Is everything OK with your meal?
Neutral Polite
What it really means
Waiters come over mid-meal and ask this. It is a routine check, not a real question — most people just say "Lovely, thanks" even with their mouth half full. Only mention a problem if there really is one.
Chinese explanation
服务员会在用餐中途过来这样问。这是例行询问，不是真的要你评价——大多数人嘴里嚼着饭也会说"Lovely, thanks"。真有问题才需要提出来。
