A decent way to make a Chinese menu.

Title: Nobel Chinese menu

When picking out a design, you need to think of what best reflects the atmosphere you want to convey to the intended audience. You could try to do one of your own but it makes more profitable sense to hire an artist to design it. There is no shortage of websites advertising to help, most are reliable. But enough about websites, this is about the menu itself.

Nobel Chinese restaurant is a stark contrast compared to Balls of Asia. There is more then one color thank goodness. These colors are good contrasts as they are paired together. The pics are good close ups of the available dishes, enough to stir a hunger hopefully.

Now the text is a hit and miss. Each page seems to have its own unique layout according to the number of dishes and space available. Not a bad idea but it does take away from consistency a little. The Chinese letters and English letters is another contrast that gives a good vibe to the menu of oriental flavor. It also causes a conflict of languages since not a lot of Americans can read  Hun Chinese.

It's a good menu. Note there are a couple of mistakes such as the red background for the second page and this being replaced by black from page four on. With a couple of fixes, It may get better.
