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.
