Here are some good Chinese restaurant options to order for your dad's birthday:

- Cooked Oysters (as your dad requested): This will make him happy on his special day. Order a generous portion.

- Vegetable Fried Rice: A classic that everyone usually enjoys. Get an extra side of rice if it's for a few people.

- Shrimp (for your mom): Can't go wrong with shrimp dishes at a Chinese restaurant. Ask for steamed or sautéed shrimp.

- Chicken Lettuce Wraps: A tasty appetizer your whole family can share. Features diced chicken, water chestnuts and hoisin sauce.

- Egg Drop Soup: A comforting soup to start the meal. Filling but not too heavy.

- Vegetable Spring Rolls: A light, crispy appetizer that makes a nice birthday party platter. Serve with dipping sauce.

- House Special Chow Mein or Lo Mein: Fried noodles with protein like chicken, shrimp or beef are usually satisfying entrees.

- Potstickers or Wontons: Fried or steamed dumplings are always a crowd-pleaser as an appetizer.

Have them bring the cooked oysters out first for your dad to enjoy while you all look over the other options. Balance dishes your family enjoys so everyone leaves full and happy. Happy birthday to your dad!
