories that you tell should be authentic to your company and connect to your brand values.

At its core, brand storytelling involves using every aspect of your brand – including your restaurant’s name, color scheme, font, and content – to create consistent, positive brand associations.

For example, the ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s is known for naming its products after musicians, comedians, and public figures. It also positions itself as a socially responsible, progressive brand. These values are reflected in its packaging – featuring funky illustrations – as well as its marketing. When people think of Ben & Jerry’s, they don’t just think about delicious ice cream – but the messaging behind the brand.

When it comes to telling a story with your restaurant’s brand, you should start with your mission and values – which will also inform your name. If you plan to sell organic, plant-based Chinese food, then your name might incorporate those values – such as by including the word “green” as part of your name.

You can then tell this story throughout your branding. You may choose to purchase custom paper bags over plastic and to serve tea in custom compostable cups. Your content – such as photos and videos of your restaurant – can focus on the story that you are telling about being a more “green,” healthy, and sustainable business. For example, you might snap a picture of piles of fresh produce artfully arranged on a counter in the kitchen.

Telling your brand’s story is all about maintaining a consistent message throughout each aspect of your marketing. This can be carried through everything from your menus to your promotional items to your online presence. In this way, you can better position yourself as a restaurant – and make sure that customers know exactly what to expect when they patronize your establishment.
