Lo Mein catering FAQs
Vendors typically want the order 24 to 48 hours ahead. Cutoff times differ across the 20 vendors serving lo mein, and each one lists its own on its menu page.
Tray sizes vary by vendor, and every menu lists the serving count. For a buffet, order one serving per head plus a 10 to 15 percent buffer.
It depends on the vendor. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan versions exist for many dishes, and menus label the items that qualify.
The usual picks are egg rolls, dumplings, and wonton soup. Choose based on how long the food sits out, because some sides hold better than others.
