从菜單上随意單點菜色

从菜單上随意單點菜色

The basic idea is that what’s being ordered will be customized according to the client’s wishes (as opposed to set meals on a menu).

e.g. Sushi a la carte (单点某一款寿司)

Definition from Cambridge Adv. Learner's Dict:
a la carte adjective [before noun], adverb
If you eat a la carte, you choose each dish from a separate list instead of eating a fixed combination of dishes at a fixed price:
You get more choice if you eat a la carte/from the a la carte menu.
Compare table d'hote.

FYI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/À_la_carte
À la carte (also a la carte), is a French phrase meaning "from the menu", and it is used in restaurant terminology in one of two ways:
First, it may refer to a menu of items priced and ordered separately rather than selected from a list of preset multi-course meals at set prices.
Second, it may designate the option to order a main course item alone that is otherwise served with a side or starter dish, such as soup or salad.
