不要香菜。
No cilantro
不要 (bú yào) means "don't want," and 香菜 (xiāngcài) means "cilantro." So it's literally "don't want cilantro."
Use this when ordering to specify no cilantro in your dish. It's common and understood everywhere. Pair it with 请 (qǐng) for politeness: 不要香菜请. Don't confuse 香菜 with 香肠 (xiāngcháng, sausage) — they sound similar but mean different things.
“No cilantro” in Chinese is 不要香菜。 (bú yào xiāngcài).
