How to Say ‘No ice, please.’ in Traditional Chinese
去冰，謝謝。
qù bīng xiè xiè
[chyoo bing shieh shieh]
💬 Usage Tip: [去] in drink orders means removing something, so [去冰] is "remove the ice." You'll also see this in fixed menu language like [去骨] for "boneless."
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [去冰] is the standard drink-shop wording in Taiwan; locals say this more often than [不要冰] for beverages. Some shops may still leave a tiny bit of ice unless you confirm otherwise.
