Chinese Food Bingo Cards

A game for a takeout night or a dim sum brunch. Cards are filled with real Chinese dishes — dumplings, wontons, kung pao — and the first to a full line calls it as the dishes arrive.

Free to design and print · edit any square · 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5

Chinese food bingo adds a game to a shared, lazy-Susan kind of meal. Use it at a takeout night, a dim sum outing, or a Lunar New Year dinner, keep the dishes below or add your favorites, and cards print in a couple of minutes.

Because every card is shuffled from the same square list, no two diners get the same grid, so the whole table can play as plates spin past and each person still hunts for their own dishes.

Ideas for your game

  • Match it to the takeout order

    Set the squares to the dishes you actually ordered so each carton opened at the table lets a diner mark a square as the meal unfolds.

  • Use it at dim sum

    Hand out cards before the carts roll by and mark each dish as it is chosen, nudging the table to try a few they would normally pass on.

  • Print a stack or play on phones

    Print a batch for the table, or share one link and a QR code so diners mark dishes from their seats while the lazy Susan keeps spinning.

Editable and printable

Edit every square. Open the card in the editor, keep the suggested squares or replace them with your own words, emoji, or photos, and pick a theme that fits the day.

Print a whole set at once. Each card is shuffled from the same square list, so every player gets a unique grid. Print to standard letter or A4 paper on any home printer — or order professionally printed cards shipped to your door.

Or play live. Share one link and a QR code and the whole room plays from their phones, in person or over video.
