      Quite a few restaurants I have been to in China don't have many plates, if any. Most people eat from bowls.

      当你用筷子的时候，用碗比用盘子容易。

        "We don't have plates" and "We have no plates" are totally equivalent in English.

          I think 'we have no plates' should be acceptable.

              Sorry, we have no plates. The words, 没有, as I learned it, is to have none - literally the absence of something. As in I 没有 patience for the rigid system Duolingo uses. LOL.

                Dishes are not the as plates; "dishes" includes bowls, cups, etc.

                      You'll just have to eat out of the take away food carton.

                        对不起 is more "sorry" than "excuse me."
