- Acting for Two:
- In Chinese, many actors have two, three or even four roles.
- Happens rarely in the Japanese dub due to its having a larger cast; a few actors have two roles (Hiroki Takahashi, Yūsuke Kobayashi, Jun'ichi Suwabe among others) and one has three (Takuya Sato).
- In English, this happens quite often:
- Griffin Puatu voices Gold Chicken Shred, Taibai Duck, and Candied Ginkgo Nut.
- Michael Zekas voices Dezhou Chicken, Eight Immortals, and Geely Shrimp.
- Josh Putnam voices Dinghu's Veggie and Cabbage Blossom.
- Sean Chiplock voices Yipin Pot, Cured Meat Platter, and Longjing Shrimp.
- Reece Bridger voices Sichuan Hotpot and Peking Duck.
- Andre Faris voices Hu-Geng and Harbin Fried Pork.
- All-Star Cast: For both the original voice track and the Japanese dub.
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Food spirits who look younger and sound higher-pitched are often voiced by women.
- No Export for You: Downplayed. The game did get a Japanese server, which was mostly the same as other servers except for the absence of two Food Spirits: Cabbage Blossom and Farewell My Concubine. They still appeared in the game as enemies, just not playable.
- Playing Against Type:
- Lóngjǐng Shrimp in the Japanese dub is voiced by the polite, soft-spoken... Kenjiro Tsuda. This has gotten Questionable Casting complaints from the Chinese fandom for making him sound too old.
- Swallow Bun's low, depressing voice in the dub is provided by Daiki Yamashita.
- Real-Life Relative: Dish of Prosperity’s Chinese voice actor, Zizi, is the son of Ah Jie - Buddha’s Temptation’s Chinese voice actor. This is referenced in the game as Dish of Prosperity sees Buddha’s Temptation as his adoptive father.
- Uncredited Role: English voice actors are not credited in-game.
