On the Placement of Tableware when Eating in a Hotel

The dishes and bowls are placed nearest to you from left to right, that is, on the right side of the cabinet. Chopsticks are placed on the bowl, just above or to the right of the sauce bowl. Ceramic cups are placed directly above or on the left side of the plate, and glasses are usually placed on the right side of the bowl.

If you are left-handed, the position above is reversed.
