How Many Servings are in a Chinese Food Take-Out Container?

Question

I know it depends on what food you're eating, but typically, how many servings are in typical Chinese take-out containers? (Both small and large.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

The containers are either pint, or quart, take it from there.

Answer 2

samall - one

large - two

Answer 3

Actually it depends on where you go, I have often bought a small serving and it is enough for two. If you were to analyse the quantities, it wouldn't surprise me if there were two servings.

Answer 4

Depends on how hungry you are.  About once a week I get Yat Gaw Mein soup and bean curd with garlic sauce.  This lasts me 2-3 days.

Answer 5

Typically, both take-out containers come with an additional container with stamed white rice. assuming you'll eat the rice along with what you've ordered then a small container is for 2 people, and a large quart container is for 4. Due to our tendency to eat portions that are too large, most people think a small container is one serving.
