Your first check

Topping orders now distinguish Chopped Green Onion from Chopped Leek. Compare both the requested type and quantity; customer comments now describe mismatches more clearly.

Do not collapse both names into one onion instruction

Before this change, the notes describe topping orders grouped as chopped onions. The new build separates two named types. Read the full current order rather than carrying a generic onion assumption from an older guide or a teammate's shorthand. A similar colour in a bowl picture is not enough to identify the requested ingredient. In a group, repeat the exact name when handing preparation or assembly to another player.

Inspect quantity independently from ingredient type

A correct ingredient can still be the wrong amount for an order. The update improves comments when topping types or quantities do not match, so preserve the complete feedback before building the next bowl. Compare one aspect at a time: requested type, ingredient used, requested quantity and observed service result. This page does not publish a universal topping count or a perfect-bowl formula. The right reference is the actual order being served in your current restaurant.

Use a bowl comparison that can explain the result

If you are learning the new distinction, keep a note of one order and its customer comment. On the next comparable attempt, avoid changing the soup, noodles, topping type and amount simultaneously. Otherwise an improved result cannot isolate what mattered. The official preview pictures are useful for reading a bowl's layers, but they do not provide a labelled comparison of these two chopped ingredients. For a continuing mismatch, capture the order text, ingredient label and feedback together and include the build.

Keep a useful comparison

Use this sheet while you check the problem. Tick a row when you have recorded an observation, even if its outcome is still unresolved. Downloading creates a local text snapshot; it does not save your game or send a report.

Questions before you retry

Can I substitute either topping because both are onions?

Use the specific topping named by the order; the new build distinguishes them.

Does a correct type guarantee a correct bowl?

No. Quantity and other aspects of the order can still differ.

Do the preview images identify both ingredients precisely?

No. They show game bowls; this distinction is sourced from the patch and current order text.
